Pool Equipment
Here's some information on the equipment we recommend.
EcoStar variable speed pump is the most efficient pump at any speed that can save you up 90% on energy costs over a single-speed pump. EcoStar matches pump flow to a pool’s needs, versus running at full power 100% of the time and is suitable for both new construction and the aftermarket.
- Most efficient pump at any speed. Its super-efficient permanent magnet, totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motor and industry leading hydraulic design can save you up to 90% on your energy costs
- Service mode allows your service company to clean pools quicker
- Integrated controller is programmable with a self-contained 24-hour clock and up to 8 custom speed and timer functions that allow EcoStar to manage flow throughout the day
- Eligible for $200 rebate from SRP and APS
Time Clock
The time clock turns the pump motor on and off at your preferable pre-determined hours. For best results the time clock should run the pump 1 hour for every 10 degrees of ambient temperature. We recommend you split the run time so at least 1 hour of pump operation circulates the pool water during the hottest time of day.

Aqua-Rite Chlorine Generator (Saltwater Pool)
Saltwater pools are equipped with a chlorine generator that converts the salt into chlorine that instantly starts to destroy bacteria, viruses, and algae, then reverts back to dissolved salt. This cycle continues. The dissolved salts are converted to chlorine only when the filter pump is running. Click on the link below for the owner's manual for maintenance and cleaning

Magna Sweep Infloor Cleaning System
 For best performance your infloor heads need to be adjusted so the nozzle water flow shoots in the same direction on every head in the zone. This creates a sweeping motion that cleans better and reduces the likelihood of heavy debris building up in corners. You can do this yourself by pausing the low profile water valve by lifting up on the Quikstop pause control. Next push down on each active head and they will advance in a clockwise direction until you get all the heads in the zone shooting in the same direction. Repeat this process on all zones.

Cartridge Filter
Your pool filter is designed to mechanically clean your pool water by trapping tiny particles inside. A dirty filter reduces circulation and cleaning and requires more chlorine. A high-capacity cartridge filter should be cleaned quarterly or more frequently if pump and cleaning system aren't working properly due to an excessive amount of dirt and debris entering your pool. Be sure to re-assemble correctly!

About Cartridge Filters
Cartridge Cleaning Instructions
Clean the cartridge when filter canister pressure reaches 8 PSI above the initial system or new cartridge starting pressure, or within 30 days of startup of new plaster or pebble surface. This said, we recommend you clean your cartridge filter at least once every 4 months. If taken care of properly the cartridges should last about 5 years.

1. Remove the cartridge from the filter housing following the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Use a garden hose with a straight flow nozzle to wash down the filter element. Work from the top down, holding the nozzle at a 45 degree angle, and wash all the pleats with emphasis between pleats.
3. Rinse until all dirt and debris is gone.
4. To remove suntan lotions, and other oils from the cartridge filter, soak the element for at least one hour in (a) a commercial filter cleaner; or
(b) one cup trisodium phosphate (TSP) to five gallons water; or (c) one cup dishwasher detergent to five gallons of water.
5. Rinse the cartridge again to remove oils and cleaning solution.
Important note: If the pressure gauge reading does not return to the original "clean" psi reading after the cartridges have been cleaned it may be necessary to acid wash the filter elements to remove buildup that is reducing water flow. Read below before proceeding to acid wash filter elements.

ACID WASHING FILTER ELEMENTS
1. If the filter has a coating of algae, calcium, or other minerals, soak the cartridge in a solution of 1 part muriatic acid to 4 parts water until all bubbling stops.
2. Rinse the cartridge clean and reassemble housing.
WARNING: Failure to remove all oils and cleaning solution before acid soaking will result in a permanent restriction of water flow and cause premature cartridge failure.
Important Note about Acid Washing Your Cartridge Filter Element. Acid washing is perhaps the biggest single factor leading to premature cartridge failure. As a rule of thumb, acid wash only when required, if at all, and never without thoroughly cleaning the element with a cartridge degreaser first. Here is a simple test to determine if acid washing is required. After thoroughly cleaning the cartridge with a degreasing agent, flush the cartridge with a garden hose to remove all traces of soap, etc. Now apply several drops of acid directly to a small area of the filter media. If bubbling occurs, this indicates a build up of calcium or minerals, and you should proceed with a mild acid soak. If no bubbling is observed, your cartridge most likely does not require acid washing.
