I have one in my Amazon cart. I'm just waiting on a local store to see if they can get the bigger kit in. Someone on this site mentioned them. I was relying my pool guy but he made a mess of a bunch of stuff beyond this issue, so I've only been looking into this the last couple weeks (since I...

I'll have to take a sample in. I was getting the water tested weekly and never had an issue according to the store I took the samples to. It was forming just a couple days after being filled with water. I'm assuming calcium buildup would take a lot longer to form

That is what I had thought. When I asked the pool guy he said it was calcium? Deposits. They showed up almost immediately after the pool was filled with water

It is right where the level changes. I now have a robot vacuum but it appeared before I had it. The pool guy that I have since fired told me it was calcium buildup (I think) from not sweeping enough after adding the initial salt (which he never told me to do). Told me to dump a bunch of muriatic...

My pool was installed late last year and it was only open for a few weeks before being closed. Only a couple days after it was filled up a very faint line started to appear. The guy who installed and treated the pool said he would take care of it before closing for the winter, but never did I...

I met with him and the other guy today Total rework of the plumbing Going to upsize the chlorine generator Going to try to get a pump with SVRS or install something else to fix the single drain issue Options: 1) VS pump - have a Jandy 3 way valve after the CV580 filter to bypass the heater to...

It is a single drain, it just looks like those.

I'm pretty sure it's one of these https://www.amazon.com/Hayward-WG1030AVPAK2-White-Suction-Drain/dp/B006H3ZFFY?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_4

At this point the pool contractor has contacted an installer from another company to come up with two options, one with a VS pump and one with two smaller pumps with two suction lines serving the waterfall Both cases the T-Cell is being up sized and all the above ground plumbing is being redone...

There is 1 MD lid. So the skimmer and the main drain would be diverted to the waterfall while it is being used but would it still be connected to the main pump when the waterfalls are not being used? Or do you mean permanently? Regarding a VS, with these sheers they state a recommended is 144...

it is a Hayward turbo-cell T-Cell-LS-CUL meant for pools up to 30,000 gallons

Sorry a little over my head. What is VGBA compliance? All suction lines are 1.5" (2 skimmer, 1 main drain). Line to pump is 1.5". Line from pump > filter > heat pump is all 2". It is 2" until it splits into two 1.5" , one for waterfall (three 1.5" line) and one for return jets (4 total but...

This is also my concern and why I would have thought I would need 2 minimum to be switched during usage. Manual recommends 1GPM / 1" of water fall, so 144GPM The minimum is 0.5GPM / 1" of waterfall, so 72 GPM minimum

Yes, I would need two. Just trying to figure out if I am better off going this route and having a separate pump that I can have a skimmer and the main drain switched to when using the waterfall and just bypass the sand filter and heat pump or do what you initially said and just grab a 3hp...
