Don’t lol…..try remembering toggle switch positions for 30 accounts on spring startup….then technology is better so no more toggles. It’s the first move you make when the valves act squirrelly upon opening. 🤣

Sounds like you need to change the home position. When in auto mode press the red arrow and yellow arrow button simultaneously. The valve will rotate to the other endpoint and be the new home position. Factory default is 0. Doing the procedure will change it to 24. If custom endpoints...

Who is the manufacturer of your filter and push pull valve? If you’re comfortable doing so, you need to disassemble the valve and inspect it for issues.

If you can setup a line level between the water surface and the area your exposed pipes are in, you can measure down at one end to the water surface and note the measurement. At the other end measure down to your exposed pipe and note the measurement. The shorter measurement is the higher...

Any idea what the grade difference is between pool water level and your desired pipe depth? You may find you only need to drain a foot of water or so to reach the pipe depth you were originally looking for....

If the Jandy valve in the picture was closed in the middle, you were nearly deadheading your pump and pushing all return flow through your cleaner port. More pics would be helpful.

You cannot splice in the conduit itself and remain in compliance with NEC 300.13(A)…. “300.13 Mechanical and Electrical Continuity — Conductors (A) General Conductors in raceways shall be continuous between outlets, boxes, devices, and so forth. There shall be no splice or tap within a raceway...

Call Aquastar. They can help you cross reference your current grates for new VGBA compliant ones. Aquastar Once the manufacturer VGBA certification timeline is expired on your current grates, the only option is to install new grates that are compliant until their manufacturer certification...

Each market bears what it will bear for installation. Call several companies and get quotes. You may find many companies won’t install owner supplied parts. This may further limit your options. Depending on site conditions and how much is involved in installing the heater I could charge...

Yes correct Yes the line will leak water until the level of the pool water and the level of the line are equalized. You have 2 options: 1. Drain the pool lower than the level you are going to cut the main drain line (this can be done with submersible pump) 2. Follow your plan of not burying...

Defective. Glue didn’t cause that….perhaps the rabid mongrel shop dog in the shipping department thought it was his new chew toy. They’ve left you no other option other than to stop payment through your financial institution.

If pool supply 4 less won’t stand behind it, it’s chargeback time. No way that valve should have been sold to you.

Usually a $20 difference 🤣

Which check valve? I see the top entry port is in use. This is typically done when there are erosion/feeding issues and lack of ability to maintain chlorine via the bottom port. I assume this has been a problem before?
