Thanks I was thinking about that and tried to be cheap. Hearing your inpul I’ll bite the bullet and get a Jandy.@Nochain I don't know what is glued and what is not. I would remove and replace the PVC valves with never-lube (like you have on the suction side). The PVC valves will lock up over time. Never-lubes can be rebuilt. Sucks to cut them out and replace when they do fail. Better to do it now. Ask me how I know.
"a" jandy? You have 4 PVC valves in the picture...get a Jandy
To be able to back wash the cyclone filter easier. It was in the instructions.@Nochain Why do you have a valve between the pump and the filter?
The three on the outlet side are legacy. I also never use them. I might change those in the future."a" jandy? You have 4 PVC valves in the picture...
You must use them...they are turned off...I also never use them. I might change those in the future.
Not a big deal as that section has unions and can be remade fairly easily. However, I like to avoid remaking thing.Hearing your inpul I’ll bite the bullet and get a Jandy.
For the 1.5": (not recommending poolzoom, just showing the valve.What type of valves should be used on the outlet side? Looks like a 3/4” and 1.5” pipe? Maybe I’ll redo those as well. Just not sure what to use.
Left main output to wall ports. Center is the aerator and the right line is water fall feature that is a mess to use.@Nochain To help, what are your input and output lines going to, left to right?
Oh and I have one question. The 220V line comming in has a conduit gnd clamp with the wire all curled up in the picture. Should that be connected to a ground rod? If so how long does that rod need to be?
Thanks makes sense. Reminds me of solving ground loop issues on HAM equipment.That's a "bonding" wire, not a ground wire. The bonding wire needs to be attached to all your equipment - the pump, Circupool controller box and the timer/sub-panel.
Bonding is the process by which the electrical and metallic components of the pool are joined together with a wire to form a non-resistive path between the components. The goal of bonding is to connect, contain and prevent the transmission of any harmful electrical voltage to pool equipment, people and pets.
