It would help if there were some pics. It sounds like one, or both bearings on motor shaft are not pressed on enough, and when you tighten the long skinny through bolts it binds up

You can tie into the connector by gluing a 2'' coupling on the outside of the connector, then glue 2'' pipe to coupling, or glue 1.5'' to the inside of the connector, it won't matter that the pipe bottoms out in the connector, once it is glued in it will be fine. most likely you will be using...

You might as well be trying to find a cure for cancer. There is no magic answer here, what you need is a good repair tech that can come out and put eyes on everything and provide answers to your questions/concerns, and what repairs, if any, are needed, or recommended. The pressure you consider...

Replace the igniter...

Get the 4 wheel version, they are more stable, unlike the 2 wheel version which tends to rock forward or backward causing suction port under cleaner to not make good contact with pool floor. Stay away from MX6, can be pricey for parts, tends to jam up more with certain debris small rocks, etc...

You need to post some pics that show everything that's not underground, meaning, skimmer, pool equipment.

In the pic of the little girl playing with it, there is a sign behind her that says "to build a fountain you MUST start with two spouts of the same color" hard to tell how many spouts there are, other than the two yellow ones, and two purple ones that can be seen in pic. I would try capping...

overtime the filter will begin to rise in psi faster than usual, and possibly not go to the normal clean pressure of 16psi after bumping it, it will also rise in psi faster requiring more frequent bumping, This means it's time to disassemble the filter and clean the fingers inside, overtime the...

minor impellor blockage could be the reason, if the pump basket is broken or cracked etc, debris could get past basket and start clogging impellor, or if your basket needs to be frequently emptied out you could be leaving bits of debris that can also clog impellor, then usually over time the psi...

There are reputable pool service company's in your area, you won't have any problem finding a good tech to come out, as long as his experience involves other peoples pool's and not just the pool in his backyard...

Here's the trick to this filter, just set the lateral assembly inside filter, then center the standpipe with the filter opening, get a plastic cup or something to place over the stand pipe, pour the sand in filter, and always make sure as you fill it with sand that the standpipe remains...

This is a part that only jandy manufactures, the best place you will be able to purchase this part is through a retail supplier that can obtain or sell jandy related parts, a local pool supply store is where you need to go. As I stated in my previous post "You are missing a part called a tail...

Your missing the piece that glues to the end of the pipe, according to pic two, where there are only 3 pieces, there should be four. It might be possible to use the old bulkheads from old filter, knowing they thread onto old pieces on pipe, as long as they thread onto old filter. you are missing...

Do you think you could have gotten the same results without unions everywhere?

It's an acrylic shell, all of the hardware on the tub visible in the pic were commonly used in the 80's ( jet's, high mounted suction fitting, air control knob, air button ) and the air line holes on the seat area inside also date the shell to the 80's It doesn't matter what it is, I can make a...

CDC is all in house, with a proven track record, skilled crews, quality workmanship, and the owner of CDC is very hands on, in the field keeping things running smooth, etc..after all the years they have been in business, he is still in the field running his company, that should tell you a lot...

It looks like the cap on the big line has a slit cut through it on the back side, if so then its probably an air line for the spa jets. the ozone unit connection remnants ( tubing that connects to the pump ) should be removed, and a pump plug should take its place, this tubing has the potential...

Waterway, the snap in inserts are probably long gone, if you look inside the jet you can see ridges that go around on the back of jet, the long legs on the insert when pushed inside would slide over the ridges and hold it in place, after awhile im sure the wear of the ridges, from taking inserts...

That hose bib is plumbed in when pool is being built, so the hose bib on the side of your house can be connected to the one on your pump, with a garden hose, to pressurize the pool plumbing for inspection purposes, that is the only reason that it is there. After the plumbing passes inspection...

valve 4 should not be a 3 way valve, each line of the 3 lines to the left of valve 6 should each have there own valve ( like the skimmer line has ) the concern is the ? mark valve could be a vac line on the pool wall, if this line is open as it suggests in your pic on valve 4 then where the ...

You ran the pump dry, and the clog you describe is what caused that to happen. now you have fittings that are plumbed in and out of the pump which are now much looser from the heat a dry pump can create, (we call this meltdown) maybe the pump basket got melted too (check the basket) and other...

A dirty filter will cause noticeable reduction in performance of cleaner, and weak flow at water feature, but more importantly it will be confirmed as a dirty filter from a higher than normal psi reading on the gauge. But when you describe a low pressure scenario, and performance reduction in...

Put some heat on the pipe and pull it back.

Check the screen on the caretaker valve, it is on top of the valve, loosen the two unions and remove the 90' pipe assembly on caretaker valve, the screen sits on top, make sure the screen goes back in with the screen up like a mountain, not down like a bowl. The way the jandy valve is set in...

How long does it take the pump to pick up prime after it has been off for a few hours, or after removing the pump lid to clean the pump basket? You say half water half air, with the pump on, is the water cascading from the inlet pipe and pouring into the pump basket, or is there water movement...

Those Pentair/Pac-Fab valve bodies are known to develop cracks in that area, so its quite common, that's about as bad as they get, so don't concern yourself with potential catastrophic failure, there's nothing unsafe or dangerous about it now, or anytime down the road. Even if you installed a...

Pump seal is leaking, just because its new, doesn't mean it cant, or wont leak. The metal part of the ps1000 seal that inserts into the seal plate should have a light film of silicone applied to it, so when you press it into seal plate you will see where it squeezes out.

You have to use a 240v breaker, you cant use two 120v breakers and think of it as adding up to 240v, this is what it sounds like possibly based on the measurements you took at the pump, if you had a reading of 120v on L1 to ground, and 120v on L2 to ground, but 0v on L1 to L2 this would explain...

Pull the top valve assembly off, set the valve on the ground and try to use your knees on each side of valve plate and press down, this will take spring pressure off handle and you can easily push in, or remove pin etc. ..but hey, what do I know...

The jandy valve is correct for pumps installed below water level. The jandy swing check valve is for pumps installed 8 or more feet above water level,. It's as if the plumber forgot that, and installed both to be on the safe side..lol.
