Hi, i have an old 1974 Sylvan plaster pool with a 24" American sandpiper sand filter, and a newer waterco 1hp pump. I have one 'main drain' in deep end of diving pool. about 22k gallons i think.
I have an Americana pac fab multiport valve. It has limited settings. It doesn't have 'recirculate' on it. It has 'auxilliary circulation' instead. Problem is I need to get water chemistry right but I can't add chemicals because when I put on 'auxilliary circulation' nothing returns to the pool. fyi-It also doesn't have 'Rinse', but only 'Filter to waste'.
I have 3 white eyeballs, and about 8 blue holes where whips used to be in pool walls. Nothing comes out during 'auxilliary circulation.' When I run 'Filter/vac to pool' with my Baracuda G3 pool cleaner, (cleaner doesn't come out of pool wall. My cleaner hose runs into one of the holes in the skimmer) it does return water through the 'former whip holes'.
It's my understanding i do not want my chemicals going through the filter, but just recirculating in the pool. How can I do that when nothing returns to the pool? Water has green algae in places. I have chemicals ready to go, just no way to recirculate them.
I must point out that there are 3 'faucet handles' near pump that I do not know what they do or how to use them if that helps. thx
