Thanks @mknauss - I'm still working with the remodeler as we have not finished paying. Tossed this Q out to the TFP community for ideas. I'll bring this up with them and see what they say. I just can't believe it would happen this bad after just a couple of days. Looks like I'm going to be...

We do have a soft water system to all but the front bib. This is the ONLY bib used to fill the pool from initial fill after the remodel a few days ago - was told by the remodeler not to use soft and we did not. They installed the filler yesterday, and it is on soft and they said that was fine. I...

lol

Not a newbie - lifetime member due to all the great advice here. So, long story short - major pool remodel and added a grotto, waterfall, and waterslide -it's awesome. Problem is that it has white stains all over - i'll attach a pic. Chemistry from TF-100 Day 1: FC: 4 CC: 0 PH: 7.6 TA: 90 CH...

Well, there's no happy ending here yet, turns out there is algae in the popups (and i'm sure in the pipes because they have not been used for so long. @Jace4fla - i turned the valve to wall returns and removed the handle when we first got the hayward - guess i should have had it just a bit open...

So my pool is quite old (26 yr) and the pop-up system never worked well, we were always taking apart the clocking mechanism (round thing with balls and gears), and still had to vacuum all the time. So we got a hayward ultravac about 12 years ago and never looked back. There is no dedicated port...

Picture 3 looks like the valving for your pop-up cleaning system. it rotates a disk that lifts a ball one (or more) at a time in a circle to indicate which popup(s) are active for a period of time. Lots of fun to work on /s. I cut mine out and bought an ultravac.

Well that makes lots of sense to me. So the next obvious questions.... which one to get? how much should it cost? and how hard is it to install? btw, thanks for your help and input!!

They didn't say anything about a surge protector. Why would you need one for a vs pump versus a ss pump? what happened to yours borjis?

So went to price out a motor and seal kit and impeller. over 400. i know i could save at least a third if i price it out and have it shipped, but instead, i went for a Pentair 011018 - Intelliflo VS Pump with Timer. all told, after install was $1200. 15% off, 15% off installation, $50 rebate...

lol, nope. i have learned a few things from this AWESOME site.

Sure. Here's. The impeller. I tried to use one of those back out bits to remove the piece of the shaft , but no luck. Here's the motor end
