    Dolphin S300i Owners Club

    You can add me to this list of owners. I purchased an S300i from Marina's this week and got a great deal along with the rebate. I was having some plaster and re-tile work done on my pool this week so by the time the robot showed up yesterday and the pool was filled back up, there was a good bit...

    Rio Olympic pool

    Apparently a quote from someone said this: "We confirm that diving training in Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre pool is cancelled this morning. The reason is that the water must be still so the pool can return to it's blue color as soon as possible" - Phillip Wilkinson, Rio 2016 Spokesperson...

    Plumbing help for new VS pump

    Well, here is what the pad currently looks like: I am not opposed to re-organizing equipment on the pad. I am even looking into a new multi-port valve for the filter/backwash. I wanted a better one, not the push-pull that is there now. Some of those have side exits which may help with layout...

    Plumbing help for new VS pump

    While I have done basic PVC plumbing in the past, I need a little help with some pool plumbing. I have purchased a new Pentair Intelliflo VS pump and will be replacing an old Pentair Challenger Single-Speed. My concern is about how to go about plumbing the inlet to the new pump, since there is...

    Geothermal pool heating

    Thanks for that info. I went back and looked at the data that I have been capturing from my system since it was installed last summer. My exit water temp (EWT) was rarely, if ever, above the mid-80's. I, too, like water in the low 80's, so it would be really hard to get a lot of heat out of my...

    Geothermal pool heating

    And this is really what I am thinking. I don't expect the geo to do all the work, but if it does some of the work, that's less that I pay for propane and it's even green, if you like that sort of thing. I have a 300,000 BTU propane heater on the pool. It's brand new and since I have a spa, I...

    Geothermal pool heating

    Thanks for the comments, Jason. While I certainly would not expect to be able to dump a massive amount of heat into the pool, I figure any amount of heat would help. I, too, have a 5 ton geo unit. I'll need to look at my system data and see what the exit water temps get up to. If there is a good...

    Geothermal pool heating

    Not sure if this is the right subforum for this question, so if the wrong place, please feel free to move it. I have a geothermal heating system in my home. I would like to find a way to utilize the output of my heat pump to send the heat through a heat exchanger that will put the heat into the...
