    Too much pressure, ripping things apart

    I have a 2hp whisperflo pump that has been having some problems with excess pressure. The pump is used for a spa. The pipes are all integrated with the vs pump. The pressure is so high that it has bent pump strainer baskets. The original one, and now a new one. The pump has been leaking so I...

    Pump id

    I am trying to identify this pump. The motor is a centurion, the pump’s label is long gone. The cover has a serial of 357199. The pump is used for the spa jets. Can anyone identify this, or let me know what I need to do to identify it? I’m looking to buy a seal (go kit) for this. I plan on...

    Solar cover - over pool or on top of water

    I have a kidney shaped pool with a spa. The spa is elevated and creates a waterfall with the pump. I was looking at solar covers and wanted to get thoughts on this. Should I get a large rectangle and cut to size to go on top of the water or get an oversized solar cover that would go over both...

    Pool heater only turns on when jet pump is activated

    I have a pool/spa setup with a vs pump and a high speed jet jump. I can get the spa heat to work, but only with the jet pump activated. When I use the pool heat it will again only turn on when the jet pump is active, even if the vs pump is on. When I say it won’t heat, the heater (Jandy...

    Filtering out calcium? Tell me why I am dumb…

I was wondering if I could take my sump pump and connect it to something like this and run it for a...

    General question about reliability of robots

    I figure the threads are a bit weighted with problems vs happy customers, but does anyone have any comments on the general reliability of pool robot cleaners. Was looking at the Dolphin CC Plus, but also other cleaners. I am soon going to have a gunite in-ground pool around 10'x30' with a DE...

    Introduction

    Hi, I am looking for a house with a pool and reading up on all the maintenance to keep a pool healthy. It has always been a dream of mine to own a pool. Coming from Massachusetts it was not realistic, but moving to Los Angeles it makes sense to have a pool that can be used most of the year...
