I have a Hayward Tigershark QC that was purchased in 2016. I think it finally crapped out on me. It will power on for about 5 seconds then shut off. I can push the button under the switch on the power supply and power will come back on but the cleaner cord has to be unplugged and it often takes...

I replaced my pentair single speed pump with a two speed ecopump. I would recommend a two speed. I am saving money on my utility bill.

I am looking at the ecopump ep-6. I did the math and my pentair single speed 1.5hp cost 3.67 a day running 24/7. The ecopump would cost .75¢ a day. Now I didn't pull the amps off the pentair while it's running. This is based on the label. So, it will take a couple of years to recoup the cost...

I purchased a Hayward tigershark. One of the best purchases for my pool I have made so far. Plug it up and let it go. I am in same boat as you. My single speed is an energy hog.I will be purchasing the Pentair VS 342001. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Dang, 12 bucks a month. I run mine 14 hours a day and I bet it cost me around 45.00 a month. I can't wait til mine craps out. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I have a single speed Pentair 1.5 hp. I hope it craps out so I can get either the Pentair VS Superflo for around 650.00 or the ecopump Ep 6 for around 850.00. I have narrowed down to those two. Just remember, your SWG can't be powered on when there is no flow. There is a chance it might...

I purchased a deluxe heavy weight safety pool cover. It's solid and came with a sump pump. I bought it from pool warehouse.com. It was 1015.00. When I took it off this season, I literally put my tigershark vacuum in and that's it. The pool looked like it did when I covered it. I have a buddy...

I went to Sam's and bought a deck box for our pool stuff. I store it in there after I clean the filters and let them dry for a bit. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

This is my first season with the Hayward tigershark QC. So far it has performed to my expectations. It's easy. Plug it up and put it in. Take it out. Clean filters and it's ready for next time. If your OCD, don't watch it cause it will drive you crazy..?. One minute it's in the deep end...

Well, let's see. The last time I tested the water my results were: FC 7, CC 0, CYA 70, TA 90, PH 7.8. I do test these things. Just needed some refill on cya and thought I'd get R-0871 while I'm at it. I have been testing cya more than normal because last year and earlier this year I've had...

Did more than normal cya testing the last couple of years due to all the gulleywashers we seemed to get everytime I turn around. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Nevermind, I guess the website isn't mobile friendly. I found what I needed. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Can I buy refills of just what I need or do have to get the complete refill kit. Normally I only test chlorine and cya. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

It does sound strange that you can hear it when the pump is that far away from the house. Mine is right next to the house. I do not have a basement. Maybe since your underground, vibrations are more noticeable?? The rubber mat helped. I did not bolt mine down but probably would have if the...

I put a rubber welcome mat under my pump to help with that problem. Google pool pump vibration and you might find something better that would work. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I will be replacing my single speed with vs pump in the future. Not sure about your set up as far as timers go, but I learned last week through the forum and research that you have to make sure your SWG is not powered on when the vs pump isn't running. Possibility of it exploding if it's...

Did some looking and this is what the Intellichlor installation and user guide says on page iii....Warning: CHLORINE GAS BUILD UP CAN OCCUR WITH IMPROPER WIRING: to reduce the risk of personal injury the iecg power center must be installed on and wired to the load side of the time clock...

Thanks for the reply. I understand how the flow switch works, I just wasn't sure if there would be any damage to the unit if it's got power 24/7 but only getting flow for a set period of time each day. Thanks again. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I'll research the 2 speed ones Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

No specific reason. I have seen the vs for 6-650. Figure a season, season and a half it would pay for itself. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I'm thinking about replacing my 1.5 hp Pentair Superflo single speed with a VS Pump. Either the Intelliflo or Superflow VS. My question is, what's the best way to do this so the SWG only comes on when the pump does? I've researched this but not sure what the best, easiest way would be. I have...

This is my first summer to have a pool and its a saltwater. Once I got the water balanced, there was not much to do but vacuum and brush. I have Intellichlor IC40. Wished I would have done a little research and bought and installed it myself. Would have saved some bucks. I've only had to add...

No more springtails. They must have moved on. It came another storm and gulley washer last week and NONE! woo hoo! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Thanks! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I purchased the test kit promoted by this site....TF-100. I assumed someone here is the one that sells it. (Smart marketing) I test probably too much but that's OK. I have compared my results with the PS just for giggles and they are always different, and I trust my testing over their...

They were gone in about 18 hours after brushing sides a few times. Hope they don't come back. They get fewer and go away quicker each time. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I've had my pool for a couple of months now. The last three times a little storm has rolled through, I have found freakin springtails in the pool. I am about 50 yards from a pond and have tall grass bordering my property on one side. I have sprayed the grass around the pool with an...

Received the TF-100 kit and tested the water this morning. 26k vinyl IG salt with IC40 SWG. 1.5 Superflo pump. I turn pump off at night and run during day with SWG at 60%. Pool was built this year and completed about month and a half ago. Water has always been crystal clear. PS told me to...
