Sorry for the delay getting back to this... It's coming from the top left portion of this picture... Amazon.com : Pentair LA01N Energy Efficient Single Speed Pressure-Side Pool Cleaner Booster Pump, 3/4 Horsepower, 115/230 Volt : Swimming Pool Water Pumps : Patio, Lawn Garden It's plumbed...

I have an issue with leaking coming from the top connection out of the booster pump. When just the pool is on, there is a small leak, but when you turn booster on the vacuum, it really pumps it out then. Wonder what method I should use to fix that... glue, putty, whatnot. Any recommendations? TYIA

Well, it appears the actuator for my spa control died last night. The switch on the back doesn't move it back and forth anymore. I did take the motor off the top of it and manually moved it so the spa would keep water at least. I will check to see if the connection came loose from either side...

We got these in North Fort Worth, TX also... Shortly after a rain. What I'm concerned about is my filter now. Looks like these guys are small enough to make it through the baskets. Think I'll need to clean out the big boy filter this weekend now.

I appreciate it Mark!

Howdy all... I have one of those tall Pentair DE filter systems. It has 4 tall accordion type filters inside. While cleaning those today, I noticed the little white band (think there are 3-4 on each filter) was separating. It appears each one has come apart, actually. Just wondering if it's...

We have 2 LEDs in our pool & 1 in the spa. We're happy we went with the LED versus standard due to the color changes we can do. Kids like having a light show at times and we like having the straight blue while in the spa. Seeing it reflect off the house at night is a nice effect also. We have...

The spa is connected to the pool equipment. Not sure if I could turn the pump off... Wouldn't that make the water cycling through the heater to stop too?

Wife and I were enjoying the spa last night with the snowflakes dropping ever so lightly... Enjoying some 90+ temps then the freeze guard kicked on!!!! I'm wondering if there is a way to bypass it, at least while we're in there. I know it's there for a reason, but so am I! :) Please let me...

Nose on!!! We have a few palms around the pool area that we recently cut back! Glad to know we don't have something more major going on. I'm glad we took care of any concerns with y'alls help on this! Outside of having a TON of chlorine now, the pool is sparkly and seems to be doing well... Now...

@ Linen, we passed the 2 criteria. Thanks to all for the assistance!

Re: Is it possible for gunite to leak? Ok... I suck at checking this board from time to time!!! Update on here... PB found a 'spec' of something in a valve going to the spa. Bascially, they said that spec of PVC dust was causing the valve to not have a seal and water was leaking before it got...

We had the Turbo Twister installed with our pool and the kids love it!! Not to mention the occasional slide down by us parents :)

Re: Is it possible for gunite to leak? I will ask the wifey to get some pictures... last week has been hectic in Monkey-ville :)

I'd be interested in this as well!! I thought I was just going to snag one off Craigslist and use it till it started rusting on my deck :) Will follow this thread as well.
