So the water sensor isn't part of the heater? Do you think I could have the heater re-hooked up then? I'd rather not have to purchase a new heater if my current one is still safe to use. Despite it's corrosion and wear it works, heats the pool/spa up quickly and I've never had a problem with...

I have a Laars LX250 gas heater, 17 yrs old. It still works fine but it has a lot of corrosion, I'm assuming because it's out in the weather. About a year ago, after I had the auto pool cover repaired, I started having electrical issues. The pool would run fine and then randomly, the pump...

I have been sweeping, scooping and brushing daily. Also my vac has been running ATC with the pump. I do live in a windy area though and the wind picks up at night. can I close the cover at dusk and open early am for the sun effect? it would cut down a lot on leaves/dirt etc in the pool. RE the...

my SLAM was going, I thought, really well as the FC was holding longer and longer each time I checked it. Monday I returned to work, that morning 6:30 it was 16, I added the bleach per the poolmath chart, at 6 pm it was 20, rechecked at 10pm, it was 16. I plugged in the number, got the bleach...

thank you!! grands are here, fc is 20 (my slam target)and I'll order more powder now. Thanks again

I'm back. day three of SLAM, it's getting longer and longer between adding chlorine, seems to hold a little longer every time I add some. My question is, I thought someone said or I read in poolschool that you can still use the pool while SLAMing,true? my grands are coming over and I know...

So I re-read all the responses. pretty much all my questions were already answered. sorry. I think i'm so wound up about this I'm not absorbing all the information I'm reading. So I'm going to get a good nights sleep and start fresh in am and fix this mess in my pool and if I hit a bump, I'll be...

well, today was a flop. I had a schedule change, didn't have time to start the bleach at noon. Also couldn't make it to the HASA dealer before closing, but did talk to them-they have plenty, sold in 4 per case gal jugs and they refill them. they open at 9am and I'll be there! So at this point i...

schedule change, can't add the chlorine til I get off work, but I found a HASA dealer in Walnut Creek, not too far. I'll go after work to get some 12.5% chlorine. You said 10 gallons? Hope this does it. I should recheck the Ph again before chlorinating? because I've been adding acid and the Ph...

Thank you so much for a fast reply! I'm going to put the muriatic acid in now before i leave for work then i'm going to try to come home for lunch to check ph and add the bleach. I have the recommended amt right now, but I'll have to get more. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "HASA" dealer...

I'm taking care of, or trying to take care of my pool myself once again. I did a fair job for a while but got a pool service finally. Meanwhile, I was educating myself about all the terms, parts, etc of the equipment and still knew very little about the chemistry. I live in a high wind area...
