so just in case... what is my next best option to control a VS pump via WiFi within this price point.

Yup just did exactly that, I asked them to hold off on shipping until I call them in the morning. Wish I saw this posted in the bottom before ordering. I happen to be coming down there tomorrow and will only be about an hour from the store. 3 year manufacturer warranty when picked up in our...

Bought this one here https://www.poolsupply4less.com/Pentair-011075-p/011075.htm?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_qexBhCoARIsAFgBlev1yVUClaKNk-_8rTcAiL-POu0xZzvQTQEu-0zNWHC5QoE36Jer5xkaAk-lEALw_wcB

so I just read through this line here. I have friends and family that are general contractor. I wouldn't have a problem with having them write me a workorder. *Note: Qualified Installer - Defined as a licensed professional who charges a fee for his services, and possesses a business license...

WTH this I did not know. Is this a pentair thing? makes me want to cancel my order. nearly 1800 for a pump with only 60 day warranty might not work

Just ordered the 3hp model can't wait to get it and start shaving off my energy bill some more.

Thanks Jim, I will buy what's most efficient based on everyone's experience. Before this I was just combing through some threads about 1.5" plumbing, many recommend that at the pad, I can convert the 1.5" plumbling to 2" and leaving the underground plumbing the way it is. I think this is what...

My plumbing is only 1.5" and my current pump is 1.5hp. With the smaller diameter plumbing, would I benefit from the 3hp once reduced from 2 to 1.5?

I have a perfectly working Hayward VSP pump. However, what lacks is my ability to control it remotely. This is at my AirBNB and my pump is required to run at minimum speed to trigger the heater 24/7. The only reason I'm considering the Intelliflo3 is the Wifi capability w/o the need of an...

get the 50mm that's roughly 2 inches that should get the probe pass the opening. As for power, the heater is a 110v, I don't remember the sonoff is 12v or USB but whatever it was I know i just tapped into the existing AC power inside the heater. no additional power needs to brought there if...

I was going to say, this is our first pool and I've only experienced with DE filter but the thing I hate most is such a mess it makes when backwashing. At least using Sand I can just dump it onto the lawn or dirt area. Sand appearing to be the cheapest of the bunch and cheap to replace so I do...

My current filter is a 48 sq ft DE, if I went with a Cartridge filter, something like a Pentair 420 should do the trick right? As for Sand Filter, the second to the largest Hayward is a 27". Cost is more than half of a DE filter. Seems like many of you like the sand filters. I don't mind...

I've been doing a little reading and it seems DE filters out perform a catridge filter. As they say, don't believe everything you read on the internet. For about $200 I can replace the valve, I'm wondering if it's worth spending the $1500 or so to replace the entire filter. Any expert here...

Yes it appears to be. So replace it with a Catridge filter then?

My Pentair DE filter have the plunger type backwash valve. I replaced the entire plunger and o ring but for some reason I get little leaks coming out of it. I'm just going to replace the entire valve assemble and was wondering if there is a "better" option out there.
