My VS 3050 for my waterfall decides not to work on this beautiful Memorial Day when the kids go for a swim. :rant: It's been working fine ever since we had it, til now. At the indoor control panel, when I push the button for the waterfall to come on, the LED lights up as it should but the pump...

I tested my water on Wednesday at a PH of 7.8 and added acid to lower it to around 7.6. On Saturday, I'm expecting it to be around 7.8 again and took a water sample to a local pool store that I trust, mainly to test the CYA level, since I ran out of reagent(mistakenly dumped it out, AGAIN)...

Is there a minimum/maximum GPM requirement for backwashing a Quad DE 80? It has a 2" slide valve on it and I was thinking of backwashing it for 3 minutes at maybe 30 GPM or so. Any recommendations? I've looked in the filter manual and couldn't find any mention of it. But I've heard that there's...

In mid October, we added salt to our new pool-- initially up to 3500 ppm. It has a Pentair IC40. After superchlorination for the first 24 hrs, we set it to 80%, and later dropped it to 60% since temperatures were starting to drop in late October. I always got a really bright, almost...

After a year and 2 weeks, the pool's complete! It took 24 hours and 26,000 gallons to completely fill on Saturday 9/12/09. The Pebble Tec is beautiful! The PB will maintain for the 1st month, but I have my TF 100 Test Kit and will be to monitoring, just in case. I used the 5 drop Taylor K-1000...

I'm planning on building an outdoor kitchen with a built-in sink. We're going to run a 3" sewer line to drain the sink so we could maybe later tap into it to build an outdoor bathroom. How should I vent the sewer line if the counter top is the tallest point?

Skimmer Port Sizes All of the skimmers that I've seen so far have 2" ports. I don't know, but there may be other sizes. What if the suction for the main drains are supposed to be 2 1/2"? Would you install the 2 1/2" for the drains and reduce it at the skimmer port, and also run the 2 1/2" from...

I'm wondering if I should run conduit for low voltage outdoor lighting to the Intellitouch panel before the equipment goes in. Maybe with my future landscaping plans, I could at some point be using up to 3 different outdoor lighting circuits. Can the Intellitouch i7 control the outdoor low...

We're a couple of weeks away from pouring the deck, and I'd like to pressure test the lines. It's been a while(couple of months) since it was first tested and past inspection, and there's been a lot of foot traffic since. All the plumbing is still set-up for testing, except for the waterfall...
