Hi All My filter psi is normally about 12. After a AA treatment I noticed the pressure was at 16 so I decided to clean the two carts in my Sta-Rite 500sf filter. Tons of junk from a messy opening, but the last time I did this I remember being able to get the pleats much "whiter"....certainly...

Due to a small partial refill (with well water), I had some pretty significant iron staining in my 30K vinyl liner pool. I intially used Jack's Purple Stuff/Stain Solution #1 which worked very well. I never let pH rise above 7.2 and began slowly adding bleach 24 hours later. Things were great...

Hi...Just treated my vinyl liner pool for iron stains with Jack's Magic products. Just over a week later the stains are returning. Locally, nobody sells Jack's products... I have more Purple Stuff on order but don't want it to get worse...can I use the sequesterant from Leslie's in a pinch while...

Very little info about what mutagenic effects were seen and at what level of chlorination. Also, suggestions to lower chlorine usage are not feasible. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id ... _article=1

Hi All, We have a 20 X 40 IG with attatched spa. The spa has eight jets. When I run the blower 2 or 3 of the jets deliver very little air. I am assuming (probably incorrectly), that the water column in those lines is preventing the air from being pushed through. The blower is 2 hp. What is the...

Relocated from this post by Moderator Just an opinion from a non expert here, but I find the SWCG manufacturers' recomendations for CYA to be too high. 70 or 80 ppm is fine until all heck breaks loose. Just look at how much bleach you need to add to a 25-30K gallon pool to address the problem...

Hi everyone....Time for some more advice from the experts! I have been beating myself up over our winter cover choices. We have a newly finished 20 X 40 IG Roman vinyl. Stucco wall on one side, attached, raised (about 20 inches) spa, on the other side. Our deck is wet set travertine. There are...

Hi All, We have a 29,000 gal vinyl pool with a SWG. I've been reading the Chemistry for SWG pools in the pool school forum, and I see a recommended level of CYA to be between 60 and 80. I currently have a level of 35. My cell output is set to 30%. FC has always been between 3 and 3.5 with this...

I know I hear nothing but good things about this pool cleaner, but it's driving me nuts. I find that it spends most of it's time trapped in one corner of the pool. The back up valve functions yet does not always pull it out of this corner. The RPM's are correct and I have adjusted the jets on...

Hi All....I ran out of CYA reagent in my TFT-100. Can I substitute the Taylor reagent that Leslie pools sells ? Thanks. Rob

Hello All, We are nearing the end of our pool building project....and this forum has been unbelieveably helpful. We are having some trouble and I need some help. We have an in ground vinyl pool with an attatched spa. All controls are Goldline. First issue is that when we turn the blower on for...

Hello All, Our pool project continues...a little more slowly and with more problems than I had hoped. During the winter we experienced a sudden loss of water which turned out to be the conduit for LED lighting. Pool builder says these conduits are considered " wet conduits" and sometimes this...

Hello all... Well, my pool project is continuing despite rapidly falling temps here in NY. We are having a spa built and I need to find some decorative spillways. I think I would like something made of metal, but I'm open to suggestions. Any ideas where I could source these from? Thanks for the...

Hello All....Great site here with some real knowledgable people! After years of nagging by my wife I finally gave in this fall and we started our pool project. We are up to selecting the vinyl liner and while browsing the catalogs I came across a product in the Kafko catalog called Tru-Tile...
