The Pentair 420would be fine for your pool.

Hi Kory. Where does the other side of your 3way suck water from? If your pump is 12 in. below water level, a leak should be obvious. Lastly, did you replace the total guts of the valve, including the valve cover? - - - Updated - - - Sorry, wrong name, correct topic, LOL - - - Updated - - -...

I'm unclear, does the blower come on or not?

How old is your filter? That S7M model has a 10 year factory warranty on the shell.

Obviously, your pool sharp. Based on experience when I lived back East, I had some customers that set up their plumbing to bypass their heater. I would recommend 3 way Jandy valves, and would winterize the heater including the gas line. A cover for the heater would be optional.

Unplug the spaside switch, when broken it will cause the system to do wired on and off stuff.

Your question is not clear to me. The whisperflo is a good pump so to replace the motor is a goo dc option. The seal and plate gasket must be replaced. You did not say what kind of pump is on the ag pool?

Yes, you can bypass the heater with valves. But the real issue is why are you getting copper in your pool? It is probably your heater, it is a copper exchanger. Is your ph in line? Is it low? Low ph will erode copper from your heater and stain your pool. Things like chlorine pucks in the...

Re: Help with multiport valve and spider gasket You should also only turn the multiport valve when the pool pump is off.

Did you check the power to the motor at the lugs on the PC board or at the back of the motor? Make sure that you know whether the motor is 110v or 220v.

Did you try to run the spa in service mode? That might help

How gifted are you mechanically? I'm a pool and spa repair guy so I don't think it is that hard but replacing the element us easy but time consuming. Better the element than a new spa unless is really old.

Does this happen if you turn pool on first and then go to spa mode or you go out and turn spa on first? It always helps to know whether this is a spa or pool condition with your pool. I don't believe it is heater related.

Also make sure your filter is clean, and the baskets too!

Never heard of pool light burn marks, but I have seen rust marks from a light screw that was not stainless or something else inside the niche that was rusting.

It is an old time diverter valve that rotates to suck water from the main drain. You need to loosten it if you want main drain action. It's a pug in, it's not threaded in. How old is your pool?

Just my ten cents but you could adjust the cam in the actuator along with the two valves so that the flow is fairly constant. Might not help but it does give you another option.

The way you dealt with the spa stains is exactly right. Muriatic acid is the best for stain removal yes, its okay to walk inside the pool but be careful not to leave footprints. Also, do not let any acid roll down the pool walls that will cause streaking. Liberal use of a hose and a submersible...

What is tranchless pipe repair?

Without going long, you had a leaking seal hence the white stuff. You can't di anything about the tie bolts;based on 30 years fixing motors, you need a new motor.

At this point. I would not be concerned. If that is the only time it happens, I've seen that many times. If it gets worse at all, however, I would definitely inspect the grids and manifold.

I ground cleaning systems are fairly troublesome, plus they do not pick up large debris. The size of your main drain grates is the determined. I think not having any returns at 12in will certainly affect your skimming efficiency.

Sorry, did not get your answer as to the amount of de that you added to your filter. The actual mfg dosage is 1lb if de for every 10 sq feet of filter area which would be 4.8 lbs of de.

Probably if your laterals were broken, then sand will return to pool I would check for the spider gasket in the backwash valve, some type of channeling in the sand, and then the laterals last, because that requires you to remove all of the sand.

Hi Sandy. Bama is right. That filter is a good one. Just replace the cartridges. I used to live in the SFV also. A VSP is the way to go, and except for the piping around the pump, the rest of the plumbing should be sufficient There are lots of pool companies around Granada Hills. Shop around...

Hi Nia. Wel, if your pump is lower than the skimmer, then the pump pot will always have water in it, and its called a flooded system. So basically you can't take the lid off at all, because water will gush out and getting that lid back on will be tough. Most ag pool owners will add a shutoff...

I'm looking at your video more closely. It could be that the water is dripping from that union. If so, either tightening it up, a new o ring, or Teflon tape will fix that. As to the seal, yeah, seals can fail from many factors. As to the noise, I'm reacting to your video and sound. It sounds...

I've always used regular pvc cement for abs backwash valves, over 100 in 30 years. Always worked well Make sure you prime all the fittings well.

Hi bgkob and welcome. The noise you hear is from your motor. The leak is from the seal in the pump of which the motor is connected to. Sadly, what has happened to you is that the leaking seal has allowed water to ruin the front bearing in your motor, which is causing the grinding noise. Unless...
