Thank you, i will compare the wattage its pulling at a given RPM to the chart today. I am going to install the new seal kit tomorrow!

Thanks, well what you mention does give me hope that its the shaft seal, i hope its that since i have the replacement part on the way. i'm glad i opened my pool early this year since it seems like it's going to be taking much longer to get it all sorted with all these issues. i dont think its...

Thanks i appreciate the reply. So, funny you mention that, the seal plate had a ton of corrosion on the top right bolt, i can see now that this could be another potential issue? I also did notice some corrosion behind the impeller. paint bubbling/flaking off when i disassembled the impeller. In...

Hey Everyone. So my intelliflo which i disassembled and reassembled the impeller and front assembly on (due to an issue with not starting initially), now that is reinstalled onto the pool is performing in a way that i can only describe as 'poorly.' Numbers wise it seems fine. i dont have a GPM...

Thanks for providing this. Which cells must be populated in order to get meaningful data?

agreed. If its a matter of convenience and money doesn't matter (which i imagine it doesn't if you use a NG heater with no cover, why not get an automatic solar cover? it'll cost less than you'll spend on heating a pool with no cover, and then theres no inconvenience.

yea it seems like with solar you need to use a blanket, which is fine with me. i have a rockys roller reel which is easy enough to use. my fiancee can take it on and off the pool herself. how much do your gas bills run since you're only supplementing the solar and the gas isn't your primary...

Well, looks like my roof made the decision for me, since i can only fit about 500 sq feet of heliocols. i was able to get a quote for 5750 installed including labor and controller etc for ~500sq feet (i think its actually like 496) of heliocols including. install date is set for next friday...
