Thank you ps0303. It is not leaking water and I managed to get a little air out of the filter air relief valve. Maybe it's the water "wooshing" around in the heater that I hear. Good to know that I can pick up a replacement and not have to order the old valve currently installed if it ever goes...

I am looking for a replacement safety relief valve on my raypak heater. I have a 25000 gallon inground pool and spa combo and the heater is the last piece of equipment before water returns to the pool. I think the relief valve is bad and allowing air (sucking) into the return water flow. I hear...

Ok, That's exactly what I was thinking but I wanted a feeling of comfort from you all. Thanks!

Hey Guys, First closing for me went well thanks to all of your help. I had a question about my solid pool cover. After it being stored and rolled up all summer, it's not even close to fitting all the pegs. I had to loosen most of the straps to get the the loop and spring assembly onto the...

Do I refill with a garden hose because everything is sealed. I'm guessing this is the way to go. The guy I used last year didn't blow out the lines or plug any ports or use any antifreeze. I'm lucky everything lasted through our brutal winter. since I don't have any experience with using the...

Thanks Scott, but how do I refill the spa after sealing off the ports and drain? Thanks!

Hello Everyone, I'm in southern PA and have a question about my pool since it's the first pool closing for me. Is there anything special or extra about closing a pool/spa combo. I have read thru the winterizing thread and feel pretty comfortable with what to do for the main inground pool. My...

Thanks Jason, I'll keep logging and post what I find....probably in a couple days.....happy 4th everyone!!

Sounds good...is the waterfall from my spa to my pool enough aeration? Or should I add something else into the mix? Thanks!

Ok, I may need some help or assistance from anyone who has done this before. I have a submersible pump if I need to drain the pool. If I need to lower the TA first then how should I go about this. Sorry, but I may need some steps to do this right.

Ok, so it's the CH. Does the CH or any of the other levels hurt the effectiveness of chlorine. ie. when I see the milky white cloud is something happening to the chlorine, like diluting it or killing off some of it making a CC number register?

Hello everyone. I got a chance to test my levels and they are as follows : FC : 21ppm CC : 0.5ppm PH : 7.4 TA : 190 CH : 580...can this be correct? CYA : 60 Well water CH : 130 - that I've been topping off with after backwashing a few dozen times. Note : Pool is clear blue. no cloudiness...

I have a 25000 gallon pool and its inground plaster. I add the liquid chlorine all at once right over the pool return nozzles. normally two jugs of 6% 182oz at a time. A white milky cloud forms and follows the route of the pool return water. It dissipates around 15 minutes and is clear...

When I add liquid chlorine to my pool there is a milky white cloud that appears and then dissipates within 15mins. Is this normal or should it still be as clear as it was before adding liquid chlorine.
