This weekend I am installing a new CircuPool RJ45. I have read through the documentation, and I believe I have a solid plan. Here is a picture of my setup: The documentation shows the flow switch before and after the cell, the requirement being 12" run prior to the switch. So I think this is...

As documented here, my main pump died, so I replaced it with a dual-speed. The Polaris 380 seemed to be working ok with the main pump on low speed, so I left it that way for the past few days. I checked it this morning, and the pool was extra dirty (we have tons of trees, and it's that time of...

I discovered my pump was not running (as well as timer) and found the circuit had tripped. When I flipped the breaker back and manually turned on the timer, the circuit immediately tripped. I removed the pump motor cover and disconnected the power leads, reset the breaker, manually turned on the...

Here are my numbers: FC 6 CC 0 CYA 40-50 TA 110 CH 200 pH 7.5 Vinyl pool, tests done with TF-50 test kit, Hasa Liquidator, sand filter. I have a feeling my sin is allowing the Luiquidator to empty and NOT slamming. Wife has been complaining about cloudiness quite a bit of the summer, but...

This winter, I decided to not close my pool. Everything was going swimmingly until I heard the sounds of air coming out the pool returns last Thursday. I went out to look, and sure enough, water was gushing out the side of my pool heater. Boo! Luckily, we had a warm front this weekend. I...
