Yep, the R172288 is a Pentair check valve, is what they installed with the new heater. I did not see Pentair on the label and R172288 is not listed on the Pentair site, but it is in the installation manual. I should have known, as Pentair does use parts from other manufacturers, putting their...

Found this in my MasterTemp manual, page 14.

I was told by service they would install a check valve. I had one I thought, the clear view as pictured, and also the 3 way Jandy with intellivale. This is what they installed. I called and asked for the Pentair part number and this 172288, didn't mention that it was not Pentair. Upon further...

This was the set up, they reinstalled the 3way and control, just switched out the clear view one with a new part.

Anybody? I am scouring the forum but cannot find it. I had it installed as I only use the heater at the beginning and end of the season. No reason for water to continually flow thru the heater when not in use.

I can't find my receipt for the part number of the valve pictured. I had this installed based on recommendations on this site, when I added a salt cell chlorinator. Recently, my ancient MiniMax died and it was replaced with MasterTemp 440K Ng heater. There was also an Intellivalve installed...

Good point on the pressure gauge, what about the sight glass on the sand filter, I read remove that also somewhere on the forum? Prices went up so high, expensive pieces became outrageous and then the install was hiked some more. Feel like I need to baby everything. Christine

I am new to this area, formerly Houston, and am worried about freezing. They do get freezing temps, snow and ice, how much depends on the year. I am closing the pool. Judging from the water chemistry advice I'm getting here about opening and closing and the lack of understanding when they...

I am having a company close the pool in 48 hrs. . Really they are here to do the cover, lower the water level, blow out the lines, etc. I am doing the chemicals, Slam, ph in 7's, all others in line with pool math. Following all the advice here on the forum as former pool in Houston never...

I saved the picture of timer and plug in the box for my electrician.

Ack, I didn't know I could do this. Thanks for sharing this. Already filled the new spa and closing pool shortly but will try that when pool opens up again and need to drain, purge, and refill. Love getting tips!

Could this please be added to a sticky or is it already? I just stumbled upon it in this post and I have been looking for instructions everywhere. Christine

Got it thanks for the advice. I want it to be safe for sure.

thank you for the clarification. The bullfrog does require 50 amp, but I read here to go with 60 amps main for the tub, so that is what I have spec'd. I am not quite following the rest. So I need another 50 amp gfci, is that at the panel or outside, and a 20 amps 120 v gfci for the dedicated...

That is a smart way to outfox the cell and get what your tub needs. Thanks for the visual.

Thanks for the information.

So electricians are running 60 amp from the house panels that are in attic at the other end of the house. So for the 20 amp gfci protected circuit does that go on the main panel and more wire is run to the location. I really do not want to have an extension cord for the salt cell. The...

"There is less of a roller coaster with a swg because it’s giving you a little fc around the clock if it is built in or at designated intervals if on a timer like mine." I ordered the Salton Mini based on your and others use. It arrives Monday. Is the timer built in or something you added...

The electricians are coming in 2 days to run wire from a dedicated circuit to the new hot tub. I am also installing a Salton Mini SWG. Since this is all new wiring run through the attic to the other side of the house I am thinking of what other electrical I need. Per the dealer's suggestion...

Updates and questions. The recommended hi-temp pump unions were installed and I have operation of everything from my phone, I think. Question, the installer set the SWG at 50%, to my already chlorinated pool, CL about 8, it was very hot and sunny. I tested in 48 hours, and pool Cl was 17...

Good points. My last cell, Hayward in previous inherited pool, was horizontal, and worked fine, at least I thought it did. Will keep an eye on it. Also, will discuss with installer.

I was wondering about that. do you have a suggestion how it should be. Could it come straight back from the heater bypass to SWG and then it would need 1 or 2 90s to get to the returns.

Any suggestion on location of the High Power Wireless Link Kit. I think there is an outside and inside piece. I did read the instruction manual but it's way over my head.

Thanks for the information. I just went out to see what you indicated. It's nice to have so much shared here at TFP.

thanks, learning so much!

And one more question, what is High Power Wireless Link Kit? I guess it goes with the IntelliCenter?
