Hello, My Pentair Dynamo above ground pool pump died a week ago after only about 2.5 years of use. I bought a Hayward Power Flo LX pump as replacement, thinking maybe it is better. I am not handy at all and after watching numerous videos, decided I was ready to attempt to replace. I was all...

Hi, finally tried to install the pool skim. Can someone tell me if this looks right? It is kinda loud and very shaky...a few times it has crept up and fell apart... I also bought the fine bag but couldn’t figure out how to install since no clip. I put it inside the blue bag and they kinda float...

Hi all, Is it ok to leave the pump and swg running 24/7 while gone for a week? Anything special we should do? I doubt I will get my 2 speed pump or timer set up before trip so I think 24/7 it has to be... Also how much does it really increase your electric bill? I googled and based on rate of...

Hi, I ordered a 2 speed pump but got a single speed pump delivered instead...waiting for deck to be built so that I can exchange the pump after. I am looking to install a timer to hook up pump and swg in the meantime..can someone please tell me if a 2 speed pump and swg can run on a 20 amp...

Hi, based on advice here, I should not have swg on when pump is off and the only way I can do that is if I unplug the swg before I turn pump off. My installer says to leave swg plugged in and it will only generate salt if water flow through. Is that what I should do? Just leave it plugged in and...

Hi, I currently have a 1.5 hp pump (which will be switched to 2 speed pump soon as installer brought the wrong one) and a swg. I’d like to set up a timer. Is there any timer model you recommend? I assume I will need 2, one for pump one for swg? Who do you call to install? My outlets are on a...

Had my electrical inspection today and was told I passed conduit and bonding but they need to see specifications from pool manufacturer for final inspection. He mentioned there was a sign on motor that this is not for portable pool use. I asked him to clarify he said he needs the manual for...
