I came across INYOpools after reading other posts and their site is very helpful. I ended up getting a deal on a Jacuzzi brand VS (JVS165S) from a local Leslies and re-worked the plumbing (the original plumbing did not meet the installation recommendations). They also had several new versions of...

Pump finally gave out sometime overnight (running overnight because I'm SLAMing the pool). I've always leaned towards getting a VS pump whenever my current one died, so that's not too much of an issue. Only reason I'd stay with current pump is if someone convinced me that motor replacement (on a...

I have a 1 HP Pentair Superflow (model 340038) pump that has become progressively louder this summer. I checked the impeller for debris (just reaching what I could through the strainer opening), and found nothing. I have not taken anything apart. The pump appears to move water just fine based on...

Thanks for the advice. I'll add the remaining 2 lbs of CYA that I have and continue to let the FC fall to ~4. The CYA I've used says to mix it in a bucket of water and dump it down the skimmer. I like the sock idea better. How long should I let the pump run after adding CYA? (Last time I ran...

I opened my pool about a week ago and measured the following (with the TF-100) FC = 0 pH = 6.8 TA = 40 CH = 120 CYA = <20 Salt = 2000 First, I shocked the pool with bleach and added salt. A couple days later I passed the OCLT and have been letting the chlorine drop. On Friday night I added...

Makes sense, thanks for letting me know. I'm going to get rid of the pipe with the hole in the return line to install a SWG. Is there a good way to plug the hole in the pipe between the pump and filter?

Does anyone know why the pipe after the pump outlet (before the multiport valve) would be connected to the return with a small (0.25 inch dia.) tube (black tube in picture)??? I'm going to put in a SWG and want to make sure I can get rid of the tube...

Thanks Jason. I'll plan to do as you suggested and run the SWG/flow switch straight down into the ground unless someone knows of a good reason to keep the black tube. In that case, I'll still plan to modify things a bit more because my booster pump quit working a few days ago and I've had a...

Oops, sorry about that. I edited the post and tried attachments this time. Hopefully the pictures will show up now.

I'm a new pool owner after buying a house with one last fall. This forum has been by far the most useful source of information about pool issues, thanks to everyone who contributes. I opened the pool a few weeks ago and am getting ready to add a SWG. I'd like any advice I can get before...
