So I've had my pool for 20 years, and clean it with a TigerShark. Occasionally I need to use an actual vacuum, and perhaps I am an just an idiot, but I can never get it to work correctly. 1) The ribbed hose has a clearly labeled "Attach this to the vacuum head"... which I do. 2) For the other...

Hi- I am trying to help a friend regarding his new pool build. As my pool plumbing/pump configuration is different (2 pumps, 1 heater, solar panels), I am looking for some clarification on general heating/water routing for his configuration. He has a spillover spa, a single pump, and a single...

I live in Tampa, Florida, and pay for pool chemical service (for many years). They've installed their own SWG, which is part of the package. It looks like some no-name brand, and has been on the house for about 10 years+. Long story short, my pricing continues to go up, and service continues...

So in an attempt to find a leak today, I removed my Pentair light from the niche. Then I spent about 30 minutes trying to get the light back in the niche.... While this is always a PITA for me, today was even more of a PITA. The machine screw (on the top) that holds the light into place would...

Just had a Pentair Intelliflo VS 011056 installed. It is running on internal timer/program. The only reason I was thinking about controlling it with a DIY automation system is to detect if my solar panels are on, and then have the controller increase the pump speed. But in researching, I...

I have a Goldline GL-35 Solar Controller. It moves a 24V Actuator on a 3-way valve to direct water to the solar panels when heat is called for, and bypass the panels when no heat is called for. For my DIY automation system, I need to know when the panels are active, so I can boost the output...

My current Pentair Pinnacle inlet centerline is 10.25". The replacement pump inlet centerline (Intelliflow VSF) is 9.1". The old pump is connected to the supply piping (1.5") through a male threaded couple (threads into the Pinnacle pump). Is there any way to "drop" the supply line down 1.15...

I have 2 Pentair Pinnacle pumps- one for pool (spillover), and one for spa bubbles. About every 4-5 years, I either have to replace the motor, or the pump housing on one or the other. The pump housings (part 356002) all seem to develop cracks in the same place, and the manufacturer has never...

After years of running out to the side of the house in my underwear to turn off my spa heater/pump (sorry for the visual), I have decided it is time to automate. Thanks to this forum and several of the great threads, here we go! (Disclaimer: While it is a *BUILD* thread, some may view it as a...

Hi, I have a built-in spill ever spa, and today I notice one jet is essentially dead. The spa pump is ok. All other jets are ok. I am unsure of how the air vent pipe works, but it seems to stall... I.e air comes out of all jets but the one in question, then the air stutters for under a...
