I looked up the Drain King, pretty cool. 8-) Sure looks easier than rigging up some sort of fitting to connect my hose to the jet, but I'll still need to come up with caps for the other three jets.

Thanks for the replies guys. The low pressure is the same at all 4 of the spa jets. I call them jets. but they're really just openings with a collar. They look similar to pool returns without the directional eyeballs in place. With a 2hp pump the spa jets used to be VERY powerful and now the...

I have a problem with flow to my spa jets that seems like an obstruction. Normal water flow to my pool and spa returns is fine, but when in spa mode (suction side valve turned to spa return and pressure side return valve turned to the spa jets) my filter pressure goes way up and I'm getting...

Foodog, It's hard to imagine that your FC is 0 with all the chlorine you've added. I don't use the dip strips, but folks have said that they'll bleach out in excessively high chlorine levels. I'd try to get a more reliable test. Maybe you could try putting a few drops of pool water on a...

Thanks Steve, excellent info. :-D . Now to bring that CYA level down from having used all those pucks :hammer: .

I don't believe the 100 CYA is the reason you're seeing a 0 FC level. Unfortunately my CYA is over 100 right now, but I have no problem maintaining a proper FC level. Yes, I'd be looking at other reasons (algae?) if you're FC keeps dropping to 0. TIger85

It was a little tricky for me too at first. In the upper picture the spa jets are off and the spa return has only a small amount of water going to it (close to off), which sends most of the return water to the waterfall and pool returns, with the pool returns getting slightly more water than...

I took the 1.45 lbs as being for the T-cell 15 (up to 40K), and so I estimated the T-cell 9 (up to 25K) at .9 lbs.

Thanks jagfan. That's good info. Do you know the rated chlorine output of the T-cell 9? I'm guessing that it is about .9lbs/day.

Here are some pictures of how I've labeled my valves. Sharpie used by builder wore off quick and so I bought some sheets of letters from the hardware store and they're worked great for about 8 years. Hope this helps. :-D

I'm anxious to convert to a SWG, but I want a high level of confidence that whatever one I settle on will be large enough without going overboard with a system way larger than I need. My 10K pool gets full sun and its HOT in Orlando right now, and getting 2+ inches of rain more than once a week...

The old gasket on the flapper didn't really look that bad. It wasn't very worn looking, just bleached out more than anything. I was concerned that replacing it might not fix the problem, but the new one worked like a charm. The original one lasted about 7 years.

My spa was doing the exact same thing for some time and I finally got around to replacing the flapper assembly on my Jandy check valve a week ago and it fixed the problem :whoot: You have to buy the cover and flapper assembly as a replacement part, which is kind of a waste, but it makes the...

Gene, I haven't experienced your specific problem, but I've re-lamped and replaced my light (another story) and if I recall there was a rubber grommet around the screw that held it in place in the light flange so that it would line up with the hole when putting the light back into the niche...

I'm looking to convert to a SWG and came across this new Pool Pilot Nano model listed for about $580 that seems like it would be a good fit for my 10,000 gallon pool. Anyone had experience with this model?

I just stumbled upon this site today and I'm sure that I'll visit frequently. I've been a pool owner for almost 10 years now, but I've still got plenty to learn. Hopefully I can also contribute with some advice based upon lessons I've learned the hard way. :-D
