    Air in cartridge filter tank

    I recently installed an IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump #011018 and new SWG. Have noticed that the filter drains over night and I have to bleed it upon startup.

    Want to upgrade solar controller

    I recently installed an IntelliFlo 3 HP Variable Speed Pump #011018. My solar array is controlled by an old Compool Lx220 Solar Control Sys. I'm considering replacing the old controller with a new SOLARTOUCH 521590 Control Unit. Will this controller properly operate the existing valve actuator?

    Need operating advice - new VS pump

    My system has a Jandy check valve [now about 12 yrs old]. Is the purpose of this valve to keep water in the filter chamber? Will the spring loaded flapper of this check valve do that once circulation has stopped? The filter is at highest elevation of all pool equipment.

    Need operating advice - new VS pump

    After getting your comment I took a look - it seems the only way for this to happen is a leaking check valve. Its a Jandy valve, been in service 12yrs. Before I replace it, should I look for some other possible point of leakage? If so - where? On a related note - you mention you operate your...
