    My plumbing...not sure of proper settings

    This is how its plumbed. It is labled like this according to previous oowner. I don't use a pool vac/sweep, (use a robot now) so it would be nice to be able to turn off that valve. I assume the "flap" over the inlet in pool serves same purpose? This pool was built in 1992.

    My plumbing...not sure of proper settings

    I have attached a drawing of my suction side plumbing layout. The only pipe I am sure of is the spa inlet. The other three I am assuming are as labled. I can't figure out why it's plumbed this way and what the roptions would be for adjusting the 2 Jandy valves show on the left.

    Gray sand on the bottom of my pool

    Could it be ash from the fires? I had quite a bit in my pool. It did look like gray sand where it would gather. Made a "puff" like algee, but gray when hit with the brush.

    Poolvergnuegen Pool Cleaner low wheel RPM

    I can only get 7 wheel rpm's out of my pool cleaner. Yesterday I tried turning the pump to 3000+ RPM (quick clean on a Intelliflo pump), and completly closed skimmer line (main drain is always closed). This is using the vac port on side of pool. The cleaner only cleans about an 8 foot diameter...

    Minor Alge "cloud" when brushing

    I brush the pool side and bottom at least once a week, usually more. If I wait 4 days or so what I get when I brush is a slight alge cloud . I bough a vacume head with brushes so that when I brush it would go straing to filter, but the vacume head I bought is next to imposible to push on the...

    Transformer noise

    Likely halogen then. Not sure about the warm up, as usually the light comes on as soon as the switch is flipped. If transformer not likely the problem, what could cause the light to not come on? (actually it didn't come on only one evening and I tried flipping the switch a few times in the...

    Transformer noise

    I don't use the lights often but, I was / am having trouble with the pool light. When switched on, there was a hesitation before the light came on. Then the hesitation went away. Then the light didn't come on at all. I was going to call for service and went to check again. Now the pool light...

    Another newbie in need of valve ID's and operation

    Thank you, I agree the plumbing leaves something to be desired. My yard......we lost our house to a wild fire in 201.7 When we decided to relocate out of the mountains we looked at probably 70 houses (our realtor had some patience) . This was the first one with a sizable yard and not too much...

    Another newbie in need of valve ID's and operation

    I think #2 is indeed the cleaner Picture of pump. Odd it says 4:13a when it is now 3:42p and also now says running speed. I think when it's off it says "running schedule" I will check the schedules per you manual posting this afternoon or tomorrow. For sure need to reset the time. Don't know...

    Another newbie in need of valve ID's and operation

    Posted pictures per your request. Pump is a Pentair Intelliflo 3 HP 0332091140z71Q. As the valve is between pipe #1 and pipe #3 and, if #1 happens to be the cleaner and #2 the skimmer, it looks like it's impossible to shut off the cleaner? thank you

    Another newbie in need of valve ID's and operation

    Hello all, Attaching pictures of my suction side, return side and the pool itself. I recently purchased this house with pool, about all I was told was the pipe on the left was from the spa and the one on the right was the main drain, and to always leave it in off position. The pool does have...
