    No Flow

    Hi all, I just back washed and rinsed my filter due to a lot of rain the last couple of days. My pumo was flowing fine prior to backwash. No there is no flow going through the pump. The valve is back in the 'fillter' position. Any ideas what's going on?

    SWG connector broke

    Hi all, I was removing my SWG to clean it out and the pvc ring that connects it to the pipes snapped. Is this an easy fix or due to the lip on the pvc pipe is this a big project? I've attached some pictures of the broken one and the other side which is fine. Thanks

    "No Flow" light coming on

    Hi all, My No Flow light keeps coming on even those the pump is running and water is coming out of the return jets into the pool. Any clue why this is coming on? If I turn the pump off then back on it turns off, but turns back on shortly after.

    Taylor K2006 Test Kit

    Hey All, just got my test kit in. Pool is clear and looking pretty good right now. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow and rain the next 5 days. Should I go ahead and test the water and see what needs to be adjusted, or add some salt in everyday until the end of the week when the rain clears?
