Re: In Stock Pool Supply (Santa Ana, CA) .. Cheap, but hones That pump is model # 340038. It's not the Energy Efficient pump. I was looking to buy the model # 348023. That is the Energy Efficient pump

Re: In Stock Pool Supply (Santa Ana, CA) .. Cheap, but hones Thanks duraleigh Here is the pump I am looking to buy from In Stock Pool Supply: http://www.instockpoolsupply.com/Pentai ... 348023.htm I have always been very happy with the great service I have received from our good friends at...

I am in need of a new 1 HP pool pump. Last night I spent about an hour finding the very cheapest price on the internet for a Pentair SuperFlow Single Speed / Energy Efficient pump. The very cheapest (delivered to the door) was from a company called In Stock Pool Supply ... but I have never even...

Re: And I thought I had floating algae ... Look what I found great idea!

I have a couple of photos to show you. Yesterday my pool was clean. Today I wake up to find this black stuff floating on the top of the water in my pool here in southern Florida. The water is very clean and the chemicals are well balanced. So why would I be getting this growth on the surface of...

Ok ... thank's Jason

Ok I have a question concerning a Standard Efficiency pump vs an Energy Efficient pump. Both pumps shown below are 1 HP single speed pumps made by the same manufacturer: Pentair SuperFlo 1 HP, Standard Efficiency, Model 340038 Speed: Single Voltage: 115 / 230V Full Load Amps: 14.2 /...

Thank's everyone for all your help ... I have just one more question concerning a Standard Efficiency pump vs an Energy Efficient pump, but I won't 'muck-up' this thread anymore, so I will just start a new one. Ron,

Thank's :-D

Mark ... The pump is a: Sta-Rite P6RA6E-205L Max-E-Pro Single Speed Up-Rated 1 HP Motor 115V/230V http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/Sta-Rite ... E-205L.htm The pump and filter are located about 40 feet from the center area of the pool and the smallest pipe diameter in the system is 1 1/2" The...

Jason ... thank's a bunch for the info you provided, especially about setting me straight about the pipe diameter info. Just, so I am straight about this ... Do you think my system with the 1 HP pump motor is realistically running at about 42 GPH, or more close to 50? Do you think a 3/4 HP...

I just purchased a 10 year old house with pool here in Florida. Pool Type: In-ground concrete with no spa or water features Pool Capacity: 9,000 gal. Pump: Sta-Rite Max-E-Pro Pump Motor: 1 HP single speed Filter: Pentair Clean and Clear 100 sq. ft. cartridge type Minimum Pipe Size in...

Re: Pool heater "time to heat" and "cost to heat" calculatio Thank's for the comment and the additional info ... I just posted this so someone might get a ballpark idea as to how long it might take them to heat up there pool and a basic cost for electricity. I was initially interested in this...

Here is a way to determine how long it will take your heater to heat your pool water, and how much it will cost you if you are using an electric heater. This of course won't tell you how much it costs to keep the temp at a certain level once warm, but it will give you an idea as to how long it...

Re: Single speed pump kwh Are you thinking that this link is not accurate? It works out to be 1.07 KwH for a 1.0 HP single speed pool pump And I guess that would equal 1,070 watts http://www.myconserve101.com/energySavi ... Pumps.aspx

Re: Single speed pump kwh OKIE DOKIE

Split off of this topic. Durk Quote: "1500 watts is what the pump draws. So, in one hour, it uses 1500 watt-hours, or 1.5 kwh". ________________________________________ Where did you get the info that a single speed 1.0 HP electric pool pump motor uses 1,500 watts per hour?

From what this website shows, a 1 HP single speed pool pump motor will use 192 KWH of electricity per month if run 6 hours per day. http://www.myconserve101.com/energySavi ... Pumps.aspx So, if you are paying 12 cents per KWH for electriciy like we do here in Florida, it will cost you $23.04...

"A VS pump on a 9,000 gallon pool without any special water features and in a area that doesn't have high electric costs is way overkill. Best bet would be to just replace the existing motor with a 2-speed. Even before suggesting that I'd try Mark's suggestion of trimming the run time, and...

Thank's ... I will buy the Pentair CC100 (100 sq ft) filter instead of the smaller Pentair CC75 (75 sq ft) filter that will replace the Hayward that is in the sytem now, that I can't get apart anymore to wash out the filter element (warped housing).

Thank's Mark ... :-D

Well, right now I am running the pump 5 hours a day here in Florida, and 7 hours a day during the summer. Again it's only a 9,000 gal pool, and it does stay very clean.

mas985 ... Thank's for the input :) Since this pool was installed when the house was new (9 years ago), it was way before I ever owned it, so I had no input on the pump motor size that was installed. But, for an in-ground gunite pool of just 9,000 gal, I think a 3/4 HP pump motor would have...

I am just trying to ball park about how much flow that my pool pump puts out. _________________________________ This is what I know: 1. Pump Motor: 1 HP (single speed) 2. Minimum Pipe Diameter in System: 1.5" 3. Operating Pressure at Filter: 25 psi Note: Pool Capacity is 9,000 Gal. and the...

Nobody else here have problems with a Hayward Star-Clear C900 / C1200 / C1750 style cartridge pool filter?

I have a 9 year old 9,000 gal in-ground pool in my backyard here in Florida. I have a problem that has gotten worse and worse over the last year ... The problem is the Hayward C1200 cartridge type pool filter. I just cant get the top section separated from the bottom section anymore. It has a...

Re: Green algae / cloudy water .. completely drain and refil I had no idea! ... Now wouldn't that be a horrible thing to deal with! :shock:

About a week ago I was at the local pool supplies store when some lady walked in and told of her problems to one of the sales guys. It appears that she has an in-ground gunite pool with green algae and now cloudy water on top of that. She was there to buy more chemicals. Seems she has been...

When I lived in the Philippines, I had a 2004 Sportster 1200R. After 5 years of riding it over there, I finally had some teen girl walk out in the street right in front of me (while texting) and I dumped the bike ... broke my collarbone in 3 places and broke 2 ribs ... Sold the bike after...
