    New Pool Owner looking to upgrade some plumbing and equipment.

    Hi All, Coming back to this. My parents closed on the house and we are working to redo the equipment shed right now. Previously, the old pump was just 110v. We are running an additional 240v circuit for the new VS pump which will be on it's own GFCI circuit. I plan to just set the SWG to...

    Thanks. I could always cut it off further upstream if needed. I would only do that if the pump was off for some type of maintenance and/or winterization.

    Not sure to be honest. I was able to get a picture from the seller of the house of the current plumbing. It has 1 inlet pipe and two outlet pipes in its current config (seems like a very basic configuration to me) as I show in the picture above. The lady has no idea about any of this. Her...

    New Pool Owner looking to upgrade some plumbing and equipment.

    Hopefully last question for a bit. I plan to use good diverter valves when we replumb, not ball valves so I want to get them ordered. Just want to make sure I order everything I need. Here is what I have planned (excuse the PPT created layout, it was just easy). I have three main...

    Thanks. Understand of course I will have to tweak things once all is up and running, just nice to have a starting point and work from there. Thanks again.

    Done. Don't have too many details yet, but ordering things to be ready to replumb as soon as we can. And just want to say Thank You! to all for the feedback. It is super helpful.

    New Pool Owner looking to upgrade some plumbing and equipment.

    I went ahead and ordered the Calimar pump and extended warranty through PSU. My parents pool is the same size as yours so curious what RPM/Schedule/settings you are running your pool with your combination since we will have the same pump and SWG. Just looking for a decent starting point for...

    What do you think of the Calimar pump? I see most say it is the same as the Circupool VS pump. How long have you had it? Figure for the price it may be worth a try. I can get an extra 3 years of warranty for $99, so for $719 I can get a 3HP VS pump with 4 years of warranty. Seems like a...

    New Pool Owner looking to upgrade some plumbing and equipment.

    I called and talked to them this morning and switched to the RJ-60. Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like the main advantage of the core is a bit simpler install, but that wasn't my main concern. I suspect a VS pump will be the next purchase, but need to wait and see exactly what is already...

    We are going to replumb the entire setup to our liking so we will make whatever room is needed.

    I got it at discount salt pool so switching wouldn’t be an issue. I think I still like the idea of the simplicity for them but will give it some thought.

    So you recommend it over the Core model. We would probably drop down to the RJ -45.

    Yeah, I am aware as related to only the 4 levels of adjustment, but figure with pump run time adjustments we can achieve similar results. And to be honest, less options is better for my parents.

    Well, we ordered the CircuPool Core 55. Think it will work fine for them. Now to get closed so we can clean up the plumbing.

    I don’t think it has any automation right now. Is right at 17,000 gallons.

    New Pool Owner looking to upgrade some plumbing and equipment.

    I haven't had a chance personally to look at it closely so not sure exactly what kind of pump it has, but I think it is a 1HP. They close on the house a week from Friday so I will get a better idea then. For the most part, I want to get the SWG ordered and have it so we can do the work either...

    New Pool Owner looking to upgrade some plumbing and equipment.

    Hello all. My parents (mid-70's) are buying a place that has a 15x30x5 inground pool. My dad is mechanically savvy in just about anything, but not too computer savvy, so I am here to help them a bit as a proxy. I am also pretty mechanically savvy, so hopefully I don't ask too many dumb...
