Hmm, not sure. I may have had a server outage or something at the time you visited. Let me know if they are showing up now.

I actually use 10% so I went with the 12% option. So far not a single trace of "white stuff" Hoses are still crystal clear. On a side note. I use to fill my 55 gallon fish tank with a 1/4 inch vinyl line that I would connect to a near by faucet. The line got completed coated with "white...

Just some numbers (roughly) @ 1.5 GPM 1 ft of 1/4 inch line will drop around 1.27 PSI of pressure @ 2.0 GPM 1 ft of 1/4 inch line will drop around 2.21 PSI of pressure @ 1.5 GPM 2 ft of 1/4 inch line will drop around 2.54 PSI of pressure @ 2.0 GPM 2 ft of 1/4 inch line will drop around 4.41...

Nice work, the big thing is to keep the 1/4 inch section 100% as short as possible. The 1/4 inch line will drop pressure pretty fast. In very small sections it's not dramatic. I'll have my new plastic parts on Monday as well as a 3/8 ID ball valve exactly like the one supplied with EQ...

It's actually a non functional drain. The pool use to have pop-ups at one time. The previous owner opted to cover those up when they had it re-plastered. It would appear they also did something to the plumbing for the main drain as well. The pipe is there, everything looks right but it...

OK, somehow my 17 year old managed to bust the main drain cover in my pool..even though it was 8 1/2 feet down. I'm having a hard time trying to locate a replacement. It's got a big hole in it. The markings on it are Ccsi (Fancy C__) 4-1-10-20 Any help at all would be appreciated...

Ya, I was able to get things working somewhat ok if I shut down the output valves on my returns. The pressure would go up and the LQ would work a bit better. It still didn't work as well as it does now. Also I would be pushing less gallons per day through the filter and increasing my...

Well mine are already turning black after about 3 days. The chlorine eats them away. I'll be ordered new fittings as well as a 3/8 inch ball valve to replace the 1/4 inch one. The company I mentioned above has the exact same one that shipped with the EQ as well as larger ones. Like this one...

I've not ordered them yet, but one of these should be exactly what is needed. Here I'll figure out the exact size and post more. Kind of tied up this second.

I know why, the pressure on my return line was too low. Inside the filter is only around 8 PSI most of the time and by the time it gets to the outlets it's even less. It's not an issue with my pump being too weak, more an issue with my 48 sq/ft FNS plus filter being too free flowing. I...

Ok, so I took a few more pics to help explain things. I'll start with the flow Notice I replaced the fittings with 3/8 ID. They screwed in with the same exact type of pipe thread as the ones supplied with the EQ. They are just standard pipe thread. Note: I am using brass for a couple...

Here is some photos for what I did to adapt the 1/4 inch ID devices to 3/8 inch. Step one, cut a short piece of 1/4 inch line (same stuff that came with the LQ) Step two, slide that small piece over the existing valve, control, etc. Step three, slide the 3/8 inch line on top of the...

Hey, new to the forum and the LQ. I had a nice write up about about how I went from a flow of "2" to "5" using the stock control valve, stock flow meter and one stock check valve on the inlet...but I accidentally closed the wrong tab and lost all my typing :( The story is simple. Move to...
