I am really new at this therefore I feel I need to get some specific number of my installation. I would like to be able to tell how long will be a cycle of filtering so I can optimize the time the pump would be in service. also and having ways to trouble shoot a little bit more precisely than...

Unfortunately, I have never seen the pool running and I don’t know it history. I have bough a pool with black water, a broken pump and zero knowledge. Based on what you have found out and the few I know, it sounds the previous owner had a super pump but then replace the motor with a 3/4 HP SF...

Hi, I understood now optimizing the pool system is somehow depending on multiple variable. one being wrong might compromise the whole installation. So I guess I really need to be able to monitor my installation. I understand there is a pressure meter that would be host by filter that can help...

Hi, It has a SF of 1.0 Rest of the label : UST1072 MOD. CET69ABM RPW 3450 Amp 11.0/5.5 Type UAC A.O. Smith Corp. Cheers

For the housing, yes it does. The motor is different though. it is a 3/4HP A.O. Smith Corp. but gone. I got this number on the basket.

At the moment : Hayward SP1600 with a 3/4HP A.O. Smith Corp. But the motor is dead and the pump housing is in a bad shape. I am about to purchase a new one. I have been expanding the plumbing and the pump and filter will be now 20 feet (and four 90 dares elbow) farther. I am considering this...

Interesting point. 2 speed pump might be the way to go. Is that correct to say, I would have the lower speed for regular filtering process and higher speed if I need to use a cleaner of mix my chemical faster. My concern is the following : Is that okay to process the flux at a higher rate than...

A lot of interesting stuff to digest over the week end. Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to figure out the pump I should choose to replace mine. I have a above ground 19000 Gallons. I have calculated a 40 GPM. My sand filter can handle 50 GPM. My big question mark is about the heal loss of my installation. I have come up with a number that seems to be outranging ...

Thank you. my filter can handle up to 50 GPM and my calculation shows about 40 GPM for a cycle of 8 hours. I wouldn't mind if it is a bit longer though. The question mark at my end is more the impact of the plumbing.I am using this type of chart to figure it out. Length of 1 1/2 tube is below 80...

Thanks Jim, that's sounds clever. I'll give a shot. cheers

Hello, I am in the process of buying a new pump. As soon as I have installed it I will have to clean the pool. This pool has been most likely not used of 18 month. It has a thick (1/2 inch) layer of leaves and other debris on the bottom of the pool. I am considering filtering the water as I am...

Hi, I am just starting to investigate on how I could properly take care of the pool. I have conflicting information. It is a above ground 19000 Gallons with one skimmer 2 holes (one plugged). Two out take lines but only one is connected. (perhaps the other one is a spare one). Pump is 0.75 HP...
