So after hooking up my Aquapure Ei this year, it is showing a "no flow" error. Installed it last year and it ran all season (about 5 months) with no problems and brought the control panel inside for the winter. I verified that I was getting sufficient flow by cranking up the pump and feeling...

Well, my 7 year old Dolphin Diagnostic might be done for. The impeller motor is shot and I am having a hard time finding a replacement part, but apparently that is a problem with the Dolphin lines, they are not user serviceable for the most part. So I am looking at replacing it with a Kreepy...

Well, now I've seen it all... a recent pool store catalog arrived in the mail advertising "Instant Liquid Chlorine" as a "safer, easier to use alternative." Upon closer inspection, it should have been labeled "very expensive cal-hypo 73%." Sad thing is that people have already made some very...

I am thinking of taking the plunge this year to an SWG. I've been BBB with liquid chlorine (jugs) for the past 4 or 5 years, but am looking at some extended vacations this year, so I am thinking the SWG will be much easier than finding a reliable person to test and dose my pool. I really like...

It occurred to me as I was cleaning my slide the other day that while my CH level being low (50) won't effect my vinyl liner, it could be slowly damaging the fiberglass slide that I generally leave running 24/7. Just turn off the slide, right? Well, I like to run the slide 24/7 so that it...

Has anyone tried these solar cover drain holes? Any feedback? Are they worth the effort to install? Any cons? Any thoughts on placement location? http://www.solarcovers.com/product/solar-cover-reels/solar-reel-accessories/e-z-drain-system-set-of-6

I finally found it, after using quite a bit of chlorine for the past few weeks, I discovered the hidden location of my algae... in the special ring I place over my main drain cover to prevent the pool cleaning robot from getting hung up on it. The device has two pieces and the algae had made a...

Does anyone know if a WF-23 has the same pump as a WFE-3 with the difference being the motors? Curious if you upgrade a WF-23 with a B2980, would it then be basically a WFE-3?

I recently replaced a 1 hp single speed motor with a B2980 which is a two speed 3/4 hp motor. The new motor is only running in low speed. Originally I wired it with one hot to the "com" and the other to a switch which fed "hi" and "low" terminals. In either position, the pump would only run on...

I would like to add Borates to my pool, but my CSI is registering at -.63, would it be better to add calcium before or after Evan's "So you want to add borates to your pool..." method. Or, should I not even worry about the CSI until after all that... here are my latest figures, FC 5 PH 7.4...

Now that I am using the BBB method, what can I do with all my old 3" tabs and granular di-chlor? Can I use the granular for laundry? Santizing my trash cans? Any suggestions kindly appreciated, I hate to waste all those chemicals (but am glad to not have to purchase in the future). Jay
