What is the normal valve setting for my pool?
Skimmer, Main Drain, Pool Returns, and Stair Jet valves should be in the Open position (The red handle in the vertical position). The VAC valve should be closed (The red handle in the horizontal position). For pools with a SPA, the SPA Drain should be closed and the SPA Jets open. Note: Try to run your pool for at least 8 hours every day (4 hours should be before peak sun and 4 hours afterwards.) Filter pressure should be between 7 &18 psi (you can check this by reading the pressure gauge on your filter).Tip: To make the stair jets more powerful, close the pool return valve then crack it open to ensure you have some water flow if the stair jets get plugged for any reason. This will keep your pump from burning up.
