Hey guys, I have an in-ground liner pool, wooden walls (Dont ask, thats just how they build them around here), cantilever concrete coping with the integrated liner track, built a few years ago. The bottom portion of the liner track has failed in a few spots. looks like the bonding may not be...

Ok, found out the root cause... maybe.... PoolBuilder did not run a conduit to the junction box for the Bubbler, he ran the Bubbler conduit straight to the pool pad and into the 12VAC Transformer (See Photo). My pool pad is about 6 inches below water level, which would put the transformer...

Update: Just confirmed its the bubbler, when I shut off the flow to the Bubbler, water stops coming out the transformer...

This is a weird one... I have water coming out of the transformer box from / to the pool lights when running the pump on full speed... We have 3 lights, 2 pentair led and one off-brand bubbler, all three go to the same "J" box, then one conduit from there to the transformer box.. when running...

I dont see any "red lines" Also, ... is there a concrete collar locking the pool walls in? if so, that gonna be pretty tough to move walls... As far as cutting and re-welding the walls, Might be possible, seems like alot of work for a small problem...then you have to redo all the coping and...

Give the buyers the receipts showing that you just had the pump rebuilt.

Happened again this morning, moved the Multiport to recirculate, and the flow returned. So the filter is dirty, Is it normal to have to backwash a 26" sand filter every few days? Last pool I had i only backwashed about twice a month.... Could there be something stuck in the multiport valve...

Crystal clear water. Pool pad is about 1.5 feet below water level, so they poured a 12" thick slab to raise it up some..... I'll try moving the multiport to recirculation in a few hours after the low flow problem arises again.

Filter>SWCG>Returns (2 different return lines, one bubbler) Can i move the Multiport to recirculate when the pump is running? otherwise if i turn off the pump to move the multiport, it will start back up fine. This usually happens after about 5 hours of running normally..

I have back washed about 6 times since the pool was installed (Usually about every 2 weeks), But I Back washed yesterday, and had the low flow issues this morning.... The sand filter they put on this pool is pretty big i thought... 26" 350lbs of sand.. Pentair Model#145386

Hey guys, had this pool for about 4 months now, and every few days, I get "Low Flow" on my SWCG IC60, and hardly any water is coming out the returns. This happens after about 5 hours running at 1700RPM. Filter pressure stays the same when this happens (About 6 PSI @1700RPM). Pump is still...

That looks like a standard particulate filter you would have on a potable water system. I have one going to my fridge..... only maintenance is replace it every few years EDIT: FOUND IT: 20-BB 3/4 in Whole House Water Filter System...

as far as the OCLT... its been at 9 FC for 3 days now..... did start at 10 about 30 minutes after the first liquid chlorine was added....

Aight cool. so my FC should last a while in the cold water? How often should I expect too add bleach during the winter till the SWG kicks in? What about Pump Run time? i assume this is pretty subjective. Pentair Intelleflow VS. Right now its set to run 24/7 at 1400RPM, and two hours each...

First TF-100 test after pool builder "balanced" the chemicals and handed everything off to me. Where should I go from here? FC - 9.0 CC - 0.0 PH - 7.5 TA - 80 CH - 100 CYA - 45 temp - 46* salt - 2900 For reference here is my fill water test before I filled the pool: FC - 1.5 CC - 0 PH -...

DONE! Just needs grass

Just went through this myself. We moved just our field lines and hit all three of the old lines when they dug the pool. The only way you could tell that they hit the old lines were the little bits and pieces of plastic pipe

Pool floor is in, decking formed

This is happening today: Deck is removed, and pool dig has begun!!!! TF-100 test kit ordered this morning!! Side note, weather for the next few days will be below freezing (18 at night, 34 or so during the day) Any issues with them doing the vermiculite / poolcrete bottom and footings while...

I assume there is a hole at the top of the water line, when the water line goes below the hole, water stops draining.... I would treat it like a french drain and dissipate into the ground, or use a pop-up drain at the edge of your property
