    Filter draining through solar valve

    I believe the check valve should be after the filter, it is on mine anyway.

    Help with Skimmer!!

    The skimmer bolts to the pool wall, no rebar or concrete needed. I (think) I attached the install instructions from Hayward, otherwise, search for Hayward Auto Skim install. That wall looks pretty crusty, not sure if it has existing holes or not. You may need to patch with a piece of steel...

    Liner Pool - Big Oops

    It looks like it would work, but I wouldn't use it. Being PVC I would worry about it holding up over time and the liner coming out or the track breaking.

    Pellet grills

    I have been using my pit boss AustinXL for about a year, and absolutely love it. I went with a Pit Boss from a coworker recommendation and cost. Also @jseyfert3 has one. They have great customer service, one of my wheels got a flat spot and they sent new wheels with some rubs. I would buy it...

    New solar install - 2 speed pump, significant bubbling on low

    This is what I did. I moved mine from the top header to the lower, and it works great. I was getting air with a single speed pump.

    Hot Springs Hot Tub not so Hot

    Thanks that helps a bunch. The elbow out of the heater has what looks like jb weld on it from previous owner. Then the small line goes up from the pump and t's off. That t is broken. I'll change it all out. Thanks for the help

    Hot Springs Hot Tub not so Hot

    New heater installed. Filed up tub. Leaking from t fitting above pump. There is a small (1/4"?) Tube coming out of heater circ pump that t's off. Not sure where either goes. The plastic t broke. I will source one, but what it's it for? Ozone maybe. My ozone gen is long gone. Do I need it...

    Hot Springs Hot Tub not so Hot

    I'm pretty sure its the IQ2000. It does have the No-fault 6000. I pulled the heater connections off the relay and put the probes on the relay and got something like 238 volts. I then pot the meter on ohms and stuck each probe in the disconnected heater wires and got nothing. I have been...

    I have 220 at heater, and checked a house outlet to confirm meter working. I do have a manual reset on the heater. I pushed it, but it didn't seem to do anything.

    Hot Springs Hot Tub not so Hot

    I did check an outlet it's 120, so it's working. I guess I'll be ordering a new heater. @RDspaguy you have a favorite place to order from? Thanks for all the help

    Hot Springs Hot Tub not so Hot

    Thank's for the replies. I do have 220 at the heater. The display does work. This model doesn't show the current temp just the set temp. I checked resistence across the heater wires and showed nothing (not zero, blank) on the pos meter. I'll have to get a better one.

    Hot Springs Hot Tub not so Hot

    I have an old (1999) Hot Spring tub that won't heat. We turn the temp down during the week to 85, then turn up on Friday to enjoy the weekend use. It has been turned down since the first week of Feb, too cold to use it. This past Thursday I turned it up to 104 like usual. Friday afternoon I...

    You still enjoying the Pit Boss? I know you haven't had it long. I'm thinking about picking one up myself. Would you buy it again?

    Losing water & possible sand filter pressure leak

    I have the same issue, but no water loss that I can tell. I bought a new MPV last year (generic) as mine was old and worn out. It worked great last year. I just opened the pool last weekend, and thought everything was good. When I went to start the pump in the morning, it was empty and...

    New build for 2002 Sundance Optima 850

    I do not envy you. That is a lot of work. I need to chase some leaks on my tub, it's been leaking since "new to me" about 3 years. I don't even want to start tearing it apart. Good Luck.

    Brrr - extreme cold predicted. Question....

    I turn mine down to 80 every week, and back to 104 for the weekend shenanigans. I don't think it will get turned up this weekend

    Pool Heating options

    In my opinion, the younger the kids the less they care about water temp, just want to get in. I'm in Wisconsin where it never gets warm. The first couple of years we had the pool we could only float most of the time, water was too cold. Last year I put up solar panels, 1/2 coverage of pool...

    Can Someone Help Me With My Solar Heater?

    Last week my pool gained about 15 degrees, and then lost it all this weekend with the cold and rain. Looking at the pics has me wondering about the red broken handle valve, does this usually stay in the open position, which it appears to be in, or do you move it? In my system there is a check...
