After spending a number of years in Southern California and having a pool in our backyard for the last 20 years we have realized that we miss the pool. We moved to the Atlanta area about 1 year ago. Anyway, it seems finding a builder in SoCal was quite easy with a fair amount of competition...

I am trying to find the sweet spot with my new vs pump in SoCal. I initially set the pump to run at 1000 rpm for 8hrs and 2400 rpm for 1hr for skimming. Doesn't seem too be enough circulation as I am fighting algae. Cost savings are dramatic though reducing my overall bill by 1/3. Any...

Thanks for the input. I will do some more testing over the next couple of days and I will provide feedback. Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 2

Looking for some help. Recently installed new equipment, all new plumbing, and new jandy valves at my equipment pad. For whatever reason, after I installed the intelliflow VS pump I have a suction side leak that I can't seem to locate. I get a lot of bubbles in my basket at all speeds and...

I had the same issue and used a couple 45s to give me more room. In the picture you can see where I needed top do this on two runs. [attachment=0:3fht57uf]uploadfromtaptalk1367784371627.jpg[/attachment:3fht57uf][attachment=0:3fht57uf]uploadfromtaptalk1367784371627.jpg[/attachment:3fht57uf]...

Ok, i have finished. It took me two full days due to the fact that my plumbing coming out of the concrete slab was way to close together. As a result i had to use a bunch of 45s to give me a little more room. I went ahead and left the two pvc to cpvc welds where i used pvc only solvent in...

Making progress. y pipes are wayto close together but i an getting there. Is it ok tho use Christ's red hot blue glue to join the pvc pipe to the jandy valves? Not sure if three jandy valves are just black pvc our something else. Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 2

OK, received my clean & clear 520 and the pentair vs pump to go with the Hayward h250 heater that i got off craigslist. Took everything out to start the replacement. Rather than break concrete i think i have just enough room to tie into the existing plumbing above the concrete slab. My...

[attachment=0:iyb0f3xk]Main Pump(1).jpg[/attachment:iyb0f3xk][attachment=1:iyb0f3xk]Spa Pump1.jpg[/attachment:iyb0f3xk]OK, here i go with a couple more questions. 1. Looks like I am leaning toward the Pentair VS Pump ($200 rebate in SoCal) and will use only for circulation which includes a...

Thanks Linen - Now you have me thinking again :? Linen or others - Not sure I am following here. I have the spa return tied in with my main pump so that when I want spa only (heater) I can switch both the incoming and return to spa so that it just circulates throughout the spa (sure this is...

Sorry for all the questions: Looking to purchase my equipment and associated valves. My question, should I try and replicate the setup that I have now as shown in the picture below with labels? The one thing I have noticed is that the flow at the skimmer is not great and I would love to be...

OK, now that I think I should break up the concrete around the service lines, any suggestions on how best to do it without damaging the service lines and the gas line? Obviously, I will rent a cement saw to get through the slap but I will need to break the concrete up and I am hoping I can take...

Great advice regarding the concrete around the plumbing. Not that i want to chip out concrete but i think you are right, i need get to the pvc under ground. If i get below ground i will probably have a little more flexibility with my layout anyway. Thanks for that nugget i was not thinking...

Thanks for the response. As it relates to the heater that it's what i was thinking. Just replace it. As it relates to the swapping spa pump with my current main pump. They are both 2inch lines. Not sure if there its a difference between horsepower and output but the size is the same. Any...

[attachment=2:27wm7yw1]Pool.jpg[/attachment:27wm7yw1]Hi all, been lurking for the last several months where I have learned a lot but it is time to make some decisions. Purchased a home with existing pool about 18 months ago. Pool and equipment were in less than ideal shape. Since the...
