I emailed Paramount and this was their response, which doesn't help me.

We purchased a house that had a Paramount PCC2000 in-floor cleaning system that was built ~1996-ish. We had the pool re-plastered a few years ago, and the pool company removed the main drain cover and replaced it with a standard Hayward style safety-compliant cover (like the one seen here)...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure what type of material they used. I'll just do like you mentioned and make sure I get warranty information and express my concerns. Happy summer pooling!

We had some renovations done to our pool 3 weeks ago and I'm already starting to feel a little uneasy about it. A lot of our coping stones were loose, so they were pulled up, cleaned out underneath, then reset. I'm noticing the grout between the stones is already cracking a bit. Nothing BIG, but...

Awesome, thanks! Can't argue with a simple startup!

We have a Pentair Intelliflo VSF - 011056 pool pump that we used last year for the first time. We took it off at the end of the season and are about to open up again for the year. What kind (if any) maintenance should I be doing on the pump? It was working fine at the end of the year. Should I...

Thanks for your replies. We started using the BioGuard chemicals because the pool company we used to use supplied them. No other reason really. I wouldn't mind going cheaper if I can get the same outcome, so I definitely appreciate the advice. I'll take a look for liquid chlorine and cyanuric...

We are having our in-ground pool re-plastered at the beginning of June and managing the startup ourselves. I've been reading the info provided by our contractor, as well as other info online (including the guide on TFP) and just needed some additional clarification. Our pool is traditionally...

I still consider myself very much a pool newbie, so hopefully I'm not missing something super obvious here... I converted our pool this year to saltwater when we first opened it. Took me awhile to dial everything in, but the water has been crystal clear for months now. The main problem: my...

guinness for the win! I could’ve sworn the instructions said to NOT use the POE port on the back of the wireless client. Switched it and it fired right up! Thank you!!! Now to extend these Intellivalves....

I've been surfing around the threads for some help with a couple of IntelliCenter installation questions. I'm not finding much, I suppose since they're still fairly new. Please go gentle on me. I'm not electric expert and I've seen some other people's questions on this not go over well... -...

Valid. Thank you for your suggestion. There are only so many options before I fill it in with dirt, haha.

I guess that makes good sense. I'll give that a whirl. But when I've set the pump to the max RPM (3,450 rpm), the flow/pressure has still been low. Almost like there's a clog somewhere.

It's a variable speed and variable flow pump. I've been setting the desired RPMs and letting it do it's thing from there. When I check on it I'm seeing both the pressure and flow rates go down. Is there a different setting I should be using?

Opening our pool for the first time myself really isn't going well. It seems like something is off, and the local pool company that is familiar with our pool just told me they wouldn't be able to come out until mid-June. The system will appear to be up and running well, then I walk away and...

You, sir, are my new best friend. If we have a 6-port module with 10 floor jets and 4 wall returns, is there some rhyme or reason to this madness? We're a single pump system. We have one main floor drain connected to (I believe) a debris in-deck canister, and then we have a skimmer. Those two...

I believe the pressure is supposed to remain the same with each zone. Looking at some pictures of the pool from last year with clear water, there are 10 floor jets and 4 wall/down jets. If my math is correct, I'm confused. I believe some rotate while others are fixed. I did the most useful...

I was thinking the same thing. It doesn't make sense to me... I was hoping I'd get away with my excellent pool terminology. Dang. I looked it up, it's just the threaded return down jet. So instead of the return on the wall blowing down, it's just blowing straight out like in the pic.

For those that haven't read my previous posts asking for help, this is my second year of pool ownership and my first year of managing it myself. It's not going HORRRRRIBLE, but I wouldn't give myself a good grade yet. We have a Paramount in-floor cleaning system (that I actually do like) that...
