I was wondering what time of the day everybody run their pump. What is better ? During the day or during night ? thanks

Re: Help, Polaris 480 Pro Moves when Booster Pump isnt on. H That is normal. I actually added a ball valve between the booster and return to stop water flow to the cleaner.

In my other post I mentioned that I talked to couple of PB's here and they said it is normal at low speeds. Mine primes all the way and then goes down to the top of the basket level. No air in the returns and runs like that all day. I programmed it to ramp up to 2000 rpm for 5 min every 4 hrs...

Use flex pipe with clamps.

Re: New Intelliflo VS pump. ea75 As they say think twice cut once. I would recommend " Think, Think & Think some more" then cut. You are gonna love the pump.

Re: New Intelliflo VS pump. I would use the primer no matter what. Not only it helps softening the pvc, it will also help removing any dirt on the pipe.

Thanks Voodoo_Pool !! :goodjob: :idea:

Working on my pool for last 2 week. Just when things started looking really good, winds/Rain messed it up again. :grrrr: :grrrr: Ran my Polaris 280 for vacuuming, filter in polaris got plugged. I do not know How old the unit is (came with the house 1-1/2 yrs ago). Tried to unscrew it from the...

Re: New Intelliflo VS pump. I bought standard unions from Home Depot.

Most calculations do not consider steps and/or other feature that might reduce the gallons. You may be correct around 16000 - 18000 gallons

I put one after pump and before filter. Did not want the filtered water go to waste. :-). My filter has a drain though.

I put one to drain water from the pool after rain or partial drain. I attached a garden hose and drain the water in the clean-out.

I have talked to few of the pool builder here. They all said that air pockets in variable speed pumps at low speeds is normal. Mine goes down to the top of the strainer basket and stays there. I can leave the filter air purge valve open. No air or water comes out. Enough flow in the skimmer and...

This is the weired part Mark. Basket is half full at the end of the day. No air in the return jets. Filter bleeds solid stream of water.

@phalcon51 Any luck with air ? My Intelliflo does the same thing at low speeds. Water level goes down to basket top level. No air in the returns though.

Congratulations on the buy. You will love the pump. I took susa'a advice above and got a 1/8" thick neoprene sheet and set the pump on top of it. It is so quiet, I could hear my DVR's hard drive Y'day night but not the pump. :-)

Thanks susa. Will give it a shot today.

I am so happy with the pump. Water has never been so clear. I run it 15 hrs at 1000 rpm (137 watts). About $0.61 per day. At that low GPM filter work much better (Almost 0 psi at filter). Great pump.

No idea @armstrr. Still learning. But loving the power usage so far.

Ok. I am running my 8 speed Intelliflow now. Here are my test results RPM, Watts, Filter PSI, Vacuum (in of Hg), Total Head 2600, 1160, 15, 8, 43.706 2400, 943, 13, 7, 37.954 2200, 735, 10.5...

I finished installing Intelliflo VS (8 speed) couple of days ago. I am experiencing the same issue with air bubbles. They are really tiny bubbles and accumulate over time in the lid. Lid has ribs on it and they get trapped. I run my pump at 1000 rpm (275 watts) and every hr ramp it up to 2200...

Played with it little more. I am Loving it.

@Chem Geek Thanks.

Intelliflo Vs (NEW) came in Y'day. Installed it today. Took me all day. (Re plumbed the suction Side). Turned it on at 1500 rpm. Drawing 290 watts. Filter pressure reading 1 psi. Three eye balls in pool have enough water coming thru them. Will test for leaks and play with it tomorrow. Draws...

I thought his cleaner did have a booster pump.

Hi Chem Geek, Would this work on Polaris 280 also ? I have Intelliflo Vs.

Thanks Mark.

No name on the pump but motor is 1 hp. Can't tell if both are fully open or not. Right now the way 3 way Jendy is plumbed is 2" from spa and 1.5" from skimmer and 2" going to pump. Main drain is plumbed into 2" to pump with a 2x2x1.5 tee. I can not control flow between skimmer/main drain. Main...
