so just in case... what is my next best option to control a VS pump via WiFi within this price point.

Yup just did exactly that, I asked them to hold off on shipping until I call them in the morning. Wish I saw this posted in the bottom before ordering. I happen to be coming down there tomorrow and will only be about an hour from the store. 3 year manufacturer warranty when picked up in our...

Bought this one here https://www.poolsupply4less.com/Pentair-011075-p/011075.htm?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_qexBhCoARIsAFgBlev1yVUClaKNk-_8rTcAiL-POu0xZzvQTQEu-0zNWHC5QoE36Jer5xkaAk-lEALw_wcB

so I just read through this line here. I have friends and family that are general contractor. I wouldn't have a problem with having them write me a workorder. *Note: Qualified Installer - Defined as a licensed professional who charges a fee for his services, and possesses a business license...

WTH this I did not know. Is this a pentair thing? makes me want to cancel my order. nearly 1800 for a pump with only 60 day warranty might not work

Just ordered the 3hp model can't wait to get it and start shaving off my energy bill some more.

Thanks Jim, I will buy what's most efficient based on everyone's experience. Before this I was just combing through some threads about 1.5" plumbing, many recommend that at the pad, I can convert the 1.5" plumbling to 2" and leaving the underground plumbing the way it is. I think this is what...

My plumbing is only 1.5" and my current pump is 1.5hp. With the smaller diameter plumbing, would I benefit from the 3hp once reduced from 2 to 1.5?

I have a perfectly working Hayward VSP pump. However, what lacks is my ability to control it remotely. This is at my AirBNB and my pump is required to run at minimum speed to trigger the heater 24/7. The only reason I'm considering the Intelliflo3 is the Wifi capability w/o the need of an...

get the 50mm that's roughly 2 inches that should get the probe pass the opening. As for power, the heater is a 110v, I don't remember the sonoff is 12v or USB but whatever it was I know i just tapped into the existing AC power inside the heater. no additional power needs to brought there if...

I was going to say, this is our first pool and I've only experienced with DE filter but the thing I hate most is such a mess it makes when backwashing. At least using Sand I can just dump it onto the lawn or dirt area. Sand appearing to be the cheapest of the bunch and cheap to replace so I do...

My current filter is a 48 sq ft DE, if I went with a Cartridge filter, something like a Pentair 420 should do the trick right? As for Sand Filter, the second to the largest Hayward is a 27". Cost is more than half of a DE filter. Seems like many of you like the sand filters. I don't mind...

I've been doing a little reading and it seems DE filters out perform a catridge filter. As they say, don't believe everything you read on the internet. For about $200 I can replace the valve, I'm wondering if it's worth spending the $1500 or so to replace the entire filter. Any expert here...

Yes it appears to be. So replace it with a Catridge filter then?

My Pentair DE filter have the plunger type backwash valve. I replaced the entire plunger and o ring but for some reason I get little leaks coming out of it. I'm just going to replace the entire valve assemble and was wondering if there is a "better" option out there.

you got me thinking now... I have an existing output that used to be for the pool cleaner. This is closer to the skimmer. Perhaps putting an elbow to this and plumbing it to the pool return can add a little flow that pushes the debris towards the skimmer.

no worries Jim, not trying to have you convince me otherwise, you already had. Weir doors and everything works fine. I might just need to run my pump at higher speed for longer periods. At the moment, I run my pump at full speed for 3 hours a day the remaining 4 hours the pump are at the minimum...

This pool happens to be at my Airbnb, there are areas that always collect debris and the steps area are always proned to algae. If you noticed my deep end is really dirty only after a few days of vacuuming and also on the floor to the left of the pool where the jets are positioned. Was hoping...

I got only 2 returns in my IG pool. I feel like the circulation can use some improvements. I see things like venturi jets and circulator rotating jets etc. Curious on if it's going to improve circulation. Is there one that you'd recommend?

I only have two returns in this pool plugging it up will probably tell me if the leak is coming from inside the pipe which is a great idea. Permanently capping it off if not an option in this case unfortunately. I'm going to be back there this weekend so I should be able to do some more...

At my Airbnb, I noticed that the concrete is wet at the return jets. When I reviewed the camera feeds, I noticed the kids were messing around with the jets and shoving pool noodles and stuff to the jets. I had someone inspected the jet and it all seems to be in place and no signs of damage. Is...

I currently have an older Hayward SP2302VSP, seems it cannot be adding to a wireless controller. Thinking about replacing it to something I can remotely controll the speed or if anything at least being able to turn it on and off remote. Any suggestions on what's out there that won't break the...

We have short term rental with a pool and have guests asking about having it heated during the fall/winter time. I'm in Northern CA and average temp between Oct-December is mids to low 60's. Our gas rate is about $2/therm. My heater is a raypak 266k BTU heater pool is 16x32 deep end is about 8...

Don't be an idiot like me and buy an RJ11 wire and cut it before looking. It's an RJ9 connector with 4 pins. I bought RJ9 connectors and attempted to do my own crimping but for some reason the crappy connectors on amazon refuse to make contact. I ended up order a 10ft RJ9 cable, cut it in half...

Cool I'll just keep it the way it is then. I disconnected the internal antenna and connected a pigtail SMA connector so I can use an old Wi-Fi paddle antenna the metal case there was no way my Wi-Fi would have penetrated that metal enclosure get full bars on the sonoff
