    I looked over that thread but ..... There was a list of fittings that were the same male to male that I had looked at. There was also a screw in fitting. This looks like it is intended to screw into the vacuum port. Two things with that part are that it looks like it sticks out from the wall...

    I don't want to use the skimmer port. It is less convenient and my 25 ft hose would not be long enough. The adapter you linked to is the same as I mentioned. The only way that I could make that fit into the vacuum port is to attach a female to male section on to it. I have a rubber adapter...

    Not anymore. I have a spring loaded flap on it that screwed into the threads.

    I have a manual vacuum brush and a 25' hose. The hose has two female ends. One female is slightly larger and, I guess, designed to go over the male connector on the cleaner. The other end appears to be a normal pool hose female. So how do I connect the hose to my female vacuum port? I have...

    VS pump .. calc minimum RPM using filter psi?

    When I 1st moved in, multiple pool people told me that 8 hours in the summer was about right. I have also found that it is about right to keep the pool clean. The Pentair calculator indicates that I would be getting about 1.6 turnovers per day @ 8 hours. I am not an expert but I have been...

    VS pump .. calc minimum RPM using filter psi?

    I will be replacing my single speed 2 hp Whisperflo with an Intelliflo VS in the next couple of days. I know that there will be some trial and error figuring out the speed and time but in general how should I calculate the run time needed in relation to the speed. My Whisperflo needs to run 6...

    A O Smith (Century) V-Green Pump Motor

    Does anyone have any experience with this motor: AO Smith / Century V-Green EMC27SQV ? I am looking at this as an energy efficient replacement for my Pentair Whisperflo. At first I was looking for a full pump like the Pentair Intelliflow or Hayward Ecostar. Replacing just the motor would save...

    Rewiring Timer

    In order to help with that I will be running my pump somewhere between 12 and 16 hours a day. I will set my timer for the chlorinator to the middle half of that and check the timers for accuracy every once in a while.

    Rewiring Timer

    [T20000R-Series-Operating.pdf[/attachment]I currently have my pump and chlorinator timed with a Intermatic T21004R. I will be replacing my pump with a pump that has a built in timer. Aqua Rite advises that the chlorinator should always be on a timer in case the flow switch should fail. I have...

    Aqua Rite with no Timer

    I currently have a Pentair Whisperflow pump and my Aqua Rite T-Cell-3 connected to a single manual timer. I will be replacing my pump with an Intelliflow variable speed pump which has its own built in timer. My intention was to just remove the on/off tabs from the timer and leave the...
