Check the water return "eyballs" as well. There should be some "slotted" returns that aim the water down the side of the pool towards the drain. They help push dirt towards the fixed cleaner nozzles. I need to run the cleaner pump and the main drain pump at the same time to get the best...

http://www.perryspoolpump.com/ May want to give these guys a call. They also sell motors on ebay. (last time I checked). They may have what you need in a motor and advice.

What main drain do you have? We had a paramount SPX that we had to upgrade to the MDX. SPX & MDX are the covers to the main drain system. Our pool has the pcc-2000 system. There is a debris canister between the main drain and the filter. You can download manuals for the system at the...

Our home warranty only covers equipment that is "required" for pool operation. In our situation, the main drain/filter pump. The skimmer/in floor cleaner pump and equipment is not covered.

Our new to us pool had a pump that was seized. I tried the home warranty but it was the skimmer/in floor cleaner pump, not the filter pump, so it wasn't covered. Anyway, we replaced the pump with the same make/model. Super easy. Did not want to hassle with a different make pump and deal with...

Question. How does the power company know if and when you are using power during peak or off peak hours? Especially in a residential situation? I looked at my power company's site, and only has summer and winter rates. Sure, we will soon be getting "Smart Meters" that transmit usage "home"...

Our pool was missing the weir and several other parts when we purchased our home. The pool was empty as well. I did online research of all the equipment and was able to download all of the manuals for everything. Most include exploded views and part numbers. Some have part replacement...

I wonder if geographic location and/or water quality would have some bearing on the AF valve? Have never had a problem with a toilet valve. Flapper? Yes. Valve, no. Never had debris of any kind in the pool autofill housing. The feed is about a foot under water and has a cover over the valve...

I suppose that spending less than 5 minutes a week (including a visual when testing water) inspecting the pool's pumps, filter, autofill, debris baskets, valves, etc for potential issues may be a lot harder than dragging the garden hose out to fill the pool and rolling it back up every day...

I was not aware of an overflow for these units. So where does the "overflow" water go? My last pool had a float unit that when got stuck "on", the pool would over fill. Seems like added work to make an overflow drain to a sewer or to the yard. That would be nice for times of heavy rain. The...

Its the toilet float type.

Has anyone put a meter on the autofill for the pool? We are about to go from a flat rate to pay for usage water. It would be nice to know how much water is going in the pool. It may also help to determine leaks, evaporation, etc. Any info would be appreciated.

Our new to us home came with an empty pool (now full and looking good) with Paramount pcc2000 and mdx2 main drain with debris basket. I presently run the cleaner independent of the main drain. Should they run at the same time for better cleaning? I have found no info from Paramount on the...

May want to give these guys a call. They may be able to help with parts or rebuild/exchange your motor. http://www.perryspoolpump.com/

Another option would be a Pool Blaster (Buster), battery powered, that you could attach to the end of a regular pool pole. I have one and love it. I use it with a women's heavy tight, as bag liner, to get the finest silt out of my shallow end. This is the quickest, easiest way to get up fine...

We have an in floor cleaning system (pcc2000) that seems to work ok with larger debris. Just seems to push the dirt around though. The skimmer inlet does not go to the filter but to a pump and to the pcc2000. I want to use a skimmer adapter and manual vacuum to get the dirt that settles. Will...

Our previous pool we had the pump running 8 hours each day. When we deciced to try and cut energy costs, we cut pump running time an hour at a time for a week and monitored pool water quality. We were able to run the pump less than 4 hours each day and still have a great looking pool. However...

And, if you don't have one already, get a "Whale tail" for the brush as well. Makes brushing almost fun!

www.AmeriMerc.com Purchased filter cartridges and a Pentair Whisperflo pump from them. Two different orders. No problems.

Is there a way to "update" the p-4 control panel to provide two separate pump/filter daily run times? The Chlorine generator and ozone generator have been taken offline and the pool's chemistry is BBB. Would think this computer could be made to program 2 or 3 run times other than the one that...

If you could post a photo, we may be able to assist better.

Depending on the size/gallons of your pool, having "city" water trucked in to fill the pool could be an option. Your softener should keep up with evaporation/splashing and the cost of the water may be worth it over the cost of chems to treat your well water. Not to mention the potential damage...

This is my first experience with an in floor cleaner. I have been running the pcc 2000 for 1/2 hour prior to running the main drain/filter. The cleaner cycles through each zone approx 10 times within the 1/2 hour. I have no problems (yet) with large amounts of debris, leaves etc that the...

Are the fittings that the collar threads onto permanent to the filter housing, or removable? I had a similar situation with a pentair cartridge filter housing. The fitting the collar threads on is threaded into another fitting inside the housing. Ended up unthreading the housing fitting and...

This is the 2nd Rave I have for this company! Jim at Paramount coached me through the PCC 2000 in floor cleaner system operation. (All the nozzles were switched around when the pool was emptied before we bought the home) He told me which nozzle sizes go where and how they are positioned. I...

Sounds like a good idea to me! Makes some sense too. Now, where to find a sock. :wink: Thanks for the help!

We need to add stabilizer but, following the directions on the container is difficult. It says to add to the skimmer with the pump running. I will assume that most skimmers lead to the filter. Our plumbing is constructed different. Pump one: Skimmer to pump to PCC2000 Valve to infloor...

Well, after taking a look at the installation manual that I downloaded from the aqua logic website, I determined that it was operator error! :hammer: Figured out that the circuit breaker that runs the lights and the outlet also powers up the control panel. I am glad I did not call a Goldline...

Opened the pool that came with the new to us home. The pool was empty and needed some return eyeball and main drain cover replacement. After filling the pool, we flipped the main breaker to the P-4 panel. No readout of any kind at the control pad. No power to pumps (3). No readout at...
