Thanks mdragger. I will continue slamming but I was asking if my pool guy's advice to NOT replace DE until I sweep up all the DE that lines the bottom of my is removed is sound. A torn grid allowed DE into the pool without me noticing it until the pool was clarified after 10 days of slamming. Thanks

So it turns out that I had a tear in one of my DE Filter grids = approximately 12 lbs of DE had passed thru and some ended on bottom of pool. This was after 10+ days of Slamming. - the grid has since been replaced - the motor has since been replaced to VS - I have cleaned the DE Filter this...

Thanks everyone. I was not aware of SLAM prior and was relying on a "pool guy's" recommendation. No more. Also I was referring to general chlorine "kit" results initially; have tested FC +CC since then. Results since Friday night running pump 24/7: CYA 40 FC 19 I realize it should be at 16 but...

I have an orange, blue, red and green wire that was connected to my old Pentair pump but three connectors for new ultra flow VS . My old pump was a 2speed so not sure if that is why? I know the green goes to my green ground and red to one of the other two connectors but not sure about the...

Actually I do have another question re: replacing pump. It is leaking out of the volute so am I actually replacing the volute or having to replace the motor and volute? They are separate parts. Thanks

Thanks folks. I appreciate it

Thanks. Was leaning that way but wanted more insight. Are they easy to install and would u recommend the 1 speed or stay with the 2 speed Motor? Thanks
