I’m debating between purchasing the Cayman and the Quantum. I would like to know if the Cayman has the ultra fine filter panel option. Also, will the Cayman work in a 36’ pool, it’s recommended for up to 33’.

When I first installed the SWCG the math worked out to be a cheaper alternative to chlorine tablets. With the significant cost increase of the salt cells, it would almost seem the chlorine tablets would be less expensive. I'm looking at 26k gallons, and roughly $100 for 10 weeks of tablet...

After reading several comments, and being in the mechanical equipment industry, I know it's typically best to go oem. Now, my contemplation is dropping down to the T-9 or sticking with the T-15. My pool is about 26k gal, right above the max end of the T-9, so I originally went with the T-15...

Obviously, the T-15 cell replacement is ridiculous, and any consumer would look at the alternatives. However, are the Amazon, or other online site cells any good? Will they last at least a few years? Even if I had to replace the cell twice, in the next 8-10 years, it would still be a better...

I‘ve been limping along my TS QC because my Polaris 9550 investment was worthless IMO. Well, the impeller pump just broke on the TS, so the whole thing got launched across the yard and subsequently tossed into the trash can. Now I’m stuck with a like new, but Sun faded 9550 sport because it...

I've had my TigerShark QC for about 8 years. It's been rebuilt several times, filters replaced and it still works. It can pick up fine particulates but just plain sucks when it comes to control. It gets stuck on walls, or just sits in a corner forever. So, a year or two ago I bought the...

Against some of the members on this site, I went with the Polaris 9550i. What a mistake. While I like the functionality of this unit compared to my old TigerShark QC, it is horrible at cleaning. It basically blows dust around rather than picking it up. If it's larger particulates it will...

Ok, so I’ve rebuilt my Tiger Shark QC a couple times and it’s lasted 7 years. It’s done a great job and owes me nothing at this point. However, it seems to be getting dumber. It used to clean the pool very well, but now I’ve watched it clean the same 8’ strip of pool for the past hour. In...

I have a: 1. Pentair Superflo pump with 4 speeds that can be preprogrammed and energized through it’s 5vdc signal 2. Pentair MasterTemp 400HD can be energized with it’s own 24vac signal through dry contacts. 3. Aquarite salt chlorinator 4-wire comm Im liking the Polaris EOS. It directly...

I have a customer with a new pool and Hayward Omni Logic. We are bidding a job to install a whole house generator for them, 22kW. They have a huge 90A circuit supplying the pool and hot tub equipment alone being fed from the main panel. They want to keep the pump up and running, and I'm sure...

I've lost the Hayward Superpump VS due to water infiltration, I believe. I will tinker with the module later, but for now I need to get the pool filtering. So, I'm looking at a budget friendly VS pump, and the Pentair Superflo VS seems to fit the bill. Since I'm a licensed HVAC contractor...

Less than 5 years, and likely less than 5 hours run time and the bulb is dead. 250W Pentair Aqualumin III. I believe this model uses a 78mm J-type T3 bulb shape, and I've found T3 LED replacements online. I realize it may not be as bright as the Halogen, but if I could get a 150W or 250W...

I accidentally left my swcg on overnight and tested a high chlorine level this morning. Just to double check I went up to the Pool store and had it rechecked. Well, yeah it's 10PPM. So, I guess the little ones are staying out of the pool for a bit. I keep my CYA on the lower side, just enough...

This side conversation was split from HERE. jblizzle Not even if the motor were turning backwards? Mitch, have you checked the rotation of the failed replacement motor with the impeller on? Can you highlight an arrow in its direction? Something as simple as a miswired run cap can cause...

I'm in the market for a cover. It seems that the prices are all within $200. I live in a coastal mid-Atlantic region. Typical lows are in the 20-30's, extreme minimum 10-15 degrees F. My pool is a basic Grecian 18'x36' center 4'x8' step off pool. I have a lot of trees that make leaving the...

Local dealer offers "Covertech" pool covers. I've never heard of these, are any good? http://covertechind.com/?product=safe-n-secure-safety-cover

I have a T-Cell15 AquaRite SWCG, for my 24k gal inground pool. After reading the manual, I was under the impression that the unit continues to produce chlorine until the water flow stops, thus breaking the flow switch. My question is, shouldn't the cell be drawing current shown on the...

I am currently using an offline chlorinator with 3" tablets. I have 640# of salt and a Hayward AquaRite system with T-Cell 15 in the garage ready to go. Pool is in-ground ~25,000 gal. The water is still fairly cool but swimmable at 72°F. So, I'm using a solar cover to bring up the temp until...

I can't stop stirring about this problem. I need some suggestions. My inground 36x18 x 8' deep end liner pool has been installed, and as the water was filling it was noticeably out of level. When it was completely filled I measured 1" low on one deep end corner, 3/4" on the other deep corner...
