    Is there a way to turn the spa return 100% off?

    Took some pics to my pool store. Decided it was time to replace my filter grids (5yrs old), hoping that improved the flow. Showed a pic of my return side to the guys and here's what they said. Basically, the way they built my pool....the put a common return line with a check valve to my spa...

    Is there a way to turn the spa return 100% off?

    Well.....not sure accessing the valve is going to help me. Just went out an put my actuator in manual mode (disengaged the drive) and moved the handle every which way. In no position was I able to get the 20% going back to the spa to shut off completely. So, it's not the cams in the actuator...

    Is there a way to turn the spa return 100% off?

    While this shows the actual actuator (mine is a hayward...same thing), I think I need to actually get into the Jandy VALVE....not just the actuator. The actuator, like others have said, has 2 full positions, which is what mine does. (I see you can adjust those in the manual, but that doesn't...

    Is there a way to turn the spa return 100% off?

    Yup... Mine set up the exact same. Spa mode is 100% to from spa. Pool mode 80/20 (or whatever). Spillover pulls from pool, returns to spa.

    Is there a way to turn the spa return 100% off?

    My spa returns to probably 8 different eyeballs. Not clear on what you mean about putting a plug on my spa return. The actual return valve is a jandy.

    Is there a way to turn the spa return 100% off?

    Are we talking about taking the Jandy valve apart? Resetting the valve position? It's got an electric actuator on it....but I've taken them off before, as well as replacing the seals on a Jandy.

    Is there a way to turn the spa return 100% off?

    IG 15K gallon pool with attached elevated spa with a spillway, built 2013. Full Pentair Easy touch system with a VS filter pump. When I am running the pump, with both my suction and return valves fully on POOL, I still get some return to my spa. Enough to trickle over the spillway (but not...

    Pentair Intellibrite - 2 of 3 lights inop

    Yes.... Checked and they are getting 120v.... And all 3 lights are hooked to the same source. Lots of complaints on Amazon about these lights not lasting 2-3 years. I guess we we're lucky to get 5-6 years. Stupid expensive to replace. And don't last long for that kind of $$.

    Pentair Intellibrite - 2 of 3 lights inop

    A quick check on Amazon....the reviews seem to point to this light being a big piece of doodoo.

    Pentair Intellibrite - 2 of 3 lights inop

    Pool built by previous owner, 2013. I have 2 pool lights and one spa light. One of my pool lights and the spa light are not coming on at all. Have only pulled the one pool light that is inop. It's part number 601002. 120V LED color light. Full Pentair system with the EasyTouch 8 box...

    Winter months in TX, SWG use with Spa

    OK, so just disable the SWCG? I'm familiar with the bleach method as my previous pool did not have a SWCG. And so I'm clear....I should leave it in pool mode so I get the circulation, right? Put it in SPA mode only when I want to heat/use the spa? Any comment on what salt levels should be...

    Winter months in TX, SWG use with Spa

    Been reading up on winter use of my ic40 SWG. Pool temp is now 58, which I believe is the cutoff for the SWG to stop producing chlorine. The manual basically says that's all I need to do unless I anticipate freezing temps. I'm not quite understanding how that relates to my use of the attached...

    Airlock in secondary (cleaner) pump

    Just to keep this updated.... Got the filter cleaned this afternoon. Just put everything back together. Got cleaner pump running, all OK. After turning cleaner pump off, pulled cleaner to empty bag.....lo' and behold I have the familiar trickle of water coming from the cleaner jets like I'm...

    Airlock in secondary (cleaner) pump

    Been here just over a year. Issue, at least that I've noticed, probably the last 3-4 months or so? Not real clear on that.
