Thanks for the reply, The handle isn't the problem it clears ok as long as i'm mounted like this inline other wise correct can't mount them perpendicula. i am just confused by examples in these particular actuators docs as my actuator is inline with the valve. But reading a haywards actuator...

thank you! i don't fully understand the cam positions yet but will after read more closely, I shall continue then!

wierd, but then again so it goes with these types of things, I guess that's just the 1.5hp pump as the 3hp doesn't have that issue.

So i just realized this after mounting the valves and then reading the directions lol, all of my valves are 2 port straight, they are also close so the only way i can mount the actuator is inline. But in reading the docs on these they don't have that as an option, the show pictures for an...

and here i am tonight ! i didn't get to running the pool filter till late today as some plumbing was giving me a hassle with priming so i redid it real quick. just used chlorine. I did put a bit of classifier in there after vac to waste and 2nd fill. That was so i could use the robot a bit for...

so my salinity test kit got flooded i think i haven't found it yet but who knows which pile it's in =) but i've tested the river water before (i'm on an inlet so brackish) with my test kit and it was around 15000ppm salinity, i've also tested the chlorine generator level readings with the kit...

yeah the plain jane pumps survive ww3, though i do have a spa pump that stopped but i'll bet it's just a capacitor, haven't gotten to it yet to check. I have had an old school pump swamped before (twice) and it ran but shortly afterwards eventually squeeled like crazy from the bearings, so you...

Sorry missed this, i'm sure everyone in same boat with heavy cleanup not much computer time. that's what i did and no science expert but that whole link on no drain replacement didn't quite make sense to me, but salt vs fresh does but i think the 2 say essentially same thing. so i would do a...

what i ended up doing to avoid using my main pump with high salinity, i did a partial 70% or so drain, salt water heavier than fresh, doing a no drian replace for a good while , then refill part of the way . Will see if cleaner line can clean to waste at lower water level if i preprime it and...

not likely , when you redo it make sure its up though this storm wouldn't have made a difference for a lot, or put a plug in and unions and remove before storm. Been there done that, that's what i do. then i have a sump for draining emergencies if it's filling. You can try, an old school pump...

I would really consider a no drain water exchange. yeah that's the ticket and i store a small submersible pump for this which is what i've been using. thanks for info op should consider same but if you're gulf side etc water is a bit cleaner, river side ....it's a chemical bomb of river water

question , is this enough to filter out all of the oils,gas,chems,etc that may be in the water? I've done the 50% replace before filter filter filter but wonder about long term contaminates in the water. i know drain is ideal but it's too risky after a flood by water. If your shell is elevated...

same here except mine is muddy brackish river water NASTY to the bone. what i've done in past is since it's salt or brackish the salinity will be off charts is drain half fill half then chlorine max and filter clean filter clean filter clean (or backwash). Can start 24 hour cleaning first then...

yeah looking at the spa blower docs on this site and reading a few threads it looks like would need to stay above water level or hartford loop. Maybe somewhere arouond this cut they had a flush vented box air intake like i see with some pics. I suppose i could dip below the deck, then at...

so if i was ahh yeah...so...thinking if i coupler onto them i was going to run the diy manifold right below that cut slab section i have to repour but That would be at the top of the tile line Think that wouldn't work? maybe that's why it's just barely under the surface of the concrete, that...

Go cartridge. Either can be a royal pain coming from a sand filter honestly depending on your situation. I have one of each (2 inground pools different locations)...just upgrpaded the DE in one ...simply because it was de before and got a crazy deal on a pentair composite de filter. Also kept...

it's really wierd the lines were so shallow in the slab but no shortage of hack stuff there.

thanks for the reply that's what i figured. I think what i'll do is build a manifold of some type maybe of 1 1/2 /1 1/2 / 1/2 tee's and run that out to the equiptment area or just run these out there and make the manifold there Can always just leave it that way for now. that way i can plan...

hi thanks it's a simple setup this is what i'm working with I'm thinking drop 3 way far right for 1 suction + cleaner and one 3 way to left to allow drain selection.

So this is an old place i'm working on old as in 70's. I've been pondering this for a year and think i know what it is but wondering if anyone can confirm and suggest what to do with it. Long story short, deck had been cut at some point i noticed when i'd close some valves (example one return...

So i have a pool old school basic with cartiridge filter. I'm rebuilding the pump/filter area. simple setup it's presently just regular ball valves one each line and have to hookup hose for drain (frequent in florida) presently: suction - cleaner line - skimmer line - main drain return -...

I have 2 varients of the chinese vsrs including 2 calimars. one a dohenys branded harris is going on 3 years. i seriously doubt they're really 3hp but they work. i hate vsrs though ,...i just want to slam an single speed pump in and a program one mechanical last forever timer without jumping in...

Hi, so dumb question, a raised spa , it will drain down when spa main and return is open and pump is off. There is one check valve on the return (which i replaced internal flapper on couple years ago). It will still drain down if i don't turn off the main...turn off the main problem solved...

How long did it take you to get your rebate from teco or did the application say? I switched mine out without thinking about the rebate but i have another i can flip out. I remember applying for a Hillsborough county water dept rebate (toilets) kinda funny, some check showed up years later i...
