OK - I am biting the bullet. On low speed, my current pump pushes just a tad UNDER the flow needed to run the SWG. High speed is great for vacuuming, but far too much for anything other than short periods of time. So I'm researching variable speed. I want to be able to set it and ignore it...

It looks like we may have gotten away with a lot less damage than was possible, although hard to trouble shoot everything at this point. (And I had the sense to drain the HOUSE plumbing, so no problems with that plumbing, thankfully. Thought about draining the pool plumbing, but figured it would...

I installed a CORE35 SWG last weekend, and after making sure salt, etc were at the correct levels, I turned it on a few days ago. Green light comes on, everything looks good, and remains good when I check in periodically. But when come back the next morning, the low-flow light is on. This has...

I am (almost) ready to hard plumb my new AGP with 1-1/2" PVC piping. I have my jandy valves, my fittings, my unions. I have my layout finalized. The only question I have is about the 16' run between the pool and the equipment pad. These runs will be buried. I have no easy access to 20' lengths...

I am getting ready to hard plumb a new AGP, and received my Jandy valves this afternoon. One thing immediately became apparent - the plumbing layout I will use will require the "inlet" port of my three way valve to be moved 90 degrees clockwise from where it is now, to one of the other two...

We're putting in an 18' round AGP (replacing larger oval AGP.) I'd really like to move the equipment away from pool side, if possible. The new pool will have one skimmer, and one return. The AG pump is a Pentair Dynamo 3/4 HP 2-Speed Pump with a 26" Waterway sand filter. I have been reading...

We are having a new 18' round AGP installed in a week or so. It is replacing an older (18x36) AGP that was hard-plumbed to the pump/filter. We are planning on using the existing sand filter and two-speed pump. I plan to hard plumb this new installation, but not immediately as the equipment pad...

Between the drought last year and the floods this year, the cement blocks on which my sand filter sit have become unlevel. Hence, I realised this morning the filter itself is 1-2" off level. It has probably been sinking slowly all summer, and just got off kilter enough for me to notice it...

I've spent the last two weeks pouring bleach into the pool after opening it for the spring. I've done the same thing each year for the last five or six years, and the water has always cleared within a week at most. I've been holding the FC levels at 14-15 as best I can, checking the water...

My 1 HP pump is making noises that are making me very nervous. Since our electric rates are doing nothing but going up, I am thinking about simply replacing it with either a 3/4 HP or 1 HP two-speed pump. The pool is a 18' x 36' AGP. There is an appropriate (weatherized, etc) electric...
