    Pump size calculator or recommendation please 1.5HP vs 2HP

    I noticed the Calimar is 2”, while my current plumbing for my equipment is 1.5”, is that an issue to plumb something that reduces the Calimar to 1.5”?

    Pump size calculator or recommendation please 1.5HP vs 2HP

    It seems in Canada those pumps are not distributed, I’m only seeing Hayward, Jandy, Pentair, that’s why I’m worried that servicing won’t be an option if I run in to issues, but then again a VS pump from Hayward in my area cost 3-4x the cost of the Calimar, so it could be worth the risk in any...

    Pump size calculator or recommendation please 1.5HP vs 2HP

    I don’t think it was ever okay since moving from my original 2HP 1-speed. I’m pretty good with my chemistry, and I have a short season as I’m in a cold climate, I find with the SWG it’s pretty stable. So you opened my eyes to the CMARVSP3.0, to be honest I didn’t think a VSP was in the cards...

    Pump size calculator or recommendation please 1.5HP vs 2HP

    I have an 18x36 inground pool, 8 feet deep, 3 feet shallow, pool math tells me it’s 100,000 litres (26,417 Gallons). I have 1 x Skimmer, 3 x returns in pool and another 2 x returns in stairs managed by a separate valve. I have a heater, SWG, and a 300 pound sand filter. My current Hayward...

    Thinking of replacing my TF-100 with a TF-Pro, will the Taylor speed stir fit In the pro case? Did you switch and was it worth it?

    So I’m trying to fully convert over from my TF tackle box to the pro, great to know the speedstir fits. Is there anything else that won’t fit, like does the pro case come with its own laminated maintenance instruction card or do I need to order that, will all my old TF-100 mixing vials and test...

    Thinking of replacing my TF-100 with a TF-Pro, will the Taylor speed stir fit In the pro case? Did you switch and was it worth it?

    The new case seems more convenient, is there confirmation from users that the Talor speedstir won’t fit?

    Thinking of replacing my TF-100 with a TF-Pro, will the Taylor speed stir fit In the pro case? Did you switch and was it worth it?

    I’m sure some of you have gone through this change, as I’m about to order my re-fill kit, I’m tempted to include an order for a Pro case as it looks to organize much better. I have an older Tf-Testkit that comes with the tackle box, will all of the components from my older kit fit in the Pro...

    My pool light fixture rusted over winter, how do I resolve it?

    I wish I would have taken the after pictures for you, it cleaned up really nice, the photo made it look dramatic but it was very much on the surface and the inside was dry! I’m not ruling it out, I’ll take it out and check again. If I had to replace it, what would you recommend I replace it...

    My pool light fixture rusted over winter, how do I resolve it?

    You had given me good advice here, but I skipped a step. I had removed the bad bulb, changed the seal, and replaced with an incandescent and it worked for 1 week but some tripping issue on my GFCI. I ordered a replacement bulb in case it was faulty, but I’ll go back to the step where you said...

    My pool light fixture rusted over winter, how do I resolve it?

    Ok I know very little electrical wise, it’s connected to my Aqualogic but it’s actually the breaker on my plug (inside my cabana) that trips, not the actual breaker in the Aqualogic. So I’m assuming this is a GFCI outlet and it shows a red light, then I press the reset button on it and then I...

    My pool light fixture rusted over winter, how do I resolve it?

    Pentair Amerlite connected to my Hayward Aqualogic controller. 1. Started the season with previous LED bulb tripping breaker. 2. Replaced with an incandescent 500w 130v bulb and worked like a charm for 1 week. 3. Breaker is tripping again. I guess I could have really bad luck so I ordered a...
