I have a Pentair Warrior SE robotic pool cleaner, which I think is the same model as Dolphin S200 and Dolphin Active 20. It first stopped working under warranty, and after Pentair sent me a replacement motor, I opened up the unit and found the remains of a lizard in the impeller. I cleaned it...

Hello all. So my pool developed mustard algae, I think after the chlorine level decreased when I left town and with the heat and water evaporation, the water level went below the skimmer and warped some of the pipes, making the pump lose prime and stop working. The mustard algae, which I had...

For some time I kept overlooking the stuff I could brush off the floor of my pool that looked like slightly greenish (on a light blue Diamond Brite) dirt. I thought when I replaced my robotic pool cleaner, that would fix the problem. Just of note - I've read several posts here when people ask if...

I replaced the impeller on my Jandy Zodiac FloPro FHPM 2.0-2 with a 0.75 HP impeller to try to get better energy efficiency. I have 9 Heliocol HC50 solar panels on my roof, which is 25' high. The solar was working fine with the 2.0-HP impeller in high-speed mode. When I changed to the 0.75 HP...

Thanks to you all for all the help with the issues I had getting my nine Heliocol HC-50 solar panels to work: http://www.troublefreepool.com/pump-power-w-different-impellers-2-speed-vs-vs-w-solar-t70827.html Unfortunately as time went on, I found out that my installer knew less and less about...

I replaced the impeller on my Jandy Zodiac FloPro FHPM 2.0-2 with a 0.75 HP impeller to try to get better energy efficiency. I was under the impression from what I'd read here that replacing a 2.0 HP impeller w/ a 0.75 HP impeller was equivalent for installing a 0.75 HP pump. I tested amps to...

I just installed Heliocol solar panels. Although I can hear/feel the solar on in the pipes beyond the valve (in addition to seeing my iAqualink tell me it's on and seeing to control valve turned on), but it's not heating enough. My pump is a fairly new 2-speed: Jandy Zodiac FloPro FHPM 2.0-2. I...

Hello. I just had solar panels installed. I have a 2-speed pump, and the solar controller is set up to switch the pump into high speed when solar heating is needed. When my pool was set up, the installers set it so that the salt water chlorinator only runs in low-speed mode. Their explanation as...

I am planning on installing 450 ft2 of solar heating panels (9 panels of Heliocol HC-50, 4 x 12.5 ft. each) using 2" pipes. I currently have a Jandy Zodiac FloPro FHPM 2.0 2-speed pump. I will need to run the pump in high-speed mode when solar is on, and low-speed mode otherwise. After...

I have some questions related to pumps for a solar heating system. Thanks for any help in advance. I just installed a pool, and they installed two pumps: pool: Jandy Zodiac FloPro FHPM 2.0-2 dual speed: HP 2.0 & 0.25 spa: Jandy Zodiac Stealth Pro Series, SHPF3.0 HP 3.0. The pumps’...

Hi everyone, a simple question about Calcium Hardness (CH). The new plaster on my pool is now a few days under 2 months old. I had the impression from reading other topics in this forum that new plaster tends to leak calcium into the pool. I measured CH: on 4/27: 160 5/11: 130 I thought maybe...

Split by moderator - Please start your own topic and do not hijack. Thanks, jblizzle It sounds like people on this site are very satisfied with both Heliocol and Aquatherm. I am looking to add solar heating to my pool. It has 450 ft2 surface area, and there is a screen enclosure with 80% sun...
