I'm lost with options and the people I know to install it aren't much help. I currently have a 48 Pentair DE filter. I'm considering replacing it with a 320sqft clean and clear. I'm not sure if i'm going to regret this. It seems like I'll save about $300 by doing this compared to replacing...

I came outside with the pump running to see a stream of water on the ground. The filter has development cracks. I guess I'm lucky it didn't blow up. Now I need to find a replacement. What affordable options do I have?

I have avoided robots because I heard you have to put it in and take it out after each cycle. That's just too much for me...

What had been your experience with this cleaner? I'm ready to throw my Hayward Navigator as far over the back fence as I can fling it. I was considering a pressure side as I don't have a vacuum port and hate losing my skimmer, but I've heard from a few people now that they are pretty high...

What has caused it? Age? What does new plaster entail? What's the normal life span?

I'm not completely sure. I purchased the home 3 years ago. At that point I was told it was "redone" 10 years ago. The seller was an elderly lady in very poor health. It wasn't taken care of when we took when we purchased it.

Just read the article. Here are some pictures. Its like its brittle and crumbles. I noticed the first time earlier in the year but I thought it was cause my kids threw some rocks in the pool and that damaged it. The spa are has really gone south quick in the last 2 weeks.

Hello, I'm trying to figure out what is going on with my plaster. In the last several months I've noticed the plaster bubbling and then breaking. I've struggled with PH and ALK since adding swg. I'm not sure if that makes a difference in the plaster. Both have been high... not sure where to...

I found it for the same cost as the 011028.

Thank you. Just scared. Lots of negativity outside of this forum on the topic, so I just want to make sure i'm doing it right.

I'm about to order the equipment and have been doing research. Any final things that I should be aware of or concerned about? I have a 10k pool. Looking at getting the Pentair IC40. Also upgrading my pump from single speed to Intelliflo VSF. Some of the negative talk out there about...

I'm not seeing any out there with great reviews. Does the product not exist?

Just found my manual that came with the heater. The salt PPM is stated at 3200, not to exceed 5,000. Which is within range of the SWG....

I'm starting some research on SWG and speaking to a few local installers. One of them mentioned to me that I really need to have a cupro nickel exchange otherwise it will fail. I currently have a Pentair Mastertemp 460736 heater. He is telling me it not cupro nickel and mentioned that he can...

Do I need to do anything more than slam?

What about pump run times? Currently I only run 2 hours in the summer. 1 in the winter. I have an old pump and at those run times it hasn't made much sense to upgrade to something more efficient. How many hours does it need to run to maintain proper levels?

What do i need to consider? Plaster pool. Plaster is 10 to 15 years old. Pool was built in mid 80s. I know i have some copper pipes. Any concerns with switching? I'm tired of jugs and trying to time adding bleach when my pumps are on....

alright, i'm off over the weekend, maybe I can speed through i now, rather than just testing in the morning and evening.

Should I be testing my water and adding chlorine during the day when the sun is directly shining on the pool? I normally do not do this, but I wasn't sure if I should be fighting the chlorine loss due to UV as well as the junk in the water...

Kriss cross manner? I have 1 knob to twist.

Pump kicked on tonight as scheduled, no leaks. Thank god. Case closed.

I stepped away for a bit to research how much fill dirt and cement it would take to fill my pool in. Came back out and the leaks stopped. Maybe the pressure allowed it to settled in?

Ok this thing is driving me nuts. I took it apart to clean it. While putting it back together i couldn't stop it from leaking. I determined that the band clamp needed replaced. I installed the new one. I've done everything that I could find to install it correctly and prevent leaks. O...

Thanks!

Where is a good place to find parts and part numbers. I'm having no luck.

I've owned the home a year. Back washed it twice. This is the first time I cleaned the grids.

i'll have to look at the model, but its a 48 sq inch
