Thanks for getting back to me. Got lucky! I was able to get a pump. I'm going to install it tomorrow (Sunday).

As I write this it's 8:47am on Saturday morning. Our Pentair Pump died. It was installed in July of 2014, so I'm not going to complain too much. Here's the problem. I need a pump now. We have a tropical storm headed our way (southern California) and we leave on vacation Tuesday for ten days. I...

Will do. Thanks Jim! ~Mike

Hi Allen, I don't see a specific model number listed. There is a part # 353114.D listed on a label on one side of the pump. The other side of the pump has a label stating it's Pentair Intelliflo Variable Speed Ultra Energy Efficient Pump with this number 354605.E I went to the LCD screen and...

Hello, Our Pentair Intelliflo Variable Speed Pump keeps lowering the RPMs on it's own. I assigned the following RPMs to these buttons. Button #1 = 1000 RPMs Button #2 = 2000 RPMs Button #3 = 3000 RPMs Button #4 = 3450 RPMs (maximum output) I run the pump from 9am to 3pm daily at 2000 RPMs, but...

Thanks mknauss!

On another note whilst I have you. I read an article from 2019 on TFP regarding the chemical numbers for a SWCG pool. Are those still what everyone is using? FC- 4-6 PH- 7.2-7.8 TA- 50-90 CH- 350-450 CYA- 60-90 Salt 200-400 PPM above recommended Borates 30-50 Being summer and a liquid chlorine...

Thank you!

Thank you. I see it.

Hi Felipe, In Pool Math, I clicked on "Effects of Adding" and selected SWG. I cannot locate the RJ60 box you indicated. What tab is that under? Thanks! ~Mike

Hi Felipe, Today is day 1. I currently have the filter, SWCG, etc. running from 9am until 3pm at 2000 RPMs. Thanks for the reply. ~Mike

SWCG is installed and running smoothly so far. The manual said to start it at 75% power and adjust from there. I decided to start it at 40% because the unit is so much larger than required for our size pool. I tried to post a picture of the finished install, but it keeps coming back "file to...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, the pool came with the house so everything is a guessing game. That 3/4" pipe with check valve is connected to the pool and spa return lines. Maybe to prevent the spa from draining into the pool when the pump is off? The consensus is this pool was built back in the...

Hello All, The RJ 60 arrived and I am beginning the installation process. I have read through their manual. We do not have an abundance of space for the cell. The easiest place to install it would be where I have drawn the arrow. I would just pull out all of the check valve plumbing (circled in...

For me it was when the poolman turned the pool green for the second time and told me we had to drain the pool (for a second time) within an eight week period. I found this website. Purchased the Taylor test kit and saw those floating pucks the poolman kept leaving in the pool raised the CYA to...

Copy. Thanks.

Thanks jark87. My PH climbs from 7.4 to 7.6 everyday. I add 13oz (per the Taylor booklet) of acid everyday to keep it in check. On another note. I was concerned about the water dropping so much everyday I did a bucket evaporation test this past weekend. I lose an 1" a day to the sun :-( I do...

Thank you for trying.

I do not have it do anything but turn the pump on and off. I run the pump at 2000 RPMs. If we want to use the spa I have to walk over to the pump and hit button #4 )the highest setting). Not sur I answered your question. Sorry if I didn't. We had the pebble tec re-done recently and their...

mknauss, I believe we have limited automation. The outside controller is an older model AquaLogic/ Goldline. We also have a wireless Goldline controller inside as well. The valves are Jandy hard-wired back to the controller. Are you thinking program the pool to run for X then have it...

Hello, I have read many of the previous posts on rising PH. I am also aware that agitation raises PH. But I assumed, incorrectly, it was serious agitation (waterfall, spa jets, etc.) you guys were referring to. What I didn't know was just the spillover from the spa to the pool raises PH. My...

Copy. Thanks.

Thanks for the insight Rattus. Yeah, I was referring only to the chemicals. I appreciate your taking the time to reply. When you say you have a system now for adding acid, is it one of those units using a Stenner pump and tank? Thanks, Mike

Thanks for your input!

Thanks jmastron. Great information. I'm not partial to any brand at this point, generic or otherwise. I just want to install a product that will do what it's supposed to do without a lot of problems. I'll definitely look into the Calimar product line. Would you happen to know how much chlorine...

At summer's peak you're still under 50%. That's fantastic. Everyone has been so kind filling me in about these things. I'm starting to believe these little som' ******* are the cure all of pool maintenance :cool:.

Thanks Eric. Your words, "measure twice/cut once!" were never truer.
