Thanks again! I hadn't see that before and I was about to buy it but realized I have a 5hp Wet Vac I could try. If that doesn't work I'll be ordering this.

Oh sorry but I was wrong on the current blower. It is 1.5 hp not .5. Would 2 hp make any difference?

Thank you for your response! Sorry but I don’t get notifications for some reason when someone responds. I accept that blowing it out is pointless because it’ll just fill up with water again but it DOES work for the one time we’re out there. If I knew how to blow out the spa I wouldn’t mind...

Hello, About 2 years after our pool was built we started having issues with the bubbles in our spa which then resulted in no bubbles at all. I'd call a pool company here and there to look at it and one replaced the blower (1/2 HP) and "blew out" the lines and the bubbles worked again. The...

I'll probably do that when I'm not traveling.

I put the ET into service mode and checked the pump - it is set to a max of 3450 RPM.

Yes, it's ~1/2 way up the skimmer

Yes, I have regular returns as well and also a waterfall into a spa that waterfalls into the pool which is where most of the water is returned to the pool (now... because I can't get the RPMs above ~1750) Yes I used to have it closed but the latest pool repair company that came out told me...

Thank you @mknauss ! Yes bad PB experience all around... In floor they hard sold us on is useless so I don't even have the valve open. We have a robot cleaner to clean the floor since in floor just pushes all debris to the sides of the pool, not the main drain. Don't get me started! :mad:

Spot on advice - I just went out and set it to 1300 and it went straight to exactly 1300 RPM. Do you know where a setting would be that would limit the RPM of the pump in an easytouch Pentair system? I can't find it in any of the obvious menu settings - maybe on the pump itself which says is...

Will check that, thank you. I feel like it needs to run faster because it takes days to get grass clippings off the top of the pool after mowing the lawn. The only direction the wind blows in my backyard is right to left and the PB put 1 skimmer on the far right of the pool which gets next to...

Sorry, work got busy... I had to get a new pump installed and all they had was the Pentair VSF pump. When the guy installed it he set the GPM to 50 and said that was good for an 8 hour runtime for a ~23,000 gallon pool. I found that it wasn't getting enough yard droppings in the skimmers so...

Hi all, wonderful site here - you all have helped me figure out how to maintain my pool for the last ~6 years and it's been autopilot ever since adding bleach every day and enjoying a wonderful algae free pool. I've added solar heating to the pool since installing it and that also works great...
