    Jandy VS Plus - Weird Noises (Diagnosed as bad motor bearing)

    I have a fairly new (6 month old) Jandy VS Plus pump (Model: VSPHP270DV2A) that seems like it's rubbing, or something is off when it's running. Assuming I just need to call the pool builder to take a look, but curious if there is anything else I should consider or ask. Appreciate the insight...

    Pentair IntelliFlo Pump Corrosion

    Fellow TFP'ers... need some help. I have a Pentair IntelliFlo VSF (#011056) pump that was installed in April of 2019 and I'm seeing some pretty significant corrosion on the pump. Should I be concerned about this? If yes, is there something that I can do to prevent/control the corrosion?

    Why Purchase the Warrior SI or Nautilus CC Plus over Warrior SE

    Been reading a lot about Robots recently. It's clear that the S200/Warrior SE/Active 20 are a good choice. I'm trying to understand what made people go with the upgraded options. The Warrior SI is $50 more than the SE...is Bluetooth worth it? Is there any other advantage? The Nautilus CC...

    Pump Run Time and SWG

    Recently put in a pool and have appreciated the feedback and support of the forum. Not sure I would have survived this long without the feedback on startup, equipment, testing, etc. What I'm still not clear on is the relationship between pump runtime and the SWG. I "feel" like I want to run...

    Salt Levels

    Recently opened a new pool. We had “pool school” with the builder 2 weeks ago. He installed our SWG and added 400 lbs of salt the same day. I’ve been taking readings a few times a week since and my salt level is in the 4600-5000 range (wide range is probably because I’m still new at this...

    Recently found and joined this forum. We got word from our builder that they will be applying the final finish (Sunstone Pebble) tomorrow and adding water, so I thought I would share some build photos. I have enjoyed looking at others on here! Getting the Fence installed: Staking out the...
