Anyone have something to do this???

Tested it and it’s fried. So. Found a 1 hp locally. The one I have now is 3/4. Nothing wrong with going to a 1 hp?

Go figure. Shocked pool, turned pool on and pump was running fine. Was going to run for 24 hours after 50 ounce triple shock in 10,000 gallon pool. Pump was running fine for first few hours. I checked it at 11 pm and it’s off. GFI was tripped. As soon as a reset it and turn it on again you can...

Saw this posted in an old article: Here are the directions to use Ascorbic acid to rid your pool of metal stains: Here is the ascorbic treatment: Take your chlorine down to 0 and PH down to 7.2, if there is chlorine in the water it won't hurt, it will just eat up the ascorbic acid, so you...

@jhalpinjr or anyone else. How's this holding up??

Re:  Adding muriatic acid to in ground pool w/ vinyl liner Ok, so just got water tested. Ph 8.1. Got the acid from Home Depot, 31%. Poured 1 pint into my pool, 13,000 gallons. Instructions on label said 1 pint at a time I think. How long do I wait to test again and think 1 pint will do...

Thanks! Ok, it was the front screw in fitting before the first clamp! The one that threads into the black housing! Tried the shaving cream test, but didn't seem to do anything. Did the pouring water test and all bubbles went away. I took off all the clamps and unscrewed it. There was old white...
