Does this system include a unionized gate valve to isolate the system for maintenance? If not, how do you stop the water flow to change the cartridge or clean out the leaf filter? And how long would shipping take to zip code 15522 if I ordered this morning? Thanks, Harry
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/2/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Harry, This system does not include a Gate Valve, but we would suggest this Gate Valve here. We have this pump and filter system in stock and shipping to your zip code would be 3-5 business days.

What size Union coupling does this have? Also, can I attach a valve on the drain to vacuum to waste?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/10/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

The union between the pump and the filter is a 2" union. For the port going into the pump this does not have a union and has a 1-1/2" hose adapter fitting. Yes you could use a valve on the drain to vacuum to waste. You may also consider this Hayward Valve which goes between the pump discharge port and the filter.

why is it so hard to replace the top of the filter once it has been cleaned. I can never seem to get the top on correctly. any suggestions?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/6/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi Maribeth, Make sure that the cartridge sits correctly into the filter, and that the o-ring is lubricated. That will allow the filter to go back on smoothly.

How do you set the filter system for an automatic pool vacuum?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/23/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alan M.

The filter doesn't have any special setting to operate a pool vacuum. The filter would only need to be cleaned occasionally to maintain proper flow. You may need to adjust the skimmer and main drain valves in front of the pump in order to increase or decrease the suction. I would recommend following your pool cleaners installation guide to install the automatic pool vacuum properly.
