    Booster pump problems

    I will post pic later today, As for other ?'s Main pump and booster pump run separately, they are even on separate circuit breakers. They even have their own valve lines running to each pump. I have checked valves, and open and re-closed lid making sure of tight fit. Although no valves are on...

    Booster pump problems

    Hello all, I'm back for another fun filled summer of questions and answers. I trust everyone had a great winter! So my booster pump stopped filtering water one day. The pump will still come on and run but suctions no water. This pump powers the built-in jet cleaning system (paddock). My other...

    polaris pop-up keeps popping out

    Well the subject line about explains it. one of the holes where the jets fit in has something wrong with it as I have even tried swapping out the jets. any suggestions are welcome because it only takes about 2 or 3 cycles before it pops out. Thanks

    weird backwash valve

    Hello, I need help backwashing a purex triton II filter. Where there should be a valve to change the water flow there is a weird handle type thing. How do I use this?

    To drain or not to drain

    Update FC: 13.5 CYA 55-65, could the addition of all the chlorine change it?? i tried the test a couple of times. pH 7.5 - 7.8 will add some acid tonight. So now I just monitor levels, and add chlorine per CYA/chlorine chart to maintain adequate FC levels....right?

    To drain or not to drain

    Thanks, I am assuming it is still 70-80 unless adding 27 gallons of chlorine can change it, haha. As for clarity I have a crystal clear blue sparkly pool, just residual dirt from multiple dust storms. I am sweeping the dirt to the main drains for elimination. the polaris only works so well.

    To drain or not to drain

    Hey I'm sold on the SWG, but my husband has the final word. I am going to put together some info to try and convince him. Also here in AZ the pool is open 30/12...days/months. So the savings look even better. Plus it will be one less thing for me to take care of. I need info on what would be...

    To drain or not to drain

    yes, but that doesnt really answer my question. using liquid chlorine is going to take a lot and get expensive fast. 2 gallons is $7, I will be using at least 1 to 1.5 gallons a day or more to maintain 8-9ppm FC. thats $100+ a month, just chlorine. not including acid and electricity to run the...
