Hello, Bumping to see if anybody knows ....

Hello all, So my filter is shot, when I open my pool and began the cleaning process my pool wasn't getting any cleaner and when I back washed the water that was being back washed wasn't the greenish color I usually get when back washing. The second time I back washed and added DE I noticed the...

Hello all, I will go home and inspect the grids, if I find the tear 3 questions: 1. Can it be repaired ? 2. If not and I do find the grid that is torn am I better of just replacing the 1 grid or replacing the whole set ? 3. Is this the correct D.E. grid for my filter: Filter Grids De-Grid...

Does this mean my filter is busted ? My PSI starts at 15 and in time it does raise to 20. I also see the D.E. exiting the returns when I add it to the skimmers.

Hello all, Jeez I can't seem to catch a break this season :hammer: The skimmers have finally been re-plumbed so I started focusing of getting my pool chemically balanced. The water is very cloudy at the deep end so my thought was I must be low on something, I was at "0" for CYA and TA. I added...

The flex pipe looks very damaged going into the skimmer, I would love to remove it completely but the question is how ? So my ideal scenario would be, cut flex pipe right were it meets the bottom of the skimmer Remove the remaining flex pipe from the inside of skimmer Insert a 1-1/2 to 1-1/2...

Thanks zea3... Since I'm planning on going all hard PVC. .. would this work ? 1st skimmer back to elbow ....PVC from elbow to a T connecting .... bring 2nd skimmer to T connection. .. run PVC from T to current PVC ... splice new PVC into current setup in front of pump ... I'm just worried...

Hello all, So I had this topic posted before but I guess it was deleted. I started this project last Saturday but was pulled away, today I was able to make some progress. It seems like I am only able to work on this project on Saturdays, which is making me consider getting the professionals...

Re: Repairing my skimmer lines **** ... Well I will cut the concrete and dig out the line until I hit PVC, than hopefully the PVC is good and I will just replace the flex pipe. The funny thing is the pipe that connects both skimmer lines to the pump is under the concrete so at some point I...

Re: Repairing my skimmer lines I had two different pool companies come to work on filter/pump because I thought the issue was air getting in to the system, both companies came to the same conclusion and I was not happy :grrrr: Than they quoted me the price to fix it :ncool: So now I will...

Repairing my skimmer lines Sorry, I originally posted this in wrong forum Hello All I'm going to try and repair my collapsed skimmer lines, I'm breaking the concrete tomorrow :shock: I would just like some information before hand, at some point the flexible pipe turns into PVC. I know...

Hello All I'm going to try and repair my collapsed skimmer lines, I'm breaking the concrete tomorrow :shock: I would just like some information before hand, at some point the flexible pipe turns into PVC. I know that attached to bottom of the skimmers is the flex pipe, but at the pump I...

LOL .... borjis .... I actually hate the fact that they didn't actually investigate and gave me spending thousands of dollars as the only option. I mean if that is actually what it is and my only option I have to fix it seeing how I just bought a new heat pump and paid for the electric to be...

When I look through the skimmer I do see it compressed, not completely it actually looks the way it always has. So it does look compressed but not closed, so if it is a 2 inch pipe I would say it is about 1 1/2 open.

No he didn't, which ****** me off :mad: he eyeballed it, said he could see it from looking in the skimmer. The guy charges me $100 for a service call and gets to my house just looks, gives me his opinion and wants to leave, I don't think so, I had him take the system apart and lube/change O...

Hello all, So I was unable to get the pump to get anything but a slow trickle from the skimmers when I move the intake valve to full skimmers, the filter read 0 Psi, when I set the valve to full drain a decent water flow would start and my Psi was up to 5. I had a service call yesterday from...

No, I have 3 returns but it's funny that you mention the returns. I see water being pumped out only one return, the one closes to the pump ???

Hello All, I connected everything and made sure it was all tight, filled the pump basket with water and loosen the air realize on my filter. I set the valve to filter plugged in the pump and waited for air to escape, air was escaping and water was being pulled from the skimmer/drain (I had the...
