Hello, wanted to post a long overdue update. Ended up having the PB’s Pentair guy come and get me all setup. We added an extra valve for the return. Ended up having to use one of those inside slip fittings since the 90 was flush with the concrete. Seems to be working, I don’t actuate the...

That wasn't supposed to be a sticky, not sure what happened there. Mods can you move this thread down?

I'm looking for some pictures and or info of a proper install, I'm not sure on how ours looks, two tiles are cracked and has goop on them. I'd like to get it repaired and wanted to see what some proper installs look like. I'm mainly interested in how they are attached.

One of the returns has a PVC 90* that is glued flush with the concrete. This complicates getting this fixed clean without a bunch of 90s. Any solutions I might not know about?

From SWG split it between both returns or another 3 way valve?

I donated and didn’t get the email, any chance I could get that resent

I’m going to try to get this re plumbed, how would you set it up with the 2nd 3 way valve? It looks like the solar return goes to 3 floor returns and the one with the SWCG goes to the side returns.

Thanks for the links and help! I was hoping I could buy just the flow indicator but it looks like they come in a set.

I like that idea. Where would be the best place to buy the flow vis? That seems like the best way to dial it in specifically. I can take overall, subtract how much it drops when it goes to the solar and know how much speed I need to add to keep the SWG happy.

How do I know if I have enough flow through the SWCG other than the low flow light going off. I believe the manual for it says it wants at least 30 GPM unless I'm mistaken. What is a good way to determine the RPM's required on the VS pump for the solar, and with out the solar. Lastly, I've been...

So I flipped the switch between ON1 and ON2 and as far as I can see it completely shuts off flow to the salt cell when it sends water to the solar. I'm just surprised that the pool water looks so great, knowing the system has been acting so wonky. You think adjusting the valve is a loser or...

Its as you say, the SWG works great when the solar is off. I feel like this isn't ideal for during the summer, because you would have to run the main pump 24/7 to get enough time on the SWG and heat the pool.

Here are some close up pictures of the valve area. The T right after the valve before it goes off to the right just has a cap on the bottom, presumably to deal with the weight of the pipes going up for the solar. The return from the solar comes out next to the booster pump in the right side of...

Cool thanks! Got it updated. I'll go out and get more specifics on it now.

Hello, Totally new to having a pool. We just bought a house with a relatively new pool ~2015. I noticed that the pump was coming on and going off quite often during the day, and the Salt Cell was randomly flashing low flow. Did some searching on here and youtube and found out someone had...
