Only reason I would wait is if I have to pay for the redo which I figure that’s how it will happen. But I get your point. Basically I just need to find out what it will cost me and decide then.

I totally agree. Definitely inefficient. At this point the only way to fix it I think is to tear up the concrete, have the plumbing redone. I told my wife basically what we have is a kiddy pool with our adult pool lol. But if it can at least warm up, then I at least got what I was told I was...

Ok thanks. I think my main concerns are answered. How long can my pump be run at 90% speed? I’ve read somewhere before that you don’t want your pump running full capacity for a long time. But not sure there is anything to that.

I’ve been thinking about the spa and if it can heat up or not. Basically as long as more water is going in than going over the spillway the spa can heat. It would take awhile. Any thoughts?

I turned my pump to 90%. Turned valves to spa only. Flow rate on heater shows 56 gpm. Flow rate on pump shows 59gpm. Jets in spa are decent. I’m still missing two nozzles. My pool guy didn’t put any in so I ordered my own and they will get here today. I think the pressure is decent from the...

Thanks. I will research this.

This is easy touch. The heater is wired direct to a breaker so it is not controlled by the panel at all. It is controlled only by the button on the outside. I just figured that today. My installer admitted he knows nothing about the easy touch. It was just part of the package for salt pool...

I will test it out when I get home.

The electric heater is only in the flow for the spa. I can’t remember if when I looked I had the return going to spa and pool. Most likely that was the case. But when I put this to only go into the spa, the return jets have only a small amount more pressure. The 4th jet I can barely feel water...

Recently I had a pool/spa combo built. I chose a local company that doesn’t have a lot of experience. Kind of found that out along the way. I have another post with some issues I had but now it seems most of my problems are solved but I have a spa that doesn’t really function as a spa. Before...

I don’t know the RPM. My system shows me GPM and speed percentage. I tried to find a way to convert the speed percentage to rpm but didn’t find anything online that tells me. I set it up to run at 65 gpm on spa mode which is about 75% speed. My heater shows 39 to 40 gpm coming from it. It’s...

Some photos of my equipment for reference. Pump is intelliflo3 3hp I assume since it is the 230v. My pool guy found a cracked jet and replaced it so hopefully that was the only leak. Monitoring the pool level now. Leaves me with the pressure issue. Pressure is good in the pool it seems but the...
