A car goes in a pool. http://www.break.com/index/women-drivin ... on-2357646

(NECN: Eileen Curran) - We do the occasional story about a car that might end up in a pool but rarely do you see something like this. An RV wound up in a pool in Brockton, Mass. It was the end of a wild ride, but, once the camper came to rest, the rescue effort was just beginning. “He...

Golly, its own cooling fan. Who'd of thunk. :hammer: You know, I think that explains why, in the spring, the snakes wrap themselfs aroung the pump instead of the empty beer cans. I'm going to get my boots on, shovel the snow away from the pool shed door and look to see which end of the pump...

I'm sorry susa, but I can't see why you would ask a 3hp pump with 2 inch fittings to pump less than 15 gals a min. I also can't see where pumping, say 8 gals a min, would allow your skimmer to work very well. Maybe all the snow we have has frozen my brain, but I just don't see why you would...

I wonder what he ended up doing? :?: :?: :?: I hate to think he just let it go.

:wave:

With 1 to 3 inches of water left, get in and find the hole. Repair it and fill the pool. My 2 cents

No, in manual mode you loose some of the safety setting (filter pressure shut off, blocked intake shut off). For me, running the pump 24/7 and in auto, and being around the house all day, (I'm retired) I set my pump up like this but I don't change it very often. My pool is 20 X 40 inground...

I have the Pentair VF-3050. That pump does more than I'll ever want it to do. My old Hayward pump ran at 2050 watts while the VF runs at 375 watts, were I have it set at 31 gals per min. (the 2050 watts was measured). It has a built in timer that does alot. The pump knows when the filter is...

I don't advise anyone on how to hook up a pump; but I'll tell you how I did my VF-3050. I run a 230 volt 30 amp ground fault breaker in the garage. The breaker also supplies a 230V pressure pump for my cleaner that runs when the main filter pump is running. (The cleaner pump is on its own...

Well, I looked up the specific gravity of Propylene Glycol; it is 1.038. Won't float. All these years I always thought it would float. All these years I knew it would float. :hammer: O'well, I ain't asking about Santa.

I'll put my 2 cents in for the heck of it. I DON'T blow out the bottom drain with air. The reason is because of the unknown torque it could cause on the bottom drain and line in a sand bottom pool. The pool level and the level in the drain line should be about equal with an open line at the...

Chlorine can cause cancer? http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id ... _article=1 I don't know. :?: :?: :?:

I bought mine fron here. Besure to look at all 6 pages of valves. http://www.westsidewholesale.com/pool-s ... lves-plist
