Hey Rocket, I have Praher valves on my whole system. Installed that way at build time. If my valve handle is in-line with the pipe, the valve is closed. I'm sure of this. I've replace a few of them. You certainly sound like you know what you're talking about, so no argument there. The...

Without being there it 's hard to say what pulls from and what goes where. I will tell you that when a valve handle is perpendicular to a pipe that it's in stalled in (like a cross), the valve is open. The handle part can be on either side. When the handle is in-line with the pipe, the valve...

Hello All, Water pools around my pump and filter whenever the pump runs. When it's dry and the pump starts, I can see the water ooze from approximately beneath where the pump and motor join. What kind of seal is there between the pump and motor? I tightened the bolts that join the motor to...

Free chlorine is about 1.2, which is low. But it shouldn't be low since I have my dial turned up to 40%. I normally don't ever have to keep it up that high.

Hey Gang, I've got a new cell (8 months) and my pool's getting green. I have successfully replaced (with advice from this forum) the resistor on my board twice. Now my problem is that the "Generating" light is on, but the power light is not. Sounds like a burned out LED on the power light...

Worked like a charm. Power and Generating lights are both on and the numbers are normal! Once again, I appreciate all the help James!

No kidding. That's good stuff James! I'm going to post that to the inside of the lid to my controller. I really appreciate the help. I'll let you know how my fix goes when I pop the board back in tonight.

So I checked my numbers. They're right. Today (before I pulled the board) the second number was 31. Converting to F that comes to about 88. That is close to right. Normally the pool is warmer this time of year, but we've had some rain the last couple of days. So you're (JamesW) probably...

Appreciate the insight! My hunch is also the inrush limiter. That's a 30 minute fix, and luckily when I bought the last one I bought 3. But I'm still stumped by the display numbers. I'm sure I didn't miss temp. I've scrolled through those numbers dozens of times. Possible that I have a...

Hey folks, I hate to be a poor-weather friend :(, but here I am with a problem. I have a Hayward AquaRite Goldline t-15. Had it for about 6 years. Along about year 1.5, I had to replace the inrush limiter (as I learned to do on this site) and that solved my problem. I don't remember now what...

So you’re saying that there’s no “right” way. Functionally, both will work?

Hello All! I’m in the mid stages of building an outdoor kitchen. Yesterday I made the cutout for the grill, and now my wife and I are in a debate. So the grill has a SST hanger flange that goes around the sides and back. The grill is suspended on this flange. The question is: Does the...

Think I found it. Praher doesn't show it on their site, but I found another site that has a 2"/2.5" Praher unionized valve. Going to wait until they open to call and confirm. Tons of thanks Bama!

Oh, that is SOOOOO close!! Pinch a Penny had this one, but I'm trying to stick with the 2"/2.5". My whole system uses 2" pipe, and I want to avoid creating a bottle neck going into the pump by having to adapt down to 1.5".

Good Morning Folks, Thanks so much for all of your input helping me identify the Hayward Super II that I posted on here yesterday. Decided to go with another of the same. Now I need help identifying a valve. I need to replace one and unless I can find one like it (with coupling), I'll need...
