Yes, the pool water level is above the return plumbing. Thanks for the tip.

Reporting back that they are the same length.

Opening the air relief valve did not help. Water continuously pours from the pipe.

Just the one filter. The unit on the right is a heater. I'll try that. Thanks.

I'm going to be replacing my SWG soon. When I removed the cell to clean it in the past I haven't been able to stop water from flowing out of the pipe. I end up flooding a good portion of my yard. I've tried closing the valves for the skimmers and drains but no go. I figured there has to be some...

No, round with round.

Has anyone here ever replaced a Jandy APURE1400 with the PLC1400? If so are they both the same length? I put the PLC1400 next to the APURE and the PLC looks a bit longer. I'm just trying to figure out if I'll need to be cutting some pipe. Thanks.

It only comes out of the waterfall or the spigot if I fill the pump basket with water before turning it on. Once that water is gone, there is no more water coming out anywhere. I will try the hose suggestion tomorrow. Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestion but it appears as if there is no skimmer basket connected to the main drain. The two skimmers run off of the filter pump. The main drain has its own pump that does not appear to be connected to the other lines. Could I try the same thing by opening the lid to the...

Thanks for all the help so far. I did not have this pool installed. I bought the house with the pool so I'm not able to explain the reasoning behind the plumbing decisions. Referencing the picture, the valve on the far left of the picture will open/close the main drain. You can then see the...

You are correct. One supply from the main drain and one return to the waterfall.

http://i.imgur.com/bDm1oy3.jpg The pump in question is on the far left of the picture. To clarify, water only shoots out of the spigot if I fill the pump with water prior to turning it on. Once the pump is turned on, there is no water coming from the main drain side.

I have two pumps that control my pool. The first pump is for the filter/skimmers/returns and the other pump (Dura Glas Sta Rite) is for the main drain and a waterfall feature. Water gets sucked from the main drain and comes out the waterfall. The main drain pump stopped working at the end of...

It appears I have a leak in my inground pool. When the filter pump is on, water starts bubbling up from the ground. It appears to be coming from underneath the concrete deck. I'm losing a couple inches a day. I have a repair person coming on Monday. What can I expect? If the leak is coming...

I'm having tile replaced on my pool. The contractor wants to drain the entire pool (35K gallons) to do the job. Having never done this before, I'm having concerns with the amount of water being drained at one time. Draining into the street storm drain is not an option. I have a small storm drain...

I have a pool/spa combo. When the Aqualink RS system is in Auto mode, everything works OK. The program switches from pool mode to spa mode correctly. When I need to put the system in Service mode (to fill/drain the spa) and switch to Spa Fill or Spa Drain, the valve that controls the return...

Active Ingredient: Calcium Chloride

I just bought a bucket of Target Pool Supplies brand Calcium Hardness Increaser. The label says, "For use with Baquacil chlorine and bromine based sanitizers. For use with residential commercial pools." Can I use this with my SWG chlorine pool? I didn't notice this label prior to purchase. My...

That's good to know. Can you explain how to set the different percentages? I didn't see it in the manuals.

I have a Jandy Aquapure SWG along with Aqualink RS One Touch controller. I'm finding that when I dial in the chlorine production to be appropriate for the pool, the chlorine in the spa is way too high. Is there a way to for the chlorine production to be different values when I'm in pool mode...

So if I'm understanding you correctly, the main drain does not go to the filter. The only function of the main drain is to provide water for the waterfall. If so, this is going to be a major hassle to clean up since the only vacuum I have is the Polaris 280 which works in a totally random path...

I'm looking for some help with a problem I'm having. FYI, we did not install the pool. We bought our house last year and it was already here. I'm learning on the fly. The pool has been opened for a week. Ever since then, I noticed DE has been returning to the pool. After doing a search, I saw...

Thanks for the response. I am at work now but I will post the full test results later today. How do I know the percentage of chlorine in liquid bleach? I used the pool calculator and I'm looking at almost thirteen hundred ounces of 5% bleach! Am I correct in assuming that the FC level will...

Hello, I would like to get some assistance in getting my pool chemistry up to snuff. I have a 35K gallon SWG plaster pool. I went on vacation for two weeks and had the local pool store maintain the numbers. When we got back, I used the cheapo test strips and found that the FC wasn’t even...

Thank you very much! The problem has been fixed. When I was working on the filter pump yesterday, I left the valve actuator switch in the OFF position instead of switching it back. When Spa Mode was activated, the valve couldn't move resulting in no suction at the skimmer. Now to learn how to...

I have uploaded some images of my setup. Not sure how it is usually done, but here are the links. http://imgur.com/FfFVa shows the valves. From left to right they are labeled: Pool Main Drain Water Feature Spa Main Drain Skimmer (most likely for the spa) Skimmer (most likely pool #1)...

Hi, New pool owner here trying to find some help with pool problems. The other day I noticed that the pressure gauge on the DE filter was zero. Other than that everything seemed to be working fine. Had good suction on the skimmers and good pressure on the returns. I removed the filter basket...
