    Valve actuator issues

    Hi, I have a Pentair i+3 system. My problem is that my JANDY valve and actuators have suddenly stopped working/moving. They are programmed to work but are not and neither of them work in manual mode. How do i trouble shoot these to see if the problem is with the pentair or with the valve...

    Spill Over spa - Pool/Spa Pump times

    Thanks for the clarification. That sounds reasonable but my pump is running 8 hours a day providing a clear pool but my spillover spa is a frog pond. In addition to the 'spill over' there is also a four inch wide tunnel between the spa and pool.

    Spill Over spa - Pool/Spa Pump times

Ok, I know what you are going to say, but in this case I have a pool robot running, main drain is shut, and all but about 10% of one of the skimmers open (i.e. almost all suction is going to robot).

    Q about potential suction leak and Hayward 6020

    @Richard - THANKS! I will crack it open tomorrow, and see what I find. ANY idea what size the Bolt is on the outside? I watched a guy on youtube clean a 6020 and he said that the Bolt/Nut was 11/16. This one is bigger than that. Cant seem to find it on the Hayward Docs either. Going to have to...

    Q about potential suction leak and Hayward 6020

    Q1. Hi. I have noticed that when our pool comes on in the morning (after not being on) we have very little suction. This also happens a couple of hours past my work around (see below) and the pump begins to cavitate. I have also installed a Pentair Sand shark robot and it too slows with the...
