Very good Jason, I will follow up with the results. Thank you!

Hi All I am trying to balance pool water. Tested the pool with test kit. PH 7.3 Alk ? Fluid is blue added drops no change Cal ? Clear, added drops still clear Bromine 10 Gallons: 32,000 Not sure if the pool has a high Alk, what does it mean when the reagent turn blue. What does it mean when...

Hi All I have a dilemma about installing a liner. This pool has corners to the stairs which we had to wrap the liner around. The customer is upset because of this wrinkle in the side is there anyway to remove this wrinkle or shrink it or does this seem more or a manufacturing issue. Any advice...

Solution: Originally, we used silicone on the gasket to provide a better seal. The silicone reacted with the rubber gasket and melted it causing the leaking around the fitting. We put the gasket directly onto the tile, and placed a thin layer of silicone around the outside of the fitting face...

Hi All I installed new return jets in a fiberglass pool that has been tiled. We placed the return jets on top of the tile with a gasket and silicon around the borders of the jet face plate. The jet face plate has threads that screw into the fitting in the back, sandwiching the gasket and the...

I have thought of adding extra sacrificial elements to the pipework but my fear is that the damage due to corrosion will be beyond repairs. I may pass on this project.

Hi All I'm working with a commercial client that would like to convert their present Bromine system to a Salt Chlorinated system. The pool is indoor around 25,000 gallons and a Steel/Aluminum body with a tiled floor. I'd like to get the general consensus if it okay to add this system to a metal...

I agree with you, this heater was straight out of the crate too.

If there is no ice in the pump or filter system, the water is clear of icebergs and the skimmer is clear you may start it up. If you have a heater I would set it to a low temperature so that it will gradually increase the water temp. This will be a safe way of making sure there is no freeze up...

I sized the heater based on the one being replaced, it is in an indoor environment with a dectron system, but a do understand your concern about the size, if I look back I should have gone with my gut feeling and got one with more BTU's. An Update, I replaced the unitherm governor today, the...

Hey Guys Thanks for replying back, I checked the temperature of the heater today and it was reading on the display 104 set temp and 104 actual temp. I have a digital thermometer and tested the pool at 100. The pool is 15,000 by the way. I talked with Raypak and they said it could possible be...
