    How to reduce noise from deck jets?

    Related - I've got 8 deck jets -on two zones - each jet with their own ball valve so I can calibrate the arches with one another. I installed everything myself so of course it's totally over-engineered. Well - the first season they were great. Water came out in a very clean tight arch. Very...

    Yeah - the cost is a little crazy. Unfortunately I'm a little obsessed with stuff like this. My guess is that 95% of the time my system is running at a speed/gpm that is well below the limits of 1.5" anyway so prob not a issue. As a part of this upgrade I bought a FlowVis flow meter. I'm...

    Thanks! I just ordered the set. Not cheap - but nothing related to pools seems to be. btw- added my profile and signature. Hopefully it shows up now.

    Yeah- I actually bought pnc unions so I could do just that. Would prefer unions on the filter itself. So my question is - where can I source these things (assuming they exist). Is there a preferred and well stocked place to contact? Thanks again for the help. I'll take a picture of my...

    Thanks. Seems the mobile version limits my ability to add signature info. Will add when I get to a desktop. I'm in Ohio and have a18-20k gallon inground. The filter is a pentair sand dollar sd80.

    Thanks. That's what I'm thinking- some sort of propriatary fitting. The threads spacing and depth seems different than std PVC. I've checked the install manual and other online resources and can't find any reference. Seems strange.

    Hi all. I'm in the process of replumbing my equipment pad. Original setup was all 1.5". I've added some water features and figured it was a good time to ensure the best flow possible. So my pool builder installed a sd80 - with the 1.5" multiport valve (wish I'd know more at the time to request...

    New Guy - new pool going in

    Thanks! Makes sense - so I'll have lines setup for solar - but will plumb then in series with main filter setup. What about setting up for a water feature(s). Would I be future proofing if I had another set of floor drains installed. And I assume the larger the better - so I can create...

    New Guy - new pool going in

    Thanks for the reply. I'm in the upper midwest- so it does sound like Poly is a good choice. so a couple more Q's while I'm at it (and since you offered) :-D Do to placement of the pool on my lot (I'm hugging setbacks) - my skimmers will be on the west side of the pool. I know this is...

    New Guy - new pool going in

    Hey all. We are having a new pool put in. They are almost done with excavation and should start with the forms tomorrow or Friday. I'm expecting that plumbing will begin on Monday. My pool is a free form pool - that will be mostly kidney shaped. It will range from 3.5' to 5.5' and will be...
