    Does anyone know where I could find a Pentair Intelliflow VS 011028 or VSF 011056

    Title says it all. I ordered the VSF 011056 back in march from Doheny's but they keep bumping the ship date every week or so. Currently, it moved from today (05.13.2022) to 05.25.2022. This is the 6th time they have shifted the ship date. I have found a single VSF locally for $2.1k which is...

    Pool pump died when closing

    My pool pump died right before I added the polyquat 60. I just need to add that and blow out the lines to close the pool. The water is clear and was at SLAM levels. I would rather not buy a pump right now, the last one I bought in 2017 was $350 the same one now is $700. The front seal cracked...

    Pool Pump Died. Not sure if I should go single speed or dual speed

    I have a 35k in-ground pool. With DE Nautilus Filter 36SQFT I purchased a Liquidator that I am planning on adding this year. I had planned on installing a timer to run with the liquidator that would run for 8ish hours or whatever was needed to turn the pool over once per 24hours. I also...

    Looking install a pool heater. MasterTemp 400 propane good choice?

    I am looking to purchase a pool heater for the upcoming season. There is no natural gas lines available where I live so it would have to be propane. The local shop recommended a MasterTemp 300 (personally from what I have read this is too low) So I bumped that up to a MasterTemp400. They ball...

    First time posting. Getting ready to open.

    Hey all love the site! Got my kit tf100 and took my first set of readings. History - last summer was our first summer with the pool and it was a mess. From cleaning issues to holes in the DE filter grids to spending 2k$ plus on chemicals. We were supposedly in a "chlorine demand" and only...
