Thanks for the reply, The handle isn't the problem it clears ok as long as i'm mounted like this inline other wise correct can't mount them perpendicula. i am just confused by examples in these particular actuators docs as my actuator is inline with the valve. But reading a haywards actuator...

thank you! i don't fully understand the cam positions yet but will after read more closely, I shall continue then!

wierd, but then again so it goes with these types of things, I guess that's just the 1.5hp pump as the 3hp doesn't have that issue.

So i just realized this after mounting the valves and then reading the directions lol, all of my valves are 2 port straight, they are also close so the only way i can mount the actuator is inline. But in reading the docs on these they don't have that as an option, the show pictures for an...

and here i am tonight ! i didn't get to running the pool filter till late today as some plumbing was giving me a hassle with priming so i redid it real quick. just used chlorine. I did put a bit of classifier in there after vac to waste and 2nd fill. That was so i could use the robot a bit for...

so my salinity test kit got flooded i think i haven't found it yet but who knows which pile it's in =) but i've tested the river water before (i'm on an inlet so brackish) with my test kit and it was around 15000ppm salinity, i've also tested the chlorine generator level readings with the kit...

yeah the plain jane pumps survive ww3, though i do have a spa pump that stopped but i'll bet it's just a capacitor, haven't gotten to it yet to check. I have had an old school pump swamped before (twice) and it ran but shortly afterwards eventually squeeled like crazy from the bearings, so you...

Sorry missed this, i'm sure everyone in same boat with heavy cleanup not much computer time. that's what i did and no science expert but that whole link on no drain replacement didn't quite make sense to me, but salt vs fresh does but i think the 2 say essentially same thing. so i would do a...

what i ended up doing to avoid using my main pump with high salinity, i did a partial 70% or so drain, salt water heavier than fresh, doing a no drian replace for a good while , then refill part of the way . Will see if cleaner line can clean to waste at lower water level if i preprime it and...

not likely , when you redo it make sure its up though this storm wouldn't have made a difference for a lot, or put a plug in and unions and remove before storm. Been there done that, that's what i do. then i have a sump for draining emergencies if it's filling. You can try, an old school pump...

I would really consider a no drain water exchange. yeah that's the ticket and i store a small submersible pump for this which is what i've been using. thanks for info op should consider same but if you're gulf side etc water is a bit cleaner, river side ....it's a chemical bomb of river water

question , is this enough to filter out all of the oils,gas,chems,etc that may be in the water? I've done the 50% replace before filter filter filter but wonder about long term contaminates in the water. i know drain is ideal but it's too risky after a flood by water. If your shell is elevated...
