Same thing happened to me a few years ago. I rolled off the solar cover and found a very large skunk floating dead in the pool. Like your husband I chucked the skunk in the woods behind our pool and shocked the pool. The only mistake I made was throwing the skunk in the woods. It smelled for...

I fixed the leak. :D The pump appeared to be leaking where the pump assembly attaches to the pump housing. I disassembled the pump yesterday morning and checked the seals/gaskets. I also confirmed that none of the pump parts were cracked or damaged. I reassembled taking extra care when...

Sounds right. I didn't take the pressure reading at the pump this time but I did with the old motor. The PSI at the pump was 3 PSI higher. I just noticed the pump is wet at the base. It is not leaking like before but it definitely looks like water is seeping out. I was very careful reassembling...

The new motor came today. Changing out the motor and changing the impeller, seals and gaskets went smoothly. Everything is running fine so far. Vacuum reading is 6 and pressure at the filter is 13. Using a calculator and the Hayward pump curve I end up with 37 TDH and about 57 GPM. Your...

I used your spreadsheets and decided to order the 1 HP A.O. Smith high efficiency motor UCT1102, the 1 HP impeller SPX2607C, and a GOKIT3SALT. After I hook everything up I will run some more tests and report the results. Thanks for your help.

I do have 1.5 plumbing and a 1.5 multiport. I also have a Pool Pilot Digital SWCG which also has a minimum flow rate but it is lower than the heat pump. How did you arrive at the GPM numbers? Are they based on the TDH calculations? I'm just trying to understand the process and wondering why...

Thanks for the response. My main concern is flow rate. My Heat Siphon heat pump requires a minimum of 25 GPM to operate. If I go with the smaller motor will there still be enough flow for the heat pump to operate?

Hi Everyone, My thirteen-years-old 1 1/2 HP Hayward Super Pump developed a slight seal leak and the casing is all rusted out so I decided to replace the motor. I have no clue if my pump was properly sized when the pool was built . Using gauges I took the following vacuum/pressure readings at...

Thanks! So for an SC-60/RC-52 cell would the following would be correct? SC-60 produces: 1.92 lbs (30.72 oz) per 24 hours @ power level 3 @ 100% 1.56 lbs (24.88 oz) per 24 hours @ power level 2 @ 100% 1.19 lbs (19.05 oz) per 24 hours @ power level 1 @ 100% SC-60/RC-52 Output Table in Ounces:

I have the Pool Pilot DIG-220 SC-60 cell which produces 1.92 lbs of chlorine per 24 hours when set at 100% on cell power 3. I was wondering if anyone knows the relationship between power levels and purifier percentage and could answer the following: At what rate does the production drop as you...

Hi Everyone! I'm thinking of installing a Pool Pilot Digital but I have a couple of questions: I know over sizing is recommended but would an RC-52 be overkill for my 25,000 gal pool or would an RC-42 be more appropriate? I have a vinyl liner pool and have basically ignored my calcium level...
