    Pentair Mastertemp 400 leak

    I have a Pentair Mastertemp 400 that's leaking. It looked like the water manifold was leaking so I replaced all the O rings. Now I have water dripping out of the white plastic air inlet. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix this? Thank you all and Merry Christmas to everyone!

    Is there such a device that will capture the heat generated by a homes central heat/air condenser and transfer that heat to the pool?

    Optimal GPM flow rate for filtering and backwashing.

    I have a pentair TR-100 and a pentair Inteliflo VS (3hp) pump. I have installed a Flovis check valve / flow meter between the filter and heater. I think the pump is capable of 140 GPM. I'm sure this is the max under optimal conditions, but it will peg the flovis at 100 GPM pretty easy. I...
