Can I swim while the filter pump is running? It is probably too dangerous because of the electricity right? thanks.
INTEX products are from China and "inexpensive" (read cheap)geoshecks said:WOW! Hard to believe that a company would distribute such an item.
Isaac-1 said:This is just a side note, but it is possible to buy extension cords and outdoor extension cord adapters with GFCI breakers built in. The electrical code for constructions sites changed to require all GFCI breakers a couple of years ago, so many new professional grade extension cords now have resetable GFCI breakers built into the heads so they can be used with older onsite generators that did not come supplied with GFCI, etc..
I realize this is from 2010 but had to reply to this as I run my pump every evening for 7 hrs (recommended time for my pump/filter) and have never had to shock pool or has it turned green. I do vacuum quite frequently and brush 2x a week .Personally, I would not trust any pool pump, that's not
supposed to run while anyone is in the pool, I didn't even
know they made them like that, our Hayward pump runs
16 hrs a day on a timer I tried 8 hrs a day for a couple of
weeks one time, and wound up having to shock the pool.
maybe that's just my situation not sure. If so, I'd like to
hear about pools that stay maintained with just running
the pump 8 hrs daily, Id like to know how.
