    Waterway Plastic POLY jet sleeve to wall gasket?

    Is a gasket needed at the face of the gunnite sleeve between it and poly jet sleeve? Basically does the gunnite to poly jet sleeve need to be airtight at the face or is it normal for air to leak around at the face and bubble up vs. all of the air being directed out of the jet nozzle?

    HELP Spa pump, air blower issue

    I found the issue. When the renovation guy changed the Jets, he also changed out the fittings that go back into the Gunite wall. The fittings he put back into the wall were too short and therefore the spa pump water was being diverted into the air jet orifices.

    Salt cell strainer always full of debris

    I think I may have found the CULPRITS. I just saw that where the endcap plugs go into the filters, the center is not sealing. The rubber in the middle is completely destroyed. The endplug just moves around like crazy. Is debris getting around the end plugs and then getting sent downstream and...

    Salt cell strainer always full of debris

    3000RPM initially then down to 2200 for its normal operation after prime. I will check the flow and let you know but I doubt its backwards.... The filters are probably a decade old, seriously! I DOUBT these people ever changed them and I think they have cracked due to old age. The air relief...

    Salt cell strainer always full of debris

    Ok filter is a Hayward C5520BHMB by Blue Haven Pools. Just got it apart and I see that the tops are cracked. I was TOLD by my pool guy that the filters were fine, but it appears maybe not? Could this be where the stuff is getting in at? I have this apart now and will go thru it all but perhaps...

    Salt cell strainer always full of debris

    Here is a picture of the strainer and my setup. After looking at the system, agree there should be nothing getting to this past the cartridge filter. I looked at the filters and while they are not new, they look ok. What else do I look at to figure out how this stuff is getting by the filters?

    Salt cell strainer always full of debris

    I don't know what to do. Literally I have to open up my union and clean out the salt cell filter every other day or I get a low flow light on my salt cell. The cell itself looks perfect, no build ups but even a small amount of debris causes my low flow to trigger and kicks off the generator. We...
