I've had really good luck using tablets and I like the idea of a chlorine feeder. I'll most likely go with a Pentair Rainbow unit, and I was set to buy the clear 320 inline model, but I've heard at low speeds it doesn't work well. I run my Intelliflo at around 1000-1200rpm, it's around 20k...

I have a fountain pump that runs for about 15 minutes, than shuts off, then starts up again after about 15 minutes. I have a small area to work with, and was trying to find a pump like the one I have on there. The fountain is about 6 feet tall with a spout on top, so that's about the power I...

I had an Intelliflo installed just a few months ago, and the lcd screen went out, it's simply blank. The pump seems to work fine, and my settings are intact. I have a 1 year warranty with the installer, but it's clear my "warranty" is just to dump me with Pentair. Is this an easy fix where...

What exactly is the purpose of this valve? I'm not sure if something is wrong with my spa heater, but if I either open this valve all the way, or close it all the way, my heater goes into a "high limit" mode. If I open it up about half way, I can get the heater to work, but it seems to be...

So I had my pool redone about 3 months ago. I used to have a fiberglass pool, now it's a quartz/plaster. Something Ive noticed is before, I basically did zero maintenance, and everything worked out. I dropped a tablet in about once a week, and had the water tested every few weeks at the pool...

I'm giving serious thought to purchasing an SWG. I swam in someone's pool who has one, and i really do like the way the water felt. I also like the idea of less maintenance. When I talked to a store that sold them, he indicated to me that the downside was you have to be constantly adding more...

I have a pool fence I'm having built around my pool. The basic option is powder coated, but a galvanized option adds quite a bit to the price, over a $1000 dollars. I live in AZ where it's incredibly dry, and the powder coating SHOULD do a good job, but on a single side there's a 5 foot...

I would think at the very beginning since it then gives it the most time to filter pool water that's been "stirred up", but would it maybe be better in the middle of the pump cycle? Or does it make zero difference? Right now, I have my Intelliflo run from 9pm to 9am, with the Polaris running...

I have a newly plastered pool (about 2 months now) and there's a brown line running from the equalizer, anti-vortex grill on the pool wall to the bottom of the pool. There's no other stains in the pool, and the water chemistry is perfect. I haven't put anything like shock in the pool, and the...

I have an older Versa heater, and when I turn it on, everything seems to be working, then after about 3-4 minutes, it makes a knocking banging sound, then the "High Limit" light comes on. Any idea what's going on? Thanks for the help.

I recently had an IntelliFlo pump installed, but unfortunately the installer just set it at a very high setting (around 2400rpm) at night which sort of negates the purpose of getting the pump. He had it turning over something like 3 times a day (in the winter) I was able to reprogram to where...

The house I'm at has a line with a separate, small cartridge filter for a Polaris 280. Is this necessary considering it feeds off the Sand filter and it's a pressure powered cleaner? Thanks, a newbie trying to figure this all out.

I had a really old single speed filter pump, and the installer set it up the new IntelliFlo I bought to turn over 3 times per day, something like 800 watts at 8 hours a day. My pool is around 25,000 gallons. Doesn't that sound excessive, especially in the winter? I'm new to all this, but I...

I was going to purchase a Pentair Superflo 1hp. I have 2" piping into an in ground spa that has a water fall feature that pours into a larger pool. The waterfall feature is powered by a separate pump. The spa is under 500 gallons and has a gas powered heater and uses a separate cartridge...

I have a separate filter pump for my in ground, small spa that's a Sta-Rite 2hp. I was going to either have it replaced or rebuilt because it's noisey and seems to be on the way out. I was under the impression rebuilding a small pump like this was relatively inexpensive, around $150 or so...
