There is, but going to be costly and I have river rock in my yard around pool. Would be a mess.

Thanks, Jim. Much appreciated! Will follow-up w/everyone once complete.

Indeed. Glad to have the wealth of knowledge from everyone. As I learn more, I’ll share my experiences as well, to include feedback on how this project turns out.

Thank you for sharing your expertise, mas985 an Jim! At this point, I can’t dig up my yard and lay new pvc. From what it sounds like, I’ll try adding the 2 ball valves ant each end of the lower SD’s and if those don’t work, lower the middle SD. Outside the Lowes’ and Home Depot ball valves...

Thank you, Jim. Last question and I’ll leave you alone: can I place those Jandy 2-way valves at the end of the each lower sheer inside the wall instead of the traditional ball valve? Just making sure I can use those inside the wall. Once set, hopefully I won’t have to break in the wall again...

Thanks, Jim. I appreciate the advice. I don’t mind lowering it. Before I do that, the ball valve picture I posted, is that what you’re referring to? If so, install one on each of the lower sides, just before reaching the sheens inside the wall? Sorry, this has been driving me bananas. I do like...

Is this the type of ball valve we could place just before each lower sheen to help drive pressure to middle sheen? Just close it slightly on each side?

Thank you both. I’ll update my signature block, so thanks for the feedback. So, this was a remodel to a year-old pool where I added a wall with three waterfalls, as I mentioned. While the initial pool was being built last year, I had one single pvc pipe pre-plumbed to add a water feature at...

Jim, I see your location is Bedford. I’m in Keller, just down the road from you. I’m having an issue getting pressure to a newly built water sheen. I had three sheens installed in a new wall. The two sheens at either end work just fine, even at low RPM in a 3HP Intelliflow3. The middle sheen is...

Thank you. I did play with the stop limits. I’m wondering if a complete re-plumb would work, like tying in my “future waterfall” line into my “water fountain” line since it seems to have the best pressure? Im out of ideas since I already have a 3HP and all the fountains are strong except for the...

I stand corrected. I have the 3HP intelliflow. Still at 3450 RPM, can’t get enough flow to get the highest sheen to be as powerful as the others. My mason did adjust the plumbing to remove some 90’s, and it now works, but I have to close the return to get that sheen to start flowing, albeit not...

I have two main drains in the bottom of pool. Is that what you’re referring to? I really need to get the current plumbing redone because I don’t like how the main waterfall and the bubblers are on same line.

Thank you. Would it be possible to add another pump for the water features, or just get a bigger pump altogether? My mason guy is here today making sure there isn’t a blockage in the middle sheen somewhere, as the pressure is very good for all the other water features running, even the farthest...

The attached photo is enough to make your head swim (pun intended), but I’m having trouble understanding how my main drain and return valve handles should be set. I recently had 3 waterfalls built in a new wall, so I have 4 total now instead of the 1 when it was built. I have a 1 1/2hp Pentair...

Thank you. Yup, well, dust from leuders stone being sanded down and smoothened out. Put test strip in (will go with Taylor kit once I get the hang of these cheaper strips first). I turned pump down to 1500 since you’re saying it likely wouldn’t help. I’m guessing would need to run 24/7 until...

Good evening! I’ve been a happy pool owner for about a month now. Been a series of up and downs as far as learning the equipment when something happens, but otherwise good. I had my coping sanded and polished today, and I now have a pool full of dust from the polishing. Water is murky and can’t...

Thanks, JR. I finally remembered I had a main breaker in the garage apart from the sub panel and breaker on the EasyTouch. I reset the breaker and the pumps came back online. Then, the EasyTouch has no display. Flipped breaker off for several minutes, turned back on and all working just fine...

Experienced a brief power outage, really a flicker. Noticed schedule was showing running on my app, but pool equipment wasn’t. Checked pump. The “connect”, “on/stop”, and “quick clean” buttons are all three steadily flashing blue/purple together. How do I reset this pump to get it back online...

Yes, I’m working on the warranty part. That’s a huge investment and not something I’m willing to walk away from. Issue is when I terminate them, how do I get the warranty enforced? Believe me, they want all the money but yet have no responsibilities.

I would also add, while going through the conversation, that I was told point blank (and I quote) “communication is not in the contract.” This was my biggest complaint that set this in motion. Guess it reflects on their true motive: you’d rhe want they want and collect their money.
