It looks like the crimp is mostly above ground. Here is a bigger picture: Thanks, Byron Is the melted/squeezed pipe above ground? Or was it unearthed and exposed?

So, if I'm understanding you the possible problem would be pressure and not GPM. The HW company only mentioned the GPM as a mis-match. How can I tell what the pressure should be for the filter and if the pump is within that range? Also, any idea what the squeezed pipe could be caused by. The HW said the pump ran dry and it boiled the water and it melted the pipe. That pipe is bringing water from the pool. Between that pipe and the pump is the pumps screen filter. It doesn't make sense to me that nothing would happen to the screen filter (plastic) but would the plastic pipe. Thanks, Byron

I have a cartridge filter system that says the maximum GPM is 100. I have a Sta-Rite 1.5 hp pump. The filter is now leaking and the home warranty company is saying the filter is not designed to handle that size of a pump. How can I figure out how many GPM the pump puts out? The model of the pump is P6E6F-207L. The filter is a System 3. In addition, I noticed the 2" conduit from the pool has collapsed. How can this happen?

Thanks for the responses and diagram. I do not have a water feature. One thing I'm trying to figure out is how to keep the Spa warm. I'll explain. The pool person put a 60 minute timer on the spa. I have to turn it and the spa heats up and the jets operate. However, when the timer expires the spa heat is then "mixed" with the pool water and quickly cools. I'm not sure why this is happening. I was trying to noodle out where all the pipes go and see if there is a work around. Any ideas? Thanks, Byron

Sorry about that. Try this link: http://s991.photobucket.com/albums/af38/bwise121/?action=view&current=4437449793_02e268ff2a_b.jpg Thanks, Byron

I have a home with a built in pool and spa. I have no idea what all the pipes and valves do. I'm hoping someone can give me an idea of how my system or a any pool system like mine works. Here is a pic of the pool equipment: Any links on tutorials, etc. would be appreciated too. Thanks, Byron
