Hello TFP, My home warranty company will not replace my existing single speed pump under warranty as it is starting to go, the bearings are squeeling pretty bad, and I got them to replace the booster pump once before and it is less than 4 months old. I have the Dolphin pool cleaner now, so...

OK, that all helps. I have added a sig with hopefully more details. 21k gal, with attached spa, 2" piping, nat gas heater (doesn't work rt now) no solar, using chlorine...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the help with helping me make the right choice for my pump. I ended up with the Pentair VS pump @ 3hp, and it is model 011018, I have been reading on the programming options, and length of time to run the pump. Now that I have the pump how do I know what program...

I too was looking at the Ecopumps a little while back, but as some chimed on my thread, fairly new company, their ads, and website uses fancy words for some of the same stuff in every pump to make theirs sounds better. It's a newer company, not as long of a trackrecord, etc etc. I ended up...

Thanks! I am brushing it several times a day and not really noticing the water getting cloudy, as I was told it will get cloudy as the plaster dust brushes off... They told me if I continue brushing it several times a day, I will be able to use it faster than their timeframe of 2 weeks...

I have been reading as much as I can on here and I will be doing the traditional startup method listed on the site. Traditional Start-up Your builder will normally take care of the first five steps and then turn it over to you. Check all equipment and make sure it's functional. Circulate...

THis is the pump I am going to get. To buy this online I was told has only a 60 days warranty, is that true? At the Leslie's near me they told me that and even showed me the box where is says 60 day warrantly if bought online. And must be installed by professional otherwise it will void the...

Sorry I meant superflo VS.

Hi everybody! Checking back in with you all on progress. I have terminated my pool guy as I had a Polaris 280 sweep and it was clogged and I cleaned it out as he said replace it and after I told him it was working again about 2 wks later it just broke again. Checked it out and found one of...

So my existing single speed pump is making this horrible squeeling sound almost every time it turns on now. I do have a home warranty on this pump as well, (part of package when bought home). After reading more and more and calling to confirm that my warranty covers the pump, does this sound...

I've been talking to my pool guy since like I said Im new at this and he said he can get the pump for me and don't buy it online as the warranty isn't the same. He is saying the pumps typically are around $1200-1800 for a good VS pump. But when I look online they are about 1/2 that much. Also...

I can't figure out how to post pictures from my mobile, so I did take some pix and after some cleaning up n googling it looks like I have a A.O Smith motor K48M2N110, and from what I could decipher on the label and internet it's looks like I have a Hayward RS1500... It - - - Updated - - -...

I have been reading on the UV opinions here since I posted the last post. I am really thankful for sites like this that can help steer someone in the right direction on these things. I will be home this evening and post some pictures up then! Thanks in advance for any help.

I live in CA, and have PGE for my power, so its expensive. I typically hit Tier4 during the summer which is .32/kwh. My home I purchased last year in June has an older pump, but it it so weathered I can not tell what it is, or even where to find a label to try to figure out what to look at for...
