Should I pour Paver Base up to the bottom of PVC lines (or halfway up lines) and then cover with several inches of sand and top layer can be existing or new soil? Pavers will be reinstalled over some of the lines. The top layer over the lines along my fence will be top soil. Thanks!

This good? Thanks again!

Will these work? Or should I get pea gravel instead of All-Purpose gravel? Thanks!

Anyone know which manufacturer makes 22.5 degree & 45 degree 2" PVC elbows, 1.5" to 2" deep socket conversion coupling? Thanks! Glad I posted pics before I buried this. This is an accountant doing his own pool lines. :geek: These should work, right...

I did the plumbing. I can't replace the old 1.5" flex plumbing because it's close to the pool and buried under pavers. I converted to 2" schedule 40 PVC.

Is this pea gravel good to use? Thanks Allen!

What material should I use to backfill under and around new PVC pool lines? I was thinking sand for under and first 2-4" over lines, then dirt. Please advise. If you recommend sand, what coarseness? Thank you!

Can't I just put multiport valve on "WASTE", leave only main drain open (close skimmers) to drain water below the skimmers for closing? I have a vinyl inground pool.

FYI - This could be caused by the "heater safety speed" setup if your programmed speeds are lower. I just got off the phone with Pentair because I couldn't figure out why my programs (both Intelliconnect and pump panel entered) kept getting overridden - going from 1,700 & 1,900 RPM to 2,460...

One pool contractor told me that I should stick with Hayward Superpump 1.5HP since I will likely need to run Pentair Intelliflo VSF at or close to 100% to satisfy Hayward H400 heater's minimum flow and SWG flow. Therefore, he thinks I won't be saving much, if any, money in electric. I live on...

Spoke to Pentair. Trying to decide between Pentair VS 11028 (3HP), VSF 11056 (3HP) or i2 11060 (2HP). They noted that my new filter, Hayward DE4820, recommends up to 96 GPM. Will a 3HP VS be too powerful and if run on lower RPM/GPM speed will it be sufficient flow for SWG? Any opinions...

Thanks Allen! I did hear the app/web inteface was slow and had issues. I also read that Pentair is supposedly coming out with a new app. I assume the IntelliFlo pump will provide GPM through the app vs only on/off function with a Hayward pump? When I called Pentair they were not very happy...

Yes. Either by using the Dewenwils or the Pentair Intelliconnect 523317: DEWENWILS Outdoor Smart Wi-Fi Outlet Box, Heavy Duty 40A 120VAC 2HP Wireless Controller Timer Switch for Pool Water Heater SPA, Compatible with Smart Phone, Alexa, UL Listed DEWENWILS Outdoor Smart Wi-Fi Outlet Box, Heavy...

Stick with Hayward for VS pumps or go with Pentair? Thanks very much!

Can I use the DE4820 that has 2" openings with 1.5" plumbing? I ordered the DE filter not thinking about the plumbing size. I am currently using a 20+ year old Hayward S200. Also, what HP VS pump would work well with the DE4820? Thanks! Mario 25K gallon 16x32 IGP vinyl liner current...

Hi all, I need help. Heater was working fine a week ago. Heated pool overnight and it was maintaining 76 degrees, I believe it was not heating/ignited at the time and just maintaining the 76 degrees in morning when I raised the temp from 76 to 78 and suddenly the panel went out. After...
