I just replaced my entire pad for the exception of my filter. I have 1 1/2 plumbing below. I had no idea what pump was on the pool before. My psi with pulling equally from hot tub and pool are about 16. Used to be with old pump 4psi. When using the hot tub psi is 26. What do you think about...

The filter is new..circa 2006. so I am keeping it. The heater had been removed years ago, so the only thing other than plumbing I would need to haul off is the pump. Lucky for me the entire thing is brass, so maybe I can a few bucks for it. I agree I think I am going to do it myself, should be...

Mark, thanks, I feel the same way. I think I am going to go with the intellifo. It also has a $200.00 rebate from SDGE. The pool guy thinks a 3/4 will do the job, and MAY work for solar, but I dont want to have to buy a new pump in a year when I go with solar. The Bid is around 4,000.00 for a...

I guess I feel that $1000.00 for a day worth of work is too high.

Mark, I am still in the process of purchasing equipment, but I am still unsure of which one to go with. I am taking your advice and looking into the variable speed, but I one pool guy tell me it is too much, and another saying the intelliflo is my best option. I think I am sold on it, But what...

Ok. After pricing out my equipment I came to a total of 2,875. no tax, free shipping. I have received one bid of $4,100, and on for $4,075. I feel the labor rate, in which is not broken down in the bid is too high.

Ok Pros... I would like a price on new equipment here in so cal. I feel like my local "pool guys" are out to lunch. Please give me some numbers! purchase and install pentair intellifo, pentair mastertemp 400,000btu, 2-2" 3 way jandy valves, rainbow chlorinator, and backflush valve. All...

Anyone ever order anything from them? The prices are incredible...just wanted to know if there has been any complaints. I am looking to order a heater and pump. Without tax and shipping the deal is great. any thoughts?

Again thanks for the advice.

I believe it can be a DIY job. It is fitting steel connections together with the coupling and the proper pipe dope,pressure testing and checking for leaks. How hard can it be? My original question is not If I can or cannot complete this project, It was a specific question about sizing. Thanks...

Thats what I wanted to hear. The step up is the question. I think I am going to build it from my 1" 90 and step it to 11/4 for the run. Thanks.

The line is going above ground along side the house, so I have to use steel pipe. the heater requires the 1 1/4 so that is not negotioable, but my question is where it starts and if I can increase from 1" to 1 1/4 vs. replacing the connection that is already there. the run is 40' not 90' but NG...

I have determined that I will be needing 1 1/4" black pipe for a run of 40 feet. Off of my meter is a 1" 90 that has been capped ( old pool heater line that was removed years ago) My question is can I hook to that 90 and increase from there to 11/4 or do I have to make a new connection from the...

what does up rated 1hp?

so as luck would have it I found the ID tag for the pump.buried under the pump. It is partially readable. It says Aqua Flo model 10 S.N 2027...I posting.php?mode=reply&f=5&t=43717cant read the rest. Could this be that it is a 1hp pump? :party:
