    Running Solar Heaters with a cover on

    Thanks guys. Sounds like I need to as one of you said, try to find middle ground. When my pool pump is on high (two speed) I get a lot of surface movement (as mentioned the PB said by design). Its great without the pool cover as surface debris goes right in skimmer. With the addition of this new...

    Running Solar Heaters with a cover on

    So here's my question. If I run my pump on high for the solar water heater while the solar cover is on, it is going to ball the cover up in the middle of the pool. Some folks have said they point their returns down to avoid this which it may, but doesn't that then defeat one of the purposes of...

    Hayward Salt and Swim 3C

    see the following link. Looks like I need that combo timer if I want to be able to turn pump OFF. I could however still try to do the other intermatic switch for the SWG. I'm debating buying the double mech switch since my pump also runs my water features. Intermatic Pool Timer Dual Speed Pump...

    Hayward Salt and Swim 3C

    From what I'm reading online, I don't think the above switch will turn off. It appears I need this: Amazon.com : Intermatic T10604R Pool/Spa Control Center T106M and T104M : Electrical Timers : Patio, Lawn Garden

    Hayward Salt and Swim 3C

    Wait, maybe I am not understanding you. My switch already has the trippers (Green on tripper and gold off tripper) When the switch is in off position, it's on low and when it's in "on" it's on high. Are you saying there is another tripper that turns the whole thing (both legs) off? - - -...

    Hayward Salt and Swim 3C

    The way my pump is connected to the current Timer, there is no way to turn off the pump. The timer simply turns it from low to high and back again. I can definitely use the timer you linked to plug my SWG into although I'm not sure if it will pick up where it "left off" settings wise with the...

    Hayward Salt and Swim 3C

    T106R is the intermatic timer model. The salt and swim is not connected to the pump timer nor the switch. There is a separate 110V outlet which the salt and swim is connected to.

    Hayward Salt and Swim 3C

    Hi, I'll see about getting a picture of the pad. I have a Century 3.5 HP Dual speed pump connected to an intermatic timer which switches it from low to high as mentioned. There is a manual switch mounted below the intermatic timer box which can turn the pump off and on completely for service...

    Hayward Salt and Swim 3C

    Thanks, My pump is a two speed and runs on low 22 hours a day and kicks up to high for 2 hours per day to run the pool cleaner. PB said their pump doesn't use much power on low and sure enough my bill increase was really small so thats how it's been running the last 6 months. I can turn off...
