Gotcha. Both of the fittings on the sand filter appear to be 2.5" does that sound right? Here is another angle of the booster pump. I have a dolphin now, so I guess I should cap that off? As for chlorination, I am low on tabs so I should evolve there as well. You've been very helpful, I...

I will be installing a CaliMar Variable Speed CMARVSP3.0 but I don't know the names for the parts I will need. Here is a picture of how it sits currently. Since the pump has 2" fittings, I was thinking it would be in my best interest to bring this up to 2" from 1.5" with the previous setup...

Fair enough. Are Pentair units OK without SVRS? I've read threads here where people hoped to get 3 years out of the Calimar. My Lowes special lasted 8 years and would still be running if not for an ill-timed power outage.

I have a STA-RITE-MAX-E-PRO pump model #C48J2PA105C1. The pump housing has a 3" threaded connection on the top and front side. The model # is UT1100IGPP. The housing is split, when I apply power it squirts out strong so I would assume the motor is OK. I'm asking for advice on what to order to...

Any beer home brewers? Years ago I did some with a friend but he had the gear and the knowledge. Does anyone have a forum or somewhere I can go read up and learn about it? Thanks
