The Posi-Clear RP gives you everything you could ask for in a cartridge pool filter. The new design of this pool filter is nearly 50% more efficient than any other single cartridge pool filter on the market! And it offers top-of-the-line performance to keep your pool sparkling clear. Here are some tips on the Posi-Clear RP Cartridge Pool Filter.

• This pool filter operates under pressure. When the lock ring is installed properly and operated without air in the water system, the pool filter will operate in a safe manner.
• The maximum working pressure of this pool filter is 50 psi. Never subject the pool filter to pressure in excess of this amount, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures about 50 psi can cause the lid to be blown off, which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage.

Warning: This pool filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g. lock ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to blow off, which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions:

1. Before repositioning valves and before beginning the assembly, dissambly, or adjustment of the lock ring or any other service of the circulating system: (A) turn the pool pump off and shut off any automatic controls to assure that the system is not inadvertantly started during the servicing; (B) open the air relief valve; and (C) wait until all pressure is relieved – the pressure gauge must read zero (0).
2. Whenever installing the filter lock ring, follow the filter lock ring installation instructions exactly.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete, follow system restart instructions exactly.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately (e.g. lock ring, pressure gauge, relief valve, O-rings, etc.)
5. Be sure that the pool filter is properly mounted and positioned according to the instructions provided.

When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing system, ensure that the Maximum Pressure that the filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM. In most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.

If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.

• The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the pool filter is operating. Maintain the pressure gauge in good working order.

Warning: Your pool filter is a piece of machinery. Do not tamper with it, attempt to disassemble it, or otherwise adjust it unless you fully understand its operation. Serious injury or death can occur if the equipment is improperly handled. Consult a pool service professional for maintenance and service assistance.

• Clean the pool filter when the pressure reads between 8-10 psi higher than the original starting pressure. The pool filter pressure reading will increase as it removes dirt from the pool. However, this buildup of pressure will vary due to different bathing loads, temperature, weather conditions, etc.
  • Tip: Make note of the original starting pressure so you will know when it is time to clean it.

Note: When the cartridge element filter is used on new pools and after cleaning the elements, introduce into the system .5 pounds of diatomaceous earth (DE) per every 100 square feet of filter area. Mix the DE with water per package instructions and pour it into the skimmer after the pump is primed and the system is operating. This will enhance the filtration of your pool water.

The Jandy® AquaPure® Ei™ chlorine generator offers soft, silky pool water with easy do-it-yourself installation. The AquaPure Ei generates pure, natural sanitizer year-round using ordinary salt. Here’s how to select the correct model size for the AquaPure Ei in just two easy steps.

Step 1: Determine Pool Size (Gallons of Water in Your Pool)

• Rectangular Pools
  • Average length (feet) x average width (feet) x average depth (feet) x 7.5 = gallon capacity
• Circular Pools
  • Diameter (feet) x diameter (feet) x average depth (feet) x 5.9 = gallon capacity
• Oval Pools
  • Long diameter (feet) x short diameter (feet) x average depth (feet) x 5.9 = gallon capacity
• Sloping Sides
  • Multiply total gallons by 0.85 = gallon capacity

Step 2: Select Model Size

The AquaPure Ei chlorine generator produces 0.62 ounces of chloine per hour. Residential pools require one unit per 35,000 gallons of pool water. In areas with year-round use and high pool water temperatures, such as Florida, Texas, Arizona, Las Vegas, and Southern California, the following must be considered:

• Year Round Pool Use: Upsizing the AquaPure Ei chlorine generator or adding more than one unit may be recommended for pools that are close to the maximum size and used year-round. Please consult your local Pinch A Penny pool professional for more information.
• High Pool Water Temperatures: Because pool chlorine demand increases with the rise of pool water temperature, adjustments must be made in order to keep up with pool chlorine demand. In hot summer months when the water temperature rises above 85°F, you must increase pool pump run time and increase the percentage.

Pool filtration costs are typically the second- or third-largest energy cost in the home, following air conditioner and hot water expenses. Two-speed or variable-speed pool pumps deliver immediate savings on your electric bill that can range from 75-90%!

Hayward Super 1hp Dual Speed 230v Pool Pump

Here’s more on saving money with a 2-speed or variable-speed pool pump.

• Variable-speed pool pumps can be set to run at lower speeds but still offer the same or better pool cleaning by running for longer periods of time.
• Lower speeds on pool pumps reduce energy use to one-fourth of the energy use associated with higher speeds, despite the increased run time.
• Lower speeds also mean that 2-speed and variable-speed pool pumps make less noise.
• High speeds on these pool pumps are still available when needed for spa therapy jets, pool cleaners, or water features.
• While reaping the cost benefits of these pool pumps, you’ll also be decreasing pollution and saving limited resources.

The small increase in upfront cost associated with converting to a 2-speed or variable speed pool pump will save a significant amount of money over the lifetime of the pool pump. The pool pump will pay for itself in energy savings in as little as two years. Stop by your local Pinch A Penny pool supplies store today to find out more about these money-saving pool pumps!

Most Pinch A Penny customers prefer shocking with liquid chlorine vs. granular chlorine shock. Here are some of the reasons – and remember, while you’re in the store picking up liquid chlorine, a Pinch A Penny Pool Care Expert can answer all your pool care questions!

• Liquid Chlorine is Cleaner: With liquid chlorine, there is no granular powder to settle on the bottom of your pool and cloud your pool water.
• Liquid Chlorine is Quicker: Liquid chlorine begins working instantly; granular chlorine shock must dissolve first.
• Liquid Chlorine is Non-Scaling: Over time, granular chlorine shock can lead to excessively high calcium or stabilizer levels, which can cause scaling or pool stains. Liquid chlorine does not cause these problems.
• Liquid Chlorine Costs Less: Liquid chlorine is up to 60-80% less costly than granular chlorine shock, because the chlorine strength of 2.5 gallons of liquid chlorine would require 4-7 lbs. of granular chlorine shock.

The Porpoise Flip Floating Chlorine Dispenser features patented “flip” technology that notifies you when it’s time to add more chlorine tablets, making it easier to manage pool chemical levels.

The Porpoise Flip Floating Chlorine Dispenser features five release settings, allowing you to select the flow of chemicals into the pool. Once the flow rate has been set, the floating chlorine dispenser can be placed into the pool, where it will release a steady flow of sanitizer. When it’s full, it will be upright. When it’s nearly empty, it will lean slightly. And when it’s empty, it will flip on its side, indicating that more chlorine tablets need to be added.

Managing pool chemical levels is something that pool owners must do on a regular basis to keep the pool healthy and sparkling-clear. The Porpoise Flip Floating Chlorine Dispenser is a simple and cost-effective way of keeping a close eye on pool chemical levels without having to lift the floater out of the water, which can be messy with some chlorine dispensers, to see if the chlorine tablets need to be replaced.

The Porpoise Flip Floating Dispenser also comes in a smaller version for spa use.
