I checked it at 11 pm and it’s off. GFI was tripped. As soon as a reset it and turn it on again you can...

    Citric Acid instead of Ascorbic Acid for Iron removal

    Moved from here. I’ve used vitamin C to get off metal stands on my steps, etc. and it’s worked great. Now the price of that has over doubled from what it used to be but now I’ve seen the citric acid powder which is super affordable. Will that do the exact same thing as the vitamin C powder? Any...

    Adding muriatic acid to in ground pool w/ vinyl liner

    I have an E65 system with the fingers and after I bump it, are you supposed to wait at all before you turn the pump back on? I usually bump it 6-8 times, then when I turn back on you can sometimes see a little DE out of the one return, and this same return has some air bubbles coming out of it...

    Leaking fittings on Hayward E65 De filter. Teflon tape?

    Have a small leak at the top of the DE filter, the top threaded hole at the very top: I put teflon tape around the white fitting that I screwed into it, but it still leaks a little. Also, same thing with my pressure gauge which has small leak now too. Should I try doubling up on the teflon...

    How much shock to close pool for winter season? 13,000 gallons

    Pool chemistry is good and is at "ok" levels. It's 13,000 gallons, and I have 73% Leslies Powder pro shock. The bucket doesn't really say how much to put in for the winter season. I'm closing it now, and will re-open end of April. I was just guessing that 32 oz would be enough. The bucket says 1...

    With DE, is it always about 80% each time you backwash?

    I have a Hayward De E65a filter, which takes 6 lbs of DE. You said after a backwash only add 5 lbs since only 80% is removed. I'm about to backwash for the "2nd" times this season. Does that mean after I backwash that only 60% will come out, and I should only add 4 lbs in? Or is it always about...
