    Circupool Core55 or RJ60?

    I keep hearing that if you can afford, go big and use at lower power. So, since this is a new investment, that's what I'm aiming for. Pool is roughly 20K gallons, so either are enough overkill. I have a new pentair intelliflo 3 pump with relay, currently just on intermatic timer 24/7, using...

    Weir door skimmer round cover flappy thing missing

    Rectangular outside and round inside. Never had a basket or weir door. I think i remember previous owner mentioning something about a round cover to seperate skimmer from pool. Our pool pad has only one pipe in from pool. We don't have a diverter to choose drain or skimmer. When the pump...

    Am I insane or genius with this heater bypass?

    So I ran out of time and patience as I put in the new pump and filter. Yes, someone keeps saying it on here, I'm going to give a shout out. That Intelliflo3 is QUIET!!! I have such a small area to work with. And I didn't get all my bypass and heater stuff done. but I need the water circulating...

    Can my new Intelliflo3 with relay board power a heater?

    Title pretty much says (asks) it all. The relay board has two spots, a low voltage and a high voltage. I keep hearing it'll power lights or a SWCG on the low, and a booster pump, or lights, or SWCG on the high. Would the Hayward heater that's currently wired into the intermatic timer be able...

    Jandy into pump, Jandy or ball valves for backwash, and heater bypass. Check my work.

    Okay, it's go time, new Intelliflo 3hp pump (different size than my whisperflo) and new Aquastar filter. Will be replacing 20+ year old DE filter. New filter has inlet on left, outlet on right, and drain in front. Got lucky, it's very similar to the diagram. I have blue painters tape on my...

    What is the purpose or place of these 3 pad features?

    As I'm waiting for plaster (I think Tuesday, coming soon) I keep messing with my redesign plan for the pad. Very limited in space. Heater won't move, it's on the left side. Other than that, I have roughly 28 inches front back and 40 inches left-right. Currently it's Heater left, Pump middle...

    Primers, Cements, and Glue, oh my.

    I've seen videos with pool-tite, and with 746 heavy gray, 744 medium gray, purple primer, clear primer, clear cement, etc. I'd love to get clear primer and cement, but I can't seem to find any (unless I'm spending over $75, I guess.) What's the recommended choice (for the equipment pad)? I...

    Should I get a new main pump?

    I've seen several people mention Intelliflo 3. I'm on an old Whisperflo 3hp (probably at least 15-20 years old, before we bought the house.) Never really had issues with it. I imagine it could continue working. But... We are replacing our filter, (current target is Aquastar, partially because...

    What are these pipes?

    Pool is getting resurfaced. (if it ever stops raining!) And during the process, I'm going to replace this old DE filter with a cartridge filter. Planning to DIY, I mean it's just a bunch of pvc and gluing. I can manage that. (Famous last words, just before "Hello, Pool Guy? I think I made a...
