Thank you for that. I never shopped for these before so I hope these type of unions are easy to find. I will glue on half of the new union and then screw on to the existing pipes that have the other half of the union on their end if I follow correctly.

See those three unions (screw on collars) on each of the three pipes leading to the multi port valve? When I buy a new multi-port valve for the purposes of connecting it to the plumbing do I need to just buy the plumbing parts from the valve to the union? It appears with my existing valve that...

Thanks. According to the label in the picture is the service factor 1.10? I am not sure that is the correct reading but my pump is 2hp so would wouldn't I need to get another 2 hp or 1.5 uprated is sufficient to be comparable to the old motor?

When I asked for a pump recommendation I should have mentioned I want to replace the whole thing from the pump all the way to the basket because there is a small water leak and I'm sure it's coming from the pump or from somewhere around the basket but since it's so old I want to replace the...

I was generally happy with the amount of turbulence caused by the Jets but the pump was already running really loud so I am sure it wasn't running at it's optimal condition

I'm sorry I don't understand what do you need me to take a picture of, another part of the pump? or what is the wet end?

Thanks. Any recommendations on a cheap but reliable solution?

Here is my old pump - it is dedicated soley to the jets in my spa for making the water bubbly. It is dead. It is really old. I want a new pump and wondered if today's smaller and maybe cheaper pumps can do the work this dinosaur did. If you need to recommend an equivalent 2.0HP pump then so...

Hi Sargent - I had a question about the new jandy valve vs. the olld ortega valves. It would be cheaper to go with the Jandy but would requireme to cut off the existing ortega valves and install the Jandy's. What I think may help me decide is currently what I do is stick a hose into one of...

I posted a question about waterfall pulp losing priming and I think it is because the end caps to each line had missing springs and check valve housings on each ortega spring check valve housing. It is weird - I bought the house 2 years ago and just noticed that there are no springs or housing...

When I turn on the waterfall pump it does not always prime so I open the check valve and stick a hose and add water until it starts filling up and pushes water out then I screw the cap back on before full force o f the water pushes back. I then wait and open the valve slightly to let out air...

I am two years into running old pool equipment that I think has been around since the late 80's or early 90's. The filter may be newer and some of the valve controllers but here is what I want to do: Jandy VS 1.5 HP pump to replace old single speed replace 2.0 HP spa pump with new one (old...

Maybe I was not clear, I only see air when I close the other two valves. To maximize suction I close the first valve and the skimmer valve I close half way. My navigator moves but based on the flow gauge it comes with to measure ideal suction I am not getting enough. So the next logical step...

I am not getting enough suction to power the navigator so I assumed 2HP would do the trick. I cannot close the 2nd valve because if I close it fully the pump starts straining and air is introduced into the pump - it is like the pump cannot pull in enough water through the suction line only fast...

ok, so if I stick with the valve placement - do I go to 2HP ?

Hi - I switched from a barracuda to a navigator because I find the navigator better at picking up the eucalyptus leaves. I have seen better suction pressure when I backwash the pump and I have checked for the common problems with suction. I do have a rather old 1.5 HP pump. The question I had...
