Aurora semi inground pool

[lattedah]

If u have the pump off - it may make air noises as u pass between selections as the vessel has pressure built up in it & u are opening different ports which directs the air inside (& the water when it’s running) to a new place.
My handle squeaks when i move it too.
Always move it in the same direction .
I only go clockwise.

I always move it clockwise and stop at every setting then move to the next.

Yes there is air in the pump strainer, right under the dome of the lid.
Yes 2" and 4" length. I will have to look tomorrow to see what couplings he used. If they are all DWV will they all have to be replaced ?

They should be as DWV fittings aren’t rated for pressure. They will “work” but I wouldn’t chance it on my pool.

I assume when you turn up the pump the bubble disappears. Does the crackling stop then?

The crackling stops when the pump is on. The bubble disappears on high speed but is there on low speed

I couldn't see a stamp on the couplings but the pipes are DWV. I will bring this up with him tomorrow.

I couldn't see a stamp on the couplings but the pipes are DWV.

Pipes are often dual rated.

A pipe can be dual rated ASTM D 1785 and ASTM D 2665, but it has to say ASTM D 1785 if it's going to be used for pressure.

Thank you for the link. I will have to look tomorrow at the pipe


I found a picture on my phone that shows the pipe is - unfortunately - D2665

You sure it is not stamped ASTM D 1785 further down on the pipe?

I will have to look tomorrow when there is daylight.

Thanks to everyone for the information !

These are the pictures I have on my phone right now.

Checked out the pipes and they have the D1785 stamp ! What a relief !

Are the 90s marked Schedule 40 in molded letters?

I can’t tell the depth of the hub from the pic.

Yes they are marked Schedule 40

What should the water level be In the cell tube ?

Rotate the cell so the hump is down.
