Starting on high.

I have a Pentair 2 speed superflo pump model SF-N2-1A/340042. Motor is a 196030. It was running this morning when I turned it off, then cleaned out the basket. Went to restart and it just hummed. and then nothing (I have always had issues with it humming when it kicks off, but it eventually...

I might redo the connection from the out from the sand filter, place the FS on the horizontal and then run the SWCG vertical. That would cut out all the elbows. My SWCG will be wired into my pump timer.

Got my RJ Series in today! Salt added to pool and dissolved! I'm ready to install the SWCG.. Here's my current setup (First Pic). Second pic is proposed setup. This places both the Flow Sensor and SWCG on the horizontal. Will this work or do you guys have any other suggestions? Could I...

I have a 17K gallon Saltwater 8000 27' round pool from the Pool Factory and we are going on our third year and absolutely love it! Thank goodness for TFP test kits and this forum, I have had crystal clear water! When we bought the pool, I could not afford an SWG, but with the price of chlorine...

Opened by AGP and it's crystal clear!! Thanks TFP! My Chlorine was ZERO and my pH was 7.5ish and the total alkalinity was 70. I did the CYA test and it was ZERO. I'm curious if I should go ahead and get the chlorine up first and then check the CYA again. Or could my R-00013 be bad. It's...

Getting ready to winterize. Bought my cover and a bottle of Polyquat 60.. I have a bunch of empty gallon chlorine bottles. Has anyone used them as floats under the pool cover during winter? :) Thanks!

Awesome! That's good news to my ears! My weeks are full as well and less time manually cleaning means more time for other projects around the farm!

First time pool owner.. Ordered a Pentair Lil Shark and used it first time last night on 27' AGP. First impressions were messy, hard to set up.. gets caught on steps.. ran for 4 hours.. UGH... I hooked it up to a pole and manually vacuumed while walking around pool. Not my idea of...

Just picked up 6 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine from Wally World in NW Arkansas. $3.64/gallon.

Is the rhythmic droning noise harmful to the pump? I’d rather run it in low to save $$. I usually run at night for around 6-8 hours. This is all new to me so I’m still learning.

So I have a Pentair 1 HP SuperFlo with a 300lb Hayward sand filter plumbed with 1.5" PVC at about a 30' run. On high speed, the sound is steady and smooth as butter and the flow rate is awesome on my 17K AGP swirling the pool toys in a clockwise circle! Pressure on the sand filter on high is...

Awesome! Sounds like a great setup! I'm with you on the rain... UGH.. It seemed like every stinking weekend for the last two months it has rained... We finally got ours up and is filling. Son in law is working on electric today and will work on plumbing this weekend. Deck is forthcoming...

Here's pics of the armor pad, foam cove and finally the liner. I'm prepared for wrinkle battle!!

Nice! Good to see another Arkansan on the board! What kind of pool did you choose?

YES! It was a J-hook liner and it was super tight. So tight that the Shop Vac was doing very little to pull in the liner. But we worked it until no bottom wrinkles only a few in the sides, but then with about 6 inches of water, the side wrinkles went away. We did have a few issues with side...

Pool went up over Memorial Day! Filling now! Here are a few build pics! The padding is anti fatigue mats from Harbor Freight taped down with Gorilla tape! Super soft! Then the armor pad went on followed by the foam cove.

I ended up speaking to the Pool Factory again and I mentioned when I installed the liner, we did not do the 12, 3, 6 and 9 method. We just started on one side and worked our way around. We did notice that the liner was further away on one side of the pool vs. the other side when were started...

I spoke to the Pool Factory this morning and they told me that they think I don't have enough base material and/or enough cove. I have about an inch or so of sand as well as the 1/2" of antifatigue foam mats taped together as well as the Armour pad. He's telling me to add another couple inches...

I don't think it was from the ladder or anyone stood on the rail. The ladder has a ton of clearance. The liner was super tight. It's a J hook. It seemed as though one wall hung better against the wall than the side with the skimmer. That side, there was about a foot of play before it touched...

Here are some pics. I'm wondering if I continue to fill if the dents will pop out? The liner was super tight, but seemed to hang properly.
