They did not use unions, threaded pvc with silicone I think? Allen this is the new Intelliflo VSF that was just installed. I am fine with some air in at lower speeds but it is odd that there is some when it primes. I can take a video of what it’s currently doing if that will help. I did clean...

Yep will post some pics of the setup. I do know it’s working in “standalone” mode as I can see the blinking flow light on the iChlor30 (per manual). Like you said, there might be a cycle time but so far it’s it’s letting me into the main screen to control it. I’m planning on setting the schedule...

Hi all, I have the IntelliFlo VSF installed and the RS-485 cable hooked up to the PC100 power center of the iChlor30. For reference I'm referring to this: Now the intelliflo pump does not let me control it - says display not active for address 1. Anything I'm missing? On the phone with...

Just a quick update. I had another company come out and quote for the Intelliflo VSF. This way I could use the rs485 cable to the power center and use “SmartSense” to turn the ichlor off when pump isn’t running. That and the superflo bearings went out Saturday and has been making a screeching...

Seems to have only gotten worse. Here is new vid after shutting everything off did a few hours. SuperFlo Noise Guessing it’s the bearings? Surprised it had an issue only 6 months in.

No air in filter and lid is on and tight. Running to priming speed it was harder to here. At 2250 it’s there as well as 1800. It’s intermittent but seems to happens once every 10-15 seconds.

Hi all, Newish SuperFlo VST pump (Installed late September) has started making an intermittent whine. I want to say it started yesterday or last couple days but not completely sure. I know I wasn’t hearing it early last week. Video of noise here ->Noise I did check the impeller to make sure...

Yeah I don't think mine is really small (as can be seen in the videos). I don't get air in the returns or filter. Back at the install I had the company do a pressure test and everything looked good. The last test was adding a bit more water (about 2/3 up the skimmer). Seemed a bit better but...

You know I didn't even think about that! I only really got to use the pool for a week or two before the water (and weather) got a bit too cold and I didn't need to really worry about the salt cell. I also was wrong about the large air bubble causing low flow - I set the pump to 1600 today and...

Just backwashed and rinsed the filter. It had been a...couple months since I last did it. I checked the pressure at 2700 RPM (the priming speed) and it was right around ~15 PSI. From what I wrote in the poolmath app back in December I believe it was right around ~12 to 12.5 PSI. If I remember...

Appreciate your insight! What I'm surprised is that 1600 RPM is too low of flow for the ichlor30. I just set to 1600 for this afternoon to test (just a small bubble in the pot that's forming) and giving me low flow. I would have thought that would be more than enough given the 2 inch...

Since it's been raining this morning, a bit higher. I won't drain any just yet and check back later today/tonight.

Here is the video for this morning. Looks better after 12-13 hours of run time at 1800 rpm. At least if I compare to yesterday. Still seems like a decently sized air bubble in it though. Day 2 (increased water level) - 1800 RPM for 13 hours Day 1 - 1800 RPM for 12 hours It's raining quite a...

Here is a video of the weir door and inside the skimmer with the water level to the third screw --> Higher water level skimmer I've left the pump off until now. So from 9:30AM to 7:30PM there was no change in the pump basket. Stayed full of water minus the small air bubble that was in it. Will...

Been filling since your post! I’ve also had pump off since early this morning. Still full of water (minus the quarter sized air bubble that was in there). Almost to third screw.

Thanks again for the help Allen. I have one skimmer and one main drain. Picture can be seen here (note the drain is missing a cover, they were out of stock during pandemic). The drain goes to the skimmer basket and then is run back to the equipment pad. Here is the equipment pad: I took a...

For reference, here is the pump running at 1800 RPM after 13 hours: - SuperFlow VST 13 Hours Air Bubble Compared to SuperFlow VST Air Bubble which was at 2 hours, it's quite large. This is one thing reading those threads I can't tell if this SHOULD be happening. I understand air getting in is...

Ideally I’d like to run at a much lower rpm if possible. At Least for the majority of the day. The threads I read don’t make it clear if the bubble should be getting larger and larger over time at the same rpm. Is what I’m seeing (the video) normal for a BS pump or should it be a small air...

Hi everyone, A link to the video of what I'm seeing can be found here --> SuperFlow VST Air Bubble I know there are numerous threads on this and I feel like I've read most of them! I know with a VS pump it's common to see air in the pump basket - what I'm wondering though - should it be...

Thanks again! Yes, I'm leaning towards that as well. I'm glad low flow isn't going to cause issues!

Thanks Allen! I’m going to doubt it’s 10/15 as the equipment came late September. Kind of wishing I got the intelliflow but if I'm being honest, since i'm running the pump 24/7 I think this should be fine. I was a bit worried that having the SCWG on with low flow would be an issue! Do you have...

Hi all, I recently had a pool installed last year (October time frame). Since I have a SWCG (iChlor 30) and a SuperFlo VST pump - is there anyway I can connect the two to make sure the SWCG is only on when the pump is on? I believe in the manual I saw an RS485 connection between the power...
