Hi James Thanks for weighing in. Wasn't sure by what you meant by show the whole system. I've posted a bunch of screenshots up there with descriptions, but here's a four minute video that goes over pretty much everything and gives you an overview of the returns. The layout, the skimmer, the...

Sorry, I didn't see this when I posted below. Here's a picture of the skimmer. The pool is only three years old. The return lines are 1 inch PVC, which I don't think is up to code or sufficient. They don't provide much circulation. The intake vacuum port appears to be an inch and a half with the...

My returns are only 1 inch PVC. I have three of them. Like I said the first one works OK the second one fair and the third ones pretty useless so I don't think I'm getting circulation through my returns I think I'm gonna rely upon a suction vacuum? And the vacuum port seems to be one and a half...

I'm having a problem finding a vacuum I've looked at the 4 wheel Hayward (expensive to repair )and the Polaris - they all seem to have issues with getting out of the deep end and getting hung up and flipping on their side. What if I just get one of the robots I can drop in run and then pull out...

Hi, My Pentair Rebel gets stuck on the 2 drains, and stays in the deep end. I'd like to retire it after 3 years. To make it move (slowly) at 2400 RPM I have to move the lever all the over to the left which cuts off the skimmer. Having the lever set so both function has never worked. So I run...

Ok Will do. I currently just use the basic tailor kit for pH and chlorine and then I go to Leslies every week or two and get a complete test but ultimately I guess I’ll go for the complete kit everyone seems to use here. I just took a swim and I can taste the salt. It was just put in around six...

Hi All I'm a newbie pool owner, but hanging in there after a year of taking care of things myself. I use a basic Taylor kit and go to Leslie's every couple of weeks for a complete check. I have a separate hot tub. I still haven't cleaned my filter, that's on the to do list, and I'm just now...

Hi I've Googled this and read the manual and still have a question on chlorine. I understand on paper how to adjust flow and check salt levels using the Pentair Intellichlor Chlorine generator, but I can't find in the manual or on YouTube how to check and control the chlorine level. First...

Yes, the base is at a pitch, and the filter is on there - The pipes below are at the same pitch. They say it's because of the rain and soft soil. And of course the tried and true excuse everyone uses around here - expansive soil. But I doubt that. I've made my peace with most of it and tried to...

Yeah, the subs were sloppy, pebbletec, plumbing, and even the coping. Don't get me started on the hardscape by another contractor. But he swears the base was level. Yet the plumbers he stands behind installed my skimmer at an angle, and when I brought it up the old man yelled at me about how no...

No, but he called and warned me about trying to level it - Apparently it's foam inside with wire and concrete framing...Cheap.

Hi All I had a number of issues getting this pool built. Uneven pebbletec due to bad acid wash, a slanted skimmer, etc. But I noticed recently the pump leaning towards the South. I thought it was erosion, but when I tried to raise that side up, it was difficult - turns out the base is styrofoam...
