Howdy folks,
If possible, I'd like to cap a rotating Paramount PV3 pool cleaner head that's installed in the top step of my pool. This head is very close to one of the corners of my pool, approx. 6 inches from the wall. When that head pops up at high pump speed in the direction toward the wall / corner of the pool it creates a bubbling / aeration effect similar to a water feature. This isn't a problem in and of itself, but the aeration that occurs seems to significantly contribute to a continuous rise in my pH. When I run the pump consistently at a low RPM that doesn't cause aeration at that head, my pH is much more consistent. This head doesn't seem to contribute much to cleaning due to its position, and I believe I can save a significant amount on chemicals by capping this head so that it does not aerate the water.
Does anyone know if capping a Paramount PV3 head is possible? If a cap isn't available, is there a non-rotating head that could be installed instead that's pointed into the pool vs. into the corner? I think either solution could significantly reduce my chemical costs this season.
Thanks in advance!
