Screws won't tighten on the skimmer plate. Sheet metal wall behind skimmer rusted out. Need to stop the leak. Do I drill new holes between the existing screws, or remove the screws and replace with bolts? I will make four piece backing plate to sandwich the liner. I've lowered the water...

Solved my problems by just running hardware Cat 6 and no more problems.

I get 3/4 to 1.0 Deg F. per hour with my heater. 20 K inground pool with 83,000 BTU H Water-Furnace heater. (Electric heat pump) Always try to keep the solar cover on to reduce heat and water loss. I only try to run the heater now during solar production. Averaging 7 hours per day of heating.

Moved from here.. SWCG - Should it be on if water temps are too low? I'm looking to get a SWG and if I plumb it like I've read, after the heater, won't it see all the heat from the heater and be able to run?

Because in my testing was not sure was doing it properly. Ok I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks. And how did you find my test results in pool math?

I guessed cya of 100 because that's the max the test will read.

Yes still drain/fill now. And has a very slight haze to it. Just now quite crystal clear now.

How do I share my pool math test results?

Ok sounds good but we had very little water removed from the pool over the winter. Closing the pool reading of cya from pools stores 120-150 and now I have no reading or less than 20? How is that possible?

So the test water never turns milky and I can still see the dot it's Low? Wow last year I changed to bleach because the CYA was high and had two different test from pool store tell me to drain water. I've since bought taylor test kit. Not sure what to do now.

So if the dot never disappears, your CYA is high or low?

FC = 14 PH = 7.5 TA = 100 CH = 100 CYA = 120 Temp = 88 I have had FC problems most of this year, and would like to find a way to lower the CYA without draining too much water from our pool. The vinyl liner I'm sure is on it's last of its life. It is starting to discolor around the bottom...

Re: Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine - Gilbert AZ The Restaurant Store (.com) sells James Austin A-1 1 gallon/ 128 oz bleach for $1.99 single bottle and $1.66 per bottle case of 6 (Total $9.99) No sales tax in Delaware. This is 5.25% Cheapest price I've found yet.

Yes we have one 50' set. Some of the colors are bright, there are 16 colors and all have 9 levels of dimming. So you can have your choice. We do have ours on a photo cell timer, and the lights remember their last setting, so very nice set of lights but for the price.
