I needed my top load filter replaced on my spa because the top threading broke off. I hired Morgan Spa since I wanted it done correctly. I paid $50.00 more for the part then I could have bought it online, plus $155.00 service call for an hours worth of labor. I watched the guy install it and...

Ok so the bad news I did have an underground suction leak, the good news it is fixed. The leak was the elbow coming out of the bottom of the skimmer. Thanks to a tip on here to use a ram bit we were able to drill the broken pvc out without having to replace the skimmer. To get to the leak we...

I am installing a new intelliflo pump - I have three wires, one red, one black, one green. I know the green is the ground. The wiring instructions state the L1 connection on the motor is a hot lead and L2 connection is a hot lead, but doesn't specify which color is connected to L1 or L2. It...

Can a worn impeller and diffuser (30 years old on Pentair Challenger pump) give the same symptoms of an air leak in the suction line? The impeller is not clogged or obviously broken, but living in the desert it has seen a lot of sand through it. Without vacuum attached it pulls water ok, but...

I can't figure out what is going on - when I attached my suction line vacuum (zodiac mx-8) properly air enters system. This particular vacuum comes with a gauge to test vacuum pressure. I decided to use the gauge so first had to insert a 4 inch tube apparatus into the skimmer hole (all...
