Problem with PV3 in floor cleaner

16 years ago

I have 2 pop ups that lose their cap whenever the system is run. I think the pressure is too high on my system. I can take the heads out, pop the cap back on, replace the head, and it the cap will pop right back off next time that zone is run.

When running in the spa, the pressure is about 30 psi. Shouldn't the pressure be between 12-18psi? Currently the in-floor system runs on it's own 3/4 hp pump with all flow returning to the in-floor. Seems like the pad needs to be plumbed so some of that water is returned through the normal returns to reduce the pressure on the in-floor. Thoughts?

Filter pump is on the left, in-floor pump in the middle, and water feature pump on the right.
