So clearing out the lines and fully opening the return value from the solar heater didn't help. Some more info, which I think supports your idea of the intake side might not be properly sealed. When I first turn on the pump there is a lot of air that comes out of the return jets, at first big...

on high (which is 75% max power) I think it's around 15-20psi. Maybe around the same on low speed. I just went out and found that the valve leading from the solar to the pool was not all the way open. I opened it up all the way, not sure how long it's been like that but I know i haven't...

Equipment: VSP pump cartridge filter solar heater on roof Near the end of last season I noticed that my pool not being heated nearly as much as it was normally would. So looking into it, I found that after the pump was primed the low setting was not pulling through enough water to keep it...

sounds like the consensus is partial drain and refill to lower cya, and also bring my FC way up sooner rather than later. I'll do my research on managing the high ch levels as well. Thank you all for the advice!

We recently purchased a home with a pool and I'm doing my best to manage the chemistry myself. To that end I bought a Lamotte Pro 7 2056 test kit to help manage the levels. I was really shocked to learn that my cya levels are way off the charts, the Lamotte kit puts it at 120, I took it to...

So I've come to the determination that our solar heating works too well. The water gets really hot really quick and stays that way all night. It's already 100+ outside and jumping into a hot spring is not refreshing :) I'd like to shut it off for now and re-enable once it makes sense and can...

I have all the manuals, last owner was nice enough to pass them on. I did thumb through them, other than a general indication of what the problem related too, they didn't really help. Breakers on, everything is getting power. I don't know the age of the cell, I went back out and looked for a...

We just bought a house that has a salt water pool, I'm a little overwhelmed with how to maintain it and I think something may be wrong with the filter. I'm pretty sure all the parts were working when we closed but there was a two week period before we moved in and now it seems like something is...
