    Let me get Ben's or Al's attention back to this thread--they're much better with equipment than I, but don't want you to think we're ignoring you...

    I'm afraid I've never seen that filter, and don't really know anything about how to get it apart.

    Sorry.

    ok, so as you guys suspected...the filter gave out...water came out the middle. In any case, nwo we need to do the repairs as you suggested. BUT I cannot really find the pentair tr30. Is there a link you can give me to help me buy it? Is there another option I have? thanks for everything

    I was being stupid: I meant the 24" Pentair TR60 or the 30" TR100, not the fictitious TR24 or TR30.

    couple of other questions...I'm assuming that I can't reuse the spider valve that is currently on mine now since its a top mount now and the tr60 is a side mount. Which valve do I get? there are a couple of options by pentair. Also, I'm hoping that I can just use the pump I currently have since it is working fine and just buy the filter. Lastly, I can do plumbing and hopefully with your help I can purchase the correct parts. Is there any reason to hire this out to a professional? Thanks

    Yes, you have to get a new valve.

    With your small pool, the 1.5" model (SP715x or some such -- I haven't looked) will work OK.

    The pump should be OK; you may want a timer if you don't have one, so you can save on the power bill.

    Regarding plumbing . . . can you plumb 1.5" and 2" PVC successfully? Have you done it before? Often, when plumbing a filter, things get tight and if you don't have some experience, it can be hard to get them to fit together. Yours shouldn't be too hard, and doing so would give you a chance to remove the Hayward feeder and the Nature2.

    Lemme know. Are you wanting just info on POOL parts, or on PVC layout, too?
