Super helpful! I appreciate that. Once I get home I will install that vacuum gauge into the correct port. Total rookie, newb move there. Whoops! So hypothetically if I get the optimal flow for adequate cleaning is there an advantage to programming different stages/speeds? I have 4...

Thank you guys!

Wow....great info! I will double check my Vacuum gauge location when I get home. mas985, yes that pic is on the sidemount multiport valve to the sand filter. It sounds like I don't need to worry about turn over but I am left to wonder what "adequately filter and skim your water" is? It...

I can take a pic of the whole pump when I get home. :)

Thank you James! This is a Dohenys 3hp VS pump. I figured I would give it a try as it was $650. It seems to be running awesome and I really like it so far. Maybe if it craps out in 2 years I will wish I went with Hayward or Pentair but so far so good!

Wow! Thank you all for the replies! I knew I was doing something wrong. I am hoping to get what flow rates I have at what RPM the pump is running so I can program it for optimal efficiency turning the pool over. I finally upgraded to a VS pump as my electric bill is insane. If I can get...

Hey guys, I am again left scratching my head. Not uncommon. I am trying to generate a TDH in feet based off the readings from my pressure and vacuum gauges. But the number I am getting is no where near the performance curve (to figure out my flow rate) so I must have done something wrong. I...

Handle replaced! Thank you guys!

Thank you James. Just take the cap and screw off the top?

Thank you! That is an easy fix! I didn't know the traditional ball valves were not a great idea. I like installing stuff that will last awhile.

Oh interesting! Thank you. I didn't realize it was just a simple ball valve with no handle. Well that shouldn't be hard to replace. I have several in the system but they all have the handles to turn.

Pardon my ignorance. I am going to be replacing my multiport valve as it is leaking. I see this in one of the lines coming from it. I will have to replace it as well and I am not sure what it is. Thank you for all the help you guys always give!!! My guess is a pressure relief? I am not...
