Hi all I just discovered that the EZ Spa treatment system has been discontinued. Does anyone have any replacement recommendations? I’d gotten used to using EZ spa products and thought they did a good job. Thanks.

Hi so I had the above (1.5 HP) pump installed yesterday in my approximately 20k gallon SWG pool with an infloor cleaning system and it’s working great. BUT the local dealer programmed it to run at 2600 RPM 23 hours a day and 1400 for an hour a day and I’m wondering if that’s necessary. They...

By the way I’m now seeing that the Superflo that they just installed is 2.2 TSP

Hi all, just to follow up the pump has been installed and it looks like everything including the infloor cleaning system is working perfectly. The guys who installed it programmed it to run 23 hours a day at 2600 RPM, which of course isn’t variable and largely defeats the purpose of a variable...

Thanks all. Just to follow up I went back to the local Pentair dealer today and they insisted even after I told them about the infloor cleaning system that the Pentair superflo 1.5 HP is more than adequate to do the job. Before going I did the best I could to calculate the size of the pool...

Ok thanks. I’m a total novice and have been relying on the dealer. I guess I need to follow up and make sure the superflo will work. As I said I do have a robot but I like the way the infloor system has been working and I’d hate to effectively disable it by getting a new pump that isn’t...

Yea I figured. Ugh

This is what I had. It was definitely more than adequate.

Thanks for the quick replies. I understand all of the points being made, and of course I will see if the dealer has the other suggested pumps in stock. My question though is if they can’t will the pump being installed do the job? I don’t think the infloor cleaner needs to run more than a...

Hi all my old 2.0 HP Challenger single speed pump for my approximately 22k gallon saltwater pool died on me and needs replacing. I took pics and send it to our local Pentair dealer and got this response: Pat, Looks like you have a Challenger pump. That can be replaced with a Pentair...

Thanks. I understand what you're saying and that test strips are unreliable. It can't just be a coincidence that after weeks of not being able to get any kind of FC reading I add 4 pounds of CYA and all of the sudden I'm consistently getting a reading of 2? I'm also confused because...

Hi all. I'm a new (one season) owner of a 20k pool with a SWG. I just replaced the cell with a 40k capacity one. Until recently I couldn't get a free chlorine reading to save my life. I finally realized it had to be CYA so I got a test strip and it showed I had virtually none. I added four...

Thanks. It seems to be “happy” enough. I do hear you on not trusting pool company readings. In this case, though, their reading was almost exactly what my system is now telling me after I finally figured out what cell to program it to. Before I did that the readings the system were giving...

So I just bought a new cell for my Rx Clear SWG system. The original cell was for a 20k pool, and the one I replaced it with was for 40k. I didn't realize when I made the switch that I would have to recalibrate I started getting all kinds of crazy readings on my salt level that I knew weren't...
