Repair worked great :) Thanks for the help!

Replaced the oring on the stem today using this video as a reference. Thanks! Will check tomorrow am once the blue gasket goop i applied to the spider gasket is set.

The stem oring is that difficult to replace? In comparsion to the cost differential that is ($7 vs $180)?

It looks like only the stem oring is contributing to the leak rather than the spider gasket as i originally thought. Is it worthwhile to do both since I'm opening it up or leave well enough alone and just do the stem?

Thanks, this was helpful. Looks like the handle O-ring (Part JV18) is leaking substantially now so I have to replace that.

Ok great. I misread what you typed earlier to be two seals, I understand what you're saying now. Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. Do I need to replace both seals? Is it pretty involved or straight forward? Think that is likely the cause of the air getting in? I see no obvious issues elsewhere.

Hey all! Pool opened up with minimal fanfare :) There is a leak at the multiport, which aside from losing water/chemicals, I believe is letting air into the system causing the pump to deprime after it stops running. Is this a simple case of having to replace a gasket or something else?

I opted to break down the filter for a full clean since that was quicker and easier with a second set of hands, plus it did a more thorough job. For this first night, do you think its better to leave it on filter or recirculate? If the pressure hasn't risen too much, I'll leave it on filter...

Hey all. Opened the pool today to a swamp after a cover failure during the winter. SLAM is in progress. We have a Pentair Quad 100 DE filter. Usually it lasts all summer without rising 10 PSI. It has gone up 12 PSI over starting within a few hours due to all the gunk in the pool. Is it...

It ended up being a multi port issue. The inner diverter portion was stuck on waste despite the handle being set to filter. Reseated the the handle and it corrected the issue ?

I do replace some water every year but not usually more than 20% so I feel like there would still be some cya but it never shows up. Idk, just one of those things I guess. Any thoughts to diluting the 5 gallons of muriatic in 10 gallons of water to create a longer run time on the stenner?

The pump would be running during dosing.

As the title states, every year when I open the pool, the cya levels read zero. What is happening to it? Is this normal during the off season while it's closed? Secondly, the ph always rises really high in the off season and it's causing the plaster to get rough. Is there any way to prevent...
