They are clamped together with two long rods from the manifold to bottom plate. I think my question wasn’t clear after I re read my post. Once you put the grid assembly in does it sit on the bottom of the housing? The manifold goes on a big pipe and once attached to it does the rest of the...

Helping in laws with their new house that has a de filter. It’s a nautilus fns 36. We ordered a complete grid assembly from amazon. The kicker is the grids inside were 24” making it 48sq ft. Are the grids suppose to sit on bottom? The 36 ones we bought are sitting off the bottom due to the...

Mine had a garden hose hookup that would not drain nearly fast enough. It started leaking so replaced it with a T and a 1.5” 3/4 valve. This thing pumps water quick now You want to put it before the filter nonsense in dumping filtered water to waste

My in laws just bought a house with a de filter. I have always had cartridge so had to get up to speed with de filters. They have a Pentair nautilus fns36. The grids inside measure 24” which makes think the previous owner put grids for a 48sqft filter in there. They ordered a complete assembly...

So we have a pool with a rolled beam at the top. This has caused the pebble at the waterline to crack in several places. Anyone in Phoenix have any recommendations on someone who can chip out old pebble, put new waterline tile and remove the rolled beam. So far I have received two bids and...

I was swimming yesterday and noticed that at the bottoms of our rock waterfall there was a little algae. Now this part of the rock is out of water but water movement makes it touch. Water looks perfect will do an overnight test tonight to see but these were my numbers around 5pm FC 5.5 Ta 80...

Something could be consuming your chlorine aka algae. Have you tried doing an overnight test to see how much you lose? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Water softener has not been installed yet but the guy who installed it for me last time grabbed the main line before it entered the house. From here he ran a 1" copper pipe on opposite side of wall to softener then back out out to where it went back into the house. I believe he would route it...

No but I will trade you you millipedes for the bees I had last two years (search bees invaded my pool ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So my wife wants to have out water softener hooked back up ( brought it over from out last house). My question is what kind of effect will this have on my pool? The softener can use potassium or salt but we always used potassium. At the old house we did not have an auto fill so I would shut...

If they can't replace the defective part I would ask for an entire new unit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another thing to look for is a fitting extender. Goes over coupling or valve side like yours. I had a very similar situation but I ended up doing something more drastic. I got a torch heated the coupling the used some needle nose to roll and peel off the coupling. Then sanded it a bit with Emory...

Like jbizzle said return them. They are nothing but snake oil. Use that money for bleach/chlorine or a test kit. Besides I have threads where some people have had adverse reactions with those chemicals due to some other stuff in the water they had no idea was in there ie metals Sent from my...

Dumb question but did you make sure your diverted valve (if you have on) was set to skimmer all the way? Reason I ask is a co worker had the same problem, called a plumber and he opened the skimmer side fully and the used a drain king (same thing he had tried but with skimmer part way closed)...
