Pool company if youre afraid to cut the pipe

One allows more gallons per minute.

How old is it? Diaphragms need to be replaced regularly. What RPM are you setting your pump to get the cleaner to move?

Nothing to be done without an expensive solution. It should be fine. Vinyl liners dont last as long as they used to unfortunately. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

I personally have had good experience with the Vitrogreen brand of the product. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Bring your pH to 7.2 and keep it there to the best of your ability. The CSI really popular around here and with a CH that high you probably want to lower your pH into the "acidic" range to keep your water from percipating the calcium from solution. Not sure of everyones opinions of polymers like...

Usually those have to serviced by the installing company in my experience. Hopefully another poster has an idea Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

It works great, but I'd only use it if you get clean the filter with a hose and a little love. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

I would bring the pH down to 7.2-7.4. Did you open your filter or did a service? It's quite possible that DE is getting back into the pool from the grids either being misseated or have a tear. If the grids are solid and rigid they may have to be replaced, the pressure will bend them and allowing...

Tf-100. Fill the trunk with chlorine. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

You can get smaller variable speeds for half the price. Like their Jacuzzi 1.5hp. Or the superflo 1.5hp. Around 850 bucks from leslies Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

How long are you circulating the pump? Are you backwashing the sand? Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

With cartridge bigger is better, at the minimum based on the filter you have now you will want a 420sq, and ideally to prolong cleanings a 520sq. Pentairs clean and clear line is a good product. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Water is probably cleaner! Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Are you adding D.E. back into the skimmer? You need to recharge the grids each backwash with 2/3rds the capacity of your filter. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Just clean the filter.. its not a big deal. Go to the pool store and get some new D.E? Food grade D.E. just doesnt have the same amount of surface area, so it isn't ideal. its great for killing insects tho! Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

DE coming back into the water happens when the grids are broken, torn or not placed on the manifold correctly. If you overload the grids, DE may come-back into the water Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

You're going to want flow going to your chlorinator. I sell replacement parts to new VSP owners because the flow dissolves the tablets into a nice chalk that gums the line and destorys the regulator, o ring and tubes. They make new chlorinators for this reason, obviously don't go out and spend...

If the pathway is restricted you're not going to want to choke the water with a smaller pipe the pump will have to work harder to get the same flow through the pipe. It can all be done, you'll probably be running at around 2.2-2.4k RPMs which is still 60 more efficient than your old single...

Chances are pool store isn't fibbing. They would be more than willing to sell you the system... Do you have hard pvc plumbing or is it flex tubing? Does your area have long freezes? Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Keep in mind if you install the pump yourself, you only get a 60 day warranty and you don't qualify for your electric rebate. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Jacuzzi has new pumps on the market if you want to stick with the same brand. Otherwise the pentair 1.5hp vsp superflo or 3hp pentair vsp intelliflo Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

You can install something called a 'check valve' which will hold the water inside the pump near the base of the pipe. The valve only allows one direction of flow, so if you lose power or the pump stops the valve stays closed since it wont move in the other direction. Variable speeds are still...
