Hi All Thank you all very much for taking the trouble to reply, I now feel a lot more confident to tackle this little job. I will prepare a short resume of my location here in Italy and post it another day. Thanks again. Gerry Brindisi, Puglia, Southern Italy. (Brit, Ex-Pat)

Hi All I have just typed ''spider gasket within the multi-valve'' into 'GOOGLE' and up has come all the information a man could possibly wish for. I now feel really clever and ready to have a go. I will strip the top off the Multi valve tomorrow, take a photograph with a ruler attached to...

Hi jblizzle Thank you for a really swift response. Yes it is the sight glass and it does seem to be leaking all the time. The filter assembly has been in use for over 7 years now, so quite possibly bits have become a bit worn. (''spider gasket within the multi-valve is leaking allow water to...

Hi all I have a small problem with a small part of the filter assembly (please see enclosed photograph). For some time I have been aware of a leak, I have looked everywhere but couldn't find it until today. I am a bit worried about trying to tighten the part or remove it to seal it a bit...

Hi UnderWaterVanya Thanks for the information, it has really helped with another problem I have with another pool. Perhaps I can explain. I am a retired photographer, now an ex-pat from the UK living in southern Italy. Having been self employed all my life I found it difficult to just switch...

Hi dmanb2b Thank you so much for an amazingly fast reply. Yes, the control is set to filter. I gave it a 15 minute backwash before starting, topping the pool at the same time. The pool is quite a large one. 15m x 10m x 2.9m at the deep end. I think that all I can do is to perhaps empty the...

Hi I can't find that this topic has already been covered, but if I have missed it then my apologies. Where I live the soil is very dry and a bit like talcum powder, the slightest breeze and the pool bottom is covered in brown dust so constant cleaning is the order of the day. Just recently I...

I use an 'AQUACHEK' meter which gives me three readings. Ch - PH - ALK I've used it for about three years and apart from the problem with this particular pool have had absolutely no other problems with chemical levels. I think that the answer is something obscure, but have no idea what it...

Thanks for the interest and replies. My last lot of readings, which have been fairly constant throughout this saga with this pool are: Chlorine - 1.4 PH - 7.1 Alkaline - 0.85 As for all of the other readings you asked for I have no idea, nor how to check for them. I hope the above...

Hi All I came accross this site whilst searching in desperation for information. I live in Southern Italy, near Brindisi. I'm retired and to fill in the long hours of wall to wall sunshine, I started looking after a few swimming pools. I devoured every piece of information, bought the biggest...
