    Compool CVA-24 Valve Actuator Issue/Replacement

    Well.... I didn't get any replies or help with this one so I ordered switches from Digi Key, they had fast shipping and the install was super easy. Works like a charm. The only think I have noticed (so it seems) the the actuator does not do an exact 180 turn as it once did. It seems like it...

    Compool CVA-24 Valve Actuator Issue/Replacement

    I have two of these same actuators. I took one off last year to replace the 3 way Jandy and never put it back on. NOW i tried and the motor is not lined up where I can install it and when tried to flip the switch on manually (to get the gears to move so they line up) the motor won't go in...

    repair to Triton II Sand filter, air relief body assy, crack

    Cool idea on the valve assy fix. I might try that one before taking it off and epoxy the inside. I have always heard the same and ALWAYS went clockwise. I "may" have backwashed one time in the winter and turned it with slight ice inside and caused the problem. Otherwise I have no idea why it...

    repair to Triton II Sand filter, air relief body assy, crack

    Dave, you are always good for for helpful replies. THANK YOU. 1. I didn't have a sub assembly part number but now that I have checked the web, everyone says it is obsolete and you have to order the 273564. So back to the 60-100. 2. The $8 gauge is lasting one year approx. Glass was even...

    Backwashing

    I piped mine about 40', silghtly up hill and away from my equipment since it would run down hill andagainst my neighbors home :-0 I now let it go into the woods that are behind their house. If they ever clear their back yard I suppose I will have to go another 80' to let it reach the street...

    repair to Triton II Sand filter, air relief body assy, crack

    I guess the hard winter in Georgia has caused damage to my filter and multiport. Yesterday I backwashed and when I put the multiport back on "filter" I didn't notice that all the water did not completely divert back to the pool. My flow gauge was operating and I saw the flow to the pool so I...

    I Want to add flowmeter, Recommendation brand & placement

    I just wanted to close this post out with a photo of my finished project. I didn't see a whole lot of information on flowmeters or installation on TFP so I thought I would update my post. It took me one year to get around to putting in a flow meter but finally I got around to it and it...

    Best way to cool down pool temp

    Thanks whoozer for the heads up and jjparish for the link. I could not get it to come up under the search. Probably because he said "cooler" instead of "cooling". I wish there were some close up photos so I could see how he made the PVC device. Post any additional help to build this cooler...

    Best way to cool down pool temp

    Dave, Can you post a picture close up of the actual fountain you built? Nice job and thanks for all the ideas for cooling. I have a fountain for my spa and could let that spill over into the pool but I was thinking that would cause a huge amount of evaporation. My water temp is also...

    I Want to add flowmeter, Recommendation brand & placement

    Ok Aquaman95 I'm now a little lost. :? I just want to know the flow so I can change the RPM's and match it to the right speed to save energy and turn the pool over at least once a day. I guess it will help determine filter status of dirt too. I could just use the charts and experience of...

    I Want to add flowmeter, Recommendation brand & placement

    ideas? I had another idea of where to put the flowmeter. In this photo, the flow meter base would be at ground level. I could dig out the dirt around the pipe to install the bands around it and then just put gravel back under it and around it. I don't think water would ever sit around it...

    I Want to add flowmeter, Recommendation brand & placement

    Re: I Want to add flowmeter, Recommendation brand & placemen What about if I put the SWG in the horizontal run out of the heater and then put the flow meter where the SWG is today on the vertical return line? That means the water would go thru the valve T and then thru a 90 and then I could...

    I Want to add flowmeter, Recommendation brand & placement

    I have an Intelliflow 4X160 pump. This pump is designed to help you save money on energy by a variable speed RPM setting. It appears the best way is to observe the GPM with a flow meter. So, I want to add a flow meter and need recommendations for the brand and placement. The things I have...
