    Pentair WhisperFlo 0.5HP (373w) is draining 1200w of power

    "The typical power draw is about 1,000 watts per SFHP." Interesting, the first time I hear this. So we're not too far off. "Is the motor getting really hot?" We are definetly over the 4.4 max amp, but high temps on the pump were not an issue yet. Its warm, but comfortable enough to hold the...

    Pentair EasyClean DE Filter EC90 needs to be cleaned every 14 days due to low water flow. Please help

    We've applied OMNI Chlorine stabilizer, every two weeks 1 TCCA 90% tablet, if needed Calcium Hypochlorite Granular form 70%. Another observation: If we backwash the filter after 2 weeks only clean water comes out the waste drain, not any DE powder. the DE is all caked up at the cartridge. Will...

    Alright, will stop with the algaecide. Maybe you misunderstood that we don't use Chlorine? The pool is chlorinated of course.

    Sometimes some yellow stains at the infinity edge but only where the wind blows the water, not much, easy to remove. We all have dark hair. Should we stop using that Copper algaecide?

    Thanks for the Link, mknauss. I use a pentair testing kit. Algae wasnt an issue so far, I use this algaecide weekly and the water never turned green or anything like that. But the cartridge sometimes looks greenish. I use this product. I have also noticed that pentair messed up some numbers in...

    We have installed a pressure / vacuum gauge at the pump to get all the correct numbers to calculate the TDH and to make sure the pump is not undersized. * Pool volume: 9000 Gallons / 34,000 Liters * Filter: 90 GPM, Pentair EasyClean DE Filter EC90 * Pump: Pentair Whisperflo 1/2 HP 90 GPM * Flow...
