    Some water going to backwash while push pull valve should be closed

    Hi everyone, just realized that my sand filter seems to be leaking into the backwash while it's filtering. I have a push pull valve, and found a few videos on youtube suggesting the o-rings might need to be replaced. Is this probably the issue, from those with experience? I don't know the...

    Skimmer basket question about main drain

    Help - Need to Slam, want to make sure I understand everything - Page 7 Pic in link above. My skimmer basket has 2 holes, one has a screwed in thing blocking it. My drain does not have separate PVC at my pump/filter, so this leads me to believe that this plug would go to the main drains. If...

    Pool Newbie wants to understand how system works (with pics)

    Nothing is labeled, and the pool guy I had to help get things started didn't really teach me anything. I've read around here a lot, so getting a better feel for how to do the chemistry, but want to make sure I understand how all the valves and setup on my system works. There are no labels or...
