Hello Forum, I am trying to locate a spa jet nozzle. See pics. - No part numbers on nozzle - Nozzle is about 4" - Inside diameter is 7/16 inch - Installs with 11/16 socket - Circa 1997 - Installs with 2 lugs- You insert it and rotate 90 degrees ( like an old radiator cap ) Looks a bit...

Hello, If you want to salvage the Polaris, you could try fiberglassing the old cover. I did this with mine about 7 years ago now... The key is that your old blower cover, while cracked, can provide a mold of sorts for the fiberglass. You must make sure that the cover retains its shape while...

Missed attachment.

Hello Forum, I have a sta-rite pentair heater that I am trying to rat-proof with MK RP-100. The instructions are not quite clear to me and I have made my best guess at how the pieces are installed. I wanted to know if anyone knows where I might find some pictures of a correct installation...

Yes thank you. My heater is in fact on the same 220V circuit as the pump. I guess the best thing would be stick an oscilliscope on it (don't have a spectrum analyzer :) and see what it looks like with the motor running. My pump capacitor is not that old and was within spec in January when I...

OK Thank you for the suggestion. Yes I will report any findings in this thread. For the switch I thought of putting an on/off switch inline with the 220V supply to the heater, but your idea might be a little less work and more neat/tidy. I am not sure what you mean by harmonics- you mean...

Yes thank you for the reply. I understand what you are saying; but my problem is that when the heater is shut down properly, and the pump is turned off and on (cutting and restoring power to the heater) the heater re-lights. I.e, it is not correctly "remembering" the previous state of "heater...

Hello Forum, I have a Pentair Sta-rite Max-e-therm heater that will turn on by itself in the morning when the pool pump comes on. I have seen other threads on similar issues with heaters (around 2016) and from these I can see: - the heater may do this if the the heater is powered down (...

Thank you all for the replies. I have both conditions mentioned above; some small cracking and also a few places where the mortar has washed/worn out requiring a .5" worth of fill.

Hello Forum, I am looking to make some minor repairs to the mortar around my stone coping. Assorted cracks and a place where it has worn off and crumbled away a bit. The coping is a red standstone and the mortar is a tan colour (I think this may be called buff). I have included a pic of...

Thank you very much, everyone, for this thread; I have been hunting around for ages to verify the cap for my whisperflo pump.... Not sure why this info should be so hard to come by (my user guide has a parts list which conveniently excludes the cap or its specification)... I was able to...

OK James, thank you. I understand about the CYA; I just thought it would be better to put in 1/2 the recommended amount... I expected to see CYA 40-50 (used to be 30) as a result. I am going to adjust and test (everything) as you recommend. Thank you for all the help.

Hello All, some progress. I have my new test kits from Amazon (K2006 is on sale) and can test CH and CYA (also got a kit for salt) as of today. Last week, I looked at the pool math calculator, and added some bleach, CaCl, Salt and Stabilizer ( I added 1/2 the recommended amounts and let it...

Thank you all for your comments. I didn't know about the scale-back at 60F and lower; otherwise the explanation of the duty cycle fits with what I was thinking. I do have a DPT test kit; it only tests CL, PH, TA though, so I take my water to Leslies occasionally to see if the salt level...

Thank you JW for the info. I didn't know that output was based on temp- I thought that, for example, a setting of 50% would mean the generator would be on for 1/2 of the pump run time. I.e., the 50% is a "duty cycle".... I am basing this on the fact that I sometimes see a current of 0A when...

Hello Forum, I have a prob with my SWG and wondered if anyone has had/seen this issue. Just fyi, my water analysis report today ( from Leslies ): FAC 0 TAC 0 Salt 2800 CH 200 CYA 30 TA 110 pH 7.8 Copper 0 Iron 0 Phosphates 150 Also: Pump run time 10 Hr/Day Pool size 14000 gal. Location DFW...

Hello, I have the exact same question, and wondered if you had resolved this. I noticed that the parts lists I see online do show a "cylindrical part" in the exploded diagram that must be the foam filter (right under the cover). But there is no part # associated with it. I tried calling...
