Although I do own a pool - I don't have any issues with it so not much point in updating the profile. This is a customers pool which I maintain seasonally. I have read the manuals. They do nothing to help troubleshoot the automated valve actuator nor do they tell me if I can consider operating...

Hey TFP'ers, Hoping to get some help with an existing in-floor cleaning system. Don't know exact age but I would guess pool/system is 15-20 years old. I am having issues getting the in-floor system to operate consistently. I have the circulation system returning all water through the in-floor...

Could be but without labels I can't tell which plumbed lines are what. Is the main drain line the line which is plumbed off the tee closest to the front of pump? The lines furthest from the pump are for skimmers? If so then you have those valves setup correctly. That said you have a secondary...

Since the main drain is on the suction side of your circulation system you do not need to pressurize anything beyond the front of the pump. In other words it looks like you should be able to turn the three way valve between pump and filter off so that no air flows beyond it. Then just make sure...

I would still operate the pump a couple hours a day and only have the SWG operate if chlorine levels drop. If FC stays consistent no need to add more especially since your cover is preventing chlorine loss from sun. Close the pool once the water temp drops and off you go. Current water...

I have posted a similar question with regards to winterizing these valves. Regardless which valve you have there are a number of ports which feed a branch of cleaner heads. It is probably safe to assume that one of your branches feeds all the cleaner heads in the step. You are likely able to...

I know. I have some. Just means the anchors are not nearly as 'hidden' during pool season.

Well that's some great info - thanks. I am going to look for a cross bit next time I am at a hardware store. Have considered sanding the ridge on an anchor to prevent chipping when tamping them. What do you bevel the concrete with?

FWIW - this was my own pool so was trying hard to keep the construction process and final result "near perfect'. It was also an opportunity to practice using a different installation technique. That said, I could not find anywhere that would rent me a core drill. Ghost town. So I installed with...

So the next question is...what the heck is going to happen when this persons VS is running at full speed and they decide to kick the Tristar on? Old fashion football team versus firefighters tug-o-war? It honestly seems like a science experiment. Will there be any repercussions to either pump?

Anyone have experience with this?

I know. Originally the pool only had one single speed pump. That has been replaced with a variable speed Superpump. My assumption is that they did not know how to program (Hayward OmniLogic) the VS pump to satisfy the heater and salt system with the deck jets and waterfall so they added another...

Okay. Thanks Jim. I just kept picturing the two dogs from Lady and the Tramp fighting over the same piece of spaghetti. Water, like spaghetti, should not get pulled in two different directions?

Hi folks. I am going to be closing a pool with a Caretaker 5 cleaning system which I have not winterized previously. I am trying to determine what the best course of action is to winterize the lines which run from the unit to the pool. I am under the impression that I can individually blow out...

Sorry, should have grabbed an image while I was there but didn't. Closed a pool which had an equipment overhaul sometime this spring. This was the suction side setup and I am not sure if this contravenes common plumbing practice. There are two lines (skimmer and main drain) which feed suction...
