Thanks! I’ll play around with changing the positions. It’d be nice to be able to keep the hot water in while still being able to circulate water to the pool sometimes.

Is there a way to have 3 programed positions on the spa valve? When the spa is turned on, the spa valve automatically opens and pump outflow goes only into the spa. When the spa is turned off, the valve closes half way and allows cold water to replace the hot water in the spa. I would like...

Thanks. That’s going to be a tough one to get to. Not sure it can be cut without removing the deck and framing along with the equipment on top. It’s not under pressure and can be stopped when I apply pressure with my finger. Do you think plumbers putty jammed in the hole wrapped with rubber...

Thanks for the info. I think I may have found a culprit. I went to the equipment deck and heard water I removed a few deck boards and saw water springing from a conduit pipe. It must have been nicked. Any ideas on why water is running through the conduit? I believe it may be wiring to the...

It does overflow and it seems we have gotten a fair amount of rain. It feels like an abnormal loss and I’m worried something else may be going on like a leak.

Since owning our pool, I have to add about 60 lbs of calcium increaser every spring when opening. This is the first spring opening with salt water and Ive had to add over 600 lbs of salt. Is it normal to lose this much salt and calciu?

Thanks HermanTX! I really appreciate that. Your suggestions were great. I raised the filter and put a bypass on the heater. Everything seems to flow better now.

Thanks everyone for the help! Just got everything hooked back up and no leaks so far! Other than my booster pump making a buzzing noise and not turning on, everything else seems to work. Now to get a salt test to see how much salt I need to add.

Looking at it, I’ll get a new valve and orient it at the pump so it has a straight run to the filter. I’ll put another valve with a check valve to bypass the heater.

Thanks. Gathering all the parts now. The concrete pad is too small. Once I move the heater back to make room for the SWG, it’ll be sitting in the dirt. Also, water runs over the area during a heavy rain. I think raising everything will help protect the equipment.

Good question. I’m not sure why there’s a valve there. I’ve never had to operate it.
