I have a standard T connection for the main pump with a 3 way valve for skimmer, drain, and pump suction. The suction cleaner port produces no suction. The pool company/local builder came out to inspect and told me it will never work as the system was built to maintain a balance and reduce...

I need to capture sand and some pea gravel that ends up in my pool. I have In floor cleaning system and it tends to puddle up floor debris in a common location.

The primary pump has a dedicated suction port and one of those in ground leaf catchers. I originally thought it was leaking and why I had almost no suction on the suction port. But it turns out the system itself defeats the suction. No matter what you do you will never have suction since the...

My pool has the skimmer and bottom drain connected and there is a pressure compensation bypass created by a skimmer venturi. If I understand this correct from a pool builder in the area. Very atypical in his words but he has seen this before. Result... no suction in the suction port for the...

2 days below freezing down to 20F. Plan on running my main pump 24 hours a day at 35% with above ground plumbing through 20 degrees. Wasn't sure about my waterfall so I just disconnected it and drained the bowl. I see lots of emphasis on running the waterfall during a freeze. Should I...

City. It's very alkaline. I haven't added it for months. I have been pumping he pool off instead after the continuous 1 to 2 inch rains we are getting. I will test my tap water to see.

Thanks

That wod be rain for the last 2 months.

Questions: 1. What order do I add chemicals or stabilizer chemistry first? 2. Ideas on CYA? 3. Is 3 to 4 ppm FC ok or should I keep it at 6 to 7? Been chasing TA from 160 all summer. It magically hit the target after the hurricane (was 90). Been chasing CYA up all summer. Adding the dry...

I figured it out. I messed up the seal. Newb mistake putting silicone around the impeller shaft. Plus INYO sent me the wrong seal (needed a HD seal for saltwater)

Another Pic of the seal surface. Brand new seal and it already has a rubbermark against it. Is that normal?

When I moved into this house, the waterfall pump in the subject line would lower on, overheat, trip breaker. Bad motor (or so assumed). Order a replacement motor through INYO and installed. Power on, no pump movement, breaker tripped. I assumed bad pump. But I disconnected the pump and the...

I had already purchase the Pentair GFCI breaker. Will stab it in the box later this week.

I have a 2 inch pvc ball valve on the main return. Another on a 3/4 inch going to an abandoned in deck chlorinator. And then the A&A IFCS manifold with no valves.

Yep. Selling stuff sucks. Was wondering if there are any dedicated pool forums with strong selling component.

That's how I did it. And now the timer turns on the SWG inside of the pump program time. I guess the risk is that the pump trips OFF..the SWG timers ON ... and the Circupool switch fails.....boom.

Nope.

The return jets across the skimmer suction and out into the pool. Someone told me it was to create a vortex to improve skimmer capture under the basket. Someone else told me it was to balance or equalize to the bottom drain. In any case I have no access to my 2 suction ports in the skimmer...

Anyone?
