Definitely, thanks

Used it one season as a backup cleaner for my other one that had issues. Good condition, also includes the $70 leaf pre-filter. Pickup around Northern Va, or if interested I can provide the box size and weight so you can estimate shipping. $200

Thanks, appreciate the feedback.

Is the seal the part with the ceramic ring? Yep yep, need to keep an eye on this new one. Maybe I’ll disconnect it and bring it inside every winter so I can inspect it. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up Jim 👍

My pump was seizing up. Wasn’t expecting this when I took it apart. I *think* it’s salt, but really don’t want to taste test it. :sick: Not sure if this is normal with salt pools or indicates a leak. Either way I replaced it with a vgreen vs pump and a new go kit.

So if he was using a variable speed pump, with the higher HP motor, would it be better to a) get the bigger impeller but lower the rpm’s to some fraction of full rpm, or b) use his current impeller and use the pump at 100% some of the day then a lower rpm rest of the day? When I say better I...

So by tripling the hp, you’re able to run it at a fraction of the rpm’s?

Thanks mark. My motor was a uct1072 .75hp, 3400rpm, 115v/8amp attached to a Hayward Superpump. Just today I put a new vgreen 1.65 vs motor on the “wet side” with the .75hp rated impeller. My understanding is that with this impeller I’m getting similar gpm as my .75hp motor. Is that correct? If...

Thanks for feedback Jim, glad there’s nothing too complicated about this. So don’t switch the impeller?

I know that sounds like a huge step up, but the vgreen .85 motors are hard to find and are pretty much the same price as 1.65hp motors. Below are the reference numbers. My current motor is uct1072. .75hp, 3400rpm, 115v/8amp. Service factor 1. Questions; Basically, since I don’t need 1.65hp can...

James, I’m in a similar situation as the OP but my Hayward pump is up rated .75hp (uct1072). Guessing if I go with 1.65hp I would never want it to be at 100% as that may be way too much throughput for my system. May even cause a leak if there’s a weak part of the system. Basic math, I would...

done!

***SOLD*** Gently used. Tested it and works with my Active 20. The additional buttons on the control panel may or may not work with your robot. Not all robots support all features on the controller. If you're not sure if it works with your specific robot please check with Maytronics. $300 new...

I use an electric heating element to get my coals going. 10 minutes tops. If I'm smoking, I take it out after 10 minutes then hit them with a small, low velocity leaf blower for maybe 15 seconds. Thats enough to get me to 300-ish without going over. IF my goal is to get things to max temp asap...

For those of us in the dark, what happens if bleach comes into contact with MA

Starting using the inkbird this weekend. So far so good. I like the idea of one of those moisture absorbing packets. Seems inevitable moisture will find its way into the electronics.

To stop my baskets from floating up (when my pump turns off some water feeds back to the pool), thanks to this thread the very cost effective solution of using a rock works!

That inkbird might be a good option. I like the floating temp probe. Need to look closer at the app to see if it charts temp data over time. It says it stores the data, just not sure if it provides the info in a chart or something.

Thought it would be nice to be able to see a graph or chart of my pools temp over time, readable with an app and ideally via wifi. There’s some Bluetooth ones but you have to go within a few feet to read them. Thanks!

I’m in northern Va and every year drain the pool about 15” and every year it’s full at opening.

What did you do last fall so it opened so clear?

Yep, that's my posting. Let me know Greg if your interested. I'm not sure to what degree the Active 20 and the Dolphin 300 are the same.

Thanks, I'll reach out to him/her
