Thank You for the information!!

I have a 5' x 8' cement pad poured to set my pool equipment on. I'm looking for ideas to build on this pad. It needs to be tall enough to remove the cover from my Quad 60 Filter System. I want to protect it from the elements and not overspend on a simple element of the pool. I plan on plenty...

I will surely try. Awaiting delivery of all of the pump station components.

I did not operate it. The unit powered up with green light and allowed me to check the life of the cell. Afterwards it would no longer power the on

Howdy, Story First: I picked up a used Pentair SWG system. Power Supply and IC40 Cell were included. I wired the power supply into my panel(Currently wired for 110) and plugged the cell in. I wanted to test for actual life of the cell. The cell powered up and read 20% used thus far. This...

Updates to this. Still working well?

Awesome!! Thank You!!

Thanks for the help!!!

No automation, yet. I like the built in programmer to control the flow rates and reduce the electric bill. If I buy a two speed and a timer control it will be nearly the same amount of money.

I recently acquired a new home and with it came an above ground pool. I'm fairly decent with pool knowledge and used this forum in the past. Pool Specs: 18' x 34' Above Ground Oval with deep end Estimated Gallons: 24,500 Currently running single speed 1.5hp with a small sand filter...

I'm in the process of installing a 27' round ABG pool. The pool wall is 52" tall and my liner is a normal non-deep end 48-52" liner. I'm thinking of adding sand to a portion of the pool to bring the depth to 36". Will this work with the current liner and pool or will I have issues with the...

Bump

I recently purchased a used pool wall which for the most part is in very good shape. The only problem with the wall is the about 1/2 of the pool wall length was partially buried(around 6-12") and when removed and cleaned, the paint was in pretty rough shape. I'm looking at buying primer and...

Re: Filter Type Choice - Backwashing to woods - Also have we I would have stains if it weren't for my water softener system. Yes we have high iron levels in the area.

Re: Filter Type Choice - Backwashing to woods - Also have we Not to impede on the original posters filter question but I have both of the conditions you mention. I currently have a sand filter but it and the pool are not setup yet. Should I purchase a cartridge filter instead? If so, what...

Yes, was looking at the compupool CPSC24 but not sure if this is for above ground or inground. Pool should be 17-18,000 gallons

Been looking at Jandy and now compupool. Not sure which compupool to get. Does it matter if its inground or above ground with compupool. The Jandy AquaPure EI is about $475.00.

Anyone ever heard of a system called: Simple Salt? There about 300 bills and I was going to buy a Jandy but wondering if I should try this system. All feedback is appreciated.

Already checking on them. They offer a 3/4HP - 2 Speed - Part Number 340203 115V. 8.8/2.6 amps.

Sta-Rite T-200-BP1, 2.18sqft. Sand Filter.

Does anyone have the specifications for the Hayward Matrix 2 Speed pumps. It seems Hayward doesn't advertise amp draw for each speed or rpm. Even approximate GPM would be good. I'm looking at the 3/4hp and 1hp models. Thanks

So it seems that Pentair SuperFlo pumps are designed specifically for inground pools.

I'm thinking the same thing. Now I didn't check to see if those are above ground or inground pumps.

Found: Single Speed Pentair SuperFlo Pump 1/2 HP Energy Efficient Model 348021 115v=8.8amps 220v=4.4-4.5amps Dual Speed Pentair SuperFlo Pump 1HP Energy Efficient Model 340042 220v only Full Speed=6.0 amps Half Speed=2.3amps Dual speed seems the way to go but I still have to invest in a new...

So 1/2hp it will be and I'm thinking 2" pvc but still wondering which pump is the best choice. Do they make a 1/2hp two speed or are they only single speed? I was checking out the 1/2hp Pentair superflo and it seems to be a single speed. All this help is greatly appreciated!! Anyone want to...

I noticed in the pump 101 info it recommends a 3.2sqft. sand filter for 17,500 gallons which means my 2.18sqft. filter is too small as it is. Do you know if he is running sand, de, or something else?

Is yours a two speed pump as well?

Well my pool and sand filter is essentially the same size as yours Daniel and I was thinking as I stated above that even a 1/2hp pump should be sufficient. But I will check out the 3/4hp two speed. My sand filter does state that it requires 44gpm minimum so low speed would have to pump at...
