    Overflow plumbing

    I don't have anything above normal water level, but I'm fairly certain that round port I have pictured is connected to the pipe in the yard. I have no jets on that side of the pool or anything over that way

    Overflow plumbing

    My guys at work have told me many in this area go to a rock and sand pit in the yard. This sounds terrible to me and hard to believe that it works when we get rain everyday during the summer months. (I am in southwest Florida near Fort Myers.)

    Overflow plumbing

    Good evening all. I have a concern about my pools overflow setup. This is a new construction home we have been here since December 2022. We had our first hard rain this past Sunday and Monday. Monday evening I got home from work and my pool was about 1" from overflowing itself. I wanted to know...

    DIY automation

    Thank you sir! The only thing that's a hiccup, and it has been before I made this, is the SVRS kicking in when the solar kicks on. I guess it senses the sudden wattage change and thinks there's something stuck somewhere. I have the auto restart time set to the minimum of 30 seconds so I guess...

    DIY automation

    I figured you sharp guys and gals would enjoy this, and I know some will turn their nose up, but it's all good. So I have a 3hp IntelliFlo and also solar heating on my roof controlled by a Hayward solar automation controller with actuator valve. Previously I had the pump on two time schedules...

    Rebuilding pump, missing seal

    Good evening all! I've come to pick some brains. So I have recently upgraded the pump that was installed by the pool contractor at our new home. It was a 1.5hp no-name VS pump with 1.5" ports. It didn't push enough volume to get up to the roof top solar and keep everything flowing so I purchased...

    Solar just installed, flow issues?

    Good morning everyone. I have an in ground pool approx 12x26. This is a new construction home built 6 months ago. The pump and filter are no-name from everyone who has seen them (pump is a VS 1.5hp from XtremePower and filter is a 200 cartridge filter from ???) All 2" pipe. I have a pentair 320...
