Im back. I got my new Pentair Intelliflo pump today. The old Sta-Rote pump had the male threads that the union connects to. The new pump requires a new union half to screw into the pump. There is a part number on the union nuts U11-200PS. Is there a union half that will connect to this or do I...

I was out of town for a week and just got back. My pump isn’t running. It’s a Sta-Rite Intellipro variable speed. The display is blank but the orange back light works. It’s connected to an easy touch system. Any suggestions where to start for troubleshooting? My daughter said while we were...

I have a Sta-Rite max e therm heater. Rats made a nest for who knows how long their pee rusted out the top of the combustion chamber. I was thinking about buying a Pentair heater to replace it. I read they are the same internals. Will the water and gas connections line up on the Pentair or will...

I have a Sta-Rite variable speed pump P6E6VS4H-209L. it’s leaking at the band clamp. I ordered a new seal U9-228A. After living up the new seal and replacing it the leak is still there. It’s just a drip and it’s not gushing. I don’t see any cracks on the housing or seal plate. I did notice that...

I have a Pentair easytouch 4 system. The actuator on my intake side started clicking and wouldn’t turn without me helping it. I bought a Intermaric actuator and installed it today. The valves work correctly when I push the valve button. The problem is the system won’t communicate with the...

I have a Pentair Easy touch system on my pool with Pentair actuators. When I switch to spa mode one of the actuators clicks and I have to help it move by hand. I assume the gears are shot. Can I replace it with a Jandy actuator? Will those work with my Pentair automation? They are quite a bit...

I'm in the process of having a pool built. I'm doing noche travertine coping and decking. This will a freeform pool with a 18" raised spa and 12" raised wall along the back. I'm having a hard time deciding what type of stone to use on the sides and spillway of the spa and the raised wall. I was...

Hello. I'm in the process of setting up appointments for bids on a new pool. I live on the east side of Dallas in Rockwall. most of the bigger names I see on here don't want to come out this far (Riverbend, Foley, A&S etc.). I wanted to get feedback on some of the companies I have coming out...

I'm considering putting in an inground pool at my new house. The only thing I'm concerned about is the equipment access. These lots only have a 5ft setback on the side property line and they are front entrance garages. How much space is needed to get the digging equipment into the backyard...

I'm having a problem with my Hayward heater. It is a model H400FDN 400,000 btu. A few months ago the thin sheet of plastic that covers the buttons fell off. I couldn't find it so I just put some electrical tape on it. I have Jandy controls and never use the buttons. Now I'm going to sell my...

I'm trying to figure out what this white powder is that my cleaner keeps picking up. It has about golfball size clump of white powder each week. Also the white plaster on the walls feels gritty. I don't think it's de since it seems to be coarser even after it dries out. My calcium was out of...

I got a quote yesterday to replaster my pool with a finish called sparkle quartz. It's made by finest finish. My pool is 3 years old and I hate the white plaster. The quote was for $3500 for a 13k gallon pool and attached spa. Anyone have any experience with this product? I also got a quote for...

I have a question about my new salt system. Are the grey unions supposed to come off of the bottom of my cell? If I take the nuts loose the unions wont come out of the body. Is there a trick to it? Taking them off will make plumbing it in much easier.

I need some help with a leak on the multi port valve for my Hayward de filter. It's leaking around the base of the handle. For the past year or so I just noticed some water sitting there. Now it's dripping. Everything I've found talks about water leaking out of the backwash line. This is just at...

I'm thinking about sealing my Oklahoma flagstone. I read that I need to pressure wash it first and do it first thing in the morning when its cool outside. I was going to use the 511 sealer from home depot unless someone has a better suggestion. I'll be converting to salt soon and want to do this...

Hello. I'm considering converting over to salt. I'm still not sure about picking the right size SWG. My pool is around 13,000 gallons. I'm in Dallas where its over 100 degrees quite often during the summer. The pool is also in full sun most of the day. I've been looking at the Compupool systems...
