    Side suction and bottom drain problems....I give up.

    My quicklock looks ti be broken. It's not horrible but it's also not air tight. I am going to see if a 6 inch sewer plug will work.

    I was surprised he said what he said. I went back online and saw they had issues a few years agai and redesigned the plates. I love mine so far. Bahhh humbug

    Side suction and bottom drain problems....I give up.

    Ok. Had a local builder with 40 years experience out. He said this is a very rare contraption to see nowadays and he thinks it's made by A&A. They spent 30 to 45 minutes screwing with it and could also NOT get the device to stop overdrawing water and pulling air in. It's a bad design and is...

    Side suction and bottom drain problems....I give up.

    Thanks Jim. Just talked to a local shop here and he has seen them before but has no idea how they operate. Water just seems to flow through and does not fill up like the suction bowl does on the pump. The little plunger lid that fits on top is not secure and pops off easy. I have a builder...

    Side suction and bottom drain problems....I give up.

    Anyone have any advice on this? I guess I can run a fish tape through the lines to confirm if there is a block in the line. The skimmer sock seems like it would have stopped anything from plugging the line though.

    Side suction and bottom drain problems....I give up.

    Yep. Pump simply will not run on the bottom or vacuum port suction side. Gets about a gulp of water then goes dry. I suppose I could fishtail it back to see if something is in the line but I doubt it. Strainer sock was in tact and about 1/2 full of small debris. Hopefully someone has some...

    Side suction and bottom drain problems....I give up.

    What is this contraption and is it why my suction cleaner (polaris maxx) won't operate? No matter the position on the jandy valve, there is little to no suction produced on the side port. This in ground clean out system has water flowing through it as you can see but it's certaiy not sealed to...

    RJ 60 No Salt and No Light

    I will look for the pump and add that. INTERTEC timer and the pu.p.is wired to the timer switch with the pump. I am using the TF100 Pro Salt kit and my results are: FC - 7 TO 8 FAS DPD CC - 0 to 0.5 pH - 7.5 to 7.7 but dropping daily to 7 for TA TA - 200 dropped from 260 on to 70 CH - 250 up...

    RJ 60 No Salt and No Light

    I set it at 20 percent. I just completed a new water opening and about 3 days on SLAM while I get the chemistry mostly set. All I am chasing now is TA which is running about 200 down from 240. Testing with a TFP 100 Pro FC doing a drop test. FC when I started up was 8 ppm and CYA is...

    RJ 60 No Salt and No Light

    Day 1 into my new SWG and when I started the cell showed just above 3000 ppm salt and the green generate light was on. Salt test is 3900 ppm. 2 hours later I check in on it and it show 0000 ppm and no generate light and no low Salt light. Any ideas on what's going on?

    Adding CYA to new water to no effect

    Brush the pool to stir the water? I have those jets that move water all.around pretty vigorously and my pump is on continuous until pool chemistry is set. I power washed the entire pool clean before putting back in service.

    Adding CYA to new water to no effect

    Great. I will go off of that then. I am hoping the small granular won't do anything to my pebbletech lining.

    Adding CYA to new water to no effect

    Hi. I am adding 100% granular (clorox) to my pool and and still not registering anything in my sight glass. Start is 0 ppm and pool math says to add about 5 to 6 pounds to bring levels into 50s. I need to get to 70ppm for SWG eventually. After 2 days and 90% of 4 pounds dissolved....I am...

    Do i need to add Calcium and Salt when opening on a new SWG

    Lol. Previous owners said 17 to 20K. Found old paperwork that said 16 to 17.5K. Ol faithful city water meter says....12,567. Thankfully I am easing chemicals in, though I was shooting for 14FC and got 20.

    Do i need to add Calcium and Salt when opening on a new SWG

    Exactly what I am doing. Plus or minus normal use like showering etc. I assume it's +/- 200 gallons.

    Do i need to add Calcium and Salt when opening on a new SWG

    FC = 1 CC = .5 pH = 7.5 TA = 280 CH = 125 CyA = 0 Salt = 400 Berates = ?? I am converting to an RJ60 SWG. Guesstimate on pool size is 15000 to 17000 gallons. Pool is Gunite with pebbletec lining. Power washed clean yesterday. Questions. 1. Do I need to mess with TA? 2. Is low CH a problem...

    Do i need to add Calcium and Salt when opening on a new SWG

    I have a RJ60 a bit oversized for my pool. My CH is around 125. I need to add 13 bags of salt for the SWG. Do I need to add additional calcium also? Pool math says I need 46 pounds of calcium.

    Pebbletec has greenish tint...how to clean?

    Turns out it was a mix of green and brown algae, scum, and dirt. I drained completely and pressure washed the entire pool. Good times....
