Anyone know if these work? https://www.amazon.com/Betta-Automatic-Chip-Controlled-Chlorine-Tolerant/dp/B09XBP6GG3 $500 for me to not have to do so much skimming of the surface to make sure the pool is good at all times, I'll be all over it.

OK, HP 900 Thermal Flow Pentair. I have an Intelli Touch controller and it has a relay dry contact output that is wired to the heat pump to turn it on. Worked past 3 seasons just fine. recently my Run cap went bad and when I got it working, I was having to manually operate the heat pump at the...

thx for all the help swamprat. I got a 50/7.5 at a local Aireco supply store. And its the diameter of the original so it fits in the strap that was there unlike the one I pulled. Installed and its up and working! Cold air coming out the top and temp of air out of the top is about 20F cooler...

swamp, thanks. I pulled the cover and found the cap. I could tell before pulling the cover off that someone has been into this unit before me as several screws were missing and the little metal clip nuts were gone. The cap in there was swolen. Not only that, it was a 70/7.5 not a 50/7.5 I'm...

Pentair HP 900 So, I thought It was working a few days ago and was warming up pool and noticed today the temperature went back down. My normal pool guy does not repair heat pumps. The fan would not spin, so I gave flicked it with a stick and it spun. So I know its likely just the starting...

2 hours. Is there a way to change the backup valve timing?

I have a Polaris 280 that I rebuilt the insides last year. It tends to favor the deep end and does not clean the shallow end very well. It also tangles up at the wall alot/eventually. I just replaced the hose and added a swivel at one of the longer hoses. I could add another swivel. It...

with a constant pump RPM, flow can change with a dirty filter so don't get too close to the tripping point. Switches also can change the trip point at different temperatures also. Whether its a salt cell or heat pump, good thing to know where it trips and keep it running enough above that for...

Well, the guys from same company backwashed and at least rinsed the filter. Those guys were the ones that serviced stuff all year. I think they either thought it was something different or did not follow any sort of checklist. It says right on the side what kind of filter it is. A sand...

Well, The guys that opened my pool did not put DE in. It was about 8 days and seemed like the pool was not filtering. I was gone a few days and my first clue was the pressure seemed high. I have a variable speed pump and it normally runs so low that the needle barely moves. I have to check...
