Hi, So I have been in the middle of a pool renovation for a few months but we are at the ending stretch. The pool equipment was all moved inside previously, to inside in a different spot again. The GC is going to assist the plumber for the venting of the Raypak 406a heater (i had it before...

Thanks for the photo - just curious the water spigot on the top of your pump - is that to help prime the pump? I thought about adding something similar to my multiport.

Thanks this looks to be very helpful info. So – how about this combo: Hose bib to ¾ NC low voltage solenoid - https://www.amazon.com/Motorized-Standard-Normally-U-S-Solid/dp/B0CCNCL19Z to ¾ backflow preventor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KI0WORE to ¾ PVC check valve...

Thanks - that is really helpful. Could / should i use that instead of a check valve? https://www.amazon.com/Zurn-1-720A-Wilkins-Pressure-Assembly/dp/B00KI0WORE 1. Hose bib (water supply) to 2. Back Flow preventer valve to 3.Orbit or Solenoid to PVC (Amazon.com or Amazon.com to 4. KEEP? -...

Hi, I have a leak in my pool which was built without an autofill. I have been using a hose and a 'toilet' style top off mechanism for the last decade. We did some work on our pool this winter and hopefully i have less leaking. The pool sits in the sun all day so evaporation is an issue. I...

Thank you - I was thinking along the same lines. I installed the Jandy originally and it was a good learning experience but as i get older - I am OK with not getting as involved. Plus i think the salt conversion would be great. I guess its an easy answer on that one. I will ask another...

Hi, I am redoing my pool house & am possibly moving my pool equipment which is currently located inside. For automation I have a 10+ year old Jandy IQ904 (Jandy IQ904-P AquaLink RS Control Sys Price Includes Free Installation, Delivery & Tax* - Better Buy Pool Supply) system for automation...

Hi, I have a Polaris 280 that is ready to be replaced after 10 years - overall was happy, lots of repairs over the years. I have a few choices: 1. Get another Polaris 280 2. Upgrade to Polaris 380 3. Upgrade to Polaris 3900 Im looking to unbox the new one, plug it into the booster pump...

Thank you! I guess it must be chemical on my buddies end.

Hi - So my filter is a FNS Plus DE and my filter is a Pentair 261152. Sorry I think I mistyped. My friend has a Pentair Triton 2 sand filter and a Pentair 261055 multiport. He said his pool was semi-clear but the bottom was so cloudy he couldn't see the bottom. His multiport was put on a...

Hi - it is a triton 2 sand filter

Hi, I have a Pentair multiport 261055 which I am using for DE. A friend of mine had the same multiport installed for his setup. He has a Triton sand filter. Our plumbing is the same but his seems to have a cloudy pool (just opened it)...

Thanks - I just realized I had that check valve backwards. Would it be better to plumb it into the PVC pipe going into the floor after the pump?

Hi, I have a slow leak in my pool and for years have used an external autofiller. Hose draped across the pool deck, kids always messing with it, etc. I 'guess' I could drill out part of the pool shell, crack the decking (30+ years old) and retrofit something but I am concerned I will never...

Hi - Thanks for the help! We want to swap from the current timer clock power style to the intelicenter. Rewiring makes sense to me. Is there a pool only kit with Power?

Perfect - so the 5PS will do it all or do I need to add anything else? Appreciate the help!

A quick google shows: https://www.poolcleaningparts.com/pentair-intellicenter.html Is the difference between these two - one can do 5 relays, one can do 8? 521904 - Pentair IntelliCenter System i8PS, Wireless Kit, Common Load Center (no Salt) -- Model Code: 8PS 521907 - Pentair IntelliCenter...

Hi, My brother had a pool put in last summer and skipped on the automation portion. He has a Pentair Inteliflo VSF (011056), a Pentair LA-MAS05 pool cleaning booster pump, Raypak heater, and a Pentair IC40 salt generator. I have a Jandy Aqualink RS4 (from 2014) for my place & am still very...

I called Stenner also & they did not have any suggestions :(

Hi - I have not tried anything yet but would love to have the extra capacity. Also not sure what happens if one side does manage to get empty?

Can this be done with suction instead of gravity? I would hate to cut a hole in the container if I dont have to.

Hrmm- any suggestions on a T? I can give it a shot.

Could I use a "t" adapter and it would pull from both until both are empty?

Hi, I have one small tank with my LC and am using a stenner. Is it possible to daisy chain to a second tank filled with LC? Only using one pump? Thanks, Rich

So I was quoted either: New guy - I get the heater & 600 for labor or $3500 for a 336 raypak from this installer. My friend has a new in the box Raypak 406 I think he paid $2200 or so. I think that could be done for $3000ish installed? The vent might not line up - but i was told the 336...
