    Will this filter work?

    Hey all, My cartridge filter finally blew out. It was a no name brand that is original to the pool, the relief valve was epoxied on, and the cartridges were ready to be replaced anyway, so it's been beyond time to replace. I'm set on using cartridge again. However, I HATE the large 4 cartridge...

    Questions for VS pump newb

    Lots of great advice. I do have my SWG wired on currently, so it makes sense to run the pump 24/7, at least until I get it wired up on the timer. After some tinkering, I learned 1250 runs at 150W, is enough to keep the SWG on, and circulates the pool. It's also Whistler quiet, so that's the...

    Questions for VS pump newb

    You are probably right. Im probably overthinking. As far as heat goes though, would you go minimum rpm on that, as well?

    Programming intelliflo to be overridden by solartouch

I set the pump schedule to use speed 5 (1250 rpm) from 6pm to noon, just to keep the water circulating. I set it to use speed 6 (2100 rpm) from noon to 6...

    Need help with Installing pentair solartouch.

    Looking closer, it appears the two black wires come in from the timer, and the two red wires go back out to different terminals on the timer. So my hunch is, the two labeled black in and black out should be wired to one terminal on the solar touch, and likewise with the red in and red out?

    Need help with Installing pentair solartouch.

    Hi all. Getting ready to install my new solar controller. The new solar touch appears to have 2 inputs. My old controller has a bunch of wires. Anyone know which of these wires should go where?

    Pool pump install: here goes nuhtn

    It's a fiberglass pool. On the deep end, it has a few jets. I can switch from the normal inlets, jets, or water feature by turning a few valves
