Hi All, I'm replacing a manifold on my Thermospa tub. When connection .75" ID (1" OD) hose to the manifold barbs or jet barbs, do you use PVC glue, or just use the clamps? Or something else? From what I can tell the manufacturer just used the clamps as I was able to remove the hoses with some heat and gentle twisting, but I'd like some input on the best way to put this back together. Thanks, Rob -
Hi All, I've got a 2009 ThermoSpa that developed a leak last week. I've identified the source and it is a water manifold. It appears to be leaking from the dead-end (I have some questions about how it may have happened, but I'll post those in a separate thread). I'm having trouble figuring out what parts to order to make this repair. The pipe that leads from the pump to the manifold is 1.5" but most if not all water manifolds I'm finding have 2" slip connections. I've included a bunch of pictures with caliper measurements in the hope that someone can help me find the correct parts. I'm speculating that somewhere around the 45' angle there is a 1.5" to 2" converter and the manifold is actually 2", but not really sure. I'm pretty sure the barbs on the manifold need to be 3/4" based on the 1" OD of the hoses. This seems to be pretty standard. Any guidance to the correct parts would be very appreciated. My plan is to cut the 1.5" pipe and make the repair from there with an extension and slip. Thanks, Rob

I have a Hayward cartridge filter with four cartridges. The top closure plate (manifold) is broken in two places along the flat part around the part that fits inside the cartridge. It seems to still fit ok, but I've started having a problem with brown silt at the bottom of my pool and cloudy water. I've replaced the cartridges and used Pool First Aid, and ran the filter overnight. This seemed to clear things up for a day, but the cloudiness and bottom silt have returned. Chlorine and pH levels are normal. Is it likely that the problem is, in fact, that I just need to replace the top closure plate? I've ordered one just in case. I run my pump 8 hours a day, and am also wondering if it might help to run it 10 hours. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!
