I THINK what you're looking for is called a 1 1/2" slip to 1 1/2" FPT PVC adapter. Like this: 1-1/2" PVC Schedule 40 Female Adapter SLIP x FPT or, If you're needing unions, you could buy two, one threaded, one slip, and then swap parts between the two to get the configuration you want. If...

How old are the filter cartridges? What is your normal psi? A clogged filter would result in higher than normal pressures.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.

Thank you @HermanTX , much appreciated!

Here's what I see when I go Menu>SETUP>EQUIPMENT

This screen displays when I push the menu button.

Still not seeing it Jim, I wonder if my system is too dated??? I think it was installed in 2005 and doubt it's ever been updated.

Do you know what the pipe does? I looks like it might be a fill line. If it is, you'll want to shut off the supply upstream before starting any repairs.

The Flex Tape is supposed to work in wet environments... The pipe doesn't have to be inserted all the way, but you'll get the strongest bond if it does.

I don't think you want to use that ball valve. The plastic ball valves are notorious for breaking. I'd recommend a Jandy or Pentair 2-way valve: Custom Molded Products 2 Way Valve 1 1/2 Inside / 2 Outside 25912-154-000 - 4724 - INYOPools.com You might also want to verify the size of the pipe...

@Jimrahbe I'm thinking I might need to be in the remedial class! I can't figure out how to program & connect the Feature Circuits to the pump...

The glycerin helps dampen the needle movement so its movement is less erratic.

Thanks again Jim! Got the wires hooked up, but looks like I need to name the new pump. Edit to add: No Screen Logic yet.

I've recently swapped out our single speed pump in favor of an Intelliflo VS (011028) and added a Circupool RJ60+ SWG. Everything is up and running except I need to connect the pump to the Intellitouch com ports. The Intellitouch has the i9 plus 3 personality board. I found an online manual...

Me too! Never heard about this trick/hack before.

@Eric2021 I just installed a Intelliflo pump for our pool. The old pump is a Whisperflo with a new motor that was replaced about a year ago. It's yours if you want it, just cover shipping. I'm in Reno, so it shouldn't be to expensive to ship and should arrive fairly quickly. I still have the...

I just swapped out our Whisperflo to an Intelliflo VS. I was a little bummed at the price, but wanted to swap in preparation for the SWG I'm hopefully installing tomorrow. I haven't connected the pump to the automation yet and have been using the controls on the pump (connected this way, the...

That's kind of what I was thinking. If you normally use the pool at a certain time, run the pump at a higher speed for xx hours to adequately skim the surface before jumping in, lower speeds the rest of the time.

Is your pump programmable?

A little late, but I've been using skimmer socks starting about halfway through last summer. I find that they last 2-4 weeks before they start to deteriorate (get holes), so I just replace as needed. I was rinsing every couple of days during our pollen season, now I rinse them out 1-2 twice a...

Thanks Jim.

Thanks Marty.

No, just the main circulation pump. Plan to keep the spa pumps for now.

Looking to switch to a variable speed pump in conjunction with adding an IC60 and probably ScreenLogic2. I've narrowed it down to these three options: Intelliflo VS 011018 Intelliflo VS 011028 (newer version of 011018?) Intelliflo VSF 011056 From what I've read here, the variable flow isn't...

I just read another post where the member heard similar stuff from her pool repairman. Crazy. We run our pump 4 hours a day and it keeps the pool nice and clear. We also run the cleaner for 2 hours in the 4 hour window. We put on a solar cover and that seems to impede the effectiveness of the...

I have, all good. No loss overnight.

No, I don't use DE, but had a pool service open the pool and do the service last month. Maybe it's just dirt, dust, & other. It's been a while (early 90's) but it reminded me of the DE we used for our filter in Phoenix.

I'd be worried about WHY the gauge blew off! The pressure must have been pretty high for that to happen.

Cleaned my cartridge filters today and washed quite a bit of this out of them (Pentair CCP420)
