    heat pump size recommendation?

    Thanks. Any knowledge if they make a heater that will go into stand by mode when water flow is stopped due to using a pump timer? Also my last heater was a gulf stream and if I remember correctly it was 125000 BTU, all papers disappered.

    heat pump size recommendation?

    Been away for a few years so starting over. Long story short, our pool was trashed by kids and Gulfstream heat pump burst in three places. I don't recall what size it was since gulfstream does not have a website log in for members and my log in here has changed my profile for my pool equipment...

    new to me, 2 speed pump question

    I recently switched to a 2 speed pump, I never had a water chemistry balance problem running old 1 speed pump from 4pm til 9 30 pm , 5 5 hrs per day. Would it be a good starting point just running the same schedule with pump on low or should I start by running on low and increasing the amount of...

    Is heating an AGP practical?

    Had a heat pump for 7 years, gulfstream brand, excellent quality,Last winter knothead kids did not disconnect anything and trashed all plumbing and equipment. Replaced everything and just finished except for the heat pump. Never doing that again, due to the cost of heater and monthly rise in...

    everything outside pool damaged

    Hi, thanks for the reply I ended up ordering new equipment that I thought I would need, at least until I get it running and then see if anymore needs replaced. I removed items and tossed. The heat pump had splits all over on the internal coil tubing, PVC plumbing from pool outlet and return all...

    everything outside pool damaged

    Well been gone a few and unfortunately the pool is still standing. People who lived here, yes our kids, did not know what they were doing. I think intentional. Heater core tubeing split, not going to replace. Sand filter , plumbing to pool, pump all split. Never drained equipment. All froze My...

    Running pool equipment year round in winter / keeping small in ground pool open all year in Ohio

    Last year we hit -50 windchill, -35 actual and a total of 60 in of snow, that could happen anywhere that usually has harsh winters. For me that would be equipment suicide ?

    Normal or Abnormal Evaporation

    Just for comparison, temps here have been 90, I have not covered in a couple weeks, humidity in the 70's %, maybe lose 1/4" a day, no shade on water at all and we are in the windiest location for our county, highest elevation. Should be easy to find the problem area, plumbing or liner. See how...

    Electrical question

    Just that the 1st thing I noticed was the 2 jumper wire locations, seeming as they were needed for all configurations and done 1st before any other wiring was done, as though the first diagram was not correct and accidentally omitted the second jumper in diagram.I guess I am looking at it from a...

    Electrical question

    Thanks for the breakdown SgtWilko, I have it working fine and a good wifi signal , now just to see how this style of timer holds up to the mechanical version. as far as that small section of paper about the jumpers that was bundled with the wires, seemed like it was a late update ( addendum) to...

    Heater for above ground pool?

    If going for a heat pump, check into the Gulfstream, I don't remember the vendor right now, but they are in Florida and excellent to work with.

    Best pool maintenance kit

    Other than a pole with brush and a leaf net, if no trees maybe get by with a pool blaster. If you get leaves and types of dirt and willing to spend in the $300 range or up , skip the labor intensive vacuum hose route and go with a robot cleaner.

    Electrical question

    I did read about that this afternoon, makes sense since the gauge thickness would tilt the mounting plate.

    Electrical question

    Thanks so much for that info, I did notice on the 240VAC diagram how the jumper was used which conflicted to me about the 120 set up, searching for diagrams on the net for this timer I found a 3rd version wire set up for a single 120 application direct from Woods which really stopped me from...

    Electrical question

    So going back to the wion / woods WIFI timer, looking at the wiring instructions , I am confused on what it is showing, the timer came with a black and white set of jumper wires for the clock portion and it shows where to connect for a single load 120v as stated on piece of paper packaged with...

    Electrical question

    I think T101 timer, not the 104 as your link, so I have to say it is indoor rated since it is metal housing.

    Electrical question

    Pump manual states to connect to 20Amp service which it is, pump tag shows 12.4Amps. I mounted the timer inside of a plastic weather proof box since it is metal and wanted to keep it from any rust since its mounted about 2 ft from the ground and out of snow, It has 8 screws for the cover and a...

    Electrical question

    I am finally getting around to see if I like the Wion Outdoor Wi_Fi timer, the current Intermatic timer I wired in a couple years ago works perfect but would like to randomly run the pump if I add chems other than at my routine times . The timer has these ratings, not listing all but only...

    Robot pool cleaner?

    I got tired of the hose, vacuum set up, after about 2 times that was enough for me. Got tired of moving and storing that crazy hose, which looked like new and threw away, never looking back

    Securing an Above Ground Pool Ladder

    I had the exact same ladder until I went with steps 2 years ago by Confer also. Just draped over side wall, even with some sort of weights attached I don't think it will be as stable as you would like, just too narrow for its height , would take way too much added weight to not shift. I have to...

    AGP how long last? How big to go?

    I would say go as big as you can even though it will cost more, if you can financially squeeze it in, it will actually be less expensive in the long run with re-doing it all. Just like camping, tent, pop up, tow behind, 5th wheel, motor home, cabin, then retired.

    Heat Saver vs Cover Free

    Have not used a liquid based type solar cover at all, but a couple years ago there was an extensive thread about such an item, so I would do a search. if I remember correctly it was shot down " holes blown in it" by almost everyone that has more chemical knowledge than me.
