Yes, a dumb question I guess . I know about the flow switch , just wasnt sure if there was a certain flow or pressure they stop producing chlorine ? Just making sure they will still operate if my VS pump is down to 1000/1200 rpm if I need to run it for a longer timeframe .

Marty , Yes I will incorporate some kind of timer .The VS pump makes it harder than it needs to be , but I will figure a way to only have the SWG turn on , when the pump is powered up ! Thanks

I can certainly run the VS pump at a lower speed for a longer time frame if needed. The VS pump has a low point of about 1200 rpm to run without collecting air in the pump filter basket . The heater (heat pump style) seems to cut off below 2800rpm , when the pressure drops too much . I could...

Hey gang , The time has finally come for a SWG install . I have a fantastic Stenner system , that works flawless ...........but.......... With the shortage of bleach/liquid chlorine becoming a problem right now , the hassle of lugging shopping carts full of bleach throughout the season and the...

Yes, agreed Marty, was just stating the even though Circupool says it can be plugged it directly to a GFCI outlet , I personally dont think its a good idea either (btw, I dont even have a SWG, was just considering this model if I was to make the switch from my Stenner system-lol) . Was just...

Nice ......... If I decide to jump from my Stenner system (due to nothing more than getting tired of lugging bleach bottles around) , I am considering the Circupool Core 55 , with $1. upgrade from 35 . The directions say it can just be plugged into a 110 outlet , and it will use the float switch...

What model did you decide on ?

Just bumping this up to the top for anyone who is wondering about a Stenner pump system installation . This has been rock solid for me for a few seasons now , also put one on my hot tub as well . They just plain work .......with little to no trouble . (still have to lug around liquid chlorine...

Stenner seems like the logical choice since you are already used to the liquid chlorine routine , plus not a huge up front cash outlay . Instead of dumping liquid chlorine in the pool a little at a time , just dump it in a vat all at once . I am on the fence with a SWG also, but the stenner is...

I have been using the BRS pump for my hot tub for years now. Works great , but I seem to go through more of the tubing sets than my Stenner system on the pool though . Tubing sets are readily available and cheap . I am using the 1.1ml version, and it runs on a timer for about 15-20 minutes a...

Jim, this is not a device that goes in the skimmer intake ...... The "PoolSkim" is a skimming device that screws into one of the pool returns and catches debris via vortex effect into a mesh bag that can be emptied. I have been using a "PoolSkim" device for several years now, it works as...

Also, just installed a Pentair Superflo VS pump and can highly recommend it . A few things that lean in your favor for the superflo VS ....... Its 120V OR 240V with no need to change anything. Just hook it up and it will figure it out itself ! Its ready , out of the box , for 1.5" plumbing...

If you have rose bushes around your house, get rid of them if you don't like Japanese beetles ! They are highly attracted to rose bushes of all types , like , the #1 attraction ! Also get rid of the traps .......they just attract more beetles than the traps can collect anyway . Our house was...

The Superflo VS should have power 24/7 . Let the pump do the controlling ......not the old timer . I had a standard Intermatic rotary pool pump timer controlling my old single speed pool pump before I installed a Superflo VS . All I did was pull all the controller tabs/pins and let the timer...

Think you must have gotten a dud . It happens .......from every retailer from time to time. Good news is Maytronics made it right . Poolpartz is the only Dolphin/Maytronics certified refurb retailer from what I have heard . Must be the reason Maytronics was quick to step in and help . Just for...

Pentair Superflo VS is a very popular pump here . Go with a VS pump and dont look back ! I just installed one and LOVE it . I also have a 25,000 gal in-ground. They are great because they are an awesome VS (variable speed) pump to save you BIG $$$ on your electric bill. Seriously , this pump...

Here is where I got my Pentair Superflo VS for $598 , free ship, no tax (unless your in AZ) ......... https://www.poolinfloor.com/pentair-superflo-vs-1-5hp-variable-speed-pool-pump-342001/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlcqVsc3W2wIVGK_ICh00UQlFEAkYASABEgKF6vD_BwE

I dont see why you couldnt put a whole pump in instead of just a motor. You have plenty of PVC to work with .......... nice open equipt pad. Doesn't look too hard at all to work within your pad . Pump looks to be approx 10 years old already ? Maybe time for a whole new pump/motor replacement ?

Maybe post a picture of your pump and set-up. I cant imagine a situation where a Pentair Superflo VS pump wont work . They are about the only 1.5hp VS pump that can accept 115v or 220v , and easily adapt from either 1 1/2" or 2" plumbing . Maybe forget about trying to just replace just the...

We now use the Pool essentials from Walmart, since the 6% switchover from most of the Bleach Co.'s . We were using Walmarts 8.25% last year, but now we use the Pool essentials 10% . Pool essentials are a full gallon, 128 oz bottle , unlike the 121oz bottles (or less) bleach bottles. With the...

I had so many issues with getting my Liquidator to be "reliable" , that I finally threw in the towel ......... I now use my Liquidator container as a 10% Sodium Hypochlorite "holding vat" for my Stenner EconT dosing pump . BEST decision I ever made to fix that unreliable Liquidator !

Our 18 x 36 is running a 117,500 BTU Heat pump that has a COP of 6.2 . Its more than enough for our pool . We can get a rise of approx 10 degrees during the day if its nice and warm out. We do cover it with a solar "blanket" at night and when the pool is not in use to conserve to heat and chems...

Thanks you for the quick reply . So it looks like there are 3 different speeds "buttons" for setting up the programing, BUT each one of those speeds is user adjustable . Excellent , that will work just fine. Thanks again !

Thanks for all the info ! Most helpful in my decision. I am hopeful the heater pressure switch will still let the heater run at about half speed of a Pentair Superflow VS . Half speed is 2200 rpm . I have some doubt that the heater will still run at low speed which is 1400 rpm. I am hopeful it...

Hi all, just looking for some expert opinions on a new pump option ...... Our current pump motor seems to be showing signs of failing soon . Starting to run louder, Starting to run hot . Too hot to keep my hand on it for long if its running for more than a hour or two. Seems like a new pump may...

Sorry, haven't checked in lately ....... The only problems I have ever had with the peristaltic pump system I use , is when it was plumbed inline with the hot tub plumbing. It was just a matter of time before the plumbing, tubing, or connections broke down from the 100% 8.25% bleach and started...

Re: Use Pleated or Mesh filter. The S300 and S300i (Active 30, Active30i), have both filtration options that work together. The fine and coarse can both be used together. Thats how I use mine and it works fantastic. Best of both worlds actually. I think you purchased a 30i ? If so , you...

No , really .......... I think you made great decision for what you are trying to accomplish ! Please don't take what I was asking the wrong way . If anything , I was knocking the lugging around chlorine thing asscociated with the stenner ! I am actually considering changing out to a VS pump...

Ok ............just wondering . How much $$$ will you have invested in an SWG , a VS Pump and extra parts needed to install a SWG chlorinating system ? I guess it all comes down to $$$ spent vs convenience factor of not lugging liquid chlorine around ? I can see that . I have about $200 -...
