Thanks. Any knowledge if they make a heater that will go into stand by mode when water flow is stopped due to using a pump timer? Also my last heater was a gulf stream and if I remember correctly it was 125000 BTU, all papers disappered.

Been away for a few years so starting over. Long story short, our pool was trashed by kids and Gulfstream heat pump burst in three places. I don't recall what size it was since gulfstream does not have a website log in for members and my log in here has changed my profile for my pool equipment...

thanks, guess I will increase the amount of running time, just not sure about the 365 part around here!

I recently switched to a 2 speed pump, I never had a water chemistry balance problem running old 1 speed pump from 4pm til 9 30 pm , 5 5 hrs per day. Would it be a good starting point just running the same schedule with pump on low or should I start by running on low and increasing the amount of...

Had a heat pump for 7 years, gulfstream brand, excellent quality,Last winter knothead kids did not disconnect anything and trashed all plumbing and equipment. Replaced everything and just finished except for the heat pump. Never doing that again, due to the cost of heater and monthly rise in...

Hi, thanks for the reply I ended up ordering new equipment that I thought I would need, at least until I get it running and then see if anymore needs replaced. I removed items and tossed. The heat pump had splits all over on the internal coil tubing, PVC plumbing from pool outlet and return all...

Well been gone a few and unfortunately the pool is still standing. People who lived here, yes our kids, did not know what they were doing. I think intentional. Heater core tubeing split, not going to replace. Sand filter , plumbing to pool, pump all split. Never drained equipment. All froze My...

Last year we hit -50 windchill, -35 actual and a total of 60 in of snow, that could happen anywhere that usually has harsh winters. For me that would be equipment suicide ?

Just for comparison, temps here have been 90, I have not covered in a couple weeks, humidity in the 70's %, maybe lose 1/4" a day, no shade on water at all and we are in the windiest location for our county, highest elevation. Should be easy to find the problem area, plumbing or liner. See how...

really nice, Looks like everyone is having a blast. I would be like the guy in the shades at the table and thinking, You all better pick up after yourself!

Just that the 1st thing I noticed was the 2 jumper wire locations, seeming as they were needed for all configurations and done 1st before any other wiring was done, as though the first diagram was not correct and accidentally omitted the second jumper in diagram.I guess I am looking at it from a...

Thanks for the breakdown SgtWilko, I have it working fine and a good wifi signal , now just to see how this style of timer holds up to the mechanical version. as far as that small section of paper about the jumpers that was bundled with the wires, seemed like it was a late update ( addendum) to...

+1, created a monster and now have to feed it

If going for a heat pump, check into the Gulfstream, I don't remember the vendor right now, but they are in Florida and excellent to work with.

Other than a pole with brush and a leaf net, if no trees maybe get by with a pool blaster. If you get leaves and types of dirt and willing to spend in the $300 range or up , skip the labor intensive vacuum hose route and go with a robot cleaner.
