    Pentair Filter Pump shutting off

    Thanks. I replaced the volute on the booster pump and it’s working properly with no more leaks. The filter pump is ~6 years old and the impeller is not obstructed. I’m not sure how long these pumps stay in service. I know it varies based on care, but before I replace it I wasn’t sure if there’s...

    Pentair Filter Pump shutting off

    Waited 20 minutes and started it back up. Caught a prime immediately but with air bubbles in returns. Shut off after 4-5 mins.

    Pentair Filter Pump shutting off

    The volute on my Polaris pump cracked the other day. Happened to be home when I saw the water spraying everywhere. Replaced and started up my 2.0 HP filter pump. Was having a little issue with getting a solid prime but it’s normally got a few bubbles blowing through my returns. After about 10-15...

    Waterfall pump not waterfalling

    Sorry, I've been out of pocket. I'll take some picture this evening and then upload. The pump continues to run. There's just a trickle of water that comes out of the feature (about the amount I primed it with) and then it stops. I've tried dumping water into the reservoir as it runs and it...

    Waterfall pump not waterfalling

    Hi- I have a secondary pump for a waterfall feature in my pool. Following a deep freeze this winter (in Dallas) the feature hasn't been working correctly. I've primed it and when I turn it on a little bit of water will start to flow down the rocks, and then it stops. Everything else in the pool...

    Starting to get anxious

    My tests last night, after adding bleach an hour earlier, were FC-8.5 Tested this morning and I got varying results. I think I'm not doing a good enough job getting the water out from when I clean the test tube out or something. My first test was FC-7.5, 2nd was FC-6.0, switched tubes and 3rd...

    Starting to get anxious

    That's great info, thank you so much. I've been adding enough to get to target...will shoot for the over from now on. I lost 2ppm today between 8a and 7p. Will keep tracking that. Hopefully mybovernight loss loss test come back ok. I did swim Monday night so that may account for some of the...
