Ok, thanks...I will give that a try today!

So after a lot of work (and a lot of help from this forum) we got our inground pool working smoothly this past Spring and it has been working very well up until a few days ago. The variable speed pump works with an iAqualink controller and turns on at 8:00am and turns off at 10:00pm. We are in...

Thanks, I will give that a try! The unit was installed last September.

Just a follow-up question...I obtained a test kit and tested the salinity of the pool and it came back as around 3700ppm so I recalibrated the SWG (thanks JamesW for those instructions!) to same and it started running again. Next day I came out and checked on the SWG and the service light was...

Thanks to all for the replies...makes sense. Before I start draining more water I will try to scare up a salinity test kit to see what the actual numbers are and will recalibrate if necessary. It just had me puzzled that the salinity would start going back up again...but the water stratification...

Our Jandy AquaPure PLC1400 was flashing the service light yesterday with a 145 code, which means salinity was too high. I checked salinity via the unit and it read at 4.5gpl...should be below 4.0gpl and operating range is 3.0 to 3.6gpl. I drained off 2" of pool water and added fresh water and...

Thanks for all of the responses! Attached are some pics of the filter, etc. I will get a spider gasket ordered ASAP. Mark, thanks for the confirmation on the blockage, and I will try back flushing the line as you suggested. I assume I need to dive in remove the MD drain cover screens first...

Ok, so I replaced the o-rings (one large and two small o-rings for each unit) in the 3 Pentair valves on the intake side. Was hopeful since the existing o-rings looked in bad shape. However, once I started the system back up I found that the pump is still losing prime when it is off overnight...

Yep, but I recently cleaned and lubed the Jandy check valve and I think it is operating as intended. Also, if it were the check valve or the spa automation valve then I would think that the morning startup would be the same whether I'm running MD-only or MD+Skimmer. But it is not. MD-only primes...

Thanks. Not sure if it is a 3-way or not...and pretty sure it is a Pentair not a Jandy...I know it is connected to the Aqualink system...it is currently set to turn off the spa main drain. If I turn on Spa mode (which I have not done since the pool replaster) that valve will automatically rotate...
