I have in hand a brand new Pentair superflo 2spd. It is lower that the old one. Platform or lower the intake lines? I am leaning towards lowering the intake lines with a new 3 way valve. I'll snag some pictures later today Love this site, thank you for the helpful responses.

I ordered the pentair whisperflo 2spd

TFP, I am getting ready to cut out my old pump (hurry up UPS!) and have some questions as a prep for new PVC. http://imgur.com/a/6soOW I couldn't get pics in the thread 1. Where is the best place to cut for my horizontal intake? This seems tight, should I move the new pump back on the pad to...

It is outside and is a replacement. Electric and gas line are in place. Will have to run new PVC

Thanks. Is it worth it to pay the $1,000 in labor the PB wants to charge to keep the warranty in tact?

Worth it to pay the extra $200 to get the 333? Here are the 2 I am looking at Raypak 333BTU Raypak 266BTU Had a plumber check the existing gas line and just had the meter swapped out so I am good there. I will be installing myself along with a new pump and replumbing all my PVC to accommodate.

I have natural gas, not propane so I would go with the H250FDN as a comparable. Did you DIY or professionally install?

Thanks Pool!

Hello TFP, I came last week and you helped me locate a correct model to replace top MPV. That got me thinking about my current set-up and wife really wants to add a heater. We are already plumbed for it, but the existing one has been disconnected and doesn't work. Current set-up 16,000 gal IG...

Thanks Dom! That is the same plumbing set up and everything. Thanks!

Good morning TFP. I need your experienced opinion. I bought this pool last year and getting ready to open it for season. I noticed this crack where the pressure gauge is screwed into. This will leak when water runs through and I am wonder if I can seal it or if my only option is to replace the...

Interesting, thank you so much. I think the safe play is to open that cap and run a hose. No idea where it goes back in ground. The other pipe to the far right is dead and needs to be removed completely. It was hooked up to a spa that's no longer here.

That makes sense. Next question, it's the right line in the 3rd picture. It has that cap but also goes back into the ground. Do I need to locate where it goes under ground or can I remove that cap to help drain my pool for closing
