Thanks for the info. I’ll go the cheaper easier route then!

I don’t notice any wear on the balls. So there’s no inherent benefit to the newer style flaps? Wasn’t sure if there was more water flow or anything with the newer flaps. And yeah replacing entire top gear assembly was the plan.

I have a 6 port in floor cleaner in my pool that stopped rotating heads this last season. Just took it apart and several gears are stripped. I can get the replacement gears for $99. But also noticed it uses balls vs t flaps that I saw in most videos when researching. For those with in floor...

It's one of these guys. Pretty common in AZ. Is that not a thing elsewhere? And I've heard it's for cooling but it never makes sense. By the time the pool is too warm, the nighttime air doesn't get much lower than the pool temp really. I really only use it to raise ph after lowering TA and ph...

Ahh thanks so much that makes me feel much better ☺️ so no need to leave the pool drained until then. I'll call tomorrow.

Can you explain this more? Or point me to some resources? I'm not sure how Id do that. There is a timer by the pump but I don't think it's doing anything currently. Would I sync that timer with my pool pump run times?

It just does to one of those little spray aerators. Almost never use it.

I have been using the TFP method for the last year and love it. But now am thinking of installing a SWG. Based on my research I'm leaning toward the Circupool RJ30 Plus. I have installed my own sprinkler system so think I can handle the install. But looking for advice on where it should go...

So drained my pool yesterday and noticed this rust spot on the side of my pool wall. It protruded out a bit and was able to knock some of the rust off. (Looked worse originally) I'm not sure how this would happen on the wall of my pool. Plaster is only 1 year old. Have a similar spot on the...

Awesome that makes sense. Already have scale so would like to avoid more. Have one more question about the CH test. The test seemed to be going purple instead of blue so I added the 5 drops of regent first. Now the test looks like the water goes blue but there are suspended particles in the...

Finished slamming yesterday!! My tests look good except that Total Alkilinity is high (even after wiping after each drop). I tried lowering by lowering pH and aerating but it barely moved. At this rate I'd need quite a bit of acid to lower TA. There seems to be contradicting information. Should...

How long does a SLAM typically last? My pool was starting to green but nothing solid in the water. On day 4 and the pool has never looked more clear. It's been like this since yesterday but overnight FC still dropping. Anything else I should do/be checking? Testing and adding chlorine several...
