Thanks for pointing that out. It's 8 vs 4 cartridges. Using a single site and comparing cartridge price, it is almost $200 more for the c7030. That helps making the decision to go with the 525 sqft model. Thanks all for answering!

Would you still go 525 if the 700 is $300 cheaper?

We have a 20,000 gallon pool that was remodeled 10 years ago. As I want to reduce maintenance as much as possible, we put in a Pentair Tritus II Tr140 sand filter. It has served well from a maintenance perspective. It has developed a crack, so sand gets in the pool. Also time to replace the...

I'm looking for a second opinion. Our pool remodeller came to move pool pipes due to a house extension. At the time I asked him what can be done as the spa drains water overnight, usually about half or less. He mentioned that the whole Jandy check and direction valves and plumbing needs to be...

We have a 20k gallon pool that was remodeled 7-8 year ago. At that time the early 70's DE filter was changed to a sand filter, specifically Triton II TR140. I wanted lower maintenance, back washing rather than spending a frustrating time cleaning out the DE filter. The reason for this size, was...

Thanks for the info. My Easytouch is about 3 years.

The Easytouch * I have does not have the Intellichlor support. I've purchased a IC40 but is now wondering which way to go for the power. I can buy the add-on power box, or I can buy the transformer that goes inside Easytouch. If I go with the buying the transformer inside the Easytouch, do I...

It was working fine for a few days, but today the pump wouldn't start. I'm going to order a new relay!

The pump started running at the scheduled start time. I ran the self-diagnostic test last night (in the dark) and it gave error code 14, LCD backlight and Switch (buttons). Not sure if this was due to incorrect button press. I was going to run it again today, and now see that the pump has shut...

One more pice of information. This morning I switched from Service/Timout mode back to normal and the pump did not start. I'll wait and see if the schedule will start it again.

I'm having a problem that started a few days ago. I'm running a VS pump with an Easytouch. It has been running fine for since installed 3 years ago. Now when the schedule pass the end time, the pump doesn't stop. It continues to run. I can put the system in Service/Timeout mode and the pump...

Thank you all. it's now been a couple of days since the backwash and I do not have any more gravel/sand in the pool, though I haven't tried to backwash again. What is interesting is that the gravel/sand only exited into the pool via the closest outlet to the equipment, which is on a baja reef...

Thanks jblizzle. I should have mentioned that after but back in filter mode, the flow rate is back top normal. If I have a broken lateral, wouldn't I see gravel coming through all the time or only after back washing? My thinking is as the lateral is at the bottom outlet, the gravel would push...

We remodeled the pool 8 months ago. At that time, we added a Triton II TR140 sand filter. It has gravel in the bottom with sand of top. I've only had to backwash the filter twice. The first time was fine but after the second backwash, I found gravel and sand in the pool, more gravel than sand...

I ended up going to Thompson Building Material for getting the gravel.
