With this product there is an additional and MAJOR consideration to make when purchasing the CYCLONE. Understand that the CYCLONE will filter OUT dirt very nicely but it will also filter out mostly ALL slow dissolving pool products and of course any diatomaceous earth (DE) you put in the pool skimmer for the DE filter system grids. But any seasoned pool owner/maintainer knows adding DE and/or pool water maintenance products through the skimmer is common throughout the year and unless you can "bypass" or remove the CYCLONE the result will end up in the bottom of the CYCLONE. (which looks like the situation in this video) I have and love the CYCLONE but with a DE pool it was obvious for the sake of ease and to reduce wear and tear on couplings I purchased and installed the CYCLONE "bypass" and am glad I did. I simply turn the bypass valve, add my pool products as directed through the skimmer wait a few minutes and then return the bypass valve to the "filter" position. I bought my kit from DISCOUNT SALT POOLS for $84.99. (I don't work for or know who Discount Salt pools are I just liked the price) I am on month 6 after cleaning and install and my bypass and my DE pressure gauge has increased ONLY 5 PSI. I would have cleaned it at least three times by now this year.

Where's the inner lid and hold-down bar??? The inner lid is an integral part of the proper operation.

Aren't you worried about the bar the flap rotates on binding when you apply the epoxy next to it? Your video is the only one I've seen recommending the epoxy be apllied there.

Thanks for this video AZ Pool Techs. What is the make and model of the flush fitting lid with big grips?

Try putting your system in service mode and drain your cyclone... you may need to open your drain line off your filter to relieve pressure. With your drained cyclone start your pool pump on high speed with the cyclone open and watch the dirt gush out.

Its fine to replace a standard with a Venturi when the break but at $70 a pop for the heads its not worth the upfront investment just for electricity savings.

What can be done if the cleaning heads keep popping out? I have one that doesn't like to stay put.

What model Venturi’s and how much $ do they run?

Yo fellas, can you guys shoot me a number, or hit me up please. I purchased the same exact light and it just recently went out. If you can reach out, ill appreciate it. Thank you.

Ty! Very helpful video!

Any ideas on why it’s difficult to remove a couple of the pop ups?

Hey! Nice video! My pool is about 3 years old and pop ups barely pop up anymore. How often should gears be swapped out?

I want to see the jets in action lol

My Cyclone has dirt/algae in the bottom that won’t wash out. How do you take it apart to clean manually?

I have a inground pool with caretaker in floor cleaners but I have one that keeps popping out how can I get it to stay in

Wow.... trash... you’re lazy as fuck.. I have an idea. let’s replace things which are not broken cuz you don’t know shit about infloor systems.. that looks like absolute shit too. did one thing for... sure did use a shit ton of unnecessary martial. You need to get good at chip and peeling pvc and stop removal of parts which are still fully operational.

Are you still around

Hey man, do you recommend deleting the pop up system altogether and running a vacuum line?

It would help to see the when you put the door on and see skimmer working after the door is set up for abit.

Interestingly, my Desk-clor does not have a standpipe. just a central hole. On the side of the pool, there are two holes, one just seems to go from the pool to the deck-clor chamber, the other has water flowing out of it when deck-clor is turned on. I wonder if it uses Venturi effect to suck water out of the Dek-clor compartment? Pool was built in the early 90's.

To Bad Pentair purchased A & A, and discontinued there lights. So I hope this light lasts or you will need to put in new light

Well done. You are nice and thorough. I appreciate ir

Very nice! I'm in AZ looking for a pool maintenance company that knows what the heck they're doing. I hope you service my area!

Thanks for posting! Been thinking about using these. Glad to know they wont have to be totally emptied to be good enough, and that they really do seem to be effective in catching debris.

Great info. Thanks! It’s my first time owning one. Do they cause fluctuations in filter tank pressure when they switch sets of heads?

Thanks for sharing this info, quick question: if I have a sand filter it’s a good ideal to add the cyclone to my system? Thank you!

... they stain.

Hi, I have the quickskim and the maindrain it's connected to the front port. The bottom port goes to the pump. There is nothing in the skimmer. Do I need a valve to pull from the main drain?

Informative. Can you remove the music?

Do you want the valves that create suction off for best results?

an OK video, does not help if you dont tell us the difference between the 2 heads, you might save some money by running at lower speed but you might also need to run it longer cause the heads dont clean as much as the previous ones, so tell us.. what the difference?

Great video! Just curious, is the side feed better than the top feed ?

Thanks!! This saved me. Found the plastic piece at the very bottom was worn down pretty nicely.

This video just answered a major question I had regarding attaching a vacuum hose!! Thanks so much for the content.

Thanks! 🙏

It'd be alot easier to hear you without that music. Kinda excessive

What part of the valley do you I'm looking for someone to help me with my setup.

What heads should I use fora caretaker system?

Thanks for showing how to remove/install with hammer and screw driver!!

Make a similar video describing the hardware equipment required and supplies used and Psi settings

Thanks for the video. Where to purchase a new reducer; can't find one anywhere.

Remodeling the pool and coverting all the pop ups to a&a. What if the main drain flows into the skimmer before going to the filter. How do you set the pool correctly? How do you make sure the water is being pulled from the main drain?

Any city codes you’ve run into requiring it be run to a p-trap?

My dek-chlor overflows. I have the valve almost all the way off. what next?

Great informative video

I buliding a 32 ft long & 17 ft wide rectangle pool. Should I get(1) 24 watts or (2) 12 watts lights which one would give me more Illumination? Thanks

Awesome video! Interested in starting a tile cleaning service here in west Texas.

Is it true, the stories about pool boys...

do they still sell this retrofit kit? i cant find anywhere to get it online.

I need to install something like this to an existing and full pool. Can I do it without dropping the pool level? Understanding it’ll be a little messy but is there a quick way of getting g a hole and pipe into side of pool.
