Walmart has a Taylor K-2005 for $20, is this a good buy? I know the only diff b/w 2005 & 2006 is FAS-DPD chlorine test, while the K-2005 has the DPD chlorine test. I've already have K-2006 but low in test refils so instead of buying a few refills which comes out almost the same buying this...

As it turned out, it was #3 check valve that needed replace when I opened it, it was not in good condition so I replaced that and the problem was solved. Another successful DYI due to the readiness helpful of this community. I am so thankful for all the experts that we have here.

That's what I thought too. Should I replace the whole thing or just a flap? Not sure if they even sell just the flap. Found something on Amazon and I think it'll fit. Pool Check Valve

Sorry for my ignorant but I don't fully understand these lines. I've noticed that 2 (return) & 5(suction) are automatically turned based on either pool filter is set (current pic) or Spa. 4 is just water spray. from the pic below, which valve (#) should I check & replace? I saw a youtube...

For some reason my spa water now is halfway after the schedule pump ran. It takes about 30 or 40 for the water to lowered but it stops right at all the water returned line I think. The only way to fill it back up is run the pump for all but if I run for spa only, the water remains low & it just...

He agrees to cut down the rebar. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

So I have a rebar rust spot & my pool plaster is about 17 yrs. I've decided to replaster & fix the rebar. My expectations from reading is to either drill down to the rebar & cut it out or put the rust inhibitor around the rebar but the contractor told me that is not necessary. He cuts 2 lines at...

We have a power outage (about 30 mins) over the weekend and now the pump does not even making any noise. Is it dead? Before the power completely goes out, the neighborhood power was on/off a few times so I think this might have shorted the pump or completely killed it. I've tried to replace a...

It just died. I need to take it out as when I turn it on, just made a loud noise and eventually turned off. Can it be revived? This is my 2nd pump in 12 years of owning the pool. Also how do I find a compatible one if mine model happens to be out of stock in most places. TIA.

Yeah, understood, I've dumped in 8 bags and after a few days, my salinity avg is 3800 so it is within range of suggested. Setting up the output like 40% and it is producing chlorine keeping it around 4.5ppm. I only have the pump runs 5 hr on high during the day and 6 hr on low during night...

so I have a variable speed pump HAYSPX3220Z2MER which the sound is a bit loud, it's like 6 years old. Is it time to replace or let it run until it dies? is there a part that I can replace to reduce the noise? It's working just a bit load and I am afraid it bothers the neighbor. Also if it...

I got it running, the white one does go to the neutral as indicated and now I just start to put the salt in and we'll see how it goes in 24 hrs. Thanks for all the help.

Yes, it is 110 as I’ve confirmed with a multimeter reader, also the controls box says 120 VAC. So I should only need the load wire connect to the load & put the white wires to the neutral (see pic) which I see it has the column below in my box, is this right? Also I’ve already set the jumper to...

The RJ has black and white, so on my control panel it only label as load out. Not sure which is neutral. is the proposed below correct?

is this means that the load wire does not matter which one goes where?

Getting close to the finish line but unsure about the load 1 and 2 lines, does it matter which color (white or black) goes where? TIA.

Thanks, looks like another trip to HD, also thanks for the link Rancho.

I've assembled the config but I am not so sure if this is correct as from CP kit, it didn't show the flow of the water and the SWG seems to be backward unless the flow of the water is hitting th SWG first then the switch flow, for mine, it goes to the Flow switch first then the SWG. Is my SWG...

You mean make sure the flow is pointing upright because the water is going up correct? Just to confirm, just got the unit today, going to HD tomorrow to grab all the unions, pcv and s-elbows. Hopefully I can get it done in a few hours.

I will, adding all the parts together at HD comes out to be the same as buying the kits, only downside is I have to wait for it to be shipped.

Thanks, I didn't think about vertical until your post. That's how much room I have to work with.
