I found the problem. Replaced the pump basket housing lid. Added a new hose to boot. Running Great thank goodness. Now Im SLAMing.

I was out of town and it was left like this for a few days... The pump still works but as it draws water in to the pump basket it looses the water when returning it to the jet. It builds up then releases it. My filter pressure is around 2 when normally it is 12. When I shut it off the pump...

Do I need to add the bleach after the ma? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

Do I need mask, goggles, and gloves to handle this stuff? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

Muriatic acid in the returns as well or skimmer? thanks for all the help. Wife thinks Im nuts. Ha

I read where CYA did lower PH. I guess it is not enough to matter. Im going to lowes right now to get the acid and bleach. I am using pool math with a CYA goal of 40. FC goal of 4 and PH 7.5

So I just started the pool pump. Wile waiting on my K2006 test kit I used some strips that I had. PH 8.4 FC 0-0.5 TA 80 CYA 0 I started adding stabilizer, only about a pond so far. It doesn't seem to dissolve so quickly and I didn't want to overload the skimmer so I thought I should just add...

Hey guys, this is interesting stuff. I am a new pool owner and this pool gets about 10-12 hours of direct sun. The pool is just about ready to be turned on so I have not added any chemicals yet and test kit is being delivered next week. Since I have learned that the sun reduces the chlorine...

I see. I attached lugs to 4 posts equally spaced. I'll take an up close pic tomorrow. The outside of the pool post I connected to has a coating, same as the wall but the post itself has a metal quality albeit thin. If I wasn't careful the tap screw wouldn't hold firm and I had to redo it. I...

Pigeon. Anyway to get a pic of that? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

I want to follow the TFP way. It is the most definitive sanitizing process I have found and that is my #1 goal to keep a properly sanitized pool. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

That's what I am doing now. Did you guys tap into the legs? The 4th one will be on the metal wall connector. Do you guys have the water bonded. I don't have the hook up yet but can run the wire if it's needed. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

Thank you for your patience. What if I already have "jumbo tabs" of trichloro? This is a new pool with new water. I ordered the K 2006 test kit scheduled to get here early next week. As soon as I get the pump going I was going to put CYA in at 30ppm. 1. Since I already have the jumbo tabs can I...

Correct. The wall is not resin. Should I just tap into the the legs at 3 places? I am going to tap into that metal wall then to the motor. Should I run a rough end to the skimmer for future water bond? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

Should this be moved to a different section? I don't want to keep 120 ft of #8 copper if I don't need it. I read where a section from the metal wall to the pump would suffice. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk
