In Maryland, pools are regulated by county. In my county (Howard), the very last regulation says: 3109.5 ENTRAPMENT AVOIDANCE. Suction outlets shall be designed and installed in accordance with ANSI/APSP-7. ANSI/APSP-7 (2020) - ANSI/PHTA/ICC-7 2020 American National Standard for Suction...

My pool service company. They said they won't even give me a quote for a closing until I have one installed. Other companies have said something similar without specifying the MV Fuse. I talked to Paramount who said installing one will make the pool compliant. But this is the subject for a...

I've seen this question asked before but not about this pump and no definitive answer. I was wondering if this pump loses prime, will it eventually shut off to prevent damage. The manual says this under Priming Features - Loss Of Prime : Default: Enabled This feature allows the pump to...

Thank you! Frank

I had some in-deck equipment replaced and I will also need to replace the surrounding strips. See photos. Thanks, Frank

Just saw this thread. As you have already found out, you have a Paramount in-Deck Debris Canister. Keep you fingers crossed! I too have a Maryland Pool with this setup. Unfortunately, the canister is cracked at the bottom, which can be patched, and the equalizer line is cracked not far from...

Hey, Thanks! That's a lot more info than I got from Pentair Customer Service. I had searched the manual and the web for the error code instead of the message.

I called Pentair. They said there was no more info on the error - that there was a problem with the Drive. Since the pump seems to be operating normally, they said a warranty call would not be helpful. I guess I have to wait until it actually breaks down :confused:

This error appears in my log from several weeks ago. I can't find any info on it. Does anyone know what it means? Also it's a bit strange that there are no error codes after that. I have a pressure limit set and I usually get one or two entries per day that it hit the limit, but nothing since...

I have a 2 year old INTELLIFLO 2 VARIABLE SPEED PUMP TRADE SERIES pump that is making a strange noise. Any idea what it could be? Video here: Pump Noise

So....I just got a 2022 model in exchange for the 2021 which had the same problem that GVC had with needing to reset. The new model worked fine for 15 minutes, then it started spinning in place for another 15 minutes then it died. Both LEDs are flashing green about once per second. Here's what...

Thanks. I ordered the Infusion product suggested by @Rancho Cost-a-Lotta

Ok, thanks.

Do you have these? I can't find what "self-aligning" means. Does that mean you can put them in, say upside down and they will automatically turn themselves to point down?

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Yes, it was built by the previous owners around 1998. Here's a pic of the pipe in the wall and a fitting I removed. I don't know why there's electrical tape on the fitting. It must be something the pool company did during opening or closing. And here is a link to what I want to install...

I want to install Paramount Swing Jet downjets. They have a 1 1/2" threaded fitting. My pool only has 1 1/2" stubs so the current returns are slip fittings. Is there any way to convert the 1 1/2" stubs to 1 1/2" threaded?

Just got one of these myself. I wondering though, how the heck do I get it to the side of the pool to turn it off. I'm guessing a pole but since it's constantly running it might be real tricky to keep it close long enough to turn it off. Any tips?

Thank you. I hesitated to post here knowing I’d get this type of reply. I appreciate your advice but I’ve been using pucks and shock for 20 years without problems. I just got lazy in my old age and thought a chlorinator sounded like a good idea. rank

This spring my pool service company installed a PerfomMax 940. I had understood the technician to say that he recommended this brand because, in this system, water entered from the bottom and did not submerse the tabs all at once and that the dial would control the water level in the canister...

Was wondering if you ever found the problem.

I just found this post and have some info and maybe a temporary fix. If you don't want to read to the end, I can tell you believe I have a leak in the fittings between the canister and the main drain which may be able to be sealed from the inside with pool putty. I have a Paramount debris...

Thanks. Yes, there is an equalizer line. There has always been several inches of water above the lid so I'm certain no air was getting in that way. Frank
