Hey guys, had a severe monsoon come through last night and lets just say my pool is dirty, dirty, dirty. I've cleaned the pool filters twice already, just dirt coming out upon wash out of filters. The water has a green tone to it, surprisingly the pH (7.5) and Chlorine (5.2) are normal along...

Yeah, got it from PoolMath, dually noted.. Thank you

I appreciate the input guys! Here are the current readings as of this morning: The water is crystal clear. FC-10: Goal 6 pH- 7.4: Goal 7.6 TA- 130 CH- 300 CYA-50

Correction on the post above- The SLAM/Shock that was preferred (Pool Guy), was in-part to alleviate the Algae in the pool as both Algae and FC where totally off. That being said, the readings from my water test was done after the fact. As for as crystal clear water, I guess the water is clear...

The pool is actually cloudy! Any idea why? I know the filter do need to be replaced within the next 4 months.

Good Morning- After shocking the pool to re-balance, below are the readings from the Taylor K-2006. This was done two weeks ago and last week 1 gallon of liquid chlorine was added. Test was done this morning at 7:30am FC-11 PPM (Didn't get CC reading) PH-7.2 TA- 100 PPM CH- 340 PPM CYA- 60...

As I stated above, I'm not sure how old the filter is. What determines if I should completely replace the filter/housing? Does anyone know the type of filter is pictured? I can't seem to locate any information on it. Could I get away with jus replacing the cartridge if the sqft for the filter is...

Need a bit more help with some selections. I've decided to swap out the, the old motor, filter and replace the valves. Need some help on the following: Replacement variable speed pump (1/2 or 2hp?), leaning towards Pentair.Looking for Energy Efficient, low operational cost. Few model...

Thanks JL, appreciate the input and responses!

Any recommendation on new pump for the pool, either non digital or digital? I'll be plumbing the existing (newer) pump to the spa and than purchasing a new pump for the pool. Just need some options and best place to purchase on-line. Also recommendation on Spa heater. I've decided to run the...

Yeah I guess I'll need to figure it out. My plan is not to be able to heat the pool, as Arizona sun does that and we wouldn't use it during the winter. Just need to find the most cost effective way to heat the spa. I may look at bringing in a gas line. Pool guys says, should be under $1500 for...

Appreciate it feedback- The spa is separate and doesn't flow over to the pool and is not that big. I agree with replacing most of the equipment, pipes fixing the conduit, however somewhat under a budget at the moment. If I transfer the existing newer motor to the spa and purchase a new motor...

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

As promised here are the pictures: I had the pool guys out today, says to add a heater about 3K. He's opting for Heatpump, to avoid running gas line, since I have 220v 110v box right in pool equipment area. The beat up looking pump/motor (get rid of it), says to transfer the Pool Pump over to...

My wife and I are in the final stages of purchasing a home with a pool, still under inspection period. This would be our first swimming pool, but somewhat familiar with how they operate. We are still in our inspection period and upon inspection, the pool equipment doesn't jive with the pool...
