Just started happening. When I turn on SPA mode and Heat water in the SPA becomes cloudy as if some kind of powder DE is released into the water. If I flip between spa and pool for a couple of minutes it clears and remains clear when I turn back into SPA mode only. This happens every time I turn...

Hi, It seems that I have some metal staining (light brown spots in a bunch of places) more in the corners. Metal was high in the water so I used natural chemistry metal free to lower it. Hopefully that worked, but stains remain. So now what I understand I need to do is add either ascorbic or...

Hi, I am in the process of renovating my pool. When I started my research and quote collection I was given quotes on plaster and pebble tec finish where pebble tec of course more expensive. I have decided to go with a local pool company mainly because they are local and do have a pretty good...

Hello, I have a couple of questions about the remodeling project I am considering. I have a 28K gallon plastered gunite pool, precast coping in MA. Please excuse my lack of terminology knowledge if I say something silly. A lot of tiles on the edge around the pool has fallen off or is falling...

Hi, The gunite pool is about 12 years old in MA. Some of the tiles have fallen off around skimmers, spa etc. There is some hallow sound when knocking around both on tile and coping stones. I am thinking of replacing tiles in the spring (decko seal is being replaced today). The question is does...

Hi, apologies if my terminology is off, or if I do not provide all the information that would be needed, I am new to the pool thing.. I have recently purchased a house with Jandy system installed. Everything works fine in Pool Mode. However if I turn on SPA mode both actuators JVA 2444 (intake...

Hi, As I have pointed out in an earlier post, I have purchased a house with a pool and Caretaker99 5 valve system installed in it. I have been running on Caretaker only with what seems to be normal pressure both on the filter and valve system. However, even though the previous owner claimed that...

Hello, I just bought a house with pool and caretaker99 installed. I have been told by the pool guy who I called to open the pool not to use caretaker only. Use it in combination with side returns and spa return. Using it with all returns open does not seem to do anything I do not think there is...
