Wilbur,

How do you install the circulators? Is the inside of your returns smooth?

[wilbur14]

yes, they are smooth and the just screw on in place of the eyeball diverter. They have a website if you google. Most poolsupplies sites have them

[Shifty]

I don't have an eyeball diverter. That is why I asked if your returns were smooth. To me it seems the diverter would need to snugly fit the returns since there are no grooves to screw it into the returns. Just curious because it would be nice to position one of my returns towards the floor to kick up any debris that settles.

I was curious to see what a circulator was so I did google it. (Anybody wanna go swimming in that pool filled with red dye? How many gallons of bleach ya think it would take to clean that mess up!)

Yet another product without a purpose. My personal opinion is that this quote;

and in just a few short months the Circulator will pay for itself and put money back in your pocket with savings in electricity, heating, and maintenance. Chemicals work much more efficiently to give you a safer and healthier pool.

is wrong in every detail.

However, users very likely can always expect to see the sort of pressure problems experienced by the original poster in this thread.

. . . The general rule here is, "Don't buy from someone who's trying to hide from you!"

I can't see how you would ever get floating debris into the skimmer if you used the circulator. I also think you would have to vacuum more often because any floating stuff that would normally make it into the skimmer would, (I think) get forced down to the floor of the pool.
