Thanks for your reply and time. I did update my signature. Answer to your first question: about 5 hours. I did the CYA test using the taylor kit. Also It was not a sunny day. Lastly, its not like the pool is green full of algae, its only in a few spots Thanks

Updated signature and location. Thanks for the replies....I think I will have to start all over again.

Hello, My pool has a little algae problem (Only a few spots of green algae). I tried to SLAM it, however, during the day FC levels went down dramatically. Its hard to keep pouring liquid chlorine (since its a little hard to find). So instead of wasting, I wanted to check if I am doing the right...

I was not too sure if I would get attention regarding the plumbing issue, so I started a new thread...(sorry about that :( Pump plumbing dilemma but here is the same pic

The grey pipe is about 1 inch. I thought about cutting it there and connecting a new coupling, but wasn't too sure if that would hold up to the pressure.

Tom, thanks for your time and reply. I reviewed the whisperflo manual and it too describes two different part numbers for before and after 1998. The only question is to decide when my pump was made. Based on the metallic clamp style lid, I am making a bet that it was before 1998. So I guess I...

I currently have a wfds-8 whisperflo 2 hp 2 speed pump, which has died. I wanted to replace it with the same but Amazon and my local stores don't have it in stock. I started reading about Pentair intelliflo VS 11018 and it looks like a good prospect. I have several considerations though: 1)...
