    Considering Returning my Z5

    And... I'm done. This thing has no suction power. Just keeps clouding up my pool and within 2 days it all settles back down. It even falls down from the sides rather than crawling down. If it's not defective then it's a terrible product. Very unhappy that Epic is going to try and hit me for a...

    Considering Returning my Z5

    I feel like I've run it quite a bit. Does yours pick up most debris in a single pass? The cord tangling is super frustrating. I would say that it gets to the point that it hinders the movement. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Considering Returning my Z5

    Hello TFP! So I picked up a Z5 from Epic Pool Supply about two weeks ago. After reading all the reviews it sounded like the Dolphin Z5 was the way to go. Unfortunately, I'm feeling really underwhelmed and I'm wondering if I have too high of expectations or if I genuinely received a dud unit...

    2-Speed Motor Replacement?

    Should I be worried about this pump being too small or with dynamic head? The pool has a non functional electric heat pump in line and the water feature.

    Is there a good place to purchase those parts? Does that price seem good for the motor replacement? Thanks!

    2-Speed Motor Replacement?

    It looks like I'm running the pump to long. Was going 6 hours in the winter 8 in the summer. Would this motor fit? http://www.amazon.com/Pentair-355003S-Replacement-SuperFlo-Inground/dp/B008HLLOMW

    2-Speed Motor Replacement?

    I was thinking it might be overpowered for this pool. Nothing wrong with the pump currently. The pump and pool are at the same grade and there is a basic water feature that I don't normally use. I'm planning on purchasing a robotic cleaner at some point. I was estimating that my monthly cost...

    2-Speed Motor Replacement?

    Hello All, I am brand new to the forum and have an interest in replacing my pump for energy costs. Our electric pricing is two tiered with the upper tier (we always hit) having a rate of $0.11/kW. I was initially looking at a VS pump but found out that a 2-speed upgrade may be an option. The...

    Hello from Florida

    I'm excited to have the TFP community as a resource and avoid the trappings of the pool store. I've been lurking for awhile but this is my first post. Recently bought a new home and it has a somewhat neglected 18'x36' in-ground pool. Not looking as bad anymore. I've purchased my TF-100 but...
