    SD80 Filter Cracked

    I'll see if I can get some. They're not very big but are big enough to create a spray when the pump is running. It may be easier to get a pic of the spray than the actual holes. They are in the seam of the outer shell of the filter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SD80 Filter Cracked

    Our pool is roughly 4 years old, I believe this will be the fifth season (second owners). Being in middle Georgia,meet don't close our pool for the winter, we just add liquid chlorine as needed when the water gets too cold for the SWG. Noticed during the winter that our Sand Dollar SD80 filter...

    Cleaner booster not working in auto mode

    Thank you, Jimrahbe. Delay was it! Unsure how/when that started, but when I manually cancelled the delay, the booster kicked on. And yes, main pump running. I should have clarified that in the OP. Thanks for your help! 28,000gal IG vinyl, Pentair IC40 SWG, PentairSand Dollar 40 filter...

    Cleaner booster not working in auto mode

    We have a Kreepy Krauly Legend pressure side cleaner run by a booster pump. The booster is wired to Aux1 on our Pentair EasyTouch 8 panel. Last week, something caused the wheels to wind up out of alignment and freeze, a problem my husband solved by taking the cleaner apart, realigning and then...

    Do I have mustard algae

    Do you have any tall grass nearby? I've noticed the same white floating material in my pool and have deducted that it is coming from the super tall wheat-like grass in the field between us and the neighbors. I can get it filtered out and when the wind blows from that direction, it returns...

    Balancing help

    I just wanted to tell everyone THANK YOU! We moved in in November and I have learned so much from this site. I've managed to keep my pool crystal clear and my chemistry within the recommended values for a SWG. Also, thanks to this forum, I took my salt cell off and cleaned it (moderate amount...

    Skimmer net

    I bought the fly-swagger style at WalMart to replace the one I have that's starting to tear. I'm hoping it will last a season. I'm able to get 90% of stuff while it's still floating, so a leaf rake isn't a necessity for me. I've also been able to use the brush to stir up the few leaves that do...

    Rust question

    Thank you! Those are the only two rust spots. One is on the fiberglass steps leading into the pool, just below the coping. The other, as you saw, is on the ladder. If I can ever figure out how to take the ladder out, I was thinking of using a wire brush to remove the rust and then a quick touch...

    Rust question

    I've looked through the various threads and see how to use vitamin C to remove small rust areas (I have one on my ladder and one on the fiberglass steps, likely from the water being out of balance due to the previous owner not having a clue how to manage a pool.). My question is this: given that...

    Pentair Multiport Problems

    I had the situation arise today where the piece that the handle and pin attach to broke. On the diagram above, it looks like #22? I'm a Newby, so please forgive my ignorance, but this is part of the top assembly, right? Given the lack of care our pool was given by its previous owners, I'm...
