I have 3 Pentair 5G color LED lights, and 4 Pentair Magicstream Deckjets. They all run fine off one 300 watt intermatic transformer (120v AC to 12V DC) I currently have them individually switched AFTER the transformer, and it works just fine. I get individual control of each light and jet...

ok, thats what i was wanting to know. my old pump is junk, a $150 cheap off brand from china. no published data for it. actual efficiency compared to intelliflo is 4.67 (505/108 = 4.67) it being half the efficiency of a superflo isnt unthinkable. so i guess i will go intelliflo for both...

I recently bought a pentair intelliflo pump to run my water features i just added. I compared my old skimmer pump power usage with the new Intelliflo power usage. TEST CONDITIONS i used a T and a Valve i had already plumbed into the system to divert the flow of the old pump into a 5 gallon...

I got out my Zircon Electronic Metal Locator for finding rebar, and I have rebar everywhere in the pool shell. I started grinding out the cracks. they are all hairline cracks, and disappear completely after 1/2 to 1 inch in The large crack had been previously repaired with epoxy or similar...

UPDATE the backside of the crack isnt wide, more of a hairline the front side looked wide because it had been V-cut and epoxy filled before, and the fix failed backside 20160407_162609_zpscrcgxagj.jpg Photo by betahousepics | Photobucket 20160405_193548_zpsupnku534.jpg Photo by betahousepics |...

Just to clarify, for valves that will NOT be turned, used to just restrict/even out/adjust flow to multiple skimmers and deck jets/water features, ball valves seem to be the best to me. I dont have to worry about it failing and not turning because i wont turn it. any valve that will be turned...

Im installing all new plumbing on my pool with multiple skimmers and water features, and I want to make sure I get the right valves for trouble free operation. Does anyone have experience with this and recommendations? My initial thoughts: 1. Cheap Home depot PVC ball valves - use them to...

valves? i should be ok, its surrounded by house/walls, and doesnt get sunlight. PVC valves still only last so long I realize. i gave plenty of room in the piping to allow for replumbing of valves in the future as needed. Ill probably go with the union type removable valves next time. I...

ok, thanks i read the articles. so you would recommend a small 2-speed pump? which 2 speed pump would you recommend? thanks

Jason, thanks. Could you explain the need for a 2 speed pump? low speed will be the speed needed to circulate the water in 12hrs min for a complete change over, or about 1hp to 1.5hp. however, 1hp or 1.5hp is already enough power for suction to clean, etc. if i put more power than 1.5hp to...
