    Pressure Testing

    In my current/first ever pool build, I have installed more than 1,000feet of pvc pipe. After reading the directions for the pvc glue and primer, I have noticed that all of the cans specifically say "Do not test with air." How do I test if I cannot use air? With water and air? My local pool...

    SAVI/Fiberworks control with Intellitouch???

    Does anyone know if SAVI or Fiberworks lighting can be controlled with the Pentair Intellitouch? I am looking to install LED shelf bubblers and would like to control the LED color changing lights of the bubblers using screenlogic or an Iphone.

    Mountain range in Sand Filter?

    Mulitport spider gasket/sand in pool??

    I have a 7 year old Sta-Rite 240BP sand filter with a 112-148 multiport valve. Last year I noticed a small amount of sand in the bottom of the pool but it was very slight and manageable. Opening the pool this year, I decided to replace the sand and inspect the laterals. The laterals looked...
