I am looking for something to turn on / off our pool filter while we are away- am I looking at the right product and is it easy to install?

Hi, It sounds like you need the entire timer if you don't have a timer right now. If you do have a timer then you need to look at the brand, these trippers work with most Intermatic and Tork brand timers, if so look at the brand and model number. The timer trippers are just replacement parts for existing timers. If you don't have a timer then what kind of timer you need depends on the load and voltage of your pump. You might need a Intermatic Pool Timer 220 Volts T104R3. Installation of a timer may require an electrician. Amazon sells entire pool timers Just search for Pool Timers.

These are metal clips that you can use to set a schedule on a separate timer. You'll need a timing system beyond these pieces.

If you have the right kind of intermatic control box. These two items (off, on) is all you need.

Hi, againListen I was totally wrong about my advice. The X-10 system does does not have automatic turn/off capability. You have to be there to turn it on and then return when you want to turn it off. That's the way I use it. I forgot you you needed an automatic system. So, forget my previous email altogether. I was being too provincial and not thinking. Sorry.

These are standard pieces that come with most in ground filter systems with a timer box. If you manually turn on and off your filter without a timer these won't help

Yes it is the correct product and works great on the timer that was installed by pool company. This is a set of clips that attach to timer dial to trigger on and off. I have this on filter and polaris timer.

If you have the metal wheel timer, that looks similar to a clock, these would work great.

yes, but for that I would strongly recommend a mechanical timer that are used for pool filters. Much, much more reliable. This unit will, I repeat WILL fail within 18 months. I went through 2 . . . the first failed in 6 months, the second 13 months. Cheers!

it is a sand filter pool BUT I feel it is worth the investment to buy the salt water chlorine generator. I put it in line with the sand filter and I had a clear pool all summer. All I had to do was vacuum it and test the water to see if I had to run the chlorinator longer that night or not.

I was able to install with water in the pool. Just be well organized and understand the directions before you begin. I would also recommend dry fitting the new outlet system outside the pool so you can see how it should be installed. Have all the installation parts at close hand for quick a install. "Caution" you will lose some water, the job took me about 30 minutes. Hopes this helps.

Yes, the left side will run the filter, the right side the Polaris, just slide red switch at the bottom, you pull out towards you and turn circular around to set timers. place the on and off attachments, and you are set, but you can also manually just turn one or both on at the same time. or go on you tube, and type in the name and it will show you everything you need to know, I learnt all about a pool straight from you tube!

Marcus. Although mine is installed, I have not used it a lot, but you definately want to put it on a separate Switch and turn it off when not using. It is just for washdown during fishing or after heading back. It comes with a Switch and all the necessary parts, but I wired to my console panel switch. It needs water, not dry, or would definately keep running to try and build pressure and run down the battery. You could keep it on all the time, but in my case it shares the intake with the LIve Well and you cannot run both at the same time anyway. Hope that helps.

So I have retired from reviewing (and most all else in life). I have a better excuse for being answerless: I haven't installed the unit. So sorry. Best you go to their online site or call toask the manufacturer. Such questions also get spiffs of free filter(s). Most all major manufacturers life to hear from customers: You may get on a list of bargains on replacement filters, too. rclarknv

Sun breaks down chlorine quickly. I'd buy it, install it (including adding the salt), and leave the power off until the next time your pool needs chlorine. Then turn it on.

I already have a booster pump for the jacuzzi and right now my pool guy is connecting the cleaner to a pipe connected to the filter pump (variable speed). So I have a valve that controls the flow of water to the cleaner and to the swimming water filtering circuit. I already have 4 pumps (filter, waterfall, slide, and booster) and I no longer have the space to add another pump. I think I am going to take your recommendation for which I thank you and purchase the 360. Any comments from you on this approach will be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

easy to install, yes to filter but I would not buy another. Bought it for my camper and it does not work well.

For my installation I also ordered the Polaris Iq900-Rs Aqualink Upgrade Kit too so I could have full variable speed programming control. I replaced a 10 year old Aqualink and Jandy Stealth 2.0HP pump so I could cut my electricity bill. In my case, dropping the pump speed from the fixed 3750rpm to the variable speed 1750rpm (~one half) dropped the pump power from 2.1kW to 200W. I ended up bumping up the speed setting to get the chlorine generator to work efficiently. Changing the Aqualink controller gave me a lot of flexibility in the power vs flow programming that I wouldn't have had -- I recommend that you change out the controller too. The controller switch took about 2-3 hours. The pump swap took considerably longer because the old Jandy Stealth Pump connections were not the same as the new ones. I had to order a new valve and connectors. All that being said, a friend of mine (different controller and different pump) used some kind of relay system that gave him primitive 3-speed control. IMHO, spending the extra ~$600 to get variable speed and wifi control was worth it. In my case running the pool filter system was 1/3rd of my electricity bill -- changing to flexible variable speed programming saves a ton of money each month that offsets the cost of the controller upgrade.

Unplug it from the wall, plug it back after 20 secs. It probably needs filter cleaned. If you found the manual it tells you how to clean filter or lookup brondell.com. Does it work? If not check water intake for blocks.

If you look at the book it could mean a lot of things. I have found that if you change the mode to the top choice (standby) then go to either spa or pool service normally goes off. If that doesn't work it may not be getting enough pressure; clean the filter. If that doesn't work you have to follow the book.

Comes on automatically since you have all the settings set up. I have it connected to a timer...when the timer turn son it turns on the pool pump and the Hayward. Same principal if you have a power outage.

Absolutely. It will keep your pool water sparkling clean. This sand filter system is awesome. I recommend it AND the saltwater system to everyone who asks. I am so glad I'll never again have to spend money on replacement paper filters or harsh expensive pool chemicals. These systems are great time savers too. My pool almost takes complete care of itself. Once it is set up in the spring and the timers are set I really don't need to do much more except relax and enjoy it!

The maintenance is minimal, you just back flush the sand filter when the pressure gets low. A skimmer is a must for insects and other debris that fall into the pool. We just cut ours on a few days ago for the second year and sounds noisy, so maybe buying another one soon. We could not tell that the electric consumption changed from the fresh water pump that came with the pool.

The Brondell S1000-RW was easy to install. We've had it now for about 6 months and feel cleaner having it.
