I'm pump shopping at the moment. I settled on the 3hp intelliflo3. I was at the store ready to purchase. they had a sample on the showroom floor. The pump is quite a bit larger than my whisperflo. Every week or two I have to stick my fingers in the pump to pull a bit of hair or tree needles...

Heliocol West is/was probably the biggest pool solar heating installer in the southwest. They've changed their name to Sunsplash Solar Sunsplash | Homepage and are now selling different panels. The new brand (their own brand) is called SunXtreme https://sunxtreme.com/ The panels are similar...

I'm considering replacing my panel with an intellicenter. I'm trying to understand if a wifi antenna is included with the unit. Another thread references pentair part number 523434 which has a cost of ~$350. Is this required to actually connect wirelessly to the panel?

We're looking to install solar heat. Our pool once had solar heat but the panels were removed from the roof before we bought the home. I'm thinking we'll be using the solar cover less and therefore consume more chlorine. A SWG is making a lot of sense. I think the pump will be running more...

I believe I'm in need of leak detection service. For the last few months I've noticed more and more moisture near the equipment pad. Near the pad are a couple palm trees that are looking worse and worse. We suspect the pool plumbing is leaking and exposing these plants to chlorine. I'm...

I was reviewing the two different liquid acid options offered by Home Depot and noticed something that seems incorrect. Home Depot sells two options to my knowledge: A two pack of 1 gallon jugs, one offers 14.5% hydrogen chloride, the other offers 31.45% (per the labels). Reading further...

Just curious if anybody had discovered sunglasses or a coating (hydrophobic?) for sunglasses that prevents/eliminates water spots?

Since assuming ownership of our pool last fall I've done my of my water sampling from the same area of the pool...near a return in the deep end. I get the sample roughly elbow deep. Our pH tends toward the high side (7.8). I'm typically adding acid at least once a week. On Friday we had a...

We received the speedstir for Christmas 2019. It sees only occasional use as we only bring it out when testing TA and CH. It worked fine (probably used ten times) until this weekend. The bar doesn't spin consistently....it will spin for a bit then tumble around. Batteries tested 1.5V. Still...

Still new to pool ownership. It's been going great following TFP since taking ownership. We seem to be slowly accumulating a white line at the water line on the faux stone portion of the pool perimeter. We're also seeing some to form at the grout between the tiles. Is this calcium? Is there...

I've attached a photo of my panel. You can see I have a simple mechanical timer. I haven't taken the time to remove the blue portion of the panel to get more details on the timer. I'm hoping for suggestions on what I can do with this setup to get the pump to run automatically when there's a...

Hi folks. Could use a little guidance here. When I took ownership of my pool a month ago ph was high. I've lowered it with acid within acceptable range. It does seem to want to climb back up. TA is high at about 125. I've been adding quite a bit of acid but it doesn't seem to want to...
