I realize this thread in approaching two years old...but if you are still around, would you let us know the outcome of this? Thanks

Hi, I replaced my sand filter with a cartridge filter at the beginning of this season and had to battle noise. The noise is basically the base acting as an amplifier of the motor vibration. Both were combo units with base - actually, I am pretty sure the bases are identical but never had a...

I started getting a slight "chatter" sound at startup towards the end of last season. The sound went away after a few seconds. It has been online this season for about 3 weeks and is now lasting 10-15 seconds. The colder it is the longer it lasts. Now it has developed a single drip below the...

No, it is solid - seems to be made out of same material as the tank. Yes! It is tape I just went to look at again after coffee and with my good glasses on and the sun up :cool::coffee: Thanks - I can sleep tonight!

This was in the bag with the pressure gauge and air relief valve of a Pentair C & C filter. I don't see mention of it in the manual nor do I see it on the parts diagram. Thanks

To make it easier to insert and for older pipe less likely to split. A side effect is that it does mold somewhat as well. I have actually repressurized a poly pipe after removing the clamps out of curiosity and it held without leaking. That was breifly fooling around, no idea how long it...

I just heat the outside. A safer alternative for the inexperienced and a one time shot is to use boiling water either poured over the poly or put the end of the poly in the container holding the hot water.

I don't have a lot of pool experience, but I do have quite a bit of poly/barb fittings experience... I would suggest gently heating the poly prior to inserting the barb. I personally use a torch to do this, but you have to be careful not to melt it. I would also suggest using two clamps on...

I had a similar situation with my AGP - not sure if I would call the noise a "swoosh" though. It was the return causing a vortex in the pool and it would occasionally suck air and make a noise. Adjusting the eyeball would only move where the vortex was forming. I used two elbows to lower the...
