Has anyone tried running DE filter behind a cartridge filter? Head pressure permitting.

I had to replace my IC 40 and this one has a plastic grate or screen that fits inside the intake or exhaust of the unit. The old one did not have this. I assume it is to protect the flow sensor but for the life of me I can't find anything on this part or which end to install it. Anybody have an...

I currently have a 16k salt pool with a intelliflo VS 3050 that is 2.5 years in service. Apparently it has had a very slow seal leak and as salt will do, created excessive internal corrosion. When the leak became evident I opened the pump to find a separated impeller a broken retaining bolt and...

Hello all, I am embarking on a pool build in our home in Mexico. That said, I am trying to educate myself on infinity edge pools. Does anyone have a basic plumbing schematic with pipe diameters and volume requirements? This pool will be about 15,000 gals with approximately 30 feet of negative...

I have an intellifo 4 x 160 and a pool pilot digital SWG. Will the Easy Touch comunicate with the pool pilot or do I just set it to come on with all the pump cycles.

I tested the water for the first time today and it revealed the following numbers FC 1.5 CC .5 TC 2 ph 7.3 TA 150 CH 800 CYA 120 temp is 72 With what little I know this is telling me to do a water change. Should I do 2 draw downs of say 25% to 30% each or would a 50% be...

Hello all I am new to the forum and would like to say hello and ask for some input on which SWG to opt for. I am torn between the Pool Pilot digital and the Aqua Rite. I am rebuilding a system with an intelliflo, and a Pentair quad 80. Pool is a 30,000 gals, pebble tec with a water feature and...
