I am planning on a heat pump. I cannot place it close enough to the panel or anywhere else to use a 6 foot liquid tight whip (9 feet from panel). Is my only option to run pvc or rigid conduit underground close to the heater? If yes, do I transition to liquid right through a junction box...

Is there a minimum height above ground for an outdoor pool sub panel? Also, can the sub panel be a disconnect for both the pool pump and the heat pump (using the two circuit breakers) or will they need separate disconnects in addition to the sub panel? Thx

I’ve been looking for any documentation on flow and pressure loss for the Hayward W3HP21405T and can’t find it. I can find it for the Raypak 8550, which is the other heat pump under consideration. Does Hayward publish this data? Thx

I know this is a bit off subject, but I just put in a bypass because I will be installing a heat pump. I am down to a Hayward and the same Raypac you installed. It may be too early, but do you have any advice/opinions on buying the Raypac? Thx Moved from here.

Hi. I’ve read previous posts on the comparison, but can’t get a good feel for which pump. I’ve done the head calculations and the 1.85 HP is fine. I would consider the 2.7 if it is significantly more quiet because it may run at a lower speed (neighbors 🙄). I am installing myself so the Pentair...

I am redoing all my equipment. I am now at the point of picking a heat pump. We are in NJ, just want a warmer pool during the summer and extend the session a week or two. I am looking at Aquacal and Raypak. Reliability is important, but since the equipment is close to the property line and...

Anyone using this filter. I was about to order a Hayward C4030, but this filter looks pretty easy to clean. Might be too small for my pool and not sure how it will hold up. Also not a whole lot of reviews for it. Thx

Hi. I am replacing a pool pump on an older pool and noticed there is no bonding wire at the pump. I checked the pool. The ladder, handrail and pool light junction box had continuity, so it looks like it has a bonding grid. I will check to see if the pump bonding wire was cut. My question is the...

After losing water for a few weeks, I pressure tested my pool and found a leak at the pool wall. There is 1 1/2 inch black poly pipe that attaches to the wall over a plastic fitting. The black poly was glued on and the fitting is cracked. It looks like it is a reducing fitting that reduces...

A question asked a thousand times, I am sure. My Pentair 1.5 HP Challenger pump motor just failed. I've replaced the motor twice and the pump is quite old, so I am looking at another pump. My pool is 26,000 gallons, 1.5 inch piping, 1 skimmer, 1 drain, 2 returns, a Nature II and chlorinator...
