    Hayward Tigershark

    I have a Hayward Tigershark QC that was purchased in 2016. I think it finally crapped out on me. It will power on for about 5 seconds then shut off. I can push the button under the switch on the power supply and power will come back on but the cleaner cord has to be unplugged and it often takes...

    Thinking about replacing old pump

    I replaced my pentair single speed pump with a two speed ecopump. I would recommend a two speed. I am saving money on my utility bill.

    Pump question

    I am looking at the ecopump ep-6. I did the math and my pentair single speed 1.5hp cost 3.67 a day running 24/7. The ecopump would cost .75¢ a day. Now I didn't pull the amps off the pentair while it's running. This is based on the label. So, it will take a couple of years to recoup the cost...

    VS pump/2 spd pump pros+cons

    I purchased a Hayward tigershark. One of the best purchases for my pool I have made so far. Plug it up and let it go. I am in same boat as you. My single speed is an energy hog.I will be purchasing the Pentair VS 342001. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    VS pump/2 spd pump pros+cons

    Dang, 12 bucks a month. I run mine 14 hours a day and I bet it cost me around 45.00 a month. I can't wait til mine craps out. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    VS pump/2 spd pump pros+cons

    I have a single speed Pentair 1.5 hp. I hope it craps out so I can get either the Pentair VS Superflo for around 650.00 or the ecopump Ep 6 for around 850.00. I have narrowed down to those two. Just remember, your SWG can't be powered on when there is no flow. There is a chance it might...

    New winter pool cover recommendations

    I purchased a deluxe heavy weight safety pool cover. It's solid and came with a sump pump. I bought it from pool warehouse.com. It was 1015.00. When I took it off this season, I literally put my tigershark vacuum in and that's it. The pool looked like it did when I covered it. I have a buddy...

    Which pool cleaner do you own?

    I went to Sam's and bought a deck box for our pool stuff. I store it in there after I clean the filters and let them dry for a bit. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Which pool cleaner do you own?

    This is my first season with the Hayward tigershark QC. So far it has performed to my expectations. It's easy. Plug it up and put it in. Take it out. Clean filters and it's ready for next time. If your OCD, don't watch it cause it will drive you crazy..?. One minute it's in the deep end...

    Test kit

    Well, let's see. The last time I tested the water my results were: FC 7, CC 0, CYA 70, TA 90, PH 7.8. I do test these things. Just needed some refill on cya and thought I'd get R-0871 while I'm at it. I have been testing cya more than normal because last year and earlier this year I've had...

    Test kit

    Did more than normal cya testing the last couple of years due to all the gulleywashers we seemed to get everytime I turn around. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Nevermind, I guess the website isn't mobile friendly. I found what I needed. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Test kit

    Can I buy refills of just what I need or do have to get the complete refill kit. Normally I only test chlorine and cya. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
