Thank you all. I increased the rpm to 2900 last night and it made a nice difference.

Yes, its a venturi skimmer. The manufacturer sent me instructions on how convert into a vacuum port... very simple. On the return side plumbing there is an electronic valve that sends water to the water feature (3 waterfalls). Each of those waterfalls has its own valve. Other than that there...

Hit send too soon... Proavia on the waterflow question, I believe all the flow is directed at the IFCS. In looking at the pool equipment, I don't see how I could divert elsewhere. I don't see a mixing valve/handle on the return plumbing.

Thanks everyone for the replies! On the skimmer question, I don't have the original lid since we tiled over everything with travertine. My build sheet from Shasta indicates "Quick Clean Extreme", not sure how helpful that is but the skimmer is circular and 8" in diameter. Proavia-what is...

Hi Everyone I noticed recently when I turn on the pool its purges air from the pop-ups as it runs through cycling the pop-ups. After the initial cycle the purging is gone and all behaves normally. When I shut the system down I can hear a gurgling in the filter canister confirming to me that...
