    Sta Rite Max-E-Pro rebuild or replace with Variable Speed Pump

    You really need to give the particulars about your pool. Size, filter, sanitizer, etc. Unless you have a giant pool you can get a cheaper pump. Jacuzzi VSP or BLACK+DECKER VSP has some good feedback on TFP.

    Automation - what to do...

    Thank you. I so rarely change my Jandy valve settings. Are they used in the pool spa combo? (which I don't understand the working of)

    Automation - what to do...

    What do you hope to accomplish? What is a JVA? I bought a Jacuzzi pump for our 37500-gallon pool, which is working great. I set the schedule at the pump. It has 8 schedules you can set. There are two smaller and cheaper ones that should run your pool just fine.

    Can this pump be used?

    Probably can be used. https://www.amazon.com/whirlpool-tub-pump/s?k=whirlpool+tub+pump

    Stenner pump S3001AA101NG1

    Does it have a sunset timer for zip codes? I have some timers that adjust to turn off at sunset automatically. I am looking for options to control the outside lights.

    I could not tell how many events your timer is capable of. I will probably use one of these BN-LINK Short Period

    Dosing Pump for Aquarium Lab Analytical or BRS 2 Part Doser are two small pumps that might work for you. I have no experience with either one. The BRS 2 Part Doser seems to be quite popular with the aquarium crowd. I found out about that in a recent thread here. What WiFi plug do you plan to use?

    Stenner pump S3001AA101NG1

    I forgot a very important point. The 4-inch OD tube that the rollers ride on, is $90 to replace. At least the model we have. The RolaChem is $8 and I replace it once a year. If you are only adding 30 oz a day that is 887 mL, there are 1440 minutes in a day, the BRS 2 part puts out 1.1 mL per...

    37500 gal in deep south Texas. Lots of sun and wind from the south east. I was talking about the worst case during the winter when I have a really high swimmer load. Right now I think we are at a gallon a day.

    Flexible hose

    I looked around quite a bit. I did not find a hose that is schedule 40. I guess you could replace that hose once a year since it lasted two seasons this time.

    Stenner pump S3001AA101NG1

    I think it would work that way. Stenner has a pretty good support section, you should be able to find the manual. I saw a thread with this the other day. BRS 2 Part Doser is cheap and would work with your wifi timer. I don't know how much chlorine your friend needs to feed. We are using just...

    Stenner pump S3001AA101NG1

    Way overkill. I have a couple of used ones and the programming seems complicated. I have done programming but reading the manual seemed that way. I like the RolaChem, just turn the dial and change the dose.

    Looking for re-plumb advice

    It would be close but you could get a coupler in there and a new union, I would do that first and then figure out the plumbing from the filter to the chlorinator. You could get a little more space by using 45s in the verticle from the filter.

    DIY plumbing and pump project

    HDPE! I am not very knowledgeable about pool building. I have never heard of HDPE piping. It seems like it would be hard to join. The Black+Decker pumps are relatively inexpensive and have good reviews on Amazon.
