Hi, I have two questions I hope to get help with :) 1. When I divert all the suction from skimmer to main drain, I get consistent bubbling in my returns. When I switch it to 25/75 (skimmer/main), i don't get bubbles. Does this mean air is getting introduced into the plumbing between the main...

Hi, Thanks to the help of many on TFP, we have successfully installed our 2.7 HP Pureline VSP (PL2626/PL2606) with Aux power to the IC40 SWCG - included many f-bombs and other choice words, but all is running fine with no leaks :) The pump runs at a highest speed of 3450, and lowest of 600rpm...

Thanks again! - can you tell I'm totally overthinking things? :)

So, we are finished the wiring to replace a hayward superpump with a pureline PL2626. the PL2626 comes with great unions to attach to our exist pipe, but the in-flow pipe has already been extended so we don't have enough room to add the union unless we cut the pipe before the old extension...

Thanks @proavia for mentioning this - that was going to be next question :) It's already connected to the pump, IC power center and our booster pump (not used), so we'll plan to just remove from the old pump and reconnect to the new pump. Thanks again Thank you @Jimrahbe for all the responses...

Thanks so much. Currently, both the green line from the SWCG and the Pump are connected to a line that goes to the timer (I think). Would that remain as is? or do I need to connect them differently - if so, how? :) Thanks again @Jimrahbe

Hi, After much debate, we ordered the VSP Pureline PL2626 (salt friendly model) from inyopools to replace our single speed hayward super pump. We decided to DIY the install, but need a little help with the wiring for the Intellichlor IC40 (with Power Center). My current set up has the Hayward...

Hi, Thanks for the quick response. Not sure if you saw my update to my last post, but I spoke to the inyopool rep and he said I could rely on the Pureline Aux relay to only power the SWCG when the pump is on. Do you have any experience with using that port? I would like to get rid of the timer...

Hi - I called inyopools and spoke to a few ppl just to make sure I was getting the right information. Seems they don't ask all the leading questions before recommending a pool pump.. so I'm glad I asked follow up questions (thanks to knowledge gained at TFP). I got recommended 3 different...

We have a timer switch on the wall to turn the pump on and off.. and a double breaker (picture attached). So, I need a second timer to switch from low and high speed? Would I need a l second timer for a variable motor or is that built into the pump? Sadly, no rebates in my area for pool pumps...

Hi, I'm replacing a single speed Hayward 2HP Superpump and looking for recommendations for a two speed pump. I'd like to see if we can do it ourselves, so looking for a 2-speed replacement (we have no plans for automation and are happy to go outside to turn on/off pump, waterfall, etc. Please...

Thanks again. I'll wait to hear which pumps @mas985 or @JamesW recommend. Thanks

really? I thought i was pushing my luck with the age of our heat pump. It was installed in 2003 with the pool, but we had a small part replaced 3-4 years ago b/c the temperature was reading too high. It does meet our needs - and I didn't realized a new heat pump was over $4k. point taken!! :)...

Hi Jim - I was reading other posts and hoping you would be the one to reply to my post - so thank you! :) Some follow ups :) ... - Do you have any recommendations for a 2HP dual speed? Replacing a Hayward Superpump, so it would be great if the connectors/etc are the same so maybe we can do it...

Hi, I'm struggling with a few pool equipment issues/questions and deciding what order to tackle them. Most important is that our single speed Hayward 2HP Superpump bit the dust in the early fall right before we closed the pool. We ran it with minimal issues (aside from needing to drop pH...

Hi, About a week before our pool closing, our single speed pool pump has died. It's an old Hayward 2HP Superpump with a 3 yr old motor. It had a leak I fixed with silicone and seemed to be lagging the last few weeks (pressure was lower than it should be) so I knew it was close to replacement...

Thanks, I checked earlier today and unfortunately, no special rebates available with our electric company. Also, who are the 3 major? I only know if pentair and Hayward. Would our minor flow issues be resolved with a variable pump, or would we need to go up in horsepower too? Thanks!

Hi, We have had our pool for 9 years (it was built in 2000) and 3 years ago, we replaced the motor in our Single Speed Hayward Super Pump after it had died. There was a small leak after, which we tolerated for a few years but this year, decided to finally replace the diffuser gasket. In the...

Thanks. Still not sure where the sulfite is coming from, but vacuuming out doesn't seem to be too hard. But those pictures of the crystals in the other post are amazing.

Hi thanks for all the responses and the link to the thread. Such a weird situation since we never had these crystals before. I don't use dry acid. I've only used liquid muriatic acid from lowes, which when added to the crystals does cause it to fizz. So the general idea from the other thread...

Hi, these are my results TC 2 PH 7.5 TA 100 CH 240 CYA 0 SALT 2600 I added a few pounds of Calcium chloride (safe step 7300 deicer) . Same one I've added in previous years and never saw these crystals. Thanks for responding

Hi, this morning was our first clear pool morning this season - it took 3 days to clear due to leaf debris. This is my 8th year opening with the help of TFP and I had no issues until I vacuumed what I thought was small mounds of dead algae from the pool using a handheld pool vacuum. If you...

Hi Rob, not sure if it's clear in the pic I posted in my original post, but the water in the waterfall pools looks brown due to the color of the cement and the water in the pool is dark blue. I'd like the colors to be closer in hue. It's definitely a minor thing, but I think it would look more...
