    Another dual filter thread, but different

    Understood 1poolman1, I very well might just do the sand filter alone with the DE or Earth Friendly DE mod, I actually do have a Variable speed pump now. It was a max e glas 2.25hp and now its a max e glas with 3hp guts and an AVSS3 VS motor, or it will be when I get it all assembled. Running...

    Another dual filter thread, but different

    Howdy, I have read several dual filter threads and generally they are not advisable and of moderately low usefulness. However I feel I have a unique pool situation. I have a ~40k gallon pool with a hayward 60sq ft DE filter (I think so anyway, its 46" tall so that matches). Our pool is on a...

    VS motor buying options.

    My automation will be custom, I build my own. Ultimately before summer I intend to install a Hotspot FPH on my 2 AC units to dump heat into the pool, everything will work on 24v but my automation uses microcontrollers attached to relays I program. One flow rate will be low all day cleaning, a...

    VS motor buying options.

    So I have a single speed pool pump, it's a very loud and fairly old 2.25 HP Max-e-glas. It likely has had at least 3 motors on it, the last I replaced myself. My plumbing is all 2" except my cleaner pipe, that's 1.5" and the pool is very large. So I am looking to replace it with a VS motor or...

    Hotspot FPH plumbing questions

    OK so I'm looking into both right now, I can buy a square flange V-Green 2.7 HP which is a little more than my 2.25 single speed. Do I need to go as big as my single speed because if not I could do with a less expensive 1.6hp V-Green (I want a WiFi controllable one). My only concern with...

    Hotspot FPH plumbing questions

    Howdy James, The FPH guys say I need 38gpm. Installing a variable speed pump is not out of the question. I just had no pool knowledge at the time and replaced the motor with a like one. Give me an idea of how you would install it. I will gladly take notes. Also how would the variable speed...

    Hotspot FPH plumbing questions

    Just to clarify, I am not "in the industry" as my profile says, somehow both options were selected in my profile when I created it. I have fixed it but the note still exists on the post.

    Hotspot FPH plumbing questions

    I am investigating hotspot FPH as my pool is permanently under shade and my super long 70s ranch house uses some level of AC all the time. I have also always been a fan of geosink systems and this appeals to that. I have some plumbing questions though. My pool is huge, like 40k gallons and...
