Unless you have a lot of debris landing in your pool, I suspect you can run your Polaris for half or less than that time. I have a similar size pool in an area surrounded by large trees. I run my Polaris for 90 minutes and it easily gets everything. I could probably run it less.

The lights for 60% & 80% come on in the diagnostic temperature display, so I guess that means 66-75F.

I don't know if this is the reason but chillers like Glacier call for the output to be a return in the floor of the deep end. Some PBs worry about it getting clogged and will place it low on a wall in the deep end. In that case you would have a home run of thst return back to the equipment pad.

I have a speed stir and that is exactly how I am testing. It's still under warranty. I will contact Pentair about the flow switch.

Water temp is 69F right now.

I converted from LC to SWGC a couple of weeks ago by installing a Pentair IC60. It's working well enough that 24 hours at 15% is keeping up with demand in my 27,500 galon pool in the Houston area. The question I have is that the salt reading from my IC60 is consistrntly 900-1,000 ppm higher...

I use the Filter Flosser for cleaning my Pentair 520 cartridges.

Hair nets like this help a lot with pollen. Disposable Caps Hair Nets, Salon Spa Food Service 100 Pack 21" White Amazon.com See this thread for my experience with pollen in the Houston area. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/one-day-of-my-first-pollen-season-with-new-pool.288482/

You can workaround to this problem by cycling the power to the heater sometime after the cooldown period should have (partially) closed the bypass valve. When power returns to the heater the bypass valve will reset to the bypass position.

A while back I bought a 50' and 100' and put them on reels that my wife uses to water plants. Last year I bought 2 100' for my well and a backyard hose reel, another 2 50' that are on reels on the pool deck to water potted plants, and 25' one at my equipment pad. I have not had any problems with...

I like the Giraffe Tools hoses from Amazon. They are lightweight and very flexible. https://a.co/d/igjYeU0

I get a fair amount of debris in my pool. My yard has a lot of trees on all 3 sides of my backyard. We intentionally keep it raw with thick brush to act as a privacy shield. There are quite a number of pine and other trees that are 50'+. I live less than 10 miles from a 163K acre national...

I am definitely a member of #teamrunhot. I think it will help a lot with the rapid increase in temperature combined with a lack of clouds that come with a Texas Spring.

I have not cleaned my filter since the beginning of Fall. I am going to clean it later this week and use how much pollen is in it, along with the pressure change, as a guage to determine when I might need to clean it again.

Our high temperature here in the Houston area will be 84F today. Pollen season seems to have kicked off yesterday. Below is a picture of one of the skimmer baskets and the yellow water in my skimmer after 1 day. Maybe the hair nets in the skimmers and my large 520 filter will reduce the number...
