Just installed a new pump. Pentair SuperFlo 2 speed. The pump is running but only at one speed. From what I saw on the wiring diagram it said to connect the ground, red to 1 and black to 2. There is another wire capped off from the switch. Am I supposed to include that in the wiring or connect...

I'm looking at getting a 1 HP, 2-speed Pentair SuperFlo. Is there an "energy efficient" model and a regular model? If so, could someone just tell me the model number (or some other way to identify it in a google search) of the energy efficient model? Thanks! Sara

Let me start by saying that I do not know what kind of timer I have at the moment. I think it's just a generic outdoor timer. I'm changing from a single speed 1 HP to a dual speed 1 HP. Is it likely that my current timer will work with the new pump (I mean, are they generally compatible?)? What...

I realize that this is probably a very elementary question, but I'm pretty over my head already... I'm thinking of upgrading to a 2-speed. I currently have a 1 HP pump and I want to get a 1 HP 2-speed pump (right now I'm looking at the Pentair SuperFlo). Hypothetically, if I'm currently...

We have to replace our current pump (I believe that it’s a 1 HP Water Ace, also referred to as a “throw away” brand by one pool store) and I’ve been thinking that a dual speed would be the way to go. Our electricity is around $.12/kwh, so I’m not looking at the variable speeds. I read in a...

I've got things shooting out through my return jet. In this case, it's the larger granules from the CYA that didn't make it into my sock, but I also get large and small particles, as well as whatever is on the bottom of the pool, shooting out the return jet whenever I run the vacuum--even when...

I know this is a looooooong shot, but I figured that it didn't hurt to ask. I am right on the verge of getting in my pool for the very first time after moving in to the house in December and fighting off swamp-thang (thanks to TFP). Last night's overnight FC loss test was 2ppm. I'm hoping...

I have dark areas all over the pool (the majority of the pool, ranging from greenish brown to black)--they start about a foot down from the top edge in the shallow end, a couple of feet down from the top in the deep end, and then randomly on the floor, stairs, and steps in the deep end. It...

I got my Taylor k-2006 test kit yesterday. I've been fighting with algae since we bought the house in December. It's mostly clear now--until I brush the sides and bottom and then it's cloudy (but as of yesterday, still clear enough to see the main drain even after brushing, which is promising)...

We're new green pool owners as of December 2009. We've bought tons of stuff from the pool stores, but still have yet to get the pool clean enough to swim in. The pool is mostly blue, but still cloudy (we're still finding algae when we brush). The water test kit (K-2006) is in the mail and...
