Hi Jim, Thank you for the reply. Apologies for the confusion, I have two of these skimmers. One is functional, but one weir is broken off at the bottom of the skimmer's throat (in a pinched metal fatigued fashion). I included photos of the working skimmer for identification. I agree it does...

shamless saturday night bump ...anyone?

Greetings poolheads; cheers to you all. I've got Baker Hydro skimmers in an inground 25kgal. Heres the sales cutsheet. Mine have this funky weir fitted that seems to be OEM (Baker Hydro part number printed on the back) but I can't find any reference to these weirs anywhere. I actually...

It would and I could have done that. I know I've seen on youtube one common method is to put the FloVis in front of the pump. Although it isn't technically a check valve, it can act as one in that instance. I don't have any major issues priming in my setup, so wasn't so much concerned...

Oh yeah, one more point...I installed both the Jandy and the full-port ball valves as I'd like to have 'super' positive shutoff when winterizing. I wanted double protection, not just to rely on the plug inside the pump/jandy to seal. Maybe overkill, yes. If i decide I don't like, I can...

Hey all, Wanted to provide an update. I got the pump installed about a week ago and it's working pretty well. I did wind up bringing the two (2) 1-1/2" suction lines into a Jandy 3-way valve with a single (1) 2" output directly to the pump, as recommended. I moved the filter back slightly in...

Appreciate the responses. I'm not so much worried about it making a difference on the pressure gauge reading as I am trying to minimize the amount of energy it takes to circulate the water. At least what I can control anyway :) I read some more last night and it seems based on these PVC...

Oh yeah, one more question...how much resistance do unions add to flow? Are they negligible or significant? I've heard mixed opinions on youtube. Thanks :)

Hello I'm getting ready to install a Pentair Superflo VS pump and am considering how I'm going to re-do my equipment pad. Currently have a Pentair Challenger 1HP. (I followed the Hayward guide and used a vacuum gauge to measure my suction side vacuum for an accurate TDH). I've dealt with the...

mknauss Thank you for the welcome :) I was able to do multiple adds via the poolmath app and it seemed to work okay. However, I couldn't figure out how to add another set of new test results after my initial set so I gave up and used good ole pen and paper. But I use it every time I make an...

Hey all I've been lurking for a couple months now as we've inherited a pool with our new house. 25k gallon pebble tech plaster (2014) Tagelus TA60D sand filter (2008) Pentair Challenger main pump - 1HP Centurion motor Booster pump (unsure of brand) - 3/4 HP Centurion motor Pentair LL505G Kreepy...
