Hi Gil! you couldn't be more than few miles from me. I think we've had enough rain for now. Sam

Sounds like I need to install a 3-way valve between my pump and the DE filter so I can vacuum to waste. Which model valve would you reccomend?

I have a backwash valve that allows me to vacuum to waste if that's what you mean. I don't currently have a way to manually vacuum the bottom of the pool, but I will go today and get one at the pool store. Any suggestions on type/brand? I'm assuming the hose to the vacume connects to the...

With all the rain in Texas, the ground is saturated and last night we got a very hard rain which cause a river of run off to flow into my pool and cause a mess. The pool was crystal clear, and not it looks like a dirty pond with zero visibility. Should i keep the pump off for a few days and...

I have replaced my broken single speed pump motor with a two speed motor and added a 2 speed relay to my Aqualink RS6 controller. I configure the pump runtime to be 12 hours, and the low speed to start after two hours and to run for 10 hours. The pump starts and runs for the first two hours as...

For future reference, the Jandy DEL60 Pool filters take a 2" pressure gage, and not the 2 1/2" tftestkits.net sells. I should have measured the existing one before I ordered the new one because it doesn't fit in the housing. Sam

I am in the process of replacing a non-working 2hp single speed Jandy Stealth pump motor, with a new 2-speed motor. I have a Jandy Aqualink RS6 controller, and I see in the manual that the new 2-speed relay gets connected to the AUX-2 plug that my blower is currently connected to, but other...

Thanks for the great recommendation. I just ordered it. Sam

My current pressure gauge works fine, but it is almost impossible to read because the plastic lens is so cloudy so I would like to replace it. Can i replace just the gauge, or do i need to purchase the complete air gauge release assembly. I see that the gauge can be purchased separately, but...

Which online parts supplier ships the fastest?

Thanks! That is very helpful to understand. I hate ordering things that don't work together.

Can you think of any reason this motor wouldn't be comparable with the Jandy Aqualink RS controller and their 2 speed module? by the way, thanks for the seal kit replacement reminder. Do I order the seal kit for the pump or there there a seal kit for this new motor. I'm thinking that since...

The current motor is a 56J frame and it looks like the Century B976 is a 56C frame. does that difference matter, if I am reusing the existing pump housing and impeller?

My signature has been updated.

I do have a spa on the same pump, but the water feature is on a separate pump.
