I have had a Tiger Shark on its 5th season now and totally trouble free. I keep the pool open year round so it gets consistent use. When storing out of the pool, I gently lay it on top of a rectangular patio stone that is just a little smaller than the base of the machine, so the rollers never...

Wow thank you for providing those calculations! Not sure how you were able to figure all of that out but it is telling and like you said not as much gain as I had anticipated.

Mostly I want better skimming and pull from main drain too. The pool was plumbed using several street elbows and more 90s than were really needed and I've felt that restricted the flow. Additionally I thought with the new VS pump that my flow might be better (more efficient) at low rpms by...

My old single speed pump died and I'm planning to replace it. I think I've settled on the Pentair 1.5 HP Superflow the VS (had a 1.5 hp Superpump before). I decided to rip out all of the 1.5" plumbing on my pool pad even though I'm not changing any other equipment at this time. My plan is to...

For comparison I was quoted installed price of 1k for a 1.5 Pentair SuperFlo single speed (they didn't want to use the variable speed). I got a second quote for 2k installed for a 3 hp Pentair Intelliflo (I asked for the 1.5 SuperFlo vs). What I'm finding is places like to install whatever...

I've had the pool skim installed for at least five years or more. I checked the link and I noticed it has gone way up in price. I want to say I paid around $50-$60 and it's double that now. There's really not much to it at all. However I can tell you it actually works and pulls a lot more than...

It's the 50a breaker that trips during heavy rain storms. However the gfi outlet has tripped before, but that only happens maybe 1-3 times per year. The line going to the sunroom lights goes through a gfi only after the sunroom lights, before ultimately feeding the shed electricity. I like...

I was a bit concerned after reading your reply so I've attached a simplified diagram of my electrical to explain my setup better. The top of the diagram shows a sub panel (in my house) off my main house panel. I've only shown the 50 amp gfi (the one that tends to trip during heavy...

Thanks for your suggestions. My pressure was always consistent around 12 psi. I noticed the flow from the returns started weakening (not a lot) beginning maybe 5 years ago. I have no idea why except that I also noticed around that time that my cleaner line (for the old Polaris I quit using at...

I have shut off main drain and it helps a little, but still feel it's not strong enough. I usually run MD/Skimmer at about 10/90 mix. I was looking at Pentair SuperFlo vs 1.5 hp. It seems to have decent reviews and thought it might be strong enough. I am located in Atlanta and keep pool open...

My 15 year old Hayward 1.5 HP single-speed Superpump's impeller just broke. Even though the motor is still working I would like to replace it with a more efficient and effective pump with at least 2 speeds. My pool is 65 years old but was fully renovated 15 years ago with new...

I wanted to thank you both for your input. I ended up buying the Tiger Shark QC. The biggest factor in buying the TS over the Dolphins had to do with warranty/support. As I researched the warranty on Dolphins it looked like it would be covered if I bought at Epic, but it would only be covered...

I was hoping I could get some opinions from the members here on which robotic cleaner to buy -- Hayward TigerShark QC or Watertech Corp's Blue Diamond. Have also considered some Dolphin models, but not sure which one or how reliable they are). I can buy the Blue Diamond new from manufacturer...
