You should always get a larger unit than you need. I have an RJ-45 that I use with a 24 foot round (13,500 gallons) and could have technically been okay with an RJ-30. However, I ran it at about 65% all summer last year (I live in Texas, South of Fort Worth). Now I am not sure the RJ-30 would...

I have a Dolphin E10, that I use in a 24 foot Aurora salt water Above Ground Pool. I have a ladder that is open on the back. The Dolphin E10 is good cleaner, as long as you have the basket that collects fine particles/silt. However, it constantly wraps itself around the ladder. Does anyone have...

Welcome!

Welcome! This is a great place to learn.

Welcome! North Texas here. Just south of DFW. You and I will have similar climates. We can learn from each other.

Welcome. Lots of help here about everything pool related.

Just go to home depot and buy a 120 end to wire on the end of the cable that comes out of the controller. I had to install a jumper in the control unit of my RJ-45 to make it 120 instead of 240. You probably read about that already earlier in this thread.

Here is the option I went with. I am pretty happy so far. I leave it on low speed 24/7 except when vacuuming. --> Hayward Pumps

I bought one of these tonight, I hope it was a good decision. I have a lot of fine silt, or dead algae that constantly settles, I hope this will pick that up. I bought the ultra fine filter basked to go with it. let me know how yours does with fine silt and dead algae. my old aquabot...

Do you guys have the ultra fine filter? does it get the fine silt? Or does the silt still settle a couple hours after the Dolphin is finished? Do you still have to vacuum all the silt up?

So, I am running new piping, down the pool, underground about 20 feet to behind my shed where I am putting the filter, pump, and SWCG. I was going to run 2" Pipe. The Hayward 1.5 HP 2 spd Pump I purchased has 1.5 inch interior threads. However it also has exterior threads. Are those exterior...

So... I need to run an 8 gauge bare copper wire all the way around my pool, bury it 6 inches. Then I need to run a wire from my SWCG unit, to the Hayward pump, and then to the loop. then from a skimmer metal piec down to the loop. Wow..... I never did any of this to my last pool. I have also...

thanks for the info on the pump. The link did not take me to an article. can you post it differently? My pool does not currently have a light.

I installed the jumpers, should be ready to go. When I was reading the install manual it mentioned that "when using a VS or multi spd pump on low speed setting, or for general circumstances where flow is less than adequate, the cell must be inverted in order to ensure adequate flow and...

I have had a 24' round ABG since 2008, and I never had it bonded? Should I have? The reason it is coming to question is that I am replacing that pool now, and installing an SWCG and new 24' ABG (sunk half way in the ground). When reading about the install of the SWCG, it talks about having to...

That's exactly what I was planning to do - run extra wiring (or at least a rope to pull wires through) so that if/when this pump goes out and I have to go with a VS pump that is 220, then I would already have the wiring there. I dont currently have wiring to this area where the wiring is going...

Good info, thank you, Neighbor. Do you have the 2 GFCI oputlets on separate Breakers? or the same breaker? and is it a 20 Amp Breaker? so, in other words, I guess wihat I am am trying to determine is if the SWCG and the pump are running at the same time will it blow the breaker if they are...

I purchased an auroroa 24' round pool and replacing the one I have, it should be here next week, pool is scheduled to be installed on Nov. 11, digging it down 27 inches. I am relocating pump and filter tp behind my shed so am running new wiring for that (run through pipe underground). I bought...

Okay, here is where I am at now. I decided that I am going to buy the Aurora pool, but we are going to stick with the same size we have now - 24' round. I have not ordered it yet. They are having a 20% off sale right now, but they extend the sale every time it is supposed to be over, lol. I...

I bought the same pump as you for my pool. It was on EBAY for $379 - $30 cheaper than the sellers online store price. I hope I made the right choice and that it lasts quite a while. It was much cheaper than the VS pumps I looked at. I appreciate everyone's input on this topic. Now I just have...

if a pump does not say that it is "salt" friendly, will it still be okay? I was looking at this Hayward Matrix 2 speed pump. What do you think? I know both of you guys have a hayward matrix pump. Was it listed as a salt water pump?

Does anyone know anything about CIPU pumps? --> Amazon - CIPU Pump

Now I really dont know what to get. I was wondering why I was having a difficult time finding 2 speed pumps.

Wow..... that muddied the waters a little.

okay, thanks.

I have a 24' abg pool that is old and I am replacing with an Aurora Resin Wall saltwater pool and Circupool Edge-40 swcg (I think, maybe the rj-45). I have a single speed 1.5 HP pump right now, sand filter, but think I should go to a 2 speed pump. However, I am not sure exactly the best way to...

Dont use a cover. Just keep up with the leaves.

I completely agree with Reggie. However, I live in Texas. But even here the pool store said I should cover it, winterize it, etc., and I did a few years, but was buying another cover every year. I started just leaving it open, making sure the pump ran 24/7 during colder weeks, and like...

So, I have decided to go ahead and buy the aurora, probably 27’ round. When is The best time to buy? Does the pool factory have sales during the winter time?

Thanks so much, that helps a lot
