I max my pump RPM in SPA mode which increases the pressure. Depending on the number of jet,s it would be normal to see the restriction cause a rise in pressure.

Same problem here. Even with a new gasket on the diverter, it still leaks. I'm about to switch to a cartridge, but for now I put a pipe plug in the back wash line. I take it out when I need to backwash.

I buy all my Jandy stuff thru ebay.

My skimmer line clogged with pine needles. I jumped in the pool with a 50 snake and unclogged it.

I have the Jandy E Pump 2.7. that works with my iaqualink.

My Jandy Epump has an auxiliary load circuit designed to run a chlorine generator.

I only use the "Red Hot Blue Glue" like you are talking about. I seems to be the best, but some people do not like how messy it looks.

The intematic fit, but they are junk. Pony up for the Jandy's.

I always have a small amount running to my main drain. I open it all the way when I'm brushing the pool, then push all the debris down to the main. For this reason alone I think it is worth having the main drain.

That sounds like too much for evaporation. With the average high temperature at 100+ and humidity in the low teens, I never lose more that 1/4" per day.

I think your current setup with separate pump is the best way to do it. If your spa and pool share the same pump in the set up you propose, you could not run the spa and waterfall at the same time. May not be an issue for you. I speak from experience as I have a large slide and just about the...

Use glue fitting with unions where you would like to be able to disassemble. The pump inlet and outlet, filter connections, heater, etc.

Adjust the 3 valves until you get a good balance.

I just buy the hair nets by the case and toss them out each day.

I get best performance at 3 1/2 inches of water going into the skimmer.

I have my system plumbed the same way as the OP. I have the valves set to have all the return water run thru the heater with no added pressure observed on the filter gauge. That proves my heater is not restrictive.

I have a SR Smith Vortex slide that requires a max of 30GPM for the water supply. I currently have it plumbed via a 3 way valve from my 2 hp main pump which runs both the pool and spa. The issue is that I can't run the slide and heat the spa at the same time. My plan is to add a new 110v pump...

Why do the mfgs use 60 PSI? The reason is if the pump can produce the pressure, you should be able to monitor it. My car has a 180mph speedometer, don't use much more than half of it either. I backwash at 25psi or so. Been doing it that way for 16 years now with no issues.

My filter runs at 18-19 clean and has went to 32+ when dirty. 60 psi is perfect because operating range is close to mid range.

Pull the top off. If the spider gasket and laterals look good, go for it.
