I have a 2.5 single speed. I decided to just replace the motor as the cheapest option.

Hi everyone. I have a 28k gallon salt water gunite pool. My Pentair single-speed pump bit the dust, unfortunately. Pool repair company has a couple of options, and I would love your input. My motor/pump is only 4 years old :( I know a variable will reduce my operating costs so that is worth...

Interesting, I wonder if a shorter run time but running it multiple times could increase wear

Thank you. Definitely will get the combo filter. I’m worried it might be a little too small for my pool? The cord will reach for sure.

Hi everyone. I am taking the plunge and buying a robot cleaner. I am working with Marina pools and spas. I’m having a hard time deciding between the active, or the active 60/M 600. I really want the best clean but the m600 is double the price. I appreciate the more power suction, extra motor...

Thank you. I was able to wrap it. Almost done!

Hi everyone. I’ve got my Circupool RJ 60 installed. I am wiring it to my Intermatic timer. Dumb question (please be kind), how do o attached the wire to these round connectors? Do you just wrap the wire around and screw in to secure?

Thank you. Yes, I would just connect it to my skimmer like I do now with my manual vacuum. Pools are expensive, though I am not surprised but it continues to be a bit of a money pit. but its fun

Hi everyone. My pool is three years old, in ground 35k gallon saltwater. My builder installed a pentair racer cleaner and a booster pump. The racer lasted about a year before it needed constant repairs through the second year. Start of year three, the booster pump gave out. So to replace the...

Do you just turn it off or leave it running, even though it’s not producing?

Hi everyone. I’ve been using TFP and pool math since I got my pool three years ago. Because of chlorine costs, I’ve decided to go to salt water. I bought the RJ60 and will install this week. Now that it is winter, will the cell even produce chlorine? We are in the 60s right now in north Texas.
