I was faced with needing a new pump... After a bunch of research... decided on a 2 speed pump with 2" in/out... Did what was suggested above on the suction side... And when I took things apart, found on the output of the pump... the previous install had 1.5" pipe inside the 2" pipe... Strange...

Please do not take this as me being a smart @$$... However the chart noted, discusses outdoor pools... In my posts, I was asking about whether my pool came under the heading of indoor, semi-outdoor, or something else... And as noted in the OP... in the article sighted... The comment was made...

Thank you.... Did the Pool math (could not find it on the site, thx for the link)... Looks like about 75# of Calcium Chloride to get the CH up... And 8# of 'stabilizer' to get the CYA up... Another question if I may... Chlorine seems high... Is there a way to lower it??? Or should I simply...

THX for the reply... SWG is a Hayward, with a T15 cell... it has been set on 75%... currently the chlorine is a bit high, so I turned it off a day or so ago. I was running the pump on high for 7 hours a day to run the solar and get the temp up (since there is not direct sunlight, the pool warms...

Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread... I was reading about chemicals and the page said to ask on the forum about CYA levels and indoor pools... My pool is about 30K gallons, oval, gunite... with a Hayward DE6020 filter and a new WhisperFlow 1HP 2 speed pump. What is unique...

Update... I have been talking to some local folks... did not realize one of my neighbors works for a local pool company (Sunbelt)... Anyhow, I hear again and again... to use a booster pump for the solar, and size the main pump for without solar. Now given that I have a SuperFlo 1HP (SF...

THX for the replies... I put a new O-ring in the pump (Pentair part)... did not help... It appears there is a hairline crack in the pump housing... as well as the strainer cover not sealing. IMO I need a new pump. Specific question... When calculating head... when adding the head for the...

WOW... THANK YOU all for the responses... Being a newbee to pools... I do appreciate all the information I can stuff in my head... grin! I am a 'why' kind of person... when I understand the 'whys' behind something... it is easy to figure out what to do. Rules without whys just do not work well...

First, THX for having this forum available... Being a new pool owner (bought the house with a pool), this forum is appreciated... lots to learn! A word of introduction... I run a small heating and AC company... so the ability to figure out things, do electrical and plumbing, etc... is just...

Good morning Jim, THX for the feedback... this pool thing is new to me... lots to learn! I may need to modify my sig line slightly... I was told by the seller the pool is 40K gal... after measuring it repeatedly and doing the math... it comers out closer to 35K (including the SPA). Also... the...

Currently, my pump is howling and needs to be replaced... Being a new pool owner (bought the house with a pool)... I am reading up on pumps here at TFP. I also run a heating and AC company... and have found a small number of folks that make purchase decisions almost exclusively by the...

WOW... That is good to know! I had read some about pumps... I need a new one... and was dismayed with the warranty stuff (no warranty if not installed by a pool guy). If I qualify for warranty installs... that is definitely good to know! Who or where would I inquire to verify this??? THX JawJa
