Any ideas what type of algae this is and recommendations on how to get rid of it? I am in Florida and it is a saltwater pool. Please and thank you.

Hello Everyone, Trying to figure out how I can get a timer on my pool light. Right now my 12v pool light is wired to a switch inside the house with no neutral wire. It would appear that any sort of time switch needs a neutral wire in order to work. Whats the easiest and most economical way...

Got it. So I can set a program using any speeds not reserved by the solar until the solar needs to kick in and then in takes over the pump. Once solar is done it returns the pump to the program which it was already running.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Chuckie. This was super helpful and I was finally able to get my pump to run full speed until I get it adjusted. One other question. Will I be able to use the timers and speed in conjunction? Or am I tied to a single speed when the pump is on and a single speed...

Jim, Thanks so much for your quick response. I like your ideas. I guess what I have to do now is figure out how to program it. I know that the solar controller will boost the speed of the pump automatically when the heat / cooling needs to happen, but beyond that I’m not sure how to do the...

Good afternoon. I just purchased an Pentair Intelliflo 3hp and solar touch controller. I live in Florida and I’m trying to determine how to program the pump for the best filtration and energy savings. The Intelliflo will automatically increase the speed of the pump with the Solar Touch...

Thank you for responding. I‘m going to upgrade to a variable speed. Home warranty will only include single speed. I guess it will be a solar controller. Are we talking $500 vs $1000 or much more than that? Solar cell is resilience. I’ve attached some pictures of the equipment for...

Good morning. I currently have a single speed pool pump which has died. Our setup consists of: Salt cell DE filter Solar heater (rooftop second floor) I‘m planning on replacing the single speed with a variable speed pump. I’m assuming I will need a valve to automatically itegrate witth...

Hi Everyone, Just moved into a house that has a pool (I've never had a pool before). We keep getting this yellow algae. It will go away if you brush it, but comes back in a day or so. The pool company that takes care of the pool told me it might be pollen. Although there is lots of pollen...
