Nice. That will allow me to replace the motor, keep the pump, and address my interest in not having to deal with re-plumbing. Now I’m wondering how wise it would be to keep the 20 year old JHPU Stealth pump. It seems functionally fine now, going back to the earlier comment that VSPs have an...

Thanks again. Following up on your comment about the pump for a VS having different design/operating characteristics…I saw an article from 2021 on Inyo’s site promoting the swap out of single speed motors with VS motors with specific reference to my pump, a JHPU1.5. Here’s a link to that...

Thanks HermanTX. Any particular Pentair pump that you can recommend? Or are they all a similar size? I’ve scoured the Jandy product we site descriptions and am surprised they don’t market a drop in replacement. Perhaps because Jandy targets professionals rather than DIY-minded homeowners...

I'm planning for a swap-out of my ca. 2005 1.5HP Jandy Stealth pool pump with a VSP. I'm hoping for a plumbing "drop-in" replacement :) Of course if I have to, I'll plumb it in new/correctly. On another thread, it was recommended that a larger size VSP was recommended. It's as smallish pool...

Thanks all, 220/230/240 it is. I have a different question related to my swap out that I'll post under a different thread. Again, thanks--enormously valuable info.

I’m planning for an eventual replacement of what I believe to be the original ca. 2005 Jandy 1.5HP pump in our pool. Of course I’m looking at VSPs. Some of the units offer dual 110/230v versions, while other have just single voltages. In reading the sales literature on one, there was the...

Thanks for the advice.

I have an older Jandy Stealth, model JHPU1.5, which still has a Century/Centurion 1.5HP single speed motor. The pump is likely original from when the house was built in 2005. I moved in two years ago things have been fine for two seasons--no noise, vibrations, etc. I'd like to move to a two-...

Thank you for the reply. Good to know there is no downside.

Hi all. I'm thinking ahead to the eventual (soon?) replacement of my 18 year old Jandy Stealth 1.5HP single speed pump. I've read that there's a potential savings on electricity moving to a VSP. And given the age, I may just want to jump in and replace it sooner rather than waiting for it to...

Diluted CYA test came back between 110 and 120. If I performed the test correctly. I'll continue to post readings over the next few days as I get the hang of the test kit.

And now based on Texas Splash's comment asking if I performed a diluted CYA test, I see (again, thanks Pool School) that I can get an accurate reading using that method rather than guess-timating.

I initially had faith my pool guys were doing the right thing. Now I'm even more glad that I've made the decision to DIY next year. Based on what I saw at pool closing last year, it looks like they empty about a third of the pool. I understand that CYA never reduces without dilution, so...

They'll be here tomorrow morning. I'll ask them to remove the pucks and add liquid chlorine--assuming they stock it on their truck.

Well, that 120 was a guess on my part since the marks only go to 100. It was past the 100 mark...and I estimated (I'm now guessing that's a bad thing?).

Thank you. So the FC (based on the FAS-DPD) test is likely accurate at 26. And very high. But based on my Pool School studying, my pool guys likely have it high since the CYA is also high. If I'm understanding things correctly, that's "OK", but ideally I'd want to bring down the CYA and...

So I received my TF-Pro test kit today. I started off with the Daily Test and am not sure how to interpret the chlorine levels. Instead of any shade of yellow, it's very orange and/or red. See photo. Is this just telling me lots of Chlorine (too much) or is there an issue. I took a second...

Hello everyone. We moved into our home two years ago just after COVID and one of the selling points was the pool. The house was built 17 years ago on a never-developed plot of land in Alexandria VA, and the pool was built at the same time. The pool seems to have been very well made and site...
