Yeah I think I will sand it down a bit and hit it with some spray paint. It is working good but was wondering if other people were have the same results. :cheers:

Anyone have thoughts on my filter clamp corroding? I replaced the original clamp which appeared more durable with this one hoping it will last a very long time. The clamp is only 7years old. Thanks for all your inputs. :cheers:

Thanks for the info, perhaps I will use that next time I break down the filter however it may be 3 years before I do so. The last time I cleaned my filter was 3 years ago. Thanks to TFP and a birdcage :cheers:

Hey JIM I am not sure what seal you are referring to. The seal I am using I still put lube on. It is a fairly thick seal. I also have a new seal with a metal strip in it. Perhaps you are referring to this one.

AJ yes I agree with you. Here is what the new one looks like :cheers:

After cleaning Hayward DE 4820 filter, I overtightened the drain plug and the plug split on the sides. Closer inspection and you can see the sides got warped. Got it replaced from Amazon, one day delivery Hayward SP1022C Receptacles Vacuum Fittings for Concrete Pools with O-Ring for...

Yes very happy I went with DE. It is very oversized for my pool but that just means that I spend more time swimming instead of cleaning filters. If you are getting a good deal on the Hayward I would switch it out and sell the sand filter which is what I did. Hope this helps:cheers:

Nextoblivion, I did the same thing 5 years ago. I also had a S220t. I replaced the grids and was up and running. You will notice a decrease in PSI and you may notice not very many particles floating in the pool at night with the pool light on. Hope this helps:cheers:

TheeMikeB I have several water features with a similar set up other than I have valves to control each feature. Yes the water is stagnant and when I turn them on now I see sometime green water for the first 10 seconds. It will not harm the pool provided you check your chlorine levels. Hope this...

Yes replacing with a 2 speed pump will save you money and yes keeping your wet end if in good shape will be less work on your part. I suggest calling Swimming Pool Supplies - Pool Parts - INYOPools.com The folks would be able to help you. You will have to have the model number of the pump so...

Hold on a minute and let's see if we can get the experts to help you:cheers:

Welcome to TFP:wave: I am not familiar with this so let's see if we can get some eyes on this:cheers:

Very clean looking. Love it [emoji482]

Welcome ttyler to TFP:wave: There are many threads here regarding the use of a surge protector for a VSP. Feel free to look through the threads and ask questions. Here is one such thread Protecting Variable Speed Pumps Hope this helps:cheers:

No I don't see any pics if that is what you are referring too.

coachgkj welcome to TFP:wave: Can you post pics of your install and also put your equipment and pool specs in the sig bar? There are not very many members here who have Jacuzzi variable speed pumps so you will become a valuable resource. Perhaps you can start a new thread. Hope to see you on the...

Hi Look at my pool build in the the sig bar for pics of our pool pad. It is quite large and I love it, so my suggestion is to go big. Look at this thread What Does Your Pool Equipment Pad Look Like? Hope this helps:cheers: Here is our Pool Equipment Pad it measures 9 ft x 19 ft. I wanted it...

Yes you can all my hose bibs are done that way:cheers:

I was thinking along those lines also however I wish I could just replace the internal guts from DE to Cartridge. Do you know if this could be done:confused:

Welcome to TFP which is a great place to help you take care of your pool. Do you have individual valves controlling each one of the sheer descents. In order for me to control my sheer descents I usually close off the flow going to the returns. What is your vs pump set at when you are running...

Hi rcs101 let's get some more eyes on this:cheers:

Check I also have 2 of these, however I have the 2nd edition ones (not sure what is the difference between the 2nd and 3 rd edition) one at the main panel and one at the sub panel. chiefwej your link did not show properly so I am posting another link for the OP. Here is the link...

Hi TomLane welcome to TFP:wave: So agree with Kim:kim:. If you can, I would also go with a bigger filter as in this case bigger is better,:eek: you can go longer times to cleaning filter. Hope this helps:cheers:

It appears to me that you have a corrosion issue. That lug on the side in the first pic is for a bonding wire. Did you have one connected to it? If not that is your problem. Hopefully others with experience will chime in. Hope this helps:cheers:

Lets bump this and see if someone more expert can chime in:cheers:

Welcome to TFP:wave: Pop and smoke does not sound good. I have this same timer and I do not recall seeing a transformer in it. I think you should replace it with a new one. Hopefully others will chime in with different suggestions. Hope this helps:cheers:

WOW :eek:Huge different so jealous you got a pentair VS pump:cheers:

Surge protector will go at the breaker box where the pump is connected. Hope this helps.

Op don’t forget to install a surge protector if you go the vs route:cheers:

Is it possible that you do not have enough water flow to the polaris? Sometimes I have to increase flow to the polaris to get it properly running. Hope this helps:cheers:
