All is well with the pump and SWG now. With the toggle switch wired correctly the pump does what it's supposed to do. The SWG just had a blown fuse so now that's working. Now I'll have to move on to the other problems sometime soon in a new post, regarding my spa blower and the heater not...

Good news and bad news with the install. Good news: pump is plumbed & wired and is running! Bad news: 1. the pump doesn't change speed when I move the switch... there were only 3 wires connected to the old motor, line 1 line 2 and the ground. It looked simple enough to me to hook up the...

Well the new pump was waiting at my doorstep when I got home today and it DOES have the switch built in!

I have ordered a switch also. My pump died this morning as I heard it running and then before I left the house I noticed that it was quiet outside. Fortunately the new pump is on the fedex truck for delivery today so hopefully I can at least get started on intalling it tonight.

Thanks for the help and advice you all have given me. I've decided to go with the WFDS-26. Poolsupplyworld had a pretty good price to me with free shipping and a $20 off code. Hopefully it'll get here quick and my current pump will keep running until then. The pool/pump is about 80 feet from...

I've added a signature to show what we have, but we do have a spa that overflows into the pool. So with the spa, I don't think I'd want to drop down to a 1 hp from the current 1.5 hp I currently have. Would a 1.5 hp Superflo would be sufficient for my needs?

Currently I have an approx. 11 year old Pentair Whisperflo WFE-26, 1.5 hp, 1.1 service factor pump that started making some noise at the end of last season and it was doing ok so far this season until recently and now it has become very loud. I'm leading toward just replacing the whole pump...

If it's moving around without a problem on the floor of your pool, your drive motor should be fine. A while ago my aquabot wasn't climbing the walls all the way. I found out that there was water in the handle (instead of air to provide bouyancy). Instead of buying a new one, I read somewhere...

checked the fill water last night with the TFT test kit: CH=0, TA=10, PH=? it was yellow, probably about the yellow of between 1 and 2 on the chlorine side?

We are supposed to have hard acidic water in our area. We do have a water system to take care of that for that house, however, my outside hose that fills up the pool is now bypassing the water system for the house since the end of last year. So even with our supposed hard water coming directly...

Pool = 25000 gallons, SWG, plaster, opened 5 days ago: Recent test results from this morning using TFT test kit: Temp = ?, need a new thermometer, I'm guessing it's about 70 if I'm lucky PH = 7.0-7.2 was 8.0, added MA to bring TA down, opened spa returns this a.m. so it overflows into pool to...

My local Lowes only had the green muriatic acid at $7.99 per gallon, the Home Depot across the street has boxes of 2 1gallon regular muriatic acid for $10.92. I'd stay away from the green version since it has added Crud in it and isn't as strong, just don't breath in the fumes!

Re: Looking for comments on Compupool CSPC36 (Good/Bad/Ugly) I installed mine 2 years ago and it's worked great. I had no issues with the install or operation of it whatsoever. I bought it on ebay since I found the best price there at the time.

this will be our third year with the pool (25k, plaster) we inherited with the house we bought. I installed a compupool swg last year. I've relied on a cheap store bought test and test strips and pool store tests previously. Last year I decided to close the pool myself and I guess it went...

I had a strange experience with my pool this evening. I was doing a couple of things outside near the pool and then went inside. The pool filter was running and everything was fine with it. About 20-30 minutes after I came inside, the wife comes downstairs and asks me if I know that the pool...

I installed a compupool SWG a little over a week ago. I'm fairly handy and it's not too dificult. The plumbing was very easy. I was a little hesitant about the wiring, however it ended up being pretty straight forward once I actually looked at the wiring.
