I need to redo some plumbing between the filter and the pool. Where can I buy the unions that thread into the filter and salt cell (see photos circled in red). Its a Pentair Clean and Clear filter and a Intellichlor.

What is this stuff and how do I get rid of it? The white looks like calcium buildup but there also is some tan stuff that is like putty and very sticky. The tan stuff is also all over the filters. The water looks and smells fine, the PH and chlorine are good.

The circuit breaker for my salt cell (IC-40) keeps tripping. This just started happening, pool is about 6 years old. Is this a sign the salt cell is going out or just a bad breaker.

Never mind, figured it out. A circute breaker on the front of the panel was tripped. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have a IC40 IntelliChlor that quite working. No light are on. It does not appear to have any...

The pump is not priming and looks to me like the impeller is broken or jammed. It is not moving water. See attached video. Any ideas? Pump not working video

I recently got a IntelliChem installed by a local pool company. Everything seems to work properly but it is not dispensing acid. I think they hooked it up wrong. Can someone look at this an tell me if its hooked up right. And if its not how to do it correctly. I am convinced they don't...

I have a pool with a IntelliTouch, Intellichem (acid & intellichlor), IntelliFlo VSF Pump, Bioshield UV, LED light and solar panels. It currently has screen logic for automation. I'm not real happy with it as the app is pretty poor. Any opinions of what would be a better automation set up...

I currently have 9 12x4 Heliocol panels all in one string. I am adding 6 more panels to the system and the best way to do it is add two panels to the existing string making 11 in one string and 4 in the other. Would this be a problem or should I try to even out the strings? I would save about...

Here are some photos of my equipment. Where would the best place to put a flow meter? If I start the pump at full speed and back the RPMs down until the flow rate starts to drop. Is that the most efficient RPM for the pump to run at?

I have 9 4x12 Heliocol solar panels in one single row on my flat roof about 16 foot off the ground. I have a Ecostar 3400 VS pump and 2" PVC lines to and from the panels. I would like to add 5 more panels in a new row to this system. Is the pump powerful enough to do this? How do I figure...

I installed a sense and dispense on my new pool with omnilogic. I have it wired up correctly and went through the configuration and everything appears to be correct. The omnilogic recognizes the hardware but is not showing any readings. The manual from Hayward is not much help. Any ideas?

Anyone have one of these? Does it work? I asked my pool builder about it and they told me Hayward has been having problems with them and is not selling them anymore...

We need to choose the color of the pebble finish for our pool in the next couple days. We would like a dark blue and was considering Pebble Sheen ocean blue but have decided it is too black. Our pool builder is getting samples from other manufactures but it is hard to tell what they look like...

We decided to go with ocean blue over blue granite. Our pool builder tells me this is an upgrade. The pool is almost finished so I am worried that we are going to be quoted way more than what we would have paid if he bid it in the initial contract. What is a fair price for this upgrade?

I have the option of equipment for our new pool/spa. The advantages for Hayward is the Omnilogic over intellitouch, Echstar is more efficient that the Intelliflow, 400,000 BTU Natural gas heater is better and rat proof. The advantages for Pentair is the Filter is better. Am I missing...

I am getting ready to build a pool and have two pool contractors giving me different advice. One says to have a separate 1/2 hp pump for the solar system with its own intake and output ports in the pool. The other contractor tells me to have an automated valve and use the existing 3 hp...

We are getting ready to build a pool with 380 sq. foot surface area, a max depth of 5 feet and a 7"x7" raised spa. Our builder quoted a Pentair clean and clear plus 420 filter. I asked if it would be smart to upgrade to the 520 filter. They told me that the 520 would only give me about a week...

Got this quote for a pool in Tucson AZ. I think it has the equipment we are wanting but it is very hard to understand. Any comments? The price seem way high to me. For example $985 for a 1HP single speed pump. We are planning on shopping around but want to make sure we compare prices...

My pool is pretty simple. No spa, salt, water fall, solar and LED Light. For this setup is there really much difference between the OmniLogic and Pentair's ScreenLogic? Which would be less expensive and is one significantly better?

What would be a good choice for a sand filter for a 3500 to 4000 gallon pool. Would prefer to stick to sta-rite/Pentair products unless it makes sense to do other wise.

I am looking at the EasyTouch, SunTouch, and IntelliTouch systems and need help determining which one. I am looking at a large spa/pool. It will have nine therapy jets, in floor cleaner, salt chlorinator, solar, propane heating. I would like to have it as much automated as possible. Which...

I am getting ready to build a small pool/spa, what we call a spool, and need some recommendations for equipment. The contractors are going to do the work I just have to purchase the equipment myself. The local pool guys so far have been a disappointment and I am not comfortable with their...
