    Chlorinator and VS Pump

    Just installed a variable speed pump. Trying to dial in speeds. My RG60G is throwing a water alarm unless I'm running at 45%. Seems awfully fast and not what others are able to run at. Was hoping I could run it slower. Reading some other threads, it sounded like salt level could be a factor...

    Variable Speed Pumps - Run Times

    Just purchased a Hayward TriStar VS Pump and will be installing this weekend. I need to run high speed for a period of time for my Polaris cleaner. I also have a chlorinator. Everything is automated with time clocks. Curious how others run their pumps, assuming you're switching between high...

    SWG getting airlocked

    This isn't an every day thing, and has only happened twice that I know of. I noticed once that my pump was running but I had little to no flow in the pool. When I looked at the pump, I noticed that the SWG had a big slug of air inside (casing is clear). I turned off the pump, turned it back...

    Does SWG require full-time power

    Preparing to install my first SWG. Going with a CircuPool model. Installation instructions are limited in my opinion. From what I can tell, I want to hook up the SWG to the same circuit as my primary pump. This is through a Hayward OnCommand if that matters. Can I just "piggy back" off the...
