will i make the problem worse if i was to put a hose onto the return line just before the check valve (to see if the water gets through ok) and then down each pipe for the spa return at the 3 way. this would confirm where the blockage occurs or where the valves were not working ? also when i...

i have a kind of filter chamber just after the filter and before the heater, i think its for purifying the water, i was going to open it to see if there was any debris casuing a blockage but despite my best efforts i cannot get it open (i turned the pump off first as indicated on the container)...

i have uploaded several photos to photo bucket which hopefully will show you the details http://s38.photobucket.com/user/fujijohn0/slideshow/

filter is brand new, just put in today, gauge seems to do the job, it is showing a change between pressure when on pool return versus spa return what i noticed is that when moving the return valve from pool to spa to create an overflow (which is how it used to work) there is a large gurgling...

When you set the valves to pool mode, do you get a strong flow out of the returns and does the pressure drop? thats correct If the flow is low and pressure is high in BOTH pool and spa modes, then you need to look between the filter and the pool/spa valve for problems. the flow wehn on pool...

hi just fitted the new filter, primed the pump, switched on to pool mode and the pressure has not changed, its still mid 30's with the polaris on spa not draining but not creating a strong enough overflow from spa to pool when running in pool mode with the return adjusted to spa slightly to...

thanks mark my new filter arrived yesterday, will replace the old one this week, the current one has a couple of rips and also a stress fracture on the manifold. when i put the polaris on the psi has risen to closer to 40.

the normal clean filter pressure on pool is around 25 psi, it currently is closer to 30 psi never had the spa on before in spa mode, just turned the blower on previously to get a spa effect so not sure what the pressure is normally on spa but at the minute it is also around the 30 psi mark, same...

there are 3 of these actuators the one in the pictures above does not move, i think it just feeds the main filter and / or that small cartridge filter for the polaris the other 2 do. the other two are the one immediately in front of the pump (suction) and the other is the one shortly after the...

yes the setting at the minute is pool mode but this valve does not move when switching between spa and pool or vice versa the small cartridge on the spa line is that what is also called the energy filter, drives the polaris cleaner , its on the right hand side of picture 2 above? i do clean...

thanks for the advise

i have included a couple of photos have some more but i couldn tpost them because i have exceeded the quota if you want i can email them

have taken these photos
