wow I just realized the American part number #590006 is very close to my original post guess of #5900-0600

Yes! I went to the pool store, told him what filter I had, and the guy knew exactly what I needed. But both part numbers I thought it might be, that said on the website in stock, weren't showing in the stores computer system, but he said 'you're just looking for the manifold O-ring right?'...

Its still on the pipe, but I'd be worried it may be deformed/stretched to try and gauge by it's size to a new one. Even though I may start convulsing as I hand over the money, I may just drive down to the pool store. Both of the part numbers I think it could be show to be instock on their...

I'm wondering if anyone here might know if the mfg year of pentair fns plus de filter is a factor in getting the correct standpipe to manifold o-ring. Something I thought would take 15min to order is now going on 2 hours. -The expanded parts diagram in the downloadable fns owners manual on the...

Thanks, good to know it's a regular deal because I really have to much else to get done before I can install it, several months at my best guess.

wow, hayward no warranty vs circupool 7yrs (prorated-and haven't dug into the details on that yet) And now understanding what the 10,000 hr life standard means, I just went back on that discountsalt site and see that the RJ-30 ,RJ-45, & RJ-60plus all are rated at 15,000 hrs. I also just saw that...

Thank you. That number and info was the missing piece of the formula for me. I think I can now safely pick one out. The collective of knowledge held by the people on this site is so helpful. Thank you again!

Did some searching learning about REEs - I had no idea of all the products that use them creating more demand driving costs I take back thinking it was SWG mfgs greed. Seems like the mining companies may actually hold all the cards good to know the RJ-45 should work at least as low as around...

Hi, I've reviewed some previous posts here regarding selecting SWGs to help in my research, and before I go buy one and screw up because I missed some important detail about SWGs, I'd appreciate any input/advice on what I'm thinking about buying. Assuming- 15k gal plaster pool, VS pump...

Same here, just really posted/asked out of curiosity. Many of the documents I searched on the US nist.gov standards and measures site regarding themometers mention the reference mark, but none seem provide a standard reference temp, other than saying its 'often the freeze point', which def not...

I just purchased 2 inexpensive alcohol filled LIG(liquid-in-glass) thermometers for the pool. Sitting side by side 1 is consistently reading 3deg higher than the other and then I noticed both have a black horizontal line marked on the glass, one lining up about 70Fdeg(~21C) and one lining up...

Very ugly indeed. Thanks Allen. I will try the 'shock' brushing in a test area on one of the darker stained spots. Using caution to avoid further damage as you suggest. If I gain any ground I'll take a pic. This debacle is another lesson learned the hard way.

thanks, I forgot PH invalid at high FC. Here are some pics. When I mentioned feeling the brush rise up as if going over a raised area that only happened at a couple places. Mostly it feels flat as I brush.
