Hello, I'm thinking about changing my pump. My existing pump is some generic Black and Decker 2 speed 1.5hp that looks like it was built in a Chinese build house that makes store brand stuff. Available speeds are 1720 and 3450 rpm. It has a qmax rating of 92gpm. I imagine that's the max flow...

I figured Id share my setup since I did it with a lot of info obtained here. The pump and filter were originally done with some cheap hoses. I built the pad, added the heater and buried everything. This is my first time working with PVC piping and pool equipment so being an amateur is an...

Hello, When I first got my pool (before learning anything about its chemistry) it came with a copper ionizer. I did a lot of work and removed it completely. For this year, I'm using Liquid Chlorine and cal hypo (because I have it). I got something from the pool store last year containing...

Hi Everyone, I was planning on doing a 250k or 300k pool heater that needs roughly 90 ft of mdpe plus risers. I got 1 1/4 mdpe BUT I'm now considering a 400k heater. Anyone here have a similar set up? I'm curious what kind of pressure drop you're seeing from the meter to the heater with 100ft...

Hi Everyone, Just looking for some opinions. I'm trying to decide between a Pentair Mastertemp 250 HD or Mastertemp 300. The 250 HD has the cupro nickel heat exchanger vs copper in the 300. Pool is 11k gallons, 15x24 semi inground and I maintain my own chemistry. It came with a copper...
