    I just dug the manual out and mine also has pump priming controls! Thanks a lot, never occurred to me that would be thing.

    Using aerator on variable speed motor that starts 100%

    When my motor comes on it works at 100% for the first 2 minutes and then slows to the programmed speed. For the daily cycle I have it run at 40%. I have my aerator adjusted so when it comes on at 100% the water stays in the pool but that means when it slows down it's a pathetic dribble. The...

    Upgrading WFE-8 from 2hp to 3hp

    Thanks James. If I stayed at 2HP could you recommend any pumps? Also are there any decent shops you in the valley that would stock them? (As you know the SRP deal I figure your here too)

    Upgrading WFE-8 from 2hp to 3hp

    As it was I thought I didn't have great flow. My hayward aquanaut 200 cleaner never did a great job on the floor of the pool let alone climb the wall. The Superflo VS is 1.5HP max? Thanks!

    Upgrading WFE-8 from 2hp to 3hp

    Thanks for response. I'm not sure how old. I was looking at the EVSS3-NS for $470 with seal kit, New impeller $50, diffuser $50, Shaft seal $20. $590 Total. I looked at full pumps but can't get closer even with SRP rebate. That's a good point I'd not considered. It's a Triton II 100. Would...

    Upgrading WFE-8 from 2hp to 3hp

    The 2hp motor attached to my Pentair WFE-8 just died. I've been wanting to replace it with a two-speed or variable and more powerful motor for a while. From looking through the parts listing for the WFE-8 it looks like if I get a new 3HP impeller and replace the diffuser with the 3HP version...

    31% Muriatic Acid gone from shelves?

    Hey, I live in the Phoenix area and used to be able to get 31% Muriatic Acid from Lowes/HD for about $13. This changed in the past few months and they seem to all be stocking 14% for $10. Has it gone from everywhere or am I just being unlucky? Thanks

    Which sand for Triton II?

    I just found the Aqua Quarts #20 at Ace's which is $12 for 50lb. More expensive than Quikrete ($7) but appears to be what the manual is asking for...

    Which sand for Triton II?

    I'm changing the sand in my Triton II and I'm struggling to find sand which meets the requirements from the owners manual: Home Depot/Lowes sells 'Quikrete' which appears outside of that range "US Sieve Size 20-40, Particle size (0.85-0.425 mm)" Leslie's only seems to sell Zeolite Any...

    Is this cap before pump causing air leak?

    Another thought - when I divert it could it be increasing the pressure enough to suck air through the o-ring on the pump cap? I gave it a good clean and it looked in ok condition.

    Is this cap before pump causing air leak?

    Hey, moved in 2 weeks ago and this is my first pool, so this is my first post! When I turn the valve in front of the pump towards the cleaner the pump sucks a lot of air. When it's split between the cleaner/skimmer I get the odd bubble in the top of the pump filter and a few out the returns...
