    Help with Circupool RJ45+

    I instaslled a Circupool RJ45+ about a month or so ago. I am having issues with it making chlorine. It's installed correctly - per the manual, but for some reason it is not making chlorine. My pool is about 11,000 gallons (meaning the R45 should be putting out tons of chlorine for a pool this...

    Regarding Pentair SolarTouch controllers - what is the purpose of the Solar Hold feature?

    I have a Solar Touch controller, and an Intelliflo pump. When the Solar Touch turns on the heat, it goes into Solar Hold mode, for about 5 min, then turns on the valve. I am not sure I understand the purpose of this feature, as my pump ramps up to speed quickly enough where I would just like...

    Is it common for places to test pumps before sending to you?

    I ordered a new Pentair variable speed pump from http://www.poolsupply4less.com/. It arrived today, with a cracked base. They are resolving that issue. The other issue I am wondering is - the pump basket arrived wet - it had water in it. When I confronted them about it, they said that they...

Should...

    Variable speed pumps - is the best brand to buy Pentair?

    I have been looking at replacing the dual speed pump with a VS pump since we just got solar installed. I am wondering - between the various brands out there, from what I am seeing here, lots of folks seem to recommend the Pentair Intelliflo VS. Is this THE pump to get? The pool we have is...

    Solar heater question with 2 speed pump

    I've been reading on the board here that most 2 speed pumps cannot prime solar panels, but that it may be possible if the pump ran on high, then switched to low? I have an installer scheduled to come out and install 7 FAFCO Sunsaver panels. I have a 2 story house. My pump is a 1.5 HP Jandy...

    We have a 322 sq ft, 11,400 gallon screened pool. I'm looking to add a solar system to extend the season. I think 5 or 6 panels may be what I need based on what I saw at the Florida Solar Energy Center website. There appears to be many different brands of panels that exist - I think we've...
