Hey all, I'm looking to upgrade to a VS pump. Setup in my signature. Current pump is this ancient Century USQ1102, single speed 1hp, hooked up to 240v. Plumbing is 2 inches but my cartridge filter is only 90sf. I don't want to upgrade that if possible, but y'all let me know if a bigger filter is...

Hello TFP - I have a bad leak in the part circled below. Would anyone be able to ID what it is? and what needs to be done to stop the leak? It looks like some sort of an air release and water is overflowing through it. Thanks

Hello guys I'm back again. Water became completely clear last week so I thought I was done with SLAM. There was no overnight FC loss so I let the FC drop to 5 this past Monday. However there's some fine dust on the bottom that swooshes away when I brush. I've been running the pump two days...

Hello TFP. You guys have been a tremendous help. I'm almost near the end of SLAM and water is clear. However my spa pump just broke, so here I am again :). A couple of days ago I cleaned the spa pump basket and put it back in, and all of a sudden the pump wouldn't turn on. It worked fine before...

I think so...

SLAM Day 2 Test result below. Again at 7:30PM, FC was at 12 so I didn't add anymore chlorine. Does anyone know how to release pressure from the 2nd pump I have here for the spa? I need to open it and clean the basket but not sure how to release pressure. Thanks.
