Talked with Wife it looks like this is where we are going... Questions... do I need to buy a pressure gauge with it ? and do the cartridges also come in the package ?

Yes, it runs on low speed 24/7 on solar.

I was looking at the quad DE, It seems like a pretty good unit. Thanks for the input.

The issue there is it runs about 16 hours a day, so the local pool guys said it would cut power consumption, since we use solar panels we had to down size the pump a bit. On the next rebuild of the pool either next year or after the pool is being down sized to a 20 K. By adding a shallow area...

Lost pool filter to an early freeze while I was out of the country. Now Im looking to replace the filter unit and the plumbing around it. The Pump is a Pentair Whisperflo Dual Speed Up Rate 1 HP Pump It was an older hayward ec65 de... I'd like to possibly make it a bit bigger this time. Any...

Ironically my wife told me maybe they just capped it for packaging... I told her I have never seen that, they usually just strip the wire and leave the stripped end on with a small gap.. not actually cap it... and the diagram I thought was just mis printed until I looked on the website and its...

That is absolutely what got me... I was curious why they would cap it... Thanks folks greatly appreciated.. Im off to Home depot to grab some wire nuts for the black... thanks again..

Actually there is a toggle which has a black a yellow and a white... the yellow and white are in the last link. however the black is capped on the switch. 3009 has the picture of the toggle... I know Im missing something simple here... And I feel Im over thinking this.. My thought is power...

Last storm pump got hit by lightning, pump body melted like a blob... pretty cool wish i took pictures... breaker popped for it and I also lost a tv... but im not angry... it was an old tv.. Got a new pump assembly and looked at the wiring... thought to myself ahhh Ive done wiring this can't be...

Thanks for help folks pool is back to normal and ready for swimming. if it wasn't so dark out id get some pictures and post em up. I will do that tomorrow when i get some light ! Thanks again ! BTW the bag unit helped a lot, and I got around having to use the adapter by using a female to...

Looking into this wonder if they ship overnight. Thanks guys greatly appreciated. This was exactly what i could not find on google. My google-fu is getting weak.

Neighbors yard is higher then mine... We had torrential down pours due to tornado. Neighbors yard is basically in my pool. Spent all afternoon skimming and removing dirt. And not even close to clean. There any way to get this stuff out ? I'm vacuuming to waste at this point but every 5 minutes...

Using the TFP method I can usually clear pools in a day at most. I help out most folks who ask. Clorox the **** out of the pool does way more then algaecide does. 3rd year owning a pool and lots of my friends have them. I am helping them out and they are saving a ton of money, and have not had...

I live near a lake, we get so much pollen and leaves from the tree's the chlorine is ridiculously fast to go , even if we jack up the cya. Plus all the bags of shock we used to have to buy... thankfully no longer. Bleach and liquid chlorine seem to work much better. - - - Updated - - - not to...

There are cheaper places to get the k-2006 for i think $60 total the problem is they can take up to a week to get to you. I guess in a bind maybe test strips to get you close , but there is really no replacement for the test kit, my pool has never been so clear as it has using the test kit and...

im starting to think test strips are more accurate then 3/4's of the pool stores with testers. Although I do like one of my local stores, they are good, the rest suck. Let us know what the test shows and also, take some pictures ! my pool took almost 2 weeks and 6 de changes, so don't give...

Nice ! Thanks. Think I have some coupons from them I can use. Might be worth the drive at that price.

For those of us in Taxachusetts. Local Leslies to me has 6 gallon liquid chlorine 10% for $24 including the deposit on the container. Also there is Bleach at Demoulas Market Basket 1.59 for 96 oz. Not bad there either but it's 8.25% I still can't locate a good source of 12.5 as I have limited...

Nice glad to hear it's cleaning up for you. I gotta go get water and test mine now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Quick question I'm dealing with asme issue on day 3 now. Should I clean the de filter fingers in muriatic acid after I get it cleaned out ? I have already hosed out the filter 3 times. Might have to do it again soon. Also how do most of you guys catch the de ? I've been trying to use a bucket...

Re: How should I heat my pool? Im guessing not much after keeping the pool that warm !

Re: How should I heat my pool? 100 degrees !!! How the heck can ya keep it that warm ? Im looking at a solar cover ( which I need to trim for my ladders.) and a wood heater or solar.... Id like to get my water into the 70's for 5 months. But Im north near Boston Ma. I couldn't imagine 100...

Im interested in the wood fired style for sure ! Any pictures for this ? I'd love to be able to use it by burning my wood waste, I get so much wood from fallen trees in my yard id love this ? What do you use for a heat exchanger ?

Awesome thanks ! See if my wife will let me buy em now :)

I was actually looking into this as well as a way o extend the pools season. I started looking at the ones that were just black irrigation hose and adding a bypass. Now Im actually contemplating a panel style instead. Anyone know what are the best ones for a DYI install ? Ideally Id like to...

So I am off to do more learning, not caring about costs to much, as long as it pays off in the long run of 3+ years. Im looking to keep all my bills lower, which is why im also going to finish off my chemicals and go with the tf100 tester and the bbb method. Any pointers on picking a motor to...

Awesome quick info on electrical :) I can fix any circuit in a car or a computer, don't ask me about house wiring, although I been told they are close. I don't like anything over 12 volts hehe. So my new question, am I safe in assuming it's better to replace the motor in the pump and impeller...

Also doesn't the wire going out there have to be changed as well ?
