Pentair WhisperFlo VS (VST) Pool pump

 The Whisperflo single-speed pump has dominated the pool industry for decades, and it would only be fitting for it to get its own VS version. This is a direct drop-in replacement for a single-speed WhisperFlo pump or the older IntelliFlo VS pumps.



If you like the WhisperFlo pump, you currently have and were thinking of getting a VS pump, this would be great. All you need to do is remove the old pump and drop this one in. You would have very minimal replumbing. The inlet and outlet of the WhisperFlo VS will line right up with your old WhisperFlo pump. 

If you are replacing a 1.5 or 2 hp single-speed WhisperFlo, there probably is no need to go up to a 3 THP IntelliFlo3 pump. You can save a little money with this pump and with 2.6 THP it will have plenty of power for you. It can also easily be connected to the latest automated systems and comes with a Comm port for your Pentair automated systems. 

The Pentair VST (Variable Speed Technology) pool pump is a type of swimming pool pump designed to provide energy-efficient and customizable circulation for pools and spas. Here are some key features and information about the Pentair VST pool pump:
1. Variable Speed Technology (VST): This technology allows the pump to operate at various speeds, providing the flexibility to match the pump's performance to the specific needs of the pool or spa. This can lead to significant energy savings compared to single-speed pumps.
2. Energy Efficiency: The VST pump is known for its energy efficiency. Running the pump at lower speeds during periods of lower demand can reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
3. Customizable Speed Settings: The pump typically offers multiple speed settings that can be adjusted to optimize water flow for different activities such as filtration, heating, water features, and cleaning.
4. Quiet Operation: Variable-speed pumps often run more quietly than traditional single-speed pumps, which can be a desirable feature for homeowners who want to minimize noise levels around their pool area.
5. Compatibility with Pool Automation Systems: The Pentair VST pump is often designed to integrate with pool automation systems, allowing users to control the pump's settings remotely through a mobile app or a centralized pool control system.
6. Compliance with Energy Efficiency Regulations: Many regions have energy efficiency regulations in place for pool pumps. The Pentair VST pump is likely designed to meet or exceed these standards, making it a suitable choice for areas with strict energy consumption guidelines.
7. Durable Construction: Pentair is known for producing high-quality pool equipment, and the VST pump is likely built to withstand the rigors of regular pool use. It may be constructed with corrosion-resistant materials for long-term durability.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
