Anyone know if these work? https://www.amazon.com/Betta-Automatic-Chip-Controlled-Chlorine-Tolerant/dp/B09XBP6GG3 $500 for me to not have to do so much skimming of the surface to make sure the pool is good at all times, I'll be all over it.

OK, HP 900 Thermal Flow Pentair. I have an Intelli Touch controller and it has a relay dry contact output that is wired to the heat pump to turn it on. Worked past 3 seasons just fine. recently my Run cap went bad and when I got it working, I was having to manually operate the heat pump at the...

thx for all the help swamprat. I got a 50/7.5 at a local Aireco supply store. And its the diameter of the original so it fits in the strap that was there unlike the one I pulled. Installed and its up and working! Cold air coming out the top and temp of air out of the top is about 20F cooler...

swamp, thanks. I pulled the cover and found the cap. I could tell before pulling the cover off that someone has been into this unit before me as several screws were missing and the little metal clip nuts were gone. The cap in there was swolen. Not only that, it was a 70/7.5 not a 50/7.5 I'm...

Pentair HP 900 So, I thought It was working a few days ago and was warming up pool and noticed today the temperature went back down. My normal pool guy does not repair heat pumps. The fan would not spin, so I gave flicked it with a stick and it spun. So I know its likely just the starting...

2 hours. Is there a way to change the backup valve timing?

I have a Polaris 280 that I rebuilt the insides last year. It tends to favor the deep end and does not clean the shallow end very well. It also tangles up at the wall alot/eventually. I just replaced the hose and added a swivel at one of the longer hoses. I could add another swivel. It...

with a constant pump RPM, flow can change with a dirty filter so don't get too close to the tripping point. Switches also can change the trip point at different temperatures also. Whether its a salt cell or heat pump, good thing to know where it trips and keep it running enough above that for...

Well, the guys from same company backwashed and at least rinsed the filter. Those guys were the ones that serviced stuff all year. I think they either thought it was something different or did not follow any sort of checklist. It says right on the side what kind of filter it is. A sand...

Well, The guys that opened my pool did not put DE in. It was about 8 days and seemed like the pool was not filtering. I was gone a few days and my first clue was the pressure seemed high. I have a variable speed pump and it normally runs so low that the needle barely moves. I have to check...

They are about 12" long or so.

So, a number of anchor in pipes came out of the mulch area after some heavy snow. Seems like they were just pounded into the ground. Should I place them in then secure them a little better with some concrete mix like I would a fence post or mail box post?

The forces you can produce through suction are nothing like what you can produce with Pressure. A pump also depends on the other end being fully into water to self prime. If you have air on the end, you will have water in the lines. I am not sure how much water is going to be left but you are...

OK, Leaves getting into pool. I don't want to close my pool until like Nov. But the kids are done swimming. I was thinking to put the pool cover on now. It is what I think is mesh and water can seep through the middle of it I think. I would leave a corner flap unhooked and I still have some...

Dohp. Thats what I get for not having my glasses on. That being said, why get that from pool builder?

I would be spending too much time if I manually cleaned my pool. Might I suggest putting the $1000 to an electric robot cleaner. Look into that. You don't need to go through your builder for that. Plenty of suggestions/reviews here on the forum for those. For a robot cleaner, you don't need...

The Polaris 360 is used with a Booster Pump, not the jet return from your main pump. The booster pump is going to come off the main pipe usually just before the returns into the ground. The booster pump looks like this: Polaris PB4-60 Booster Pump See the round pump on the output? It is a...

Belt driven wheels right? Its likely as said a blockage or possibly belt slipping. I don't have a 380 but if its slipping, there may be a way to adjust belt tension. Checked your RPMS to verify they are within spec?

The new backup valve was faulty? I have an older 280 and nothing comes out (tiny trickle maybe) of my backup valve when its not engaged.

Right, I actually timed it last night. It the well pump running at 5mins on and 1 minute off. I have one more hose bib in the parking area I can try to run to the pool next time I have to fill. I'll need some more hose to do that but will get some the next time I have to do this. Yea, I...

Once you know what you have, its usually not hard to find an MSDS for it. But sometimes the MSDS is vaugue and can give "ranges" like this stuff: Hydropool.com | POOLIFE TurboShock 78% Pool Shock 1 lb - Item 22405 https://www.hydropool.com/downloads/MSDS/poolife/poolife-turbo-shock-msds.pdf

All done. Used the main drain of the Intex, a spare hose and the sump pump to put the water back in. Took about an hour till there was about 1-2" left in the Intex, then all the work started to get the last bit out. I still had to put in about 700 more gallons with the well water back into the...

Question, as I have been seeing some funky business on my pump since switching from having it hard wired to the pool output relay to being controlled by the serial port. Is there a setting in a VS pump to control the timeout time it uses to determine it is no longer being controlled by the...

Hmm, Here's another thought as I've had to do this before (not on a pool but my house where I did not want to bust the wall open under a sink) I used my Dremel with the router attachment. That way I could set the depth of the cut. This was on a drain so I was not as worried as I would have to be...
