    Hayward tri star conversion to variable speed motor

    Its a Tristar Hayward 3210z1M is what is on the motor. Its a Century motor. I guess I just want to see if I can order any square flange with a threaded shaft VS motor. Is there any other recommendations?

    Hayward tri star conversion to variable speed motor

    Hello All, Has anyone converted a single speed motor to a variable. I see Inyopools has a kit but I can't get it ordered. What items do I need and can I use any square flange variable speed motor? Thanks Ty

    Baracuda Hoses

    Hello all, We have what I think is an older baracuda model automatic cleaner. The hoses that I have are in need of replacement due to cracking and deforming. I would like to go to a single solid hose instead of 8 or so separate lengths that connect together. Do they types of hoses matter per...

    I usually work 24h on and then 48h off. I have kids and New Years is not that important to me going out so I worked for another firefighter. He worked for me on Christmas eve. So after a short nap this morning.. Here are the results.. We stopped the slam last night due to practicality...

    My wife was able to add some today but unable to check it regularly. She doesn't seem to have the drive I do, nor the patience.. I suppose it could be the kids she is chasing around all day as well.. My marathon 48 hour shift at the fire department is ending in the AM so I will be able to...

    Will do. Thanks everyone for the help! I may end up having my wife just dump a large bottle of bleach in the AM and one in the PM for the next two days.. Do you think that may keep up with the "maintain." I only had to add a half of a bottle throughout the day today. You can't really over...

    Gotcha, Had to end the SLAM this evening due to my work schedule. I have had low chlorine levels for awhile now. I have brushed it a few times today. The filter is off now and I am doing an OCLT to see where I stand. I also have never done a rinse after backflushing because I couldn't read...

    So I take that it you can have algae with a pool that is not green? I always assumed that if the pool is some shade of blue or clear than there was no algae.. Since you mentioned it. The pump and filter have been running all day with no sand or "recurring dirt." You would think that would...

    I did not. Didn't realize it until we spoke. Going to do the OCLT tonight, I got a FC-16. Will be able to test again before I leave. If its way off I will shock again in the morning to get to shock level and have to try the SLAM again when I have the chance. Like I said the pool "looks"...

    SLAM process has began. I am worried that I will not be able to complete it.. I am a firefighter and go into work tomorrow for the next 48 hours.. We will see how today goes. The pool looks good so I dont think it should need too much. As far as the filter.. I have backwashed a bunch due to...

    Water is cloudy but can see the bottom pretty well in deep end. The CC came from the test instructions in the Taylor test kit. I am pretty sure I did it correctly. i believe the color was pretty light pink so it was difficult to tell exactly when it went clear. We did just have some issues...

    I will have to pick some up first thing tomorrow then. I have also read about a SLAM. Should I do that due to the chlorine level being so low? Another Que? My PH and TA are low according to pool math. Shall I get the chlorine in line first and then worry about those?
