I have Pentair VS pump set at 1800 Rpm’s and have had this as the default for the last 7 years. This year it seems like the first jet is pressurized and working fine but the other 4 are not pushing water unless I increase the speed at the pump 3-400 rpm’s. What could be causing the issue?

Hi guys have a pentagram intelliflow vs that was whining the other day and I didn’t get a chance to look at it and of course today I went out a found an error that said overload. Last year I replaced the electronic module. Did the motor seize maybe seize? Replace the whole pump or is it easy to...

Have a stamped concrete deck that is about 8 years old. Some parts seem to be fading a bit. I wanted to restain it but I’m not sure what product to use. I’m usually a diy’er so thinking I could tackle it. Any suggestions on approach or product to use ?

Wondering if my motor somehow seized or if its something else I can't figure out. I tried testing it with multi meter and disconnected the cord from the motor and was receiving ~28V which is what I read is expected. Didn't smell like anything was shorted. anything else to check? its about 5...

hi guys, just got a new IC60 after my last one failed after only 3 seasons in the northeast. i was mostly running at 40% for about 12hours/day at 1700 rpm's with my intelliflow VS and i cleaned it typically 1x during season and 1x at end. Probably too much from what i have reading on the...

hi guys, Need some help please!?? just got back from a work trip yesterday and found my pump display was off. I checked the obvious plug and breakers and everything seemed fine. Is there a fuse on the pump itself or what is the best way to troubleshoot? My next step was going to make sure I...

Just had our hottub installed and had stamped concrete done as the deck to match the pool. The concrete coloring got into the hot tub water. Is there anything that I can use to get it out or do I have to drain it and clean it out? It’s not a great picture but all I have now

Is there a way to test how much bromide reserve is in the water? I accidentally added 2x as much as what was called for. Is this dangerous and or how do I fix this? Is a drain and refill required?

i have a 525 gallon in ground spa separate from my IG pool. I added 2 oz of bromide to start and when i tested it had a zero reading. Do i have some kind of bacteria? I added a 2 more oz tested again after 15 minutes and still no Br reading. what is my next step?

Looking for suggestions or recommendations regarding this company or a similar one. I found them online when researching but they are a Canadian company and I can’t find many reviews around. I am looking to put an in ground spa in that’s big enough for my family and friends to enjoy. I don’t...

hi- first this site has been great for me learning how to have a trouble free pool and saving money so thanks to everyone for that. i just opened the pool 2 weeks ago seemed to get everything lined up pretty well. The TA was a little high at around 95ish. I checked the pool again yesterday...

First time pool owner. Just got my tf-100 today and just finished testing. Performed each test at least twice to make sure I got same results. So here they are. Currently pool is pretty clear but deep end seems a tiny bit hazy. I shocked the pool last Saturday with 6 gallons of shock 12.5%. I...

FIrst time pool owner. Installed a pentair IC60 on saturday. My question is what is the most efficient speed for this pump and is there a calculation to determine how much chlorine output i should have the SWG on or is it trial by fire? Once i get the pool balanced i am going to attempt to...
