See my sig for equipment. The filter is a Sta-Rite System 3. I cleaned my cartridges 2 weeks ago, and thought all was fine, but I just noticed that at high RPM, I get about 3 drips. When my system turns on, for some reason my variable speed pump always senses that it needs to prime itself (it...

Originally my solar heating system did not have a VRV, so I added one, it's at the low end of the panels near where the cold water feeds in. I'm now hearing a little bit of water hammer when the solar valve comes on. Is this an issue? It's not too bad, just a few mild thumps. Does it have...

Hi Everyone, Something weird happened this morning. A couple months ago, I shut off the solar heating in the Easytouch system, and opened a hose bib at the bottom of the solar panels to drain them, as instructed by my builder (I notice that many of you have a vacuum release valve, and a...

Hi, This is my first post since introducing myself. Again, thanks for the great resource. FC 5.5 CC 0 CYA 55 pH 7.5 or 7.6 TA 110 CH 220 Temp 50F For the first time since I've been maintaining this pool (just about 3 months, it's a new build), the CSI has dropped to -.33, and the pool...

Hi Everyone, Just finished a new build in September; I'm a total novice and know nothing other than what I've learned here at TFP. I've been lurking awhile, and I'm really impressed with the knowledge and quality of the site! Thanks, Don
