Marty, thanks for your input. I've done some more research on the Superflo this evening and had a couple questions Based on my low requirements, why go VS over a 2 speed pump? My energy costs are relatively low (<7 c/kwh)- a Hayward powerflow 1.5 hp matrix is $400 vs a $900 superflo.....might...

Additionally I'd like to stick with a major manufacturer to get parts more easily....while I try to order online sometimes being able to fix things mid project on a weekend is nice.

I will likely diy. From what I can tell the warranty requires a professional installer, which will probably take me 5 weeks, and install cost can be more than 50% of the pump... One of the things I saw when reading is a "minimum" or "ideal" flow for a filter, but I couldnt really decipher it...

I had a pentiar challenger pump, with a Century 1.5 HP motor and a SF of 1.10. The pump strainer pot cracked in the freeze which is going to run me about $150, and while it looks like the impeller is ok, I probably have some more expenses associated to this pump. Additionally, my mechanical...

Writing out my findings for posterity in case anyone finds this thread - I went back out to the pump today to try again. Discovered a crack in the trap assembly just below the strainer pot lid. I was trying to get the lid off and saw the entire body was twisting. Looked closely and the whole...

Yet to receive it, but based on my email confirmation its the RJ-45 Plus. I did not have any discussion on warranty.

Thanks folks....will try seal it up and see if I can get it to flow...otherwise I'll open it up and check the impeller

@wireform /@mknauss I just placed an order on a new DE from poolsupply world. Is there a good thread or overall benefits summary of cartridge filters? I've had pretty good success with my DE...and from my understanding is that if I do have an algae bloom DE is easier to deal with.

@ajw22 - if the impeller was cracked, would it still put out that little bit of water? @Jimrahbe - that's what I'm suspecting as well....I believe I'd need to replace this part, right? I'd check the impeller if I'm taking that part off at this point as well but probably won't get to that for a...

Yeah I still consider it a success :-)

Well....I get to buy a new $1200 filter (DE Filter - Texas Freeze) it seems so not really counting myself as that lucky!

All - I've been troubleshooting today after the wonderful texas deepfreeze. I know my DE filter is busted (DE Filter - Texas Freeze )and am trying to figure out if my pump is still ok so I can start ordering parts if needed. Since my filter is busted, I went ahead and disconnected it from the...

I believe they are the same company. I actually chatted with discount salt and they gave me the number (936-372-1515). Though when I called, my callerID identified it as Circupool.

My RJ45+ (just purchased August 2020) froze and shattered during the 2021 texas winter storm . On a whim, I called to see if warranty could cover, or if returning it for remanufacturing would save me any money. They offered a discounted price for people affected by the winter storm. I ended up...

As with the hundreds of others, my pool did not fare well in the deep Texas freeze. Specifically, my DE Filter cracked and my brand new RJ45+ shattered too. I finally took it apart the filter today, and it APPEARS as though my internal manifold, grids, and upper part of the shell all look...

I have the same issue in Dallas. Our pump was running but we lost power for 6 hours and everything froze over (including water in the SWG). Tried to turn my jandy valves and they are frozen up. My filter shows pressure at the operating level (~17 psi) even though nothing is running. Once the...

Marty - Yes I have a simpler timer setup for the pressure side cleaner, no freeze protection. It only gets power to run the booster pump when the main pump is on. Additionally my SWCG is wired to the main pump giving issue, so it runs only when my pump is on. basically everything is wired to...

Wow thanks...that is one expensive timer and slightly different than mine as it has specific timer dogs that can be pulled out. Any thoughts on why it may be giving trouble? I'm already looking at moving to a VS pump, if I'm going to spend $200 i'd probably just put it to a new unit

I have what I believe to be a 158T8454 timer (that's the only number I saw on the box....not sure if it's the correct one since googling doesn't show the same picture) The timer motor is working as I can hear it clicking and it rotates during the day, but when it becomes time to actually turn...

Thanks for the feedback and good eye! I will change out the fitting to a proper T. I'll attribute that error to prior owner, though I didn't know it was a problem :-) I ended up calling circupool, they actually state that the SWG needs to go after the booster pump (I found polaris confirm the...

Hi all, I'm having my pool pad leveled tomorrow (it pitches to the house several degrees), and will also be replumbing and adding in a SWG. Looking for some feedback in my plan! My main actions are A. Shift the booster inlet to the right, closer to the filter. B. After the booster inlet, add...

Thanks everyone for the replies!

@Ajw - Do you have a product you recommend? I saw this a few times across the TFP threads, so folks seem to have luck with it. That review is also 5+ years old

Purchasing and setting up a Circupool RJ45+ . Since I'll probably need a few hundred pounds, this seems to be the best price ($4.47). Is this the right salt I should be using? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Diamond-Crystal-Solar-Naturals-Water-Softener-Salt-Crystals-100012454/100172669
