    Pentair Pool Light Problems

    I have the Y-764889 Pool Light. It's from 2007 or so, and not working. The apparent alternative is the Pentair Architectural Series pool light. Outrageously expensive, so I'm hoping I might save that slight amount if I can find out the proper cord length to buy, 50' or 100'. What was the...

    Pentair Triton TR-100C Filter Help Needed

    This is on my pool. It is a great filter. But now it has a leak at the coupling coming out of the filter housing. This is the lower one, of course, so it will be more difficult to work on. Does anybody know about working on these filters? It seems that this coupling is available as a separate...

    In Over My Head Running PVC, Maybe somebody can help

    I have never liked how these guys installed the plumbing for the pool. You can see, it is essentially impossible to change the four valves, and they left them so low to the ground too. The pipes are also coming up through the concrete, which I thought was frowned upon. There were a lot of...

    Plumbing Question, Rigid PVC, Union Fitting

    Awhile back CJadamec posted a comment which applies to me: I have been using Rigid PVC, and things progressed fairly smoothly. However, I have now run into a question for the experts. It is just a short run, from the pump to the filter, and I put a union in there to make things easy to...

    Pump to Filter Plumbing Question

    This is a minor detail, but I would like to understand. Some run the plumbing from the pump up, 90 degree turn, then straight to the filter. But I've seen where the plumbing from the pump goes up, higher than the filter inlet, then bends down, then bends to go to the filter. I don't...

    Charlotte Pipe vs. Silverline, Any Difference in Quality / Reducing Fitting Question also

    I ordered Charlotte Pipe from Lowe's. I got Silverline Pipe. Should I be upset? Is it worth returning? Are all Schedule 40 pipes manufactured to the same standards? I'm also needing the reducing fitting, to go from 3" to 2" for the Pentair 263080 valve. I have found Charlotte 437-338, which...

    Sand Filter, Can It Be Too Big?

    I've been doing much research here, appreciate all the help from duraleigh and also mas985. I've also found excellent information from ferretbone, who strongly suggested the Triton over the Tagelus, which was my first choice. I'm now wondering, TR100 or TR140 for a pool I'm guessing at is 18K...

    Focus on the Filter (Pentair Sand)

    I have narrowed my choice for the filter to the Pentair Tagelus 60D. I eliminated the Pentair Sand Dollar because the tank is thermoplastic. I'm thinking the Tagelus 60D should be fine, but a few of experts much prefer the Triton II, although both Tagelus and Triton II are made with a...

    Sta-Rite System 3 S7MD60 Questions

    I have the S7MD60, has been going fine for about 13 years. I have a problem now, and I'm sure the filter module needs replacing. It is 25023-0160s, although apparently 25023-0172s will also work in the S7MD60. Is Sta-Rite still making the System 3 system? Or at least the filter modules? Is it...

    Pentair Intellichlor Red Flow Light / Red Salt Level Problem

    Hello; I'm hoping some of the experts here can be of more help than Pentair has been. It is an Intellichlor IC40, manufactured 9/21/2011, version 2.02. Had been working fine until a couple of months ago, when one of the green lights on the % chlorination generation went out. Pentair said...
