That's an old A&A leaf vac. The basket is missing. You can try to clean the seal, or get a new one. They are available on the internet. Your local guy can probably get one too if you bring him the old lid to match up.

To all who read the following: This is not an invitation for argument. It has been the practice that a check valve be plumbed in just upstream of the Chlorinator, or somewhere in between the heater and the chlorinator to keep concentrated chlorine from flowing backwards into the heater and...

Its the gate off the check valve. Rubber seal is missing. (pic that has the clear piece with the "flow" sticker on it.

If you go into service mode and can get the valves rotate, then its not the valve actuators. Although the jiggling valve handles are symptom of another, unrelated problem. You can try disabling the spa side remote. I would disconnect the remote switch buss at the board instead of the button...

You may be in delay or cool down mode. How long are you waiting after you hit the pool button before you believe you have an issue? If you are in fact in delay mode, there will be the word "delay" flashing on the LCD screen. I forget exactly where on the screen you see this, but it is small...

You will unfortunately need the eyeball, cover plate, and the 6 screws to make that return directional again. Unless someone else has a hack for this. The threads you see are for a vinyl liner type installation to make a water tight seal from the back side.

I Have never used "quick" or any kind of easy fix fittings, including unions. Just because i have trust issues. I just use the 4 90's or 45's method. BTW, I have not experienced any reduced flow due to the 90's that many fear they will get by doing this way. Looks like all the lines had...

Yes and no. Yes it was the cause, No, the pressure switch wasn't making the noise, the valve solenoid was, as you suspected. As soon as you dont have enough pressure the switch opens and is supposed to cut power to the valve making it close and shut down the heater (via the FENWAL). Your...

Sometimes, in an attempt to get as much energy savings as possible, the variable speed pump manager will lower the speed as low as seemingly possible (no crime). This, in a lot of cases can cause the clicking noise you describe. Simple test, try turning up the RPM on the motor and see if it...

Two things: 1) The noise does sound like a solenoid going back and fourth between getting voltage and not. Or it could be a relay. You need to confirm that the boards next to the gas valve dont have any relays that could be the source of this clicking noise. 2) If this solenoid was indeed...

Don't know. Looks like a liner skimmer from the holes in the throat face.

I'm in-ground gunite and plaster, so im no help...

I would buy a new motor. If the motor is not making any loud growling noises, it may not be the bearings causing the overheating problem.

Could be the Uni-therm governor, or perhaps reduced water flow through the heater. Does this heater have an LCD screen? And does it give you any information (trouble codes)?

Since the diverter is part of the basket It will need to be installed a certain way. IOW, not just dropped in. It may be helpful to turn off the pump while you find out exactly how it goes in.

It looks like an old skim filter that had the base disintegrate and someone came in and poured the base up with concrete, and knocked a hole in the side for the suction line. Which by the way was done with what looks like schedule 20 pipe (irrigation). If it doesn't leak, run it. If it do...

Apologies, i thought that this was a gunite pool/spa. This appears (from the diagrams) that this is a plastic or portable spa? Don't listen to me, i'm no help here. Please, if you have more issues, list your pool type, system, etc., in your signature area, so we/i wont waste your time. Thanks!

I dont believe the jet you are trying to get is directional. The jet housing you have looks to me like it is for a fixed jet. When you look into the housing, do the water and the air ports oppose each other from the sides? Or does the water come from the very back of the housing and the air...

Ok, then you can get a float valve (if you want). Or leave it. Float valve regulates the amount drawn from the main drain, and is a safety device (only for the pump, NOT for humans) if the pool gets too low on water.

When they started to make backwash valves out of plastic, it created a real problem. The old brass ones were nice because you could beat up on them (pry against them) and they wouldn't break. You gotta be careful with the plastic ones... or just replace the whole thing (PITA).

If you get water when you open the air intake, you have the wrong jet. Picture of what you have?

That's it Search Amazon for this: Skimmer Basket Aladdin Pacific Fab 51-3036 B-43 Around 8 bucks. No shipping or tax. Even if it is the wrong size, you're not out much. There is also one there with free skimmer filters if you search for just the part number (513036) .

It is important that you do not install a float valve if you have an infloor cleaner. If you dont have a infloor, then disregard

If i remember, there is "like" a float valve in that, it sits on the floor of the skimmer, but it doesn't have a float or anything. Its in the shape of a half moon and it rotates on the base of the skimmer allowing you to adjust how much water is drawn from the main drain. Don't remember the...

Is the handle sloppy just up and down? Or side to side as well?

Fitting you are looking for is about 4 inches long. Very old, very discontinued. Not to say that there aren't any still out there. Might be able to find someone with some old stock. I think they were made by Flo. Not sure though. Good Luck

What happened is the orings swelled. no amount of lube will do it. Steady constant force. NO shock force to plastic, it will break. If you get it out and are going to keep, REPLACE orings every year. They are cheap, and less time consuming.

I am not completely versed on lilypad skimmers, but that one looks broke! The flat piece should be the base to the "can" that is in the other picture on the deck. Or at least, it shouldn't be easy to disassemble (making it hazardous) Why dont you do a search for lillypad skimmers, so you can...

Do you have an in-floor cleaner?
