Hello, so I have a 1/2 valve off my filter, with the PVC line running through my fence. When it rains this is how I drain my excess water, lately I've noticed when my pump is on the line is dripping with the valve closed....is it normal to drip a little? Or is this just the obvious leak by from...

Excuse the newbie question, so I have my filter pump set to run daily from 11pm-11am at 2300 rpm as we are seeing sub 40° temps, I have a attached spa with a spillover that works when the pump is on, my question is since the actual jets in the spa aren't on, just the pool jets and spa spillover...

I will definitely take a video of it and post it. The top piece is loose as well and doesn't latch down. I'm trying to find a way to attach the top securely as I'm sure that's rattling a little Just wanted to say thanks for everyones help, I managed to start doing a few maintenance items on my...

So I cleaned my filters and I'm hearing the noise at initial start up now instead of twenty minutes or so. Very confusing

Sta-rite system 3

Heater is roughly 10 years old, filters cleaned in march. Changing out the pressure gauge and cleaning them again this weekend if rain cools down

It happens after the heater has been running for about 20 minutes, it then cycles on and off prior to reaching temp I am waiting on a quote to replace bypass and thermal regulator. Any idea if these are hard to replace? Expensive to swap? Thanks

I do have calcium ring around spa, it's decently thick. My heater has an issue that sounds like rocks being tossed around inside the heater, it only lasts a few seconds at a time. Tech said it's scale built up and breaking off.

Here's the plumbing from and to the heater. Thanks again.

This is a spa connected to my pool. Ill check water chemistry again on Monday. I'll report back. Thanks

I'm having issues with what looks like calcium/scale buildup in my hot tub. I believe my gas heater has calcium build up inside as well. Are there any products that I can add to my hot tub that may help the build up in the heater? Thanks

Sorry, I will definitely snap a picture this evening and post. I appreciate your help

I've definitely looked and continue to browse the forum regularly. I'm really new to pools and still trying to gain the confidence to tackle issues myself, though I haven't done the repairs myself this forum has led me to an issue I had with two acuators and helped me save time and money by...

Mknaus please let me know what you have in mind, thanks

Thank you, I just had the membrane replaced so I definitely need the sun shade. I'm looking for the internal bypass but I can't find the part anywhere

Here's my equipment set up, I'm sorry I thought you meant filter inside the heater. I believe the pool service removed and clean the filter in the filter about 8/9months ago

I'm not sure when the filter was last cleaned or changed, is it hard to change the filter in this model heater? Could the flow rate be set too low, I have my VSP pump set at 2600 rpm, but it had the same issues with my old pump

So my heater is making a noise that sounds like rocks clunking around inside, it only does this briefly for a few seconds at a time. I called multiple pool techs who said the heater is operating correctly, one tech said it's calcium buildup and it needs to be ran more to clear it Also,the...

Should it be open when the pump is running, or when it's off?

I'm reading conflicting answers, should this always be closed as I have it, or open? If closed, when should I ever open to bleed air? Pic of filter below Thanks

Thank you, that membrane is brand new, the last one was actually damaged by the sun. The tinted cover broke, I need to order a new one. Thank you

I'm trying to figure out how to secure the top of this heater to avoid moisture/debris to get inside. The top doesn't "click in" or fasten, it just kind of sits on top. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

He mentioned that, the problem is I had a GFCI installed right before I had the pump installed and the electrician installed a 40amp GFCI which feeds all of my pool equipment downstream, can't put two gfci in same branch apparently it causes a trip. I know it's not code, but he says everything...

Thank you very much! After looking into everything I had a pool tech come out, I'm not sure why but the 20a breaker that the old pump was on also runs the heater too(not sure if that's standard )so when the tech installed the new pump he turned it off because he put a new breaker in for the new...
