Hello friends, I am experiencing the following symptoms with my intelliflow pump: After running the pump for 18 hours, the pump's basquet is almost empty. The pump is set to run at 750 rpms. Pump primes well but slowly the basket starts to drain and only small trickle comes out of the...

Hi! Thanks for getting back to me so very fast. The method you describe is the exact method I used to weld my joints. However, when pushing down in to the pipe the fittings would put an incredible resistance force? It was like someone is forcing air against my fittings. :( G/

HI, I am working in a new 1.5 manifold for my 3 suction lines. In the process I am having difficulty with the elbow sweeps gluing to the sweep fittings. The main problems is that the sweeps would not glue properly as they push back as I am trying to hold them in place. For some reason, there...

Hello friends, D.E. was being left at the bottom of the pool and decided to get to the reason why. I checked the filter grates and MANIFOLD 4000 SERIES 8 HOLE and both came out ok. I then removed the rotor valve from my Pentair 4048. After a close inspection of my NORYL ROTOR VALVE 073369 the...
