My RP2100 Raypak heater will not kick on. The pilot light is lit and when I turn the temperature gage, i can hear it click at the low temperature. Is there something I should check to see why it isn't kicking on? At the beginning of the season, it took awhile to go on, but it finally did...

Did you try the citric acid treatment? Did it work? What does it entale?

I retried the vitamin C and let it sit a lot longer and the area that it was looks bluer. Now since the stains is in a large areas i cannot just place Vitamin C tablets throughout the pool. What is the AA treatment? Should i try that? The side of the pool that has the stains, has trees that...

I didn't notice any change in the stain with the vitamin C. I had some Algaezone plus, which I put a few ounces in the pool to see if that does anything. Very frustrating since I had the ganite refinished last season and getting this yellow stain now. Hopefully see a difference tomorrow.

Where do you get Vitamin C tablets? Do they come in the size of the clorine bricks, 3"? What is an AA treatment? Thanks for the suggestion and help. Sorry for all the questions.

I have a yellowish rusty stain in a few spots in my pool on the walls. It is a ganite, 20K gallon pool, newly finished last year. All the chemicals are testing correctly and also tested correctly at pool store, and pool is very clear. I tried the Mustard Algae solution from the pool store...

Trying to light the pilot light on my Raypak RP2100 pool heater. The pilot light know will not move from the off position. I can push down on it, but it won't turn to "pilot". Propane tanks are on and pool filter is running. Is there something else I need to do or check? Thanks in advance.

My propane company lit the pilot light and the heater won't start. They said the millivolts are fine, the thermostat won't close and gas volve will not open for main burners and I need a new thermostat. Someone mentioned that there may not be enough pressure from the filter. How do I know how...

Thank you, I will give that a shot. Hate to sound stupid, but do I just get the Vitamin C tablets at a pool store or any other store?

I just had my in ground gunite pool redone this week. The person that did it replaced the screw for the light with a non stainless steel screw. I now have a stain above the light. I have replaced the screw with a stainless steel one, but any suggestions on how to get rid of the stain? Second...

It is the filter that is about 2 1/2 feet high and you take the filter out and hose it off. I got it totally clean before I put it back in.

I went on vacation a couple weeks ago and pool turned green with algae. I finally cleared it up after about 5 days. Now when I start the filter, it shoots green through the jet for about 30 seconds. I have a hayward DE Filter, in ground pool. I took the filter out and cleaned it all off and...

That is what I thought, thank you for the response!

I have an inground pool w/ 240 volts running to the filter. I am trying to put in an automatic timer for the filter. I was given a Intermatic Timer T101R which is 120V. I cannot get it to work since it is not enough volts. Is there any suggestion for timers that would work to a 240 volt run...

I went to another pool store for a reading (Leslie's Pools) and got different results: Free Avail Clorine (FAC): 4 Total Avail Chlorine (TAC): 6 pH: 7.4 TA: 120 Calcium Hardness: 180 CYA: 30 Everything looks good, but still cannot get a reading on the test strips. She did one final test and...
