My 1.50 HP Challenger Pump gave up the ghost so I need a new pump ASAP. I had looked around about 6 months ago and the consensus seemed to be the Pentair VS pumps were the pumps of choice. I have a few questions: 1. Has anything changed in the market or is Pentair still the pumps of choice...

Hi Guys, I currently have an old 1.5HP Challenger Pump that is drawing 8.4A @ 240v. I typically run it 6 hours a day, 3 in the morning and 3 n the evening, and it has no trouble keeping the pool clean at that run time. If my math is correct that is 2016 Watts and my electricity is rate is...

The Dolphin M500 I ordered from Margaret at Marina showed up yesterday and it didn't complain a bit about working in 95 degree heat and 90 degree water. I like this guy already. I didn't see anything enclosed about how to claim the rebate. I know I have seen somewhere in one of the cleaner...

I started looking for a new pool cleaner last year when the booster motor died (Again) for the old Polaris 280. I tried a demo from a dealer not too far away. It was either an S300i or an Active 30i, I forgot which it was. I didn't buy it because it did not have a swivel on the cord and after...

Sorry this is a long story. I am trying to help out an old pre-katrina neighbor, and good friend of mine, with a pool disaster. The owner of the pool is an elderly lady who went to her local pool store ever since the pool was drained and filled about 10 years ago after hurricane katrina...

It was recently brought to my attention that I am eligible for a $400 Utility rebate on any of the pumps listed below and if I pay someone to install it they are eligible for a $100 rebate to offset the cost of installing the pump. I know nothing about any of these pumps but I know enough about...

First let me say throughout all of this my pool water has looked perfect. Perfectly clear sparkling water. That said, I have a little black Algae in my pool. I had a little a couple of years ago and cleared it up. My SWG went out recently and the BA made a come back. It is like the pool has...

Do any of you guys have a recommendation on a new 3/4 hp booster pump. I put a new pump on it when I remodelled the pool about 4 years ago and replaced it about 18 months ago. Is this normal not getting two years out of a booster pump? I have purchased Polaris PB4 pumps on the last 2 but if...

First let me say I am pretty new to the forum so if this is a dumb or pedestrian question please just move it to where it belongs. In searching for a replacement salt cell I have noticed a few sites suggest some extras to go along with it(surprise, surprise). First I noticed by the time you...

I have an autopilot DIG-220 with a SC-36 cell (5 blade cell). The cell is on the way out and I am going to replace it soon. The SC-36 has kept up with my pool but I run it hard. I have been told by a few sales people that buying a larger cell will extend the life of it as I can run it at a...

Hello Guys, this is my first time visiting your forum and I would like to say hi and thanks for having me. I just ordered a new filter, ideally it would have been nice to find this forum before I did that but I am where I am. I have been owning a pool, that came with the house about, for a few...
