So here's an update from Monday 3/19/18. I finally found the culprit. Apparently my Diverter Valve that switches water flow between the pool and spa was/is/had failed. After removing the actuator, I noticed water pooling on top of the valve. When I powered the pool down, I noticed what...

Thanks to both Jimrahbe and jodeci77 for your feedback. Appreciate your quick responses. So I added 2 additional inches of water and tried switching to SPA mode and then back. Switching to SPA worked as expected. Switching from SPA to Pool stalled the pump for non-prime. Checked weir and it...

In the world of unusual, my Pentair VSP, doesn't want to prime after I've used the Spa when trying to switch back to pool mode. All valves/actuators seems to be operating normal. While I can go from pool mode to spa mode without issue, when I switch back, pump tries to prime but no water...

Tks kimkats. Yes, I reviewed the manual before posting. There wasn't any information regarding the core removal/disassembly. I found a few of those videos online as well. They dealt primarily with filter cleaning vs. core/manifold removal. Guess I'll keep looking.

Searched far and wide for a video or written instructions on how to take apart my filter core on a Pentair CC100 filter. I wanted to remove it for a thorough cleaning. It disconnects about half way; however, I can't seem to remove the section that attaches to the filter housing. Also looking...

Thanks for your response Divin Dave

So I finally purchased TSP and gave my oldest filter a soak for 24 hours. While it was soaking, I started getting cold feet about using TSP due to the dreaded algae stimulant "phosphates." I poked around on a few of the post related to TSP but really didn't see a conclusive response. My pool...

de3isit: I can't answer your pump question, but can suggest a place to look for iPad/iPhone automation. There is a company that makes an add on component to provide smart phone visibility/updates/alerts, etc. I've been looking into that possibility as well. I don't have any experience or reviews...

Got it...thanks!

Mark...thanks for the quick response. We had start-up and staining issues with our "new" pool and had been advised to run it at least 8 hours per day, so that number kinda stuck. I recognize, I'm probably turning my pool 2.5 to 3 times per day. As noted we do have a SWG and it maintains FC at...

Reviewing my whole house power consumption the other day and wondered how much of my bill was consumed by my pool pump. Found an online chart that based on horsepower, speed and run-time displayed that I was using 392kwh per month. I did the math (with the help of Excel) and found that my pool...

After two years of using my Pentair CC100, I noticed the O-Ring being a bit worn, stretched and plus the fact I seemed to be drawing a slight bit of air into my system. I figured it was about time for a replacement, so off to the pool store I go. Got the O-ring and an extra tube of silicon...

I'm looking for information from the community regarding valve locks. Our pool equipment is located behind our house outside of the pool cage. Our yard is not fenced. I want to be able to apply locks to all critical pool valves to prevent any potential for vandals to tamper with pool...
