    pool heater info needed

    Hi again! Searching for an electric pool heater. Probably looking at a 127 BTU. Any suggestions? Wondering about a Sunrunner 1300 or Jacuzzi J-H127.... Also, other question: how can I find a previous post I had without going through pages and pages? Trying to search by subject line but not...

    need pump information

    is it worth going with this one (Intelliflo) even if we only have a 10000 gal pool (concern is too much power for the 2" piping)? We may put in a heater in the near future. If it comes down to it, we would prefer to pay more up front and have it last and be "what we need" down the road.

    need pump information

    I see the biggest disadvantage of a Pentair is their warranty since my husband would be doing the install. Any suggestions for a pump with an "easier" warranty? We are leaning towards a variable speed...

    need pump information

    we do not use a typical vacuum for cleaning our pool--pump/filtration system does not get used. The Dolphin Premier robot is its own "system"--it has its own vacuum via the robot/control set up. It has its own filtration system like a vacuum bag that runs on a regular wall outlet. Also we do...

    New Owner, very cloudy pool, please help!

    We had very cloudy water last year and it was due to phosphates; once we put in the chemicals and ran filter and cleaned filter as prescribed it was gorgeous crystal clear again. Year before that we had yellow algae that clouded it so put in a chemical for that (can't remember the name but found...

    need pump information

    Hi, I am new to the forum although I have been reading lots of great Q and As which is why I joined. Great information but some of it is from awhile back so will ask fresh: Our pump is about to go--we know this because it has become VERY loud and sounds as if straining and ready to blow...
