Marty, thanks for your input. I've done some more research on the Superflo this evening and had a couple questions Based on my low requirements, why go VS over a 2 speed pump? My energy costs are relatively low (<7 c/kwh)- a Hayward powerflow 1.5 hp matrix is $400 vs a $900 superflo.....might...

Additionally I'd like to stick with a major manufacturer to get parts more easily....while I try to order online sometimes being able to fix things mid project on a weekend is nice.

I will likely diy. From what I can tell the warranty requires a professional installer, which will probably take me 5 weeks, and install cost can be more than 50% of the pump... One of the things I saw when reading is a "minimum" or "ideal" flow for a filter, but I couldnt really decipher it...

I had a pentiar challenger pump, with a Century 1.5 HP motor and a SF of 1.10. The pump strainer pot cracked in the freeze which is going to run me about $150, and while it looks like the impeller is ok, I probably have some more expenses associated to this pump. Additionally, my mechanical...

Writing out my findings for posterity in case anyone finds this thread - I went back out to the pump today to try again. Discovered a crack in the trap assembly just below the strainer pot lid. I was trying to get the lid off and saw the entire body was twisting. Looked closely and the whole...

Yet to receive it, but based on my email confirmation its the RJ-45 Plus. I did not have any discussion on warranty.

Thanks folks....will try seal it up and see if I can get it to flow...otherwise I'll open it up and check the impeller

@wireform /@mknauss I just placed an order on a new DE from poolsupply world. Is there a good thread or overall benefits summary of cartridge filters? I've had pretty good success with my DE...and from my understanding is that if I do have an algae bloom DE is easier to deal with.

@ajw22 - if the impeller was cracked, would it still put out that little bit of water? @Jimrahbe - that's what I'm suspecting as well....I believe I'd need to replace this part, right? I'd check the impeller if I'm taking that part off at this point as well but probably won't get to that for a...

Yeah I still consider it a success :-)

Well....I get to buy a new $1200 filter (DE Filter - Texas Freeze) it seems so not really counting myself as that lucky!

All - I've been troubleshooting today after the wonderful texas deepfreeze. I know my DE filter is busted (DE Filter - Texas Freeze )and am trying to figure out if my pump is still ok so I can start ordering parts if needed. Since my filter is busted, I went ahead and disconnected it from the...

I believe they are the same company. I actually chatted with discount salt and they gave me the number (936-372-1515). Though when I called, my callerID identified it as Circupool.

My RJ45+ (just purchased August 2020) froze and shattered during the 2021 texas winter storm . On a whim, I called to see if warranty could cover, or if returning it for remanufacturing would save me any money. They offered a discounted price for people affected by the winter storm. I ended up...
