Yes, however if I split the flow they are additive. I get free electricity from 8pm until 5am. And I have a large solar array. So I run 100% at night when the power is free, then I go on low speed during the solar day when I am making my own power.

I have an older Raypoalk heater... sort of like This but green and a little more primitive I don't see where the passages are small in this Heat pump. I can see a 2" PVC coil inside the unit and it appears to have penetrations at each end that accommodate what is likely just a titanium tube...

I bought a heat pump. This one https://s3.amazonaws.com/AWSProd/sites/raypakcom/documents/241909.pdf The system has 2 pumps. A main pump that feeds the filter then a propane spa heater. The second pump can feed either or both a waterfall or just a big jet. I need to plumb in this heat...

have you resolved your issue? I have been considering a new pool cleaner. I see you are in fort worth. we could possibly work something out on my old cleaner. Its a pressure cleaner that is about 4 years old. Has new bag and has been repaired a few times. email me at...

ohh yea.. haha sorry... - .5 And FYI I updated my signature. I have a SWG now. - - - Updated - - - correct. Ok, I will see about raising it some then.

Hey everyone... I took some readings. CH 90 total Alkalinity 80 PH 7.5 CYA 50 Temp 83 When I use the whiz wheel in my kit, it shows me at a -5 saturation index. I'm trying to decide what to adjust... I am going to bump up my PH a little to 7.7 - 7.8... my ch is low according to the book...

Thank you for all the replies guys! The value I gave was from a test at leslies... My kit has a test for CYA which I intend to do soon.

My CYA was at 35, I have added about 4 lbs but have not measured the change so far. Chlorine test done with the leslies test kit

great advice guys. I did the diagnostics on the easytouch and it said 4600 PPM, no faults. At the time of my OP the green light on the unit was flashing (indicating high salt) however when I turned it on this morning and did the diagnostics, the light is no longer flashing. I tried to...

Jim, The cell is reading 4600 PPM.... the pool store says 3200. The cell wont kick on (presumably because of the high salt reading) Furthermore, holding the "more" button I get a reading of 20%... a single green dot for remaining life on the cell. Even when it was new it could just barley...

Hi everyone. I need to replace my salt cell as it seems to have bit it after only 2 seasons. Can the IC60 cell be dropped into place of the IC40? will it need to be re plumbed? will the power supply be sufficient? Thanks

The easy touch system is basically just a bunch of relays. There is an easy touch model number with the swg power supply built into it w which is what I installed. If you don't have that version, you will end up connecting power cables to the swg power supply to one of the relays. Typically...

Hi everyone, We just finished having eco finish installed. Here is a time lapse of the work which took 3 days to complete with a 4th day of filling. The color is Mediterranean Blue. The initial fill had a green tint from th tap water which quickly disappeared once I fired up the pumps...

"hrm, is that dark thing the dot, or the reflection of my head!?"
