    Now I'm curious... if there is a brand or company name on the device, please post. Maybe a part #?
    10,000 gallon IG vinyl liner pool, BBB user, salt added to 2300 ppm (because it makes the water feel great!), new liner/new water on 6/23/11, algae-free since 2006 (at least that's as far back as I remember). 1HP Hayward 2-SPEED CONVERTED Superpump, Hayward sand filter, PS234 test kit.
    Goal: To remain completely algae-free for the life of this new liner!
    Life lesson: It is what it is.


    12'x24' oval 9K gal IG pool; bleach; Hayward 244T sand filter; Hayward Super pump, 1 HP, 2-speed pump; 24hrs on low speedhrs; PS234; utility water; summer: ; winter: ; android phone; PF:13

    Too late for me to look, my wife mailed it this afternoon, you'll have to wait for Jim to receive it. Maybe the manufacturer's name is on it.

    I would think that opposite pitches on the fan blades would cause water to be sucked in the side and forced out both ends, as Jim describes. Basic turbo-charger technology: One fan spins the other. It would be clearer how it worked if they were separate chambers with separate intakes and exhausts connected solely by the shaft. But, if the pitches are correct, it should work with the single intake.

    However, I'm not not sure why this is better or more practical than just using the return.
