    Intelliflo repair

    I have 8+ years on an intelliflo that as others have described, developed small leaks around the housing and is making bearing screaming-for-help type noises- I’ve ordered the seal kit but is there anything I can do to help repair damaged bearings (assuming I didn’t catch it in time to prevent...

    Pool habits/routines - Swim, Eat, Repeat!

    110% agree on SWCG - when I see a drop in FC levels or after heavy swimmer load I just kick on super-chlorinator mode for a few hours via my iPhone and good to go ???! - maybe onxce or twice a year I super chlorinate with liquid to blast FC to 15 but very rare...

    Spa draining water into pool

    Spa draining water into pool

    3rd pool for me so have some experience, but first time I've had this problem, and always in a learning mode:D...have checked all check valves and verified all are operating correctly; the last two items to check are the suction side valve (automated) and the recent addition of a Spa blower.
