I have a new Pentair Intelliflo3 3hp vs pump. I love it and it works great. I use the Pentair Home app to control it. I plan on running it 24hrs a day, mostly at a low speed with maybe an hour or 2 at a higher speed. My question is about programming. The default 24 hr program in the...

I need a new pump. I’ve attached pics of what I have now. I also have a Polaris booster pump. Currently they are controlled with a timer. I’m thinking of getting either a 2 speed or variable. I don’t have any automation. I’ve been looking at the Pentair models, but they have a...

I have an old single speed Pentair 1.5 hp pump. We had a big storm the other night and when I woke up the pump was off. Turns out the breaker was popped. I tried flipping the breaker and it just kept popping. So I switched off all the equipment with a switch and left it all for a day...

I have a difficult pool with a big tree that hangs over it and drops many leaves and stuff. I bought a new Polaris 280 4 years ago which has worked pretty well. This year I noticed that it wasn’t moving much and tended to get tangled in the hose connection coming out of the wall a lot...

So, I thought I had 2 problems with my backwash line that runs from the filter around to the front of the house. I know that it had a leak about half way along the side of the house. I also know that the end of it it doesn’t line up straight with the house drain, and when I backwash some...

My backwash line runs from the pump around the side of the house to connect to the sewer line in front of the house. It has a leak and when I backwash it leaves a big puddle besides the house. I’m thinking of removing the flex tube coming out of the valve and connecting one of those...

I'm thinking of getting a swg for my pool. Today I have a single speed pump so I would probably have to replace it. Most people seem to be running the swg on a vs pump, but how well would it work on a 2 speed pump?

I had a repairman in last week to work on installing a new heater. While talking to him, I mentioned that I was thinking of getting a salt cell. I use liquid chlorine today He said that the salt water will ruin my stainless DE filter and I would need to replace it too Is this right?

I have a waste line for the pool equipment. The line leaves the pad, goes around to the front of the house, and comes out of the ground and loops to point downward. It ends about 2 inches above a cast iron sewer pipe sticking out of the ground that is open. If I backwash, you can see the...

I'm replacing the electric box and timers on my pool. I have a 11/2 hp Hayward pump and a new Zodiac 3/4 hp booster for the Polaris. I have 2 manual Intermatic timers for the 2 pumps. I noticed that there is only 1 240v 30 amp circuit feeding the 2 pumps. It goes to the first timer which...

So, I bought a house in Sep that had a pool. Before we bought the house, I knew that the pool was trouble, but my wife really loved the house, so.... The pool is about 30 years old, and has a number of issues. The only real change I made last fall was to have the diving board removed. It...
