I have returns on the side of the pool and returns on the bottom for the cleaners. Not sure about the main drain. Will look today. Is there away to ID which valve goes to the main drain? That has been a hard one to ID for me because you cant feel the suction when trouble shooting which...

Quick one... When my infloor cleaners run at night should I have the pump/skimmers running also. I have a seperate pump for the cleaners. I only run my infloor cleaners for an hour in the middle of the night because I also use a robot daily to clean the floors.

I added DE to the sand filter last night because we have a cloudy pool. I woke up this morning and it didn’t look like any water was flowing. I check the pump and there was air in it so my guess is the small amount of DE that I added was clogging the sand filter. I back washed it and now it’s on...

After adding the floc I circulated for 2 hours on recirc. I then turned off the system for the night (9hours) before I vacuumed this AM. It was hard to see the bottom in the deep end but I didn't see any floc or junk on the bottom.

We have a cloudy pool despite SLAM. I deep cleaned the sand filter last night and it was very dirty towards the bottom. Not pond looking water but very cloudy. I used floc last night and there wasn't much to vacuum up but the water was still very cloudy. I could barely see the water in the...

We have an issue with our pool being cloudy for the past month or so. It’s been often on because I have been slamming the pool and doing the overnight test with success. After reading a little bit more today I found out that the filter could be the cause so I closed the valves and I am in the...

I have a 2nd pump to run my features and infloor cleaners. For some reason when i shut the cleaners off tonight the pump still runs sending water down the slide. Then when I turn the patio lights on using ScreenLogic and turn the slide off so must’ve moved the valve. I thought I had all my plugs...

I have a sand filter and I am getting ready to open my pool. Do I need to fill the sand filter with water before starting the pool?

Yes, I have a Easytouch 8 and plan on setting schedules once I have repairs done. I also have a robot so I might just not run my infloor cleaners (they just seem to blow stuff around) and run my pump on low for 10 hours at night.

I have a VS intelliflo pump that circulates my water. Last year I planned on backing off of the 2600 RPMs that the pool builder sets when opening to a lower more cost effective RPM of 1200-1500. We have a spa that overflows into the pool and when the pool worker came out to do some work last...

The toggle switch is all the way up it is not in the off position.

Everything seems to be plugged in correctly. The circuit breakers seem to be in the correct position. Everything else electronically is working the valves just do not rotate. I’m not sure if there’s a setting in the EasyTouch or if I’m just missing something. This is the first time I’ve...

I have a Pentair EasyTouch and can’t seem to get the valves to function. Is there a setting in the EasyTouch that turns them on after being closed for the winter? I’ve looked under circuits and valves in the EasyTouch but cant seem to figure it out. They won’t even respond when I move the manual...

I am unable to control my Pentair VS pump with my app or intellitouch. My spa side remote is also off. I can control all features with the panel. My intellitouch adapter has a red light and I have reset it and everything else multiple times. I have flipped the fuse switch for the pool to off...

Great advice. Thanks A couple of basic questions. From your reply the goal of the returns is to push water on the top of the surface to the skimmer baskets? I should aim these towards the skimmer baskets at the other end of the pool. I do have 2 skimmer baskets (technically 3) but 1 seems...

My situation.. Pool company had my pumps running non-stop at 2700 rpm. Skimmers were skimming, pool looked great. I found this site and I am in the process of trying to figure out how much to run my pump. I have decreased the pump to 1500 rpm 20 hours a day and then run it at 2500rpm when...
