Given all that you've done, I would suspect that the rollers aren't compressing the pump tubing. It can be hard to get the rollers to expand properly even when they appear to.

I don't know exactly why it's corroding, but I'd suggest checking the anodes to make sure they are installed so that they protect the tracks and to make sure they aren't worn down. You might also try softer metal anodes.

SamsClub also sells bleach without additives in 3 jug cases in a lot of their clubs if there is one close enough to you.

If there's a Home Depot or Lowes near you, they both sell Pool Bleach in most locations. You may have to ask at the local store to find it.

In your location, if the ports are underwater, for recessed ports in your spa (or pool for that matter) I would use something like a Gizzmo plug. I wouldn't use a hard pipe extension due to the fact that when the water freezes it could break the fitting because it won't be able to collapse a...

A few things to check. Make sure the fan is running and is passing plenty of air. Make sure the lamp is tight in the socket. (Use clean cotton gloves when handling the lamp). If those are good It could be a bad lamp or a weak thermal switch.

That's a Praher (Pentair) valve. It appears that the spring is broken, so instead of you not raising the diverter when changing positions it isn't pressing the diverter down onto the body partitions. Look for parts for a SM-10 multiport valve and you should be able to find what you need.

1. Yes, you can switch immediately. 2. You can add LC (Liquid Chlorine, aka. Bleach) any time. 3. The best way to add LC is to slowly pour it in front of a running return.

You might consider adding another clamp with the gear opposite the current one. I always double clamp those hoses. If it continues to leak, you can buy those thread to hose adapters at your local big box home improvement store. You can also change the hose out to hard PVC piping if your handy...

Also, check your Spam email folder. A lot of times "apparently unsolicited" messages get routed to Spam by most major email vendors.

Welcome to TFP. Can you give us the make and model of the injection pump? A picture of the head end may help too. Most small peristaltic pumps have three rollers in the head so no matter which position it stops at least one the rollers are occluding the tubing preventing a gravity or suction...

I read all your posts and agree with your assessment. Installed the check valve as a peace of mind item, but really didn't need it. I would agree on the 10GPD fixed head pump ran on a timer. The only issue I can think of is that you'll need a timer with fine adjustments so you can fine tune the...

Here's a couple of things. The new timer box doesn't have a non-dedicated terminal to terminate the wires that are under terminal "A" on the existing timer. However, you may be able to terminate them with some of the other wires. Here's what I found out about the new timer. The 'clock'...

I hate to nitpick, but the new pic of the existing timer is a little too far away for me to trace the wires in the enclosure. :( Also it looks like the existing timer is a T104 which is a 240 volt timer and without knowing the model of the new one it's hard to tell for sure how it can be wired...

Common places for algae to hide are Light niche, Steps, Seats, Step Weights, etc.. If you have removable steps I'd start there. Remove them and flush them with bleach solution. Make sure you get in every nook and cranny.

You need to back away just a little and take another pic of the timer wiring so we can see where all those wires are routed. Having said that, it looks like some of those white wires are used as jumpers. While I would use a different color, they will work. Also as said above, I would trim off...

Poolman is correct, however, I suggest you don't cut the plug off, but instead get a female cord end or receptacle and wire it to the relay. With Stenner once you cut the plug off you void the warranty. While not a huge issue as the Stenner pumps are very reliable, I prefer to maintain the...

Given that there should be two completely separate circuits (Dishwasher and Disposal) not only is it proper, but it's required that the tab be removed. P.S. I also think that you will find the tab not broken off on the old switch.

Assuming that the circuits are on the same phase, whoever did the wiring for these circuits, did the right thing. If they had fed the circuits with adjacent breakers then you would wind up with 240 volts between the line terminals of the switch. The way it's wired there will be zero potential...

The QuikClean system I find is made by Cooke industries. It also looks like they've changed the design of the valve. After more research, looks like it's an A&A system. Here is a valve parts breakdown. Quick-Clean Water Valve Parts Having said that, what makes you think that the valve isn't...

As long as the wiring is large enough, there shouldn't be an issue replacing the 4kw heater with the 55kw heater. The contactor in the spa is sized to easily handle the extra load.

With your pool being a little over 9500 gallons, any of the filters would work. However, if you could go with the least expensive vendor but upgrade to between a 150 to 200 sqft cartridge filter, I think that would be better.

Let's try a little experiment. Take the automatic valve on the left and see if you can rotate the handle straight up (If you can't, just run the experiment with it where it is). Then take the valve that's in the middle of the picture between the two gauges and turn it so that the handle is...

The general rule of thumb for vertical sand filter sand level is just at, or a little below, the tangential line (where the straight wall meets the dome shape top), unless otherwise stipulated. That way the maximum surface area of the sand bed is maintained.

Thanks for coming back and giving us some answers. See followup questions below.

Sounds like there's an issue with the drain line. Before the dishwasher how did you clean the dishes (hand wash, old dishwasher, power washer :), etc.)? Is this new one a water saving dishwasher?

What you have is an Ultraflex system. When the system is on, do you see the motor in the valve top running? The last picture you posted is your filter and the gauge on top is the filter pressure. What does it read when the infloor system is on and off? What does the automatic valve on the...

What type and size filter do you have? Which pump do you have? What is your filter pressure with the Caretaker system in service and with it bypassed? What pressure does the gauge on the caretaker dome show when it's running and when it's off?

According to the schematics, it's two distinct relays, but they both switch off one clock, so they switch at the same time.

You could clean the 'stuff' out of the broken off piece and get an internal coupling and glue it into the broken off piece and then turn the piece out. Yeah, you waste the coupling, but it should give you enough 'purchase' (as you put it) to remove the broken piece.
