I noticed someone here stating to not use Muriatic for cleaning a SWG. What is recommended for cleaning if I shouldn't use 50/50 muriatic and water??????

I bought my Dolphin S-200 in Feb 2022 and made the mistake of leaving it in the pool. I won't make that mistake again. Today I noticed when started, it will run for less than a minute and then stop. If I restart it, the same thing happens. I opened it up and found the case was dry. Both...

A friends pool has had an air leak for years with small bubbles coming out of the discharge ports into the pool. We just installed a variable speed pump and, not unexpectedly, the air leak is still there. I lubed up the o-ring on the cover of the new pump and that changed nothing. I'm tempted...

First off, thanks to everyone on this forum for giving me great advice over the years. A friend has had a suction side piece-of-junk cleaner for a while and it just went bad. Is there a good robotic for around $800 or so? I'm not sure I trust the rechargeable versions and am not averse to the...

I often read about a smartplug used to turn the SWG on and off along with the pump. I'm currently using a mechanical clock switch and would prefer something more reliable. Where can I find this "smartplug"???? Thanks! Ed

After years of fighting my pool to keep it clean (it had a 2 speed pentair pump, stainless 24 sq ft DE filter, polaris 280, using chlorine tablets), I found my filter was way undersized, so I bit the bullet and upgraded all my older equipment by installing a Pentair Intelliflo pump, waterway 525...

The problem I have is that when the pump is off, the water drains out of the filter into the pool and the pump has to be primed at every startup. I'm seeing a small steady stream of small bubbles coming from the filtered water pipe into my pool so air is being sucked in on the suction side of...

I have about 30 lbs of 3" tabs and recently installed a circupool RJ60 salt cell system. I can't think of a good reason to hold onto the 3" tabs and don't plan to start using the salt cell until after the tabs are used up. In the meantime, should I remove the cell from my plumbing and use the...

I'm looking for an easy inexpensive way to control my polaris 280 booster pump so it coincides with my Intelliflo. Is my only option to run a separate timer for the 280 or is there a module/relay so the intelliflo turns it on and off? Thanks everyone!!!

Posting this in case anyone isn't aware that Clorox pool salt is made from wastewater that comes from oil fracking. Check out this report: Investigation: Clorox Selling Pool Salt Made From Fracking Wastewater

I'm going to switch over to salt in a week or so and have a Pentair fiberglass DE filter and use fiberclear. I've always backwashed into a stainless separation tank and have heard different stories about whether the stainless tank will rust out quickly or not. I would use a backwash hose, but...

I have a 30,000 gallon chlorine pool with pentair 2 speed pump and 36 sq ft sta rite DE (I use fiberclear) stainless filter. I'm planning to switch to salt using a pentair intellichlor IC60. I'm also thinking about replacing filter to get rid of stainless tank and am thinking about getting a...
