A couple of years - wow! Even Pentair said should not happen after just a few times. As I wrote to others -- "Good news - I called manufacturer (pool builder/renovations company not returning my calls at all) and Pentair will send team to inspect and repair under warranty! Yay!"

Interesting - no sand in the pool. Good news - I called manufacturer (pool builder/renovations company not returning my calls at all) and Pentair will send team to inspect and repair under warranty! Yay!

No dumb responses! Thanks for taking time to reply! I have little faith in pool company who did install. Will never use them again. Good news - I called manufacturer (pool builder/renovations company not returning my calls at all) and Pentair will send team to inspect and repair under warranty! Yay!

Hi All, I have a Pentair Tagelus TA60D sand filter installed May 2023 by a local pool builder. I am in NJ so pool only open May-Sept. From the first backwash - sand came out with discharge. Called Pentair and they said this can be normal for 1 or 2 initial backwashes. This continued through...

Spoke to my town - permits and bonding, inspection definitely required if I do not use the same exact jig. May do without a board. Very hard to find compatible base for my jig. Did not think that would be the case.

Thanks again James. See above. I’m aware of those options. Trying to avoid. New bolts require cutting concrete, permits and bonding and inspection. If I can find a base/board that fit this tripod - simple switch out. Bolts are in good condition. I coat with Vaseline every year. Triac/Latham do...

James - from my original post: Tripod distance between bolts – 9 1/8 (front bolt closest to pool to each rear) 10 9/16 (between 2 rear bolts furthest from pool) Is that enough info? No drawing but I describe layout of tripod and distance between bolts. Single apex of triangle is closest to...

Thanks for the reply. Tried that and S.R. Smith could not help. Said they do not have a base that fits those dimensions. I'm aware of the cutting bolts and using bolt kit option but then it requires cutting into the concrete to reconnect to the electrical bonding wire and this is a lot more time...

Hi All, I have a diving board - 22 years old and is done. Tripod in concrete is in good shape and if I can find a new base and board, I'd easily replace it myself (I take it into my shed each fall - base and board - easy to do). Problem is, I can't find a base that will fit my current tripod and...

Got the guy at CMP to send it to me for free! @1poolman1 - I copied text from your posts here and the guy flexed and sent it. Thanks buddy!

Jim - thanks for this. I have read everything on TFP about this and agree with you! LOL. I had some serious iron issues last summer (likely caused by work being done on old pipes in my neighborhood). Spent $250 on pro water testing of my municipal water after work was complete by my town. No...

Thanks - this is helpful info. Just wondering - did you try both part numbers above? CMP folks keep telling me it is in stock and any supplier should be able to get it. I'm betting you are correct. I'm going to tell them if they have it - get me one gratis at this point. I'd cut the whole thing...

Poolman - CMP tells me they have it in stock. See BOTH product numbers above. One of them should be it. I've had several emails with CMP support. Since I just bought new locking nut and o-ring and zinc bar, I'd like to make that investment useful and finish it off with this part.
