Is my pump motor going bad? I dont notice any loss of performance and still pumps the water fine, but I've been noticing a loud wobbling sound from my motor. It's like a... "wa...wa...wa..wa..wa...wa.." The shaft spins fine. I disconnected the motor from the front part and ran it to see if it...

So its been a few weeks. I brought the pool up to shock level and it seemed to eliminated whatever was causing the FC demand. The SWG is now easily maintaining the current level at around 8 with even the lowest setting (20%). However for the last week my CC crept back up slightly from 0 after...

OK, so Im still getting a FC loss at night consistantly of around 1.5. My CC seems to go from 0 to .5 to 0 at random. And I have that chlorine smell at times. It seems to maintain the correct level during the day and the water is blue. Should I just try a full shock with bleach?

I ran the system overnight to see how much chlorine is added. It went from 2.0 at dusk to near 4 at morning with CC at 0.5. Water had a slight aqua shade to it. At that point I added some bleach and got it up to 10. A check 8 hours later showed it 10.5 (with SWG at 60%) and CC has dropped to...

Did another test... At the return it's about 3.5. Away from the return it's now 2.4. About 2 hours since the previous test (and sun has been down since last test). Also it appears I might have a slight reaction of CC now at 0.2. It's a pentair IC-20 on 80% and pool is about 10,000 gals. It's...

FC from one of the returns is 2.8. FC away from the return is 2.0. CYA was in the 30s when I checked it late last week and I added a pound which has just recently fully desolved. So I doubt I will get a accurate test result right now. I'm planning to add another pound if it needs it in a week...

Im having trouble with the FC. Over night test it will dip to 1 or even below. During the day it hovers around 2. But I can't get it any higher even when I have the SWG set on 80%. The pool water is blue but perhaps has a very slight haze especially during the morning before the pump comes on...
