If I were buying a new pump, it would definately be 220v powered. A little wiring change, a different circuit breaker, and outlet will give you half the operating expense.

By the way, my water is clean and treated now. I don't have the water test results here with me now but I do use the BBB with your tests kit.

I have been reading about fine micron filtering, Slime Bags, and last chance sock filtering. It seems that a lot of people have this problem with fine silt or dead algea laying on the bottom of the pool. Is is so fine that if you touch it, it just dissapears but it is annoying to me to see...

I have not had a lot of time to do much water testing yet. I accidentally dumped a bunch of maple tree helicopter seeds in the water from removing the winter cover. I was trying to vacuum and skim the pool first. I did shock the pool and add some PH plus but now it is too cloudy green to see...

Last fall before I closed my pool, I was starting to wonder if the sand filter was working. My water seemed to be getting cloudy with sediment. I gave up trying to fix it and closed the pool. I installed a new spider gasket in the multiport thinking that there was a bypassing leak in the...

Thanks! I feel better now.:goodjob:

My skimmer is cracked from a couple years ago and I have been patching it with pool putty. I bought a new skimmer to replace it. Will I have problems with the liner moving when I remove the face plate screws? The liner is two years old and is a unibead style that is hooked over the wall with...

This spring I installed a used AGP. After everything was filled & running, I noticed that the skimmer box has some small hair line cracks. I was able to seal them with pool putty and I have been fine with it all year. Now that I have closed the pool and drained down below the skimmer, I would...

OK I see where it says that in the TF-100 Test Kit description. Thanks.

That is what I figured. Thanks!

My pool installer only put 150 pounds of sand in my 200 pound filter. He said it will work better. I think he did it because that was all he had on the truck. Is there any truth to this or should I go buy another bag of sand?

But if the test only reads up to 5, how do I check for 7 or 10?

Why does my test kit say 1-3 is the ideal range but TFP says 3-7 is ideal?

It is a minor leak only dripping twice a minute. Is there any kind of PVC patch that I can glue on the outside?

How can I repair a 3" long crack in the side of the skimmer box (AGP) now that there is water in it?
