Hello, Just curious what the down sides might be of buying a sand filter with 2 inch valves when my piping is 1.5 inch. I would just use a reducer. The pool store said there is no down side but I am nervous about buying a filter that is not meant for 1.5. For example won't the part of the...

Good to know. I'll grab a picture of it and try to read the model and HP tomorrow and post it

Hi I appreciate the suggestion. I think due to the high debris in my yard, I am avoiding cartridges. Any suggestion about the sand filters though?

Haha I would love to know why. I have a feeling I should put on my earmuffs when talking to pool stores.

I should also add that unfortunately my back yard is very very high debris due to a few awful trees along my fence on the neighbour's side. They basically dropped pedals, leaves, seeds every day all summer and then drop never ending small branches as well, all falling in the pool. I work from...

Thanks I re read this just now and I believe this is what started me down the bigger is better for sand filters path. I definitely have the pad space for it, and I noted this paragraph here that says, " Pool Filter Types Sand filters are the simplest. Most pools should use a minimum of a 24”...

Hello, I have been doing some reading here and it seems when it comes to sand filters, bigger is better, and results in less frequent backwashing. There doesn't seem to be any down size other than it requires more space and obviously costs more. I have seen 30 inch recommend or even bigger...

Haha ya it's cold. I'll take a look at the thread and google thr parastaltic pump, thanks

Thanks for the recommendations I am going to look at both of these. All my pumps and such are located in the unit itself. Are these things that can be added in a situation like that? Wonder if I can Hire a spa company to install it for me.

Thanks for the response. I should have mentioned I have an acrylic spa with the pumps and motor all held within the unit. Does that make a difference? Can I get a small salt water chlorine generator added to that ? Do you have any recommendations on which one ?

Hello, I hate manually adding chlorine to my hot tub. I live in Canada and it's -40 where I am, so only time I want to go outside is when I am actually going into my hot tub, but I don't want to have to go out every few days just to add chlorine. I have been using a float with tabs, but if I...

I did a self test on the easytouch wireless controller remote and when it gets to the switch test and makes me press all the buttons. It's fine until it asked me to hit spa, then it says failed error code 4. But ya like I said the top spa button does the lights or aux 2 now. And the second...

For sure I'll get a picture when it's light again tomorrow. Unfortunately though if I recall it's not labeled other than saying aux 1, 2 , 3 etc. First button is the F and is labeled as filter/pump. And then the rest of the top are aux 1 - 8. Then next row is the mode and

I pressed the reset button on out door panel. Is that enough or should I switch the power on and off. Taking the batteries out of the wireless remote did nothing. Is there a particular set of wire that controls the V button on the panel ? Maybe I could go mess with that ? We have had...

The stickers on it are for the new way the button works but it doesn't do everything it needs to so just ignore those.

Unfortunately I have no clue, probably one of my kids doing things with the remote. I figure there must be a way to train each of the buttons to do something. If so I'll just reprogram them. Hoping someone here knows. Thanks

Hello I am not sure how it happened but my pentair water indoor remote thing switched the buttons around. I used go be able to switch to spa mode and pool mode. I also used to be able to turn on my spa blower. Spa on used to be button 1 then bubbler/blower then lights. Now it's lights as number...
