Yes. Still have the same issue...pump won't prime and times out. Small leak at caretaker.....nothing coming from jets nor do they pop up. No flow to jets. I see a little bit of water movement when I first start the pump. Ty.

Already tried one of those...has a black balloon on it....didn't work though. Thanks.

Replaced that check valve but still have no flow from the pool jets. The caretaker and filter gauges run are at 40 lbs. pressure and the pump is screaming along at 1500-1600 rpms. Balloon tested the three other capped and return line. Two went to the solar, one to a vacuum pipe in the middle of...

Hey, you were right about that check valve to the right being stuck! Got a replacement. Could you tell me if I can leave that screw on insert on the left and just use the parts in the pic for the replacement?Ty

Okay, Thanks for the clarification! Appreciate your help! Ed

You told me it was a solar return pipe and to cut above it so no I didn't blow air through it. When you say it "could be a return pipe but that's the only possibility". Saying "could" and then "it's the only possibility" doesn't sound too sure. If is is a return pipe then it must be for the...

Hello-Had my pool repipe done after cutting out what you recommended including "right above the solar return valve". Now I have no flow from my pool jets and hardly any flow elsewhere. I did have jets working in the past. I did get the leak fixed so the pool is holding water. Confused...

Thanks so much for the information!

Thanks! Looks like I replumbed it wrong over the weekend. Attached 3 pics 1. Replumbed wrongly 2. Correct Way 3. Without slide valve Could you check them out please? Heard the slide valve make a popping sound upon restart and I can hardly move the slider. I usually take out the cartridges to...

Thank you!

Would you advise replacing that slide valve since it is 6 years old? I guess I could just replace the orings inside. Because of the leak situation maybe it would be better to eliminate that as a suspect. Thanks!

Thanks! Do I need the costly pvc cutter or can I hack saw it?

[attachment=0:ck4bfusj]Repipe cuts 4-20.jpg[/attachment:ck4bfusj]Thanks! Couldn't I reuse the slide valve if I cut it after those tight elbows? Do I need to change the Orings in that since it is 6 years old? So I can cut out the Jandy, ozonator, venturi and just connect to bottom return? Sorry...
