Hi guys, I have a 5yr old pentair superflo 342001 that the drive failed the 1st time after 4yrs amd the replacement failed 1.5 years after. A replacement drive is over $600 amd I am thinking about going back to a regular non variable speed pump, this is way to expansive to have to throw another...

Went ahead and created a custom schedule to run in the afternoon for about 4 hours. Thank you

I live in Las Vegas and have never had a variable speed pump here in the winter, i have a Pentair VSP with SWCG that I installed last summer, best decision I ever made. I need some advise as to what to set the timer to run as well as times, it is still set to run on the Summer presets but seems...

Hey Jim So the pump wont need to run unless it get to freezing temps? in Vegas it seldom gets that cold, at what temp do I stop running the pump?

Ok guys so I converted to a Sand Filter and SWCG beginning of summer, let me tell you it was the best decision I have ever made with my pool. Maintenance is a breeze now, I bought a robotic vacuum and it runs daily to keep the pool clean. I just have to check levels about once a week and my PH...

Ok guys have an update, I had to make a stop at True Value on W Cheyenne, they have the 31.45% 2-pk 1 gallon for $12 vs Leslie's is $15.99

I live Las Vegas and wondering where is the best priced best quality Acid, have recently upgraded to SWCG and acid is now something I have to monitor, not something I had to do before

would a flow switch work or does that only work with the right kind of pump?

So I currently have my Circupool SJ-55 wired to my old pump timer, I am not to happy with this setup and afraid the pump will turn off and the SWCG will run dry. Can you guys tell me if this swcg generator is even an option to wire to my pump so they run simultaneously Thanks for any advice

Appreciate your response Jim, one more question, I have been noticing online that a sacrificial anode is a must especially with a SWCG, nobody on here has ever mentioned the need to have one installed. Is it necessary to have one?

I recently upgraded my pool system and added a swcg, I specifically went with a sj55 Circupool suggested @mknauss on this forum. It is working great so far zero issues My question is why this brand over the more known brands. A friend of mine has a Hayward that has failed after 3vyears but...

Thank OMW to HD

Thx Mk Any recommendations on the salt and where best to purchase?

Thanks for the reply, I guess im a bit confused, since I am new to the whole SWCG I know that I will need to add salt to the water to get it to 3500 ppm, no?

I am finally complete and now filling my 35k gallon pool, I was initially only going to replace the water since I hadnt done it in 5 years plus I recently upgraded to a variable speed pump and sand filter plus the water was no good for the SWCG. I wanted a fresh start with all new equipment as...
