    CIRCUPOOL Core SWCG Install

    On reflection I think the flow switch is designed for routine on/off functions. They ship it with a 3 pin plug on the end for 110 Volts and that would be always on.

    CIRCUPOOL Core SWCG Install

    Thanks for our help @Jimrahbe and @Texas Splash I followed the wires from the "F. Pump" connector and they did indeed go to the "Filter Pump Relay. So, Instead of connecting to 2 and 4 as shown in the photo above, I tried connecting the 2 wires to connectors 1 and 2 with the white on 1, black...

    CIRCUPOOL Core SWCG Install

    @Texas Splash which terminals should I use on the relay? I tried 1 and 2 and I tried 2 and 4 as shown in the picture and got no power to the unit.

    CIRCUPOOL Core SWCG Install

    I installed one of these over the weekend and currently have it plugged into a 110V outlet. I want to hardwire it and plan to connect it to the breaker at the top (filter pump) and the ground to the ground bar at the bottom....at least I assume it's the ground bar as there's only green wires...

    Leaky Valve - repair or replace

    Leaking Jandy Valve. Is this an easy fix or is it better to replace the entire valve? https://photos.app.goo.gl/hReyVJwcpEF3RWKx6

    Water Softener for Pool (salt vs no salt, etc)

    It does seem a lot better with only very mild build up, mainly near the spillover. Surface line of pool is very clean.

    Not sure about this. Will try and check next time.

    Clunking noise when heater running

    There's 10 and yes, water comes out every single one of them. You are 100% correct. I made an assumption it worked fine for the past 16 years. You are also correct in that I have had issues and I had completely forgotten about the 2nd one you linked to. That was resolved by setting the filter...

    Clunking noise when heater running

    No, nameplate shows it is from 2013 so I'm guessing it was replaced 8 years ago. I purchased the home almost 3.5 years ago. Here you go. I included a video of what happens when the Jet Pump turns on. All jets have increased flow when the Jet Pump is running...

    But....It has been working perfectly fine for 16 years.

    Clunking noise when heater running

    @JamesW thanks for the detailed reply. I've had no issues for 3 years so I shouldn't need to add any valve, should I? I did change the VSP speed settings some time ago to try and save some energy. I thought yesterday when all this was explained to me that the problem has probably existed for 6...

    Clunking noise when heater running

    @JamesW Both pumps do pull from the same Drains. Both pumps do return to the same jets in the tub. Arrows show flow to/from jet pump. Given that everything feeds the same jets I guess they connect somewhere underground. The filter shows 20 PSI when the Spa is on. The filter shows 30 PSI...

    Clunking noise when heater running

    The issue was only present while the JetPump was running. Heater worked fine otherwise. By separate line I meant that the water for the Jetpump comes from the tub and does not go through the filter nor does it go through the heater. I had the filter speed configured at 2250 rpm for "Spa Heat"...

    Clunking noise when heater running

    Pool tech came and visited and explained it all to me. There are no broken parts. The jet pump is 3HP and is on a dedicted 3" line which is large compared to the filtration circuit...I think he said 2" or 2.5". Anyway, if the heater turns on while the jets are running the heated water cannot...

    Gas Service for MasterTemp 400

    I added a pic of the meter and the only writing on anything is on the side of that. I don't see where it shows the output. This thing is under a bush so I might have missed something.

    Gas Service for MasterTemp 400

    I have a MasterTemp 250 that is around 8 years old. It's having issues and I'm thinking about replacing it with a MasterTemp 400. I understand that the 400 requires a 1.25 inch gas line and I think I have a 1" supply....please see pictures. The pipes at the meter are a larger diameter but the...

    Clunking noise when heater running

    My experience last time I had an LED on the board and tried to fix it myself was not the best. I've learned from that so I'm going to pay the $85 service fee and have them troubleshoot AND fix it.

    Clunking noise when heater running

    Replaced the filter today and no longer have the clunking noise. The heater fires and works correctly and gets to temperature. When temp is reached it shuts off as expected. When the jet pump is turned on the "Service Heater" light comes on and the heater fails to maintain temperature. The...

    Pentair CCP520 - Pool filter leak

    Thanks for the replies, I have a brand new replacement going in shortly. BTW, could this be the cause of the clunking noise I posted about earlier when the heater is running?

    Clunking noise when heater running

    Thanks PoolStored. The heater is a Mastertemp 250 and I have the manual but don't see those instructions. Can you please direct me to the instructions? Are these settings appropraite for the Spa?
