    Dolphin Nautilus CC name this part please

    Could anyone please let me know the name of the rubber wiper s on the bottom of my pool cleaner. I checked multiple sites and map diagrams to no avail. Mine are starting to curl and tear. Thank you.

    Anyone run a solar pool pump?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Parallel with check valves sounds like the right path. Not sure what/if regarding the long term payoff.

    Anyone run a solar pool pump?

    Taking a look at this unit, reviews are OK. With my 20k pool, with filter, and salt water system, this pump claims 136GPM, and I was thinking of installing this in series with my existing variable speed pump for those overcast days. Any thoughts? I easily have room for 8x250w panels...

    Kill the Frog? And t-cell placement?

    I just picked up the Hayward 40k setup since it was on sale for $1099. https://amzn.to/2YsmjUh As you can see in the pics, my setup plumbing is a little tight and would be installed on the pool outlet only, before the Frog mineral cycler. Before cutting and gluing, I wanted to get some input...

    What is the difference between the Hayward W3AQ and GLX-CTL-RITE?

    For what its worth, the W3AQR15 40k system is on sale for $1099, about $300 off, on Amazon. Just bought one. Now I need to determine how much salt to purchase. https://amzn.to/2Y6UnVy
