Jim, Wanted to let you know that cleaning the filters fixed my issue. I appreciate all of your advice and hope you are having a great New Year. Thanks, Derek

OK, I will clean my filter to give this a try first. If this does not work I will run my system with the check valve guts removed, as you suggested, to further diagnose the problem. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. Thanks, Derek

OK, I may not be explaining it correctly. I only removed the whole assembly to check the flapper by hand once it stopped working. It was never removed before that and the flapper was working so I know the guts are not in backwards. You did give me an idea though. I will take the guts out and put...

It is the newer style where you can see inside and you can replace/ remove parts. I replaced the whole valve assembly last summer when my spa was draining back into my pool. When the pump is on it stays closed when in the past I could see the flapper open. I took it apart last weekend and the...

My check valve connected to the plumbing for my Spa seems to be stuck in the closed position. This has been going on for about a week and I can't seem to find a solution and any advice would be appreciated. My spa is connected to my pool with an overflow waterfall. What would normally happen is...

I was able to check the spa / pool valve last night and you guys were correct. I was able to get it to pull and return to spa only. I am still dealing with my spa draining to pool level once my pump stops when it is set to share pool and spa but I am fairly sure I just need to replace my check...

OK everyone I really appreciate your help and it sounds to me like you guys are spot on. I will give this a shot when I arrive home and check in with results. Thanks, Derek

OK, I do have 2 Skimmers and 2 visible floor drains in my pool area, also have a Polaris port if that matters. I am fairly certain the valve labeled Skimmer did shut them both off though. So it's possible that controls those two skimmers and the other two are my floor drains. If I am...

Here is a photo of my equipment. Pretty sure I got the pool and spa intakes labeled correctly but since both still get over flow I really have no idea. Appreciate your help. https://www.flickr.com/photos/149665469@N03/shares/SvFNLC Thanks, Derek

I recently purchased a home and unfortunately none of the plumbing was labeled. I have been able to figure out most things through trial and error but I am stuck on one last issue. My pool has 4 inlet valves. One is the main, then skimmer, pool floor and spa floor. I then have my outlets into...

Update, I was able to raise my CYA up to 50 after passing the OCLT Tuesday night. I am still steadily losing 3 to 4 ppm of FC during the day but I can't complain since my pool is in direct Texas sun all day long. I wanted to thank everyone for walking me through this process. Everyone that sees...

Sounds good. I appreciate your verification on all of that.

Update....I was able to continue SLAM this weekend. Overall the pool looks great and even my neighbors said its the best they have ever seen it look. I do seem to be losing about 4 ppm though out the course of a day though. I am assuming this is because I get pounded by Texas heat all day and my...

It's $2.50 in my area but can't find it in stock.

Will do.....especially the cold one.
