    Going from 1.5 to 2 inch pipe

    So I have a 24,000 gallon inground. My research tells me that 1.5" piping is really only efficient to ~18k gallons and I really should have a 2" system for more flow, less velocity. Clearly I'm not going to dig up all my 1.5" piping underground but as I'm in the process of replacing a dinosaur...

    Help with pump and tripping breaker

    I have this old pump. For the 2 years we've owned the house it's worked well. Last Week it shut off at night during a storm due to a tripped breaker. I reset it and a few days later, same thing. Checked the timer and it appears fine (it's inside at the panel). Cleaned the basket, nothing major...

    Troubleshooting an issue right now that might just require a new gfci, or possibly a new pump. I am not the original owner and don't know how old this outdoor pump is. dyna-tech C1245 (looks like this model is sold by several companies). Can't decode serial number for manufacture date, maybe...

    Bugs and Worms - Inground

    This is my first full season in our new inground. I ran it for 2 months last season really without issue. One major change I made to this bromine pool (don't get me started) is that i put my pump on a timer to run 12 hours a day instead of 24/7. The other change is that NY has had a very rainy...

    How long to run pump?

    Last summer was my first with my IG (see sig for details). Bromine pool with brominator. Previous owner had it run 24/7 and i kept it up last year. There's a timer in the basement and I backed it down to 2 shifts 11am-5pm and 10pm-4am. the bromine depletes in sunlight so to keep the levels as...

    Shocking Bromine Pool

    Hello all. I inherited a bromine pool about 3 weeks ago. The water has been clear and as a former above ground chlorine owner I'm learning my way through this pool as the season winds down. The water is clear and I haven't had any issues really. The previous owner uses a brominator and...

    New Inground Pool and Debris/Filter Issues

    Hello all, long time lurker back in my aboveground days. I'm not a novice, but just bought a home with an inground pool. It was built in 94, the liner is just 2 years old but the pump, filter and heater show their age. It is 24,000 gallons. I was able to meet the previous owner prior to...

    Timer for Intex Pump (w/ gfci)

    Hi everyone, been browsing for some time now. Just got the family a small 12'x36" intex easy set. It's up and not leaking and so far so good. I've heard all there is to hear about intex pumps and quality. However on a budget we decided the $85 pool and pump would be a better starting point for...
