Hi guys
Apologies for not posting for a while - it’s been a horrible no good fall health wise…
I have four fountain heads at the corners of my pool that are on a separate single stage pump and connect via a pentair 2 way valve to overflow and the fountains. The fountains split into 4 individual pipes (we have never changed the red valves since install). The jets are basic brass eyeball fixtures.
Normally the fountains run every day for a minute at 10am just to move the water in the pipes, and freeze protection is turned on.
I came down this morning to find the freeE protection had turned on and 3 jets working and 1 jet with no flow at all (not even a trickle). I don’t know if that’s a new thing or not since normally not looking outside at 10am.
It’s not the intake, pump, pump basket or multiport because the other three are working. The only thing i can think of is something plugging this specific line, despite the ability of the pump to generate quite a high volume stream when it puts its mind to it.
Any thoughts or suggestions as to how to go about to trouble shoot? everything seems glued after the pump so cutting is a last resort maybe…..
Pictures attached…
