Interesting. I have an autofiller (toilet float valve style), but it sets less than a foot from the wall and ties directly to the wall of the pool. I have it on my irrigation controller and scheduled to weekly. I have never observed dirty water...always appears to have clean water. distance...

Question for all of you that have autofill chambers with overflow. My autofill/overflow chamber has the bottom of the chamber there is the drain and supply water that goes to a fluidmaster fill valve. Inside the chamber is a stick of pvc pipe that is friction slipped into the bottom overflow...

Is the gears and impeller the same for the top feed 5 and 6-port units as well as the low profile 5- and 6-port units (side inlet)? I have a low-profile 6-port and was wanting to order a full set of gears/impeller and the retainer locks. The websites that sell them only mention them being for...

Looking to upgrade my pool pump and then spa pump eventually, but had got me thinking as I am almost past my first year and first time owning a pool: FREEZE PROTECTION: Both pumps have freeze protection and will turn on when ambient temperatures drop below 36F. Has anyone laid out a cross-over...

Do you see the inline check valve ( in the SWCG manifold) move at all when you kick the pump on/off? Mine moves about a 1/4 of the window, now all pumps are going to flow differently, and that check valve will move...but would be a nice indication that you are at least actuating the check valve...

I have a silly question...I replaced the flapper part of the waterway check valve, and screwed it back onto the body, since I have an in-floor cleaning system that also goes to the SPA, could that also be draining the water back down through the A&A low profile valve selector when the pump is...

Talked with SaltPoolGuys.com, they led me to the simulator plug to isolate the main unit from the tri-sensor. I will report back when I get the results.

I have a DIG-220 with PPC4 Cell. The errors that have been popping up on this unit have been very random, and all have led me to believe the wiring and/or tri-sensor is the culprit. The temperature is accurate based against an analog thermometer. MODEL: DIG-220 (Year: 2014) SOFTWARE: 4.40...

Good Point. ehhh, starting to see why pool/spa combos can be kind of a mess, especially when you are aerating the water.

I was thinking, you could balance your spa return to match your spa suction so that you are not allowing (excess water) overflow to the waterfall. That is my hope on my end, to be able to dial it in with the 3-way valve (balance flow). Of course I am not in any automation, just manually...

I am in a similar predicament. I tried to balance my spa suction/supply just to the point where it wont spillover the waterfall when it is running normally, filtering each day. I agree automating this process would be sweet, as I still want to filter out the spa portion but not always aerate...
