I dont think the fitting is causing the discoloration on the steps. Water chemistry may be the cause of this. That fitting appears to be jet with a one piece housing. What makes me think that is the air inlet valve above it up on the edge of the pool. There is probably no way to replace that...

Not a heat pumper, so im out. I would recommend ridged pipe to replace the flex in there now. Over time and chems, the flex wall can swell causing restriction. Other advice may be to just run a short flex piece between the ridged and the pool wall for a little movement (give) since the...

Im a little foggy. Did the pool drop while the pump was running? or when you had it turned off and the filter was apart?

I have never tried one of those, so i don't know how well they work. From the video, it looks like you cram it up in there pretty good. How would you get it out of there if you needed to? It (also) looks as though you have to remove the light fixture to thread the cord through the plugs' hole...

Offgrid, Did you get the two 18' round solar covers online? Where?

What kind of gas appliance is directly above the heater? My concern is, that while the pool heater is running, exhaust could be drawn into that exhaust while the appliance is off, and possibly into the house. Carbon monoxide has no smell, so how could you know? How long has this equipment...

Just stick around, you'll learn enough (here) to call him on some thing soon... ...and be right.

Canuck, If that guy had no association with your pool store, you could pretty much slam him in front of your customer if you want. But when your store refers him, or you are subbing him out, you need to be careful about what you say in front of the customer about him. Because in a way, he is...

Sorry if this is little after the fact. Paramount made pop up heads that ratchet 8 times to complete one rotation. Then they changed that to 16 positions for one rotation. Each position takes approximately one min. How many modules you have, make the difference at this point. one module...

Paramount says all but 3 to 5 percent. All your down jets, and fixed heads, must be operating perfectly (correct pressure/flow) to get this number.

Use very little de. this is mainly to help with later cleaning of the cartridge. Not really to help with filtering. I practice this. and have not had any real difference in the clarity of water either way, i do it for the ease of cleaning.

Corsair, If you're still out there, those white pine needles are probably your pool brush coming apart. Thats what they do when they sit in the sun for too long.

Scott, You may find this to be helpful/less hassle, First the pool must have little or no Cl. This is usually not a problem because thats why your there. What i do is unscrew (crack) the down stream side union and let it leak. it don't need to leak much because your just filling up a vile to...

That goes for the sensor too (certain models).

1:1 or 1 part water to 1 part acid is 50% Or do you mean 1 part water to 1 part 20% acid? Anyway, i use a product thats called filter blaster. And i've had REAL good luck with it. 2 cents...

Normally, i would agree. But after >6 years? I'm not sure i would spend the time on them (these days...).

Buy what you have written, it sounds like the Aux's labels may have been changed. maybe the best thing would be to clear the memory and start over. Thats the easy way, but its destructive, meaning it will erase your programs as well. You can also go in and correct the problem areas if you feel...

With a system 3, you'll know when they need to be replaced if: After you clean them you will notice about the same pressure drop as usual, only now the pressure will rise back up to your "need to clean" pressure within a week. Maybe even a couple of days. As noted above, note the clean...

I would suggest that you call Pentair directly. Since its a software issue, the only way to get the update is to get a new board. You didn't pay to live with a "glitch".

Warranty call is the best way to go at this point. You more than likely have one of the left over "problem" units and will probably have to be replaced. Make sure the warranty-er replaces with ver.2.0 or better. Take the cover off the power center for the ic-40. Its the box the cell plugs...

Sorry ale, But i live on the west coast and we generally don't close pools (for the winter) in my area, so i can't really give experienced advice. I didn't understand your last question. "Do I miss anything to work on this device? What kind of plugs should I buy?"

I don't know how to treat the canister for winter, but i can tell you what the holes are for. As you are facing the pool with the canister at your feet: bottom hole closest to the pool: usually not used, may have a short piece of pipe glued into it to be able to glue a cap onto it Bottom hole...

Whoa, deja vu dude...
