    How do I work out the hourly flow rate?

    We have family members with skin issues that react poorly to chlorine and salt, so we've opted for Simple Silver water treatment. It requires the filter pump to circulate 80,000 to 100,000 liters per day. Unfortunately, the water starts to have an unpleasant odor after about a week. A dose of...

    New start and run capacitors, but pump motor still fails to start every few days

    Hi, I was gifted an older spa pool that "would no longer heat." I found that the main 2-speed pump will work fine for a few days, and then it fails to start (only a low hum). The controller automatically switches off the pump and heater when it enters sleep mode at 11pm, and then on again at...
