Thanks for the links. It looks to me like the booster pump and the pool pump performance specs differ mainly in the head pressure - at the same gpm. The booster pump has a lower gpm "range" (about 9-13 gpm is the range for a cleaner), and the pool pump will easily supply the gpm requirement...

I have a Pentair Kreepy Krauly Legend pressure side pool cleaner. The manual does not give pressure or flow requirements for the cleaner - just says to use a 3/4hp booster pump. I have a 3/4 hp Pentair Whisperflo pool pump available. Is there anything different (pressure or flow) between a...

Thanks for the bump. I also posted on the Pentair site (under the IntellipH "questions section"). No one responded yet. I hope at least Pentair tech will respond. But if the faults can not be reset - its no big deal. at least it is working again.

My IntellipH had a bad motor. I replaced it this weekend. Does anyone know how to clear the "fault history" (the XX Didn't Dose)? Is there a service mode (maybe entered by holding two buttons at the same time. etc..) that will allow me to reset the fault counter to zero?

I've been doing the SLAM for a week now. I have been scrubbing and keeping FC levels up to around 24ppm (CYA at 70) all week. I have reduced the amount of black Algae spots by 80 to 90% but it's not gone completely. Water is clear. Can I just go back to normal chlorine levels now (5 to 7 ppm)...

Thanks for the help. I'm testing with the Taylor 2006C kit. I did not lower pH (I thought I was supposed to be sure it was in the "normal range" before starting the SLAM). It is (was) around 7.6 when I started. Regarding liquid chlorine. I started with 9 gallons of bleach. That was all I had...

My pool is gunite/concrete (plaster). Do I need to scrub the spots until gone - or am I just trying to break the "waxy coating" so the Chlorine can kill it? - which would mean it would die and disappear sometime later. And it's not just one spot. These black spots are all over the pool. I'll see...

My pool has a lot of Black Algae. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the pool chemistry, and now I have to deal with it. Usually I'll get some green algae in the summer months and its easy to brush away. I have been doing the SLAM (My FC is at 24 and CYA is 70). It's been three days now...

Would it be reasonable (economical) to just buy a one-piece hose of the proper length? Is there anything special about the Polaris hose? I have the 360 too, and it leaks at some of the connections, but I have not found it to be a problem.

My current cleaner, a Polaris 360, just goes straight across the pool from its wall connection to the far corner where it gets stuck in the corner of the pool wall and sun shelf. I've tried setting the water jet nozzle located on it's rear end at different angles and directions - but this...

I spoke with Pentair today. They said my current cell (dated 7/30/2018) is not under warranty because it was installed when the original IC40 failed and the warranty starts on the date of the original purchase.. It doesn't start over with each replacement (that makes sense). So he suggested I...
