So I could get water into the system through the spigot, close all the intake valves, and plug all the returns, that would test the entire system (minus the intakes) ???

Yes I want to try with water. Need to build the rig (will post another thread to ask about which parts), but first I want to figure out how to plug it

Pool is leaking and I cannot find out where, my plan was to plug all the returns with pool plugs and start pressure testing one by one. And planned to build something similar to this in my local hardware store: Am I over thiking this?

Hello, the most accessible area to do a pressure test in my pool are the jandy valves. I was going to try a 1.5 plug but realized that jandy valves are not round, is there an easy way to do this?

Looks like I could get most of this, except the plug at a local Home Depot/Lowes right? What do you use to plug the water hose?

So, I don't touch the returns at all? There nothing to remove to insert the plug? that's the part I'm missing

Well a quick youtube video showed me I can pressure test without cutting pipes, I was thinking of pressure test when they first built this pool to pass the plumbing inspection. Ok follow up question, where can I get a decent pressure test kit :)

To pressurize id need to do some plumbing work and don’t want to be cutting PVC (at least not yet) I want to plug the returns and see if I lose water at the same rate or less. My pump will be off obviously

Hello, Two questions. I suspect my spa return fittings have a leak, I have these australian style fitting, how can I plug them so that I can prove my theory? Not sure if I need to remove them first, if so how? What are these white spots showing up all around my spa and pool? I can use a...

I'm going to try to hook it up and see how much time i get out of that tank. Right now I have a first stage, and second stage regulator because I'm connected to the the 500gal tank. If I were to switch to the 100lb, do I still need those regulators?

Our pool is 10,000 gallons, we're looking to mostly heat up our Spa which is likely 800g at most. Heater is JXI400P

Hello, So I had a Jandy tech come out and after multiple test, they realize my old 1995 500gal propane tank is shut. I have to replace it. I don't run anything else on that tank other than this pool heater. Would it be possible to run this pool heater on one (or two) 120lb tank? We're in South...
