I just decided to pull it out, came out easy... ordered a new light. will be a done deal soon...

I have decided to just replace the light... I don't feel like fooling with it anymore. I need to pull the light out of the pool... Anyone know if I need to pull the hub out or can I just pull the wire (with string) with the hub in? Also do I need to lower the water or just pull the light out and...

Question for someone... My bulb seems to only last for a week or two at a time... I have been using the halogen bulbs that you can find at a hardware store... they are like 15 bucks for a pack of two, verses 6-80 bucks for one that Pentair sells. Can you folks tell me if the bulb at the...

ha, you lost me somewhere around the beginning.. but that's OK... I will boost it up to 18900 and see what it looks like... in the past I had been adding chlorine 2 times a day, but based on 16000 gal... so it was a hidden error... now I am trying to add Chlorine once a day (at dusk) well its...

man... can you share how you did that, I have been racking my brain trying to figure it out. - - - Updated - - - should I go with 18,900 due to the cut outs?

ok I re measured: 34 foot 2 inches to where the wall meets the steps (rounded corners) and 16 feet wide. the middle is approx 5 foot deep (Might be 5.5 or close at the maindrain) and its 3 foot deep at the steps and that slopes to the 5 foot section.

well I did call, and she said that a pool that is 33 feet long by 16 feet wide with a 5.5 foot center and each end at 3.5 would be 9100 GAL... I asked her to check that twice. needless to say I am still trying to figure it out.

OK I finally have some time to fool with this... my water tested at 4 for FC... I added 57 OZ of 12.5 (Pool Shock) or Sodium Hypochlorite... I have the calc currently set at 18600 GAL... one hour later I checked it and I only see it has raised up .5 (4.5 total). What I am doing is trying to make...

Thanks guys... It is more of a 1/3 3.5 - 1/3 5.5 - 1/3 3.5 kind of like this: \_/ - but not as severe of a slope. I will check my doses tomorrow and see... Sounds like with Steves math and rounded corners I may be close... More updates after tomorrow.

It was after the sun was setting... I'm going to set it at 18500 and do some testing tomorrow... Will see what it does???

I was checking my pool, I tested and my FC was 0.5 so the pool calculator told me for 16000 Gal. (what I thought I had) I needed to add 123 oz of chlorine to get m to 8 FC (CYA of 50). So I did that and 3-4 hours later I checked and it was at 7... I messed with the numbers and it looks like my...

I'm still looking for something ... I can't even find broken drives to salvage the plug.

N240sxguy I found the max flow rate by pipe size in the filters PDF... I will post a link in a few. The drain plug threads are fine, it does have an oring I added some Teflon and I think it helped... At least it went farther in, I'm used to them screwing all the way in with little effort...

Hi folks, I just picked up a backup pump for my pool... its a pentair vs+svrs and its working fine other than two things... 1. can someone tell me the minimum RPM setting for my filter? 2. seems like the drain plug on the pump (one under the lid) doesn't go all the way in... (threads look fine)...
