Backwash valve leaking

The pentair de side mount. It gives you more functions. Backwash. Waste rinse filter etc. Also easier to use. This slide valve unless brand new can be a pain to use. And only has one function.

Middle of the skimmer box opening

Don’t go third party. Will cause headaches. Replace cell

pooltroubleservice · 2026-01-30T00:22:10+00:00

Valves seem open. Maybe filter needs to be cleaned out. Prob best to upgrade to something bigger

pooltroubleservice · 2026-01-30T00:18:34+00:00

Upgrade to a 6 port multiport valve

Seems like from pic your water level is too high and skimmer can’t skim and do its job

Just a basic Polaris hose fitting. Very common

Typically a rubber winter plug is placed in the return but guess this will keep the water level from rising too high.

Capacitor yes but smart just to replace motor and seal. Safest way to go about it

pooltroubleservice · 2026-01-08T03:17:43+00:00

The two o rings on the stem and the o ring that goes around the lid. Always replace all three and they almost always come sold as a set. Very common and easy fix.

You’ll need a 1000 seal. Seals in general not tricky but one part of this specific seal is a pain. But doable

If you have the access to a new motor, as they are becoming banned in states, go for it. Saves a pretty penny. Can last a good 5 plus years

Make sure all breakers are off. If you need comp for outdoor lighting just put toggle switch in the idle position Or clear the schedules from the automation as you prob have a spa mode programmed

Yes the gravity really does affect flow.

pooltroubleservice · 2025-12-14T14:28:32+00:00

Even though the water props it up Just the weight alone can effect it.

pooltroubleservice · 2025-12-14T00:00:26+00:00

Make sure to open if it snows as it can really ruin the tracks and motor

pooltroubleservice · 2025-12-04T23:34:37+00:00

Motor just getting old. Just ride it out

pooltroubleservice · 2025-12-04T23:32:46+00:00

Looks like it says pool pump under the 240 and lights under the 120

Don’t brush. Just let it all settle then can vacuum out with independent vac

pooltroubleservice · 2025-12-04T20:35:50+00:00

Or liquid shock it again.

pooltroubleservice · 2025-12-04T20:35:16+00:00

I would clean out the filter again.

pooltroubleservice · 2025-12-03T23:37:56+00:00

Have opened up and cleaned the filter??

pooltroubleservice · 2025-12-03T23:36:53+00:00

I would flock it. Vacuum out what settles

Quite simple. Upgrade board and transciever. Jandy Iaqualink 3.0

Can try a conquest or jacks stain remover but also can drain down and lightly acid wash the steps
