Inlet water circulation

by FixMePool » Sun 06 Apr, 2008 23:19

First post

Hello,

Is there an ideal configuration to point the inlet water streams for a better circulation and better skimming? I couldn't find anything...

Last post

They should all point in the same direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) and should be pointed slightly down.

My pool pump psi was at 55, but when I turned the pump off, it dropped to 40. Does it sound like there is something wrong with the gauge? The pump...

Last post

Yeah if the gauge is only reading 40 with everything off then its most likely to gauge. I'm assuming you've cleaned your filter lately. Gauges are...

Last post

No you need to use sand that is sized correctly and that would be pool sand. Try Home Depot or Lowes for a better price.

multiway valve

Hi

Just bought a house with a pool and am trying to fathom out the pump system.

The settings are waste, backwash, rinse, filter, recirculate...

Last post

Rinse after backwashing to keep debris from shooting back into pool. Recirculate simply keeps the water moving without filtering.

A check valve on the return line to the spa should do the trick, especially if it is real close to the spa itself.
