This Pent - Air FNS Plus D.E filter is doing an excellent job at filtering all 20,000 gallons of water. Currently, the filter is equipped with 8 fairly new grids. This filter should not encounter any issues for around 1-3 years due to its new grids. This filter as well has a split valve, allowing the filter to be cleaned much less often.

Overall Details

This system is equipped with two ortega valves. Both are properly directing the flow of water, however the suction valves currently have a water leak. The leak should be repaired to prevent unnecessary water loss. In order to heat both the pool, leave the valves in the original position. When wanting to isolate and just heat the spa, move top and bottom valves to the opposite position. Lastly when desiring to heat both pool and spa, but utilize the spa jets at the same time, only move the top valves from original filtering position.
