I inherited a ~12,000 gal in-ground pool when I bought my house. I have a Fiberstar (model 6004) on my pool that I need to repair. I have the following question; If I like to put an 8 color wheel instead of a 4 color wheel, the only thing I need to do is to swap the color wheel (cristals)...

Mas985 & Scott, Thanks for your inputs. The size of the direction eyeball is 3/4" not 1/2". I bought this size to try to increase preassure, in the past the spa only have the pipe comming out the wall and a cap without eyeball. ed

Scott, Thanks I have a question for you. In the picture attached of one of my 4 jets, that is a directional fittings or a hex shaped nozzle? How far inside the jet is the hex shaped nozzle?. Can you send me a picture of the hex shaped nozzle so I can have a better idea when I look? Thanks...

I re-checked the pool, spa, solar heater preassures and these are the results; Normal Operating Pressure Range; A) Without Filter Cartridge; 1) Solar Heater (SH) OFF & Pool mode only: 12 psi. 2) SH ON & Pool node only: 19 psi 3)SH OFF & only SPA mode: 24 psi. 4)SH ON & only SPA mode: 25 psi...

Mark, Sorry for ask, can you explain what the "The input and output ports" mean? Thanks ed

Mark, I almost forgot. In the past I put the pump in spa mode only and I can get pressure with bubbles (aeration) Regards, Ed

Mark, Thanks again, Yes, without filter mean removing the cartridge. I will double check my numbers tomorrow and I will let you know. When you said "That could indicate that the filter was installed backwards so you might want to double check the port labels. Or perhaps A is B and B is A?" What...

Hi Guys, I took some numbers and I like to share with you; Normal Operating Pressure Range; A) Without Filter; 1) Solar Heater (SH) OFF & Pool mode only: 16 psi. 2) SH ON & Pool node only: 24 psi 3)SH OFF & only SPA mode: 28 psi. 4)SH ON & only SPA mode: 30 psi. B) With Filter; 1) Solar...

Thanks lborne and mas985, I will try all the suggedtions this weekend. I will let you know (saturday or sunday) the normal operating pressure range, the run lengths and filter pressure for spa and pool modes. Ed

lborne, I found that it is a spring check valve (2"). Which one should be the problem? The one after the filter housing or the one in ground comming from the solar heater? How this spring valve can create an slow flow? If I isolated the pool from the solar heater the only check valve involved...

PoolGuyNJ, I will post a pic of the spa in pool mode. waste; If I only turn the return valve (the one circled in green), the water on the spa return to the pool and enter only thru the spa jet. Still no bubbles lborne; When I isolated the pool from the solar heater, I think that the system is...

lborne, I have two pipes like you, but with a "hanger" shape cap at the end (?). I don't have screw caps. Question; If the length of those pipes are modified, this could affect the "venturi effect" or is only related to the flow pressure? Thanks

Spishex, The valve in yellow circle is a Large Jandy Check Valve going to the spa return. I belive that this valve prevent the spa to loose water when the pump is not working. lborne, The pressure reading when in normal mode is less (between 5 and 7) that the pressure in spa only mode. In...

Thanks everybody for trying to help me. I included 3 photos of my pool pump system. First one (pool picture 001) is the overall system. The second one (pool picture) is the section going from the pool to the pump and the third one (pool picture 005) is the section coming from the solar heater...

lborne At first I had no nozzles, but were getting good flow and bubbles (that was before I installed the solar heater). After the solar heater installation, the next time I tried to use only the spa, the flow slowed down and no bubbles. The solar company went to my house and according to them...

Thanks Iborne, The solar heater was the first thing I checked. I called the heater company and they charged me $80 dollar to tell me in 10 min that it is nothing wrong with the heater. (the solar heater system was 4 months old when that happen) I will send photos of my equipment tomorrow. At...

polyvue & waste, Thanks for your help, I really appreciate. I bought my house with the pool almost one year ago, so I am new in these stuff please be patient with me. Pool approximate gallons; 12,116, Filter size: 150 sqft (cartridge), Pump size 1.5 hp (Pentair), No. of jets (spa) = 4, No. of...

When I redirect the pump to and from the spa only, leaving the pool out of the loop, the jets will not blow with much force, and will not aerate(bubles). (They use to0 Should be a problem of all valves not turned properly. or a defective valve. Thanks
