Thanks Matt and Jim - great feedback on the other threads and thanks for sharing that 614i review detail - it addressed all my main questions/points of concern. Spoke to Margaret at Marina (she's great btw) and she pointed me to the Evo 614iq @ $849 (don't see the 614i, maybe due to...

Good morning TFP experts. In Aug of 2016 my booster pump died and I decided then to dump the dated Polaris 380, cap off the booster line, and invested in an M400. Over the years the robot has performed well, and the only issue I encountered would be when one of the tracks was dislodged and I...

Loaded up 2 x 1/3 hp pumps with those attachments. Ran 8p - 730a. Start water temp was 93 finish was 88. Starting air temp was 92 with dew point of 75 and 58% relative humidity. Ending air temp was 78 with a dew point of 76 and 93% relative humidity. I like the setup; my only complaint is...

I need to go buy a lottery ticket :) I actually have a second identical pump and will rig up another setup. I'll take some overnight temp measurements.

I just happened to have this pump in the garage, and the Kool Pool fitting had to be tweaked to fit the output. This is a 1/3hp.

I'm not sure as I do not know what the flow rate requirement is for it, but I am thinking maybe a 1/2hp or 1hp pump could run two of them at the long end of my pool and accomplish what I need and not compromise the existing plumbing. My plan is shifting to building a portable aerator unit and...

I called my local pool guy that remodeled my pool and asked him about this setup I'm asking about. He told me it would not work either. Mentioned the Polaris suction should be after the filter coming off the main return and to your point above says there is no supply unless the main pump is...

I do not. Is there any easy way to find out?

In order for the aerators to get enough pressure to throw the water, else it's just a gentle arc out of each aerator and increased flow to the other returns. I have 6 returns to the pool - 3 have aerators and 3 are plugged with their flow through plugs. Check this out: Frequently Asked...

Pretty confident the leaks are because of the aerators creating more PSI on old glue joints/connections. Filter pressure is 20 PSI normally, and shoots to 30 with 3 aerators and plugs in. Will the Polaris pump idea not work because the suction side is not strong enough on its own to pull...

Hello TFP Experts. I live in Houston and like many other have been trying to find a way to lower my water temps during the heat wave in an affordable manner, without too much uplift. I’ve researched a bunch on the forum and went down the aeration route and landed on the Kool Your Pool pool...

perfect, thank you

Hello pool gurus, I could use some help please. You are looking at my auto fill and overflow bucket. I recently renovated my pool and had this supply side connected to a manual ball valve (not pictured). The small hole is the supply side, large hole goes to pool and standing pipe is the overflow...
