Until now all pool pumps were sized for the largest amount of water needed, typically the spa.
 This was very inefficient for the day to day operation of the pool, which generally requires up to half the water demand of the spa.
 With the VS 3050, we can adjust the pump speed up or down to achieve the correct water flow without wasting electricity pumping water that we don’t need. 

Typical energy savings of 30% can total hundreds of dollars per year. Service life of critical parts is dramatically extended because the pump is always working at peak efficiency. IntelliFlo VS 3050 is quieter than a whisper, emitting just 7-10 decibels. Simply dial pump speed up or down to change water flow and multiply the effects of your water features. Easily linked to EasyTouch® pool and spa control systems for even greater convenience and control.

Here are realistic estimates when comparing IntelliFlo to a traditional pump running between 3.6 and 12 hrs/day at various utility rates (in dollars per kilowatt hours [kwh]) in a 20,000 gallon pool.

• At $0.15/kwh estimated savings range from $324 to  $1356 per year
• At $0.20/kwh estimated savings range from $432 to $1808 per year
• At $0.30/kwh estimated savings range from $649 to $2712 per year

Every pool is different. Because of this we would love the opportunity to assess your individual needs and possible savings. Some pools may require new time clocks or controllers to achieve the highest gains in efficiency.

Things you need when owning a pool !

To begin you will need a good telescopic swimming pool pole from 8ft to 16ft so that you can reach from one side of the pool to the other. Next you will need attachments ,Leaf rake will 
help you get debris off the top of the water, and a brush will help keep algae from growing on the walls., A vacuum head and hose will get the stuff on the bottom of the pool .You will need to clean with these weekly to help keep the pool looking blue.You will also need a floating chlorine dispenser with 3inch tabs to help keep up the chlorine in the pool.

  

I also recommend getting a cleaner I like this one a lot the Barracuda G3

Pros: Cleans Entire Pool                                                                                       Cons:  None

Hassle Free Operation

No Hang Ups                                     


"After years of hang-ups and so-so results with my Kreepy Krawly, I asked my pool guy what he thought was the best automatic pool cleaner on the market. He said "The Pool Cleaner" is the one to go with. After reading up on it and its various reviews, I bought the 2-wheel model. So far I have to say it is one of the best investments I have made for my pool. It is easy to assemble, what little there is, and very easy to "program" the wheel speed of the cleaner. I had it up and running within 10 - 15 minutes after taking it out of the box and attaching the hoses. So far, in the month and a half I've had it, I have had no hang-ups, which always occured with the Kreepy Krawly, and it is silent in it's operation. The Kreepy Krawly made a vibrating sound, which gets annoying when the pumps come on in the morning and wakes you up. "The Pool Cleaner" looks to be of the highest quality, and being made in the USA is just an added bonus when buying this product.
I would highly recommend this to anybody looking for a new pool cleaner."

Testing the water

At least once a week, the swimming pool water needs to be tested to ensure certain levels of pool chemicals. This is most conveniently done after the filter.
A balanced swimming pool really only needs to have the pH and chlorine levels checked and corrected on a regular basis, the other chemical values being measured less frequently.
A good pool test kit is a must - preferably one that uses tablets rather than liquid drops. Expired tablets/ test liquids (reagents) should be thrown out as they very often give inaccurate readings, resulting in us pouring unnecessary (expensive) chemicals into our swimming pools. Always keep the test kit in a cool dry place out of the sun and out of the reach of children.
When testing the pool water, rinse the cells of your test kit thoroughly before filling them with water from at least 20-30 cm below the surface of the swimming pool. When you're finished the tests, never empty the test solution back into the swimming pool.

Weekly pool water testing
pH
Chlorine
If there are no obvious problems in your swimming pool, the following tests need only be done every 3 months or so but preferably every month. They are either undertaken by a professional swimming pool consultant who comes to your pool, or they can be done at many specialist pool shops if you take them a pool water sample (in a clean glass jar!).
Monthly pool water testing:
Total Alkalinity
Calcium Hardness
Total Dissolved Solids
Stabiliser
If the water in your area is free from any metals and your swimming pool shows none of the symptoms of iron or copper presence, the test for these metals is unnecessary.If, however, you notice staining on the walls and floor of the swimming pool, you should have the levels of these metals checked.
