Bill, was that pretty recent ? Doesn't sounds like the quote I got was too bad for the size

We’ve had our pool for 11 years the existing liner is beginning to tear around our swim out bench, so far been using gorilla duct tape and it’s holding but understand I need a new replacement line. We have 2 large labs so looking at 28mm vs 20. Pool is 17x40 shallow end 3.5 ft deep end 5.5...

Typically yes. I believe it has a flow sensor to detect if the main pump shuts off. I have had it overheat and shut down once in 4 years.

Cowboy, I don’t have a timer, but the Vsp is programmable so I usually run 2 cycles at low rpms to save on energy but can program it depending on what I need as far as chlorine goes, when I need to run the vacuum I have to run it at 2k rpms for the booster to do a good job.

We have had our pool for around 10 yrs chlorine De filter Polaris booster pump for the vacuum and a pentagram Super flow Vs looking at the core 55 seems pretty simple nice warranty don’t have to worry about timers etc. the only think I would need to do is set up a gfi outlet because...

I put my cover on last week just to keep the leaves out. Will probably close it in the next 2 weeks, I did bump up my Chlorine levels and left my vacuum in so I can still run it but at least I won't have to deal with a thousand leaves falling in it every day. When I go to close I will just...

My pool is surrounded by trees tons of them, a lot of them don't drop their leaves until November so even when I blew the leaves off pieces off them go through the mess cover and then there is a lot of clean up come opening time. When we have a storm blow through when the pool is open it is...

The only year I ever opened to a crystal clear pool was the year I put a tarp over my mesh cover. Yes it is a pain to pump off the water but I am going to do it again this year because the leaves break down on top of the cover and you open to a not so clear and clean pool, at least in my case...

Polaris 3900 had it around 5-6 years works great, had to replace the bag a couple of times and a part on the tail, other than that it has been very reliable

my walmart still has it at 2.50 bought 15 jugs yesterday all dated June 10th 2016

I have been using it for a few weeks now and so far so good. Every time I go into Wally World I usually pick up 9 bottles for 2.50. I have a decent stock pile at home now :) I don't know when the sale will go off but I will keep buying as long as it stays at 2.50

Thank you all, I have not done the OCLT, I need to read what it is :) The test strips are way off in color on everything, they usually do a pretty good job of ballparking the ranges. I have added a ton of Clorox in the past 2 days. I am enjoying the new Pentair 342001 SuperFlo...

so according the TFT kit I have FC at around 20 and no CC reading. What I don't get is why the pool is still cloudy and why the test strips show no Free Chlorine but if dip it into Clorox it turns dark blue as I would expect. I would think if my FC was really 20 the strips would be off the...

I have the TFT 100 kit. I have backwashed the filter 3 times it is running around 10%. regarding the test strips they don't turn color but will turn color when I add the Clorox and move the strip closer to the jet they will register high . I don't think my FC is high I am going to test...

First time using Bleach last fall my CYA levels were over 200 from years of using pool store pucks so I drained over 3/4 of the pool before closing. I opened it a few day ago and it had a decent amount of algae which appears to be gone now and my new CYA level is around 40. I installed a new...
