I want it as a backup. Where my house is there is only one pool store close, and the cost of the pentair is over $2500. I have backups for all my equipment, and I thought it might be a good idea. My pentair is at least 10 years old. I am currently getting past a Pool Pilot problem, and just...

I tried to get this last year but none were available. I forgot about this one.

Advantage Manufacturing in California. I saw this product .. https://www.advantageman.com/https_www_advantageman_com_product_p_eapv_htm_p/eapv.htm and it seems like a good price. I checked reviews and they were very good. Just wondering if anyone has tried them.

Thanks and "stone" was a typo s/b "setting"

So I think when the original pump was set up, it was set to flows based on the ability of the pool pilot to produce chlorine. Also a stone was made to have the heat pump to produce heat when needed. Does this sound right. I have a variable time of use electric meter and run higher speeds between...

Ok, But I meant smaller as in HP size.

Thanks Is the size of my current pump the correct size for my pool?

I have a Pentair IntelliFlo Variable Speed High Performance Pool Pump | 3HP Max | EC-011018 currently. It has started making some noises and was looking for a backup pump just in case. I was thinking maybe a CAliMAr or similar, but none to be found and really not crazy about the pump given...

I cancelled the order.

I ordered it yesterday from the link you posted yesterday for $489. Then over night I got an email saying its back ordered and they cant give me an estimate of delivery. If I want to cancel let them know within 72 hours. I'll check your list and see if I see a better option. I don't mind waiting...

Saw a video on youtube. It looks like the CaliMar is identical to the circupool.

Thanks you all make good points, it seems like for a 3 - 4 month season back up parts are the way to go for me. I just swapped out the multiport valve for a new one I had on the shelf. I had the rebuild kit , and cleaned up all the rough edges and put it back together for next time. I just...

Thanks for your info. Any opinion if its worth it as primarily a backup to save about $800-900? Thanks again

From a company in California. Been thinking of getting a backup pump just in case. My Pentair this weekend was making a funny noise and I would like to be prepared with a backup just in case. A Pentair replacement is about 80-90% more than this. Thanks Rich...

Not sure if this is the correct area to ask but... I need to rebuild it, I'm sure I can but I have found the spider gasket has to be glued in. What type of glue ? Regular PVC glue or something else? Thanks Rich

The reason is the screw and wing nut stick out past the trim. Worried about injury to my son and anyone sitting steps.

So I decided to replumb the 2 skimmers on my 20x40. Presently they are leaking somewhere, and I only take a plug out of one to vacuum. They are connected via a T, And since I am re doing them is there an advantage to piping 2 separate lines back to pump or can they be T'd like they are now. I...

I really don't use it much but will a problem to cap off. Would have to remove pavers and concrete underneath to expose. I found a Hayward part that says it is a test plug SP1434TP. -Does anyone have any experience with this part ? -Can it be used to permanently close this off ? -Can I glue it...

Absolutely

I have seen them in the store near me in NY. And i know they have been in BJ's, but I don't know about returning there. I would have never thought to return something that big after so many years, but when I saw someone returning the same thing it was pretty lucky for me. My brother in law said...

Buy one from costco. They take everything back. Bought a cantilever umbrella 4 years ago, While at the store I saw someone returning the same one. He had the same problem I had with mine. The slightest wind and it would rotate. The worker said just return it we take everything back. No worries...

see above

So I removed plugs from step jets only. They are Hayward SP1434AKA body. The pool loses water. It will be a nightmare to replace and or try to access the plumbing. Pavers over at least 4" concrete, and very close to bullnose bricks at edge of steps. I found this part from Hayward SP1434T which...

So far water has held with plugs in bottom of skimmers and stair jets. I will remove stair jet plugs and follow for any water loss.

Nothing out of the ordinary. But with plugs left in the bottom of the skimmers water loss has really stopped. I'm just not sure if there pressure stick would indicate a leak or not. I put a decent amount of teflon tape on the male adaptors, but not sure that is where they leak. But I guess if...

Great thanks

After my liner change disaster it seems I have a leak. I have been losing a lot of water quickly. It drops about 2" per day until it hits near boom of the skimmer. Then pretty much stops. The new liner guy came out and did a dive to check out all of the cuts into the line. The 3 returns, main...

A quick question. Local pool supplier/builder told me they only use "Christie" glue and primer. He said it gets much hotter to ensure good connection. Is that true?

I like the idea of simplicity, however, if the pump runs longer I would just have to titrate % for chlorinator, right? I asked Josh this but to be sure I wouldn't harm the auto pilot if it ran and the flow was to low, correct? Just trying to get ready for the install when I get it. BTW Josh at...

Bought the auto pilot. What is the preferred wiring when combined with a pentair VS pump? Do we let the pump control everything or the intermatic timer? I plan on running the pump at the lowest speed overnight for filtration/energy savings and a few hours during the day for skimming. Thanks
