    How do I clear a clogged air line to Spa

    That worked. I just focused on sucking out the line and getting all the water out of the water out of the line. I let the shop vac run for about 30 min non stop and filled the bucket. Then I did about 20 min more of sucking it out with a smaller line that I put down to the first bend of the p...

    How do I clear a clogged air line to Spa

    Very little in the beginning. Today, I pulled off the blower and noticed the pipe is now full to the top with water. I am thinking that the pressure is too great for my shop vack to push out all the watter that is in the pipe. The first time I just drained it down below the jets. This time I...

    How do I clear a clogged air line to Spa

    Well the blowing and the sucking has not dislodged the blockage. Thinking out loud: If the blockage is the cap I dropped in the skimmer, it seems that it would be stuck between the skimmer and the basket at the pump and I am not sure how it would block the air in that case. Using the...

    How do I clear a clogged air line to Spa

    What I understand is you are saying first attach the shop vac to the blower pipe and suck out the line there. For that I suppose emptying out the spa is the first step. If that does not work then blow at the blower side of the line. I suppose alternating back and forth will hopefully dislodge...

    How do I clear a clogged air line to Spa

    I am getting no air mixed in with the water at the spa. I feel the water pump out strong. I cleaned the filter. I turn on the blower and no air is going through. I have taken the blower off of the pipe and I can see water at the bottom of the pipe. I think this is normal. I have tried to...

    Replacing the SunTouch Motherboard--Programming

    I have set the spa to 2800 and heater to 1500. I hope that this sounds about right. If anyone could give me a thumbs up or down on how I have set this up that would be nice. This appears to work.

    Polaris 380 runs constantly

    I have noticed that the sweeper (Polaris 380) runs constantly lately when the pool is on. It is set to run on Aux 2 on my SunTouch Panel. I have checked the schedule for Aux 2 and nothing has changed there. It is set to run from 11:00 to 12:00. And yet, when the pool is on Aux 2 is running and...

    Why does my pool filter not circulate to the spa anymore?

    How to set up my Suntouch to circulate for Pool and Spa I have a simple set up: a pool with a spill over spa, Suntouch Pannel, two valve actuators, Inteliflow pump. No solar. I had the pentair guy change out the CVA valve actuator because it was not turning and the spa was constantly blowing...

    Why does my pool filter not circulate to the spa anymore?

    Re: Why does my pool filter not circulate to the spa anymore Thank you again. That helped. I took a look and opened up the valve that he replaced 100% by flipping the switch on the side and I get the spill over with the filter running like it used to do. Is there a setting I need to do in...

    Why does my pool filter not circulate to the spa anymore?

    Re: Why does my pool filter not circulate to the spa anymore Thank you for your reply. Yes, the spa seems to work ok when I hit spa. Both valves turn as they should. It is just not circulating with the filter when the pool is running. I do not see any spill over. The water in the spa is...

    Why does my pool filter not circulate to the spa anymore?

    My pool filter is no longer circulating water in the spa (spill over). It circulates to the pool and sweeper just fine however. This happened after the Pentair guy came and changed out one of my CVA valve actuators that was not turning. What may be going on here? I would like to be able to...
