Here is the part about cracks....

Plaster was done on about 20 days ago. Our pb states that cracks are normal and should get better overtime. I doubt that will ever happen. We got quartzscapes and they are asking us to sign the warranty paperwork that states that it does not cover cracks. I dont want to sign it. What is...

I opted to install my equipment pad along my fence about 20' away. The PB normally attaches the breaker box for the pool equipment next the the pad. They secure the breaker box by digging in some steel rails to the ground to make a frame. I don't like really like that ideal, it seems so...

I hope i didnt come off as rude as it was not my intention. Thank you for the information. For the shutoff valve on each line, what type of valve would you suggest?

Normally the skimmer and drains will connect to a 3 way diverter valve. I can use this as a shutoff valve to do any maintenance on the oump or filter. Are you suggesting i get actual shutoff valves in addition to the 1 diverter vavle? Like the gate valve style. I do know that ball valves have a...

I think it becuase water would keep coming out because its lower than my waterline.

Thank you ajw22, but can i ask why i would need to do that? I know my pb will ask me.

Is the filter pump head affected if the equipment pad is about 15" lower than the pool? My pool's elevation has to match my houses elevation since we are extending the deck. Currently they made the pad at the same height of the pool, but i want the framing to be flush with the ground. Will...

Guinness, I do plan on getting a heater, but I doubt the Intelliflo3 will be in stock anyways. I may end up going the intelliconnect if the pump is indeed out of stock. I'm not looking for automation so much as the ability to program the pump using an app. What is a fireman's switch?

I'm going to try to get my PB to get the intelliflo3 but I already image that they are going to give the runaround based on availability. Thanks for that video and help.

Could still run a polaris if I only get a dedicated suction line or just in-line cleaners/vacuums? I will make sure my PB installs a dedicated suction line with a jandy valve and a spring-loaded closure door. Thank you everyone.

I think everone makes a good point. So I'm going to go ahead and get the polaris with booster pump and look to also buying a dolphin or in line cleaner. I though all in line cleaners or vacuums just pluged into the skimmer suction line. I didnt know they need a dedicated suction port to work...

Allen, Having a intelliconnect, If you ever lost internet and had did not have access to the internet. Could you still turn your pump on (to drain) your pool manually and without the intelliconnect app?

moved and am in the process of building a new pool. I used a maytronics dolphin s300i for 3 to 4 years. It started to have issues after 2 years. I fixed it by opening the motor box and replacing the bearings. It worked but never really ran at 100 percent. I am considering going with the TR28P...

Jim, Thanks. That look was larger than a 60sq ft DE. I see what you mean regarding no having a multiport valve.

Wow!! Allen. I feel like I have been goon too long. So much great info and people. Thank you.

I have always used liquid chloring 90 percent of the time and tablets the other 10 percent. I may get a CMP powerclean if that have resolved the issue with vsp.

I think the intelliconnect will only work for a one speed pump, but in the same video the person states that it will also work for an intelliflo. I may have to contact pentair. Pentair IntelliConnect - Bing video

Allen, No SWG. We are not getting a spa, but are getting a heater.

Jim, Brother thank you so much. I will look into the IntelliFlo3 if I end up with a booster pump. I might just stick with the dolphin that I use to have but it always had issues the warranty ended. I have to change the bearing out 2x, but it was never 100%.

Jim, I read your rent house post on cartridge filters and how you like them. Would you posting a picture of your setup? Is the ccp-520 larger than a 60sqft de filter? Aqua, great point! it would be good to have an extra set on hand.

Hi duraleigh, This is for a new pool build coming soon, so I do not have any results. I was just hoping for some advice so that I can pick the appropriate filter (de or cartridge).

Thank you both for your responses. I have to admit that I am not familiar with a vsp since I have never had one. So, I will ensure there is no timer on the intelliflo pump. How about my booster pump? Can I tie that into the intelliflo controls somehow? ajw22, what exactly does upgrading your...

I moved and am in the process of building a new pool. We have a home salt water softener system installed. I change the sediment filter out monthly. The water in the filters housing look like cherry Kool-Aid when I change it. I worry If I get a 60sq ft cartridge pool filter that this will also...
