It is about a foot from the pool edge. the metal part screws into the hole. there is PVC in the hole and its about 1 ft deep with a little water at the bottom. I was thinking umbrella holder until I saw the PVC in there. Vollyball net is a good guess but here isnt one opposite the other...

This is at the edge of the pool. Anyone know what it is?

Unfortunately no automation. Maybe some day.

Thanks for the reply Allen and you are right! I had the thought last night that I could test it on the pool mode and not screw up the Spa mode. It stops at 62 and then it is stuck there. Now Im testing to see if cutting all power to the unit will set it back to the factory spa temp of 100F...

The up button on my Pentair Mastertemp 250 is not working. Ive read that most likely the membrane needs to be replaced. Im curious though, if I use the down button will it cycle back up to the max temp? Just looking for a temporary solution :p Thanks for any info.

So is it possible to stand all of the grids up on the bottom piece and then fit the manifold on top? Or is it better to individually install them?

I am about to replace the filter grids on my Hayward DE4820. Im replacing all of them and it seems like it might be a little tricky. Any tips on the best way to go about it? Thanks!

Thanks Bama for your reply, Ill look over the manifold closely. Im still curious though, will cracked grids cause a pressure increase? It seems the cracked grids were allowing water to bypass the mesh filter and this explains seeing debris coming out the returns. However I would think this...

Ok so I am going to replace the grids. Is there anything else I should replace at this time? Also I have not service or done anything with the multi valve. Is there anything to be done there. Thanks guys for your help.

Yes I did follow the process. I just took the grid apart and noticed that most of the plastic connectors that hook into the manifold are cracked. Im guessing this is the problem.

Ok so I have shocked the pool and the FC has stabilized at 8FC 50CYA. I am still having pressure problems and I have also noticed that particles of debris are coming out of the return. Any ideas?

This was my first thought as well. I definitely had an algae problem during the first pressure issue so I shocked it at a level of 20FC with 50CYA to clear it up. I am now sitting at 7FC 50CYA. I wouldnt say it is clear just because of all of the leaves and stuff at the bottom but I have been...

Hey guys. I have a Hayward DE filter and Im having some issues. A month ago the pressure on my filter was getting high indicating it needed a cleaning. I cleaned it just as I always do and initially the pressure indicated the normal clean level (~7psi) so I figured everything was good. After...

Depending on the price of the 2 speed, I may just go with the B854 that they gave me. Do you see any problem with it, other than inefficiency?

I am guessing the motor has been replaced, but not real sure. The previous owner was a real jerk and provided no information. I only know that it is a dura-glas I (just by looking at it and comparing to pics online). However for the life of me I cant find a model number on the thing. Thats...

I looked at the impeller part no and here are the specs: 07 - Sta-Rite Dura/Max-E-Glas Impeller, 0.75 HP Full Rated 1.0 HP Uprated (All Series) (C105-138PEB) Is it bad to have a 1.5hp motor with this impeller? Also, is there a 2 speed motor that would operate with this impeller?

So for the past couple weeks every time my pump came on it would make a squealing noise that would go away in about 10 seconds, and resume its usual whrring noise. A couple nights ago I woke up to it making the squealing noise non stop. I was thinking the bearings had gone out so I decided to...

Hey Rockcrawler, Im pretty sure I have the exact same pump as you as well as the same problem. It started out that when I first turn the pump on it would squeal for about 20 seconds and then whrrr away as usual. Just last night I woke up and it was squealing. Are these the same symptoms you...

This isnt entirely related but for my own edification. The main and booster pumps are on separate timers. With the way my setup is plumbed, is it bad to have the booster off while the main is running. The timers are currently set for the main to be running 12hr/day and the booster only runs...

I couldnt agree more. I have no idea what they were thinking. At some point I am definitely going to rework all of that. The multi port is in the least convenient place as well. Dont even get me started on the electrical mess they have going on.

Then unless it is hiding, I am quite sure there is just one hole in the skimmer. Maybe I need to take a closer look but I have yet to find any valves, switches, etc other than the multi-port.

Good call. I didnt think about this. When I have looked into the skimmer before I have only seen one opening, but of course I wasnt really looking for another one. Are they normally both in plain sight if this is the case? Ill have a look this evening. The bottom pipe runs to the other...

First an introduction and then I will move on to my main concern... So I just purchased a house last week and it has a pool. Ive been scouring this forum for the past month so that I will be able to take care of the pool myself. BTW thank you guys so much, this is such a great resource...
