    New Pump & SWG Questions

    Just had my pump replaced with the intellipro VSF and had intellichlor IC 40 installed. It seems they installed it so that the SWG is always on whenever the pump is on. They wired it to the load side of the pump is what they said. Is that correct? I was only planning to have the SWG run for...

    Getting DE out of the pool

    I recently took apart my DE filter to clean the grids. I checked and there were no holes in the grids and no crack in the manifold. I put it all back together after cleaning it. I turned it on, bled the air out and then slowly poured in the DE slurry mix into a skimmer. I then noticed about an...

    Remove Cleaner w/Filter Running

    Should I be able to unhook the cleaner from the side of the pool with the filter running? I have a booster pump and I turn that off but I'm not able to unhook the hose from the side of the pool if the filter is still running. I notice that when I do unhook the hose and turn the filter back on...
