Hi Everyone, My old pump had lost power and getting noisy so I replaced it with a new 2hp pump (was 1.5hp). The problem is the filter would not fill and no pressure. The new pump is doing the same thing. It does not prime properly so I think suction line leaking. Ran a new pipe from the pump...

No disconnected

Nothing broken or clogged and motor runs fine

Hi Guys, I have a friend with a Sta-Bilt 3/4 horse and it will not prime. The pool is full to the overflow, I have check all fittings nothing loose or cracked. Line from skimmer not stopped up. I removed the cover and the discharge line. Filled the pump and turn it on. It pumps very little but...

Thanks for the help.

Split by monderator from HERE. Please start a new thread for your own questions. Thanks, jblizzle Hi Guys, My problem is that 1.5 years ago I had the same problem with CYA. I drained the pool and got it fixed. I always bought 65% non stabilized chlorine after that problem. Now the pool is green...

it is only 3.5% and $4 a gallon

What is Shock Level? That is a new one on me. Could not find it in the pool school.

Filter is doing fine. PSI about 8-10 and backwash at least once a week.

Hi zea3, Here is the hard part to understand. We have the hardest water in the world here I think. The calcium stains everything so why it is low beats me. I will look for calcium chloride/calcium dichloride but doubt it. Ordering things to send here is cost prohibitive shipping is high and the...

Hi Dave and zea3, I am not offended at all I just don't want to mess up. I have been reading the Pool School and understand what my readings should be but thay are all over the place and here in Costa Rica (by the way we lived in Whitsett,NC for 35 years before moving here) there is so littler...

UP Date Things were looking good. I had 12 bags of salt on hand but that only brought my salt level to 2000. Now there is no salt to be found here maybe for a month. My ph and everything is fine but I have to add chlorine. I added 10 gal 0f 3.5 clorox but that only lasted for 1 day at a cost of...
