The spa is part of the pool, so no, it is not above the pool. So I should ditch back flow valve. What is hanging me up is finding the right backflow valve that attaches to the filter.

I tried switching out a new motor awhile back, and the motor ran slower than it should have. So without the correct time, it was junked. I gave up on it.

here are pics of what I am doing......... I'm re-laying out my plumbing to replace major worn out parts......... Here is a post a few months ago............ Did I mention that I grew up in Mass, Holyoke? Worked in Middletown for a short bit.

San Diego 40's at night and 70 todays high. I'll trust you on your experience and get a replacement valve. I do not want to have to go back and redo it again. The one I have looks makeshift, but I may be wrong. You think Amazon has the valve? I'll take an accurate measurement on the inlet and...

Ok, now it's getting confusing. I don't see how a backwash valve affects the back flow of DE back into the pump and pool. It's a valve to flush water out of the filter. When not engaged, isn't it just plumbing bringing water into the filter and out of the filter? Also if you look at the pic...

I'm installing a new heater and a new pump/motor (vs). I've got everything I need but couplings going in and out of the filter. It seems like the couplings are 2" but the threads are larger than the heaters fittings. I have a standard Raypac and the couplings are smaller than the couplings on...

I tried to pay with PayPal and it did not work.

Just lost all my typing. Darn. Is this a robot that you would run every day or possibly twice a week? Reviews say that the filter inside the e10 is too coarse and spits out a lot of small stuff.

Ok, I looked up the v-flex, and only see an upgrade kit. This would be for the Navigator, not the 2 wheeled version. So I am assuming that I'm better off getting a navigator as opposed to the 2 wheel design. If I can get the standard navigator with the 75 dollar rebate, maybe get that one and...

I have to replace my Hayward Pool Vac after 15 years of use. It is the standard white one that cost 300 bucks 15 years ago. It is attached to the basket at the skimmer and runs on vacuum. I'm putting in a new VS Pentair pump and a new spa heater Raypak ng dig heater (400 power) this winter...

Holy carp! No comments. Is it pay to play? Or is it that it looks like I know what I'm doing and do not need help.

When the pump is on the spa gets the water from the pump and the spa has a dam which water flows into the pool. And the pool and spa when idle are at the same level. So no, to the raised spa. I don't think you can argue that a straighter line going into the pump would make the pump more...

"I am not a fan of your layout however.. More of a personal thing than function.. I would want someone looking at my work to think that I did on purpose rather than by accident.. " Please explain. I don't like things to look like an accident either. Are you referring to the angle of the pump...

I'm putting in a Intelliflo and a new Raypak heater this fall and am laying out the piping etc so I will have all the parts I need to do the job in a day, hopefully. With the intelliflo variable, I need to put it at an angle so as to get a straight pipe into the inlet as opposed to an elbow...

I had a problem with my vac hose coming off, usually when the pump was off and people splashing in the pool. The fit of the two pieces was sloppy, and all I did was wrap a few layers of duct tape on the male part and then pushed the female part on and it was enuf friction to stay on. This was...

I'd like to keep the pump if I can set it up so anyone can turn the pump on full or high so as to turn on the spa. So can the pump be turned on full or high when I need to use the spa? And only one or two buttons? Previously it was as easy to just turn on the pump at the timer box. Also, I...

Thanks for responding so quickly everyone, just as I thought. Now I got to send the pump back. The 4 screws that hold the controller on are special screws, anti tampering. When I saw that I figured I was in trouble. How lame a design.My installation puts the controller in back and the...

I finally found something that YouTube does not cover. Shocking. How to mount the keypad of a Pentair Intelliflo pump on a wall. They have a kit that varies in price from 35-75 bucks. And they show the cable being something other than what came with my pump. I've got a feeling that Amazon may...

" •Low NOx Model used in Southern California - LA, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, & San Bernardino Counties only." Doesn't say anything about San Diego County on that list. Though it maybe should. we do not use the heater much, maybe 20 times a year at most.

You are correct, I do not want a millivolt system. I did not know what the system was until I read the link above. I already have power to the unit also. As far as warrantee loss if I install, I will have to take my chances, along with my warrantee loss of the intellipump I plan on getting...

I'm looking for a new heater. I am sticking to Raypak and not sure where to get it. There are so many models, it gets a little wacky. So far I know this much: 406,000btu NG Digital for outdoor use (no chimney vent) used for spa that is attached to pool, so water goes through it any time the...

Can anyone tell me why I have a back flow valve between the filter and the heater? The equipment is ground level with the pool.

My backflush valve leaks now and was thinking of trying to fix it our cut it out and not have one, as I do not back flush anymore. This is with a de filter. Also I really hate cleaning the de filter (8 blades) as it is a bioch to clean and put back together without the seal at the split...

OK here is the update. After checking out connections etc, I decided to do the UNTHINKABLE and get the lighter out to see if I could get the pilot/gas going. As I could smell a faint odor of gas, told me that the pilot was putting out gas. So after letting the unit rest and let the gas blow...

I have a RayPak water heater that is about 12-14 years old and does not ignite. I took off the covers and assessed that it may not be worth the effort to fix. It is the largest of the 4 RayPaks that are sold in the 2100 series, 400k btu. They make a 206, 266, 336, 399k btu unit for natural...

Another update: I am now getting a code error of PRS which I believe is the water pressure (waterflow) ...........the display goes back and forth with SPK (no error or service warning) to PRS (service flashes). I just did not leave it on or did not notice ther error code before. The error...

I'm going to revise the age to about 12 years old. I think it was new when we moved in. We only use the heater on occasion about 6-8 times a year, and not heat the pool but just the spa. SPK means spark and it's not a error but a status code of sorts. Can anyone tell me the process of how the...
