THanks!

I guess with all the splashing and big waves, the water going into the skimmer, then forcefully pushing the skimmer weir door up against this piece of plastic finally gave way and cracked the skimmer frame. This is causing the weir door to stick outward into the pool Where it is cracked we can...

It has last year, but this season I made it a point to try and keep it in the negative to help with the calcium build up. Last year I always waited until my pH got to 7.8 or above before I added acid to the pool. This season I test the water every two days ( or right after a bunch of kids are...

I do. with my numbers, I hover around -.17

I have not noticed any scale flakes coming out of the returns or laying on the bottom of the pool.

Thanks! What do I need to keep the PH at to help combat this? What is a good TA I need to shoot for?

It's been blazing hot here in Fl last few weeks. Heat index pushing 110 and this is causing water temps to hover around 91 deg. Does high water temps cause calcium to build up faster on your salt cell? If so, do I need to drop the PH below 7.4? If not, then what else would cause a salt cell to...

Thanks man, Ill look into a mod kit. Im just over all this nonsense. @Newdude has given me some tips. He's been my shoulder to rant to LOL. I had 2 reps come out late last year to "figure" out the issue. Between the pump squealing like a pig intermittently to not holding FC. They blamed...

Jandy over the last 3 years have "replaced" the cell 2 times, but the fact is, my cells were never the issue. So when they tossed the old one in my garbage, and left, I dug it out and put it back in. My original one died a few months ago. I guess running it at 90% for 19 hours a day definitely...

Going on year # 3 now with our pool. Unfortunately my builder set me up with a salt cell that is under sized for my pool. Jandy Tru Clear for a 17k gal pool. If you check my history here, youll see that I need to manually dose my pool in order to keep my FC up. Running the cell at 90% output for...

A friend of mine has a fiberglass pool. Over the last six months these black spots have appeared throughout the pool. The ones right below the waterline I tried to scrub off with my fingernail and it was not budging. Almost feels like you would need to take some sandpaper to get it out of the...
