Background: I successfully managed a 7500 gallons above ground pool for 4 years in Central CA thanks to TFP. Used TFP from day one and never had to shock. Several years without a pool and after last relocation was able to rent a home with a pool. I knew it would be bad but I had no idea how...

Been a long week at work and have gotten home after dark. I've pestered the rest of the family to make sure they were testing and we've been at 5 FC with 0 CC. Well I pulled back the solar cover when I got home today and immediately knew we had a problem. I've bumped up to shock level but...

OK, been following BBB for a year with no algae issues but my pH just won't stabilize so I'm ready to tackle the borates. My TA was above 200 when I opened the pool last year and I'm down to 90 but my pH still climbs with acid additions necessary biweekly. I have no water features and have...

Prayers going out.

:party: :party: :party: First one that came in was defective. After a week of phone and email tag with Hayward, new pump arrived today - less than an hour to install. Take that Southern California Edison! Now to go update my sig. :party: :party: :party:

Recently purchased a 1 hp 2 speed pump to replace a similar Hayward 1.5 hp single speed pump. Per the manual, "Discharge pump will only rotate 1/4 turn" The whole housing and basket spins 360 degrees. When I remove the C clip, I was able to successfully orient the discharge to horizontally...

I have an AGP with 8500-9500 gallons. Currently using Hayward 1.5 HP single speed pump. I'm replacing it with a two speed to save on CA electricity. I think I should get my money back quickly here. I'm looking at Hayward SP15922S Power-Flo Matrix Above-Ground Pump 2-Speed. It will match my...

I currently have a single speed Hayward 1.5 HP Power Flo Matrix with X-Stream filter. With CA utility rates and reading this site, I know I need to go to a 2 speed. I need to adjust sig, pool seems to be approx. 7500 gallons based on pool calculator and effects from chemicals added. I was...

I added bleach as I went on the fill and know I may be slightly high but the sun will take care of that today. FC 4 CC 0 TC 4 pH 8.2 (actually off chart) TA 200 CH 40 CYA 0 I will be using BBB, but have both CYA and dichlor on hand that was bought before. Actually my pool installer said use...

AGP to be installed tomorrow. 1.5 HP Hayward Power Pro Matrix, single speed pump. Initially planned on putting skimmer and return on SW end to hide it and electric was wired accordingly. Now thanks to TFP, I know the skimmer should be placed according to prevailing winds which means SE...

Sorry if found elsewhere but I've read pool school, AGP, this board, etc. and can't find steps for initial start-up of a permanent AGP. (I read temp pool start up in pool school). I have TF-100 on hand. Pool will go up Monday, 9 August unless unforeseen circumstances prohibit. I've read all...

OK, I've read and read and believe I understand bonding. Above Ground Pool is set to go up Monday and now at the last minute I have a grounding question. I'm installing a display pool and just found the pump manual. Up front it stresses bonding but later says to permanently ground motor using...

Greetings, I've been searching and browsing forum for a few days. I look forward to participating on board. I am currently searching/researching for a 12x24 buttress free pool. I've found a "deal" on a Voyager LX by Garden Leisure ($25 00 with 1 hp pump, sand filter, etc.) that was a display...
