I am not certain because all the literature and parts breakdowns I see do not look like the one I have. Part number on filter is 140210. I tried to put jb on it to slow it down but didn’t do much. Here is my top.

sorry it is a tr100 not sure why I said tr60

I do plan on getting a tf gauge I read on here to prevent the gauge from failing so quickly. Desperate times called for desperate measures and I got one at Lowe’s. Thing is already corroded only half a summer in from leak. Leak is very mild so will be fine for a bit. Anyone changed an air...

I installed a new gauge on my newish tr100 and must have put too much Teflon on because it split the plastic air bleed assembly like nothing. I am going to replace it but what are tricks? Should I have skipped Teflon? The oem one had Teflon installed on it (I thought) Is there a brass/metal...

unfortunately I had everything removed and every single pool store was out of them and pentair told me a standard male adapter works fine and the high temp fittings are not required. I guess it would be best to order and install these!

I have oatey great white. I assume that is type of sealant you are talking about? Was not sure if that was ok to use with motor housing thank you

Installed new intelliflo and got small leak at the discharge thread. I used magic lube red on thread and hand tightened and it bottomed out right when it got tight. Wondering if my fitting is defective and short by a thread or do I need something else?

I plumbed in a new vsp and filter as well as new jandy valves. When I installed the jandy valve that connects to the pump via a union I guess I did not have the union connected so the valve is tilted ever so slightly which causes the union to be down 10 degrees. Luckily this all connects to abs...

Also it could be black poly pipe I am told but still need barb fittings but not sure how to tell if abs or black poly?

Hello - I am redoing my pool pad with new equipment and plumbing. While I am doing that I am upgrading to 2” pipe. I under stand you need a barb fitting with hose clamps to transition from abs to pvc but I am having a heck of a time finding this fitting to even order it. Any one have ideas or...

Thanks for the input, I will look up on the bypass and yes I have 2 return pipes. the booster pump was run to what is a jet now. These will be wye's. I don't see a purpose on putting a valve on the return.. unless I would come across needing it? (pipe after the SWTn runs 2 and the booster...

This is awesome, thank you so much, I like that clean simple layout. I made a quick little picture with labels on it for understanding of piping. I was thinking of using a Tee or a wye to tie the returns all together. Also do the MPV have union connections ?

That's not a bad idea about switching heater. I hadn't thought of that since gas line does come in more to left anyways. I am not familiar with the poly to pvc connects but have a plumber friend and he said it has to be barb. I will have to do more research on that connection. What do you...

got some more pictures. I am going to widen the pad on the left side about 1'. width currently is 5' and 4'3" to stubs ignore the mess, had massive storm that blew fences down.

I would appreciate that. I do plan on doing the work. I have done quite a few pvc projects so I am familiar with the doing but not the designing. I will get some more pictures and post tonight.

I am open to moving the stubs and yes they are black poly. The pump is what is throwing me off.. since it is in the Dang middle it makes everything a pain in the Rear. THinking of extending the pad 18" on bottom of pump/filter in pic.. I am scrambling now because pump is down. May just buy...

I am looking for help and ideas on how to do this plumbing. The previous owners had a handyman or someone do it and have always wanted to redo it but pump finally died and going to redo it. Adding pentair 011028 VSFP and pentair tr100. This filter is about 8” bigger than existing so may turn...

Hello - looking at upgrading to a Pentair Intelliflo 011028 pump (my motor is about to Crud out, I doubt it will make it through the summer). While I am doing this I am going to update some plumbing and size up my filter... My equipment pad is enclosed so trying to plan out if everything is...

appreciate the input guys. got rid of pressure cleaner because it was broken and bought a polaris robot and love it. I am going to wye the connection after the swg and go that route. also the reason I am removing the pump is because someone (def not me) turned it on for a while without the...

I am going to give it a try... hoping it won't lose a lot of pressure to the returns

I am needing to install a new multiport valve (as you can see the previous owners have JB welded the heck out of it - but it is still leaking). I want to get rid of the booster pump (no longer use the pressure side cleaner, we got a robot). I am going to redo this entire plumbing mess but...

@joyfulnoise - this sounds like it will get real expensive pretty fast which tells me I will probably never make my money back! @countrybumkin that is what I fear. I worried about the water flow rate and having to run it at high speed nonstop to even produce cholorine. Although I do not have...

so if I installed a pentair IC60 and a pentair VSP there would be no more needed fail safes ?

dumb question jim but I am not an electrician but how is this done? I do not feel comfortable with the flow switch being the only safety device is why I am asking but wondering how these are wired to explain to the electrician that will wire it for me.

Although I do not see myself running it year round here in the midwest I do like the option of running it with the heater turning on automatically. I have questions about adding the SWG and adding a VS pump so not certain which form to post in. I am looking at the Circupool RJ-60 (just missed...

@needsajet current pump does well with skimming and has no dead spots. I also have no water features. we are just looking for cost savings as this pump is fine now @jimrahbe you are correct, i was assuming it was VS pump but it is a 2 speed pump. I guess that answers that question and will...

I am still learning about this pool and we are looking at adding a circupool RJ60 Swg but want to replace the pump as well with a variable speed ... problem is i dont understand how to size it or what to look for? I have read several articles and they seem to point in different directions...
