Hello all. The venturi style pop-ups in my 35,000-gallon plaster pool have not been rotating at all since last summer. I have checked several pop-ups in the spa and 2 shallowest zones regularly during an 8-hour cleaning period. The water spray remains in the same direction. Debris constantly accumulates in the areas away from the now fixed spray pattern. The 4 cartridge filters in the Pentair CCP525 filter are less than 6 months old and were just cleaned and the filter o-ring replaced. The pressure on the filter is 20 psi. There do not appear to be any obvious leaks in the above ground piping.
The Jandy check valves were replaced last year along with the upper housing for the 6-port pop-up valve (union was cracked). A new gear plate was also installed at this time.
Have been running the VSP seed at a constant 2750 just to keep the bottom of the pool tolerable but frequent brushing and weekly manual vacuuming still required. This system worked well for many years until last summer. The pump high speed setting was the original set-point when installed and was working well.
My pool service company suggests replacing the entire pop-up valve assembly at this time since nothing else is solving this problem. The pool is getting drained and acid washed this weekend.
I am scratching my head over this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?
