I have been following the TFP method for some time initially using chlorox but recently changing to liquid chlorine from Lowe's. I had an unusual problem come up today. I socked my 13000 gal IG gunite pool yesterday and noticed this morning a sooty looking stain in the area where the GLB shock...

Thanks for the reply about the change in Clorox formulation. I had no idea. As stated above I found some Chlorinating Liquid which I will switch to.

I'm in Central MS. I did find some HDX at Home Dpot. Thanks.

I'm in Central MS. I just checked and Home Depot close by does have HDX Chlorinating Liquid. I'll hit it this pm. Thanks.

This is a surprising statement about Clorox to me since when I studied this several years ago on this site it seemed Clorox was the go to chlorinating agent. Here is a recommendation from Pool School: "Household bleach and liquid pool chlorine are the two common sources. They are identical in...

I'm in the same boat as cody21. I have been using 1 gallon of bleach and 1 puck per week for several years in my 13000 gal pool after learning about it here. Now I can't find Clorox or any Chloronating Liquid anywhere due to the virus. I'm thinking about substituting some shock once a week to...

Need help, please. I have year and half old Pentair Superflow VS pump. I went to check the time since we had a recent blackout. The pump was running but the display was bland and all the LED control panels are lit. After I turned it off I can't get it back on. I tried factory reset and...

I had very slow flow in my Liquidator lines with a lot of WS buildup. I used dilute muriatic acid to dissolve everything including the float valves. Then I had problem with air in lines. Found the flowmeter has a tiny crack allowing air in. Removed it from line and still had low flow. I...

Cool. Glad I asked. I don't want a mushroom cloud over central MS. Thanks, guys.

I have a Liquidator working and now find I need to increase my CYA. Any reason not to put some of the chlorine tabs (since I still have some) in the Liquidator to add the CYA or is this a no no?? Thanks.

Yes, sir.

Bruce, I checked when I got home and pH looks around 7.8 with a TA of 90. I added some muriatic acid based on that to try to get to 7.4 as you suggested. Still running a FC of around 6-7 even with LQ at 1 or a little higher. WIll cut it back a bit. Surprisingly my CH doesn't register. It was...

Yes, I have WS but it is mainly in the "out" side. I have a fairly small pool so I am running my flow around 1 or so and still keeping FC at 7. As I understand the way the LQ works it should not matter how slow the flow is. If the water level gets too high then the "in" float should stop the...

I have an in-ground pool and the LQ is above that next to the pool equipment. The check valves will make no difference if the float is "open".

Bama, My pump runs 24/7.

I haven;t seen this problem mentioned on the forum and would like your thoughts. I have had my Liquidator installed for 2-3 weeks without much problem. Came home today to a low pool level and found the Liquidator overflowing. I assume the inflow float was stuck. I jiggled it and it seems to be...

Yes that is correct, Salp. The "out" line is just before the pump basket. If I connected it the way the pool folks wanted to then it wouldn't run since there would be no pressure differential to fill the LQ. If the "out" line is on the high pressure side of the pump the thing wouldn't work...

Thanks, Salp. After I posted the above reply I got a call from my wife informing me the pool guys were there to repair the sand filter and they were concerned that the Liquidator was not connected correctly (they think it is backwards). They think the return ("out") should not be in front of...

Ok, if I have this correct air in the "out" line is due to a chemical reaction and not a problem, right? I now have my flowmeter at 2 and my FC this am was 18, increase from yesterday. I guess I need to cut back to 1 and see what happens. Does this all sound right?

Help. I got my Liquidator hooked up yesterday and having been having trouble with air. I have reviewed the archives here but still need to ask this question. I have a Liquidator Model 201 with upgrade kit. I initially had a lot of air in system until the container filled. Then still had...

OK, I did it. Hooked up the Liquidator. I about had a heart attack when I started it and the pump wouldn't fill. When the level of water got up to the "Out" level everything corrected. Easier to do than I thought but I felt like I was jumping off a cliff when I had that drill on the pipe...

Thanks, fellas. I could never find that anywhere.

I hope this is not a dumb question. I have done searches and cannot find an answer. Just got my liquidator with upgrade. Is there a way to remove the tubing once you attach it to the valves and flow meter? I see it slips in but can you get it out once it is done in case the valves or flow...

Thanks for y'all replies. Looking at the picture I now see an old chlorinator line tap on the vertical pipe which I think is after the filter and before the heater. This might be the place to put the new Liquidator "In" line. What do you think? Surgdog

[attachment=0:x7xlau75]IMG_0175.JPG[/attachment:x7xlau75] I need help from some of you Liquidator gurus. I have a Liquidator coming in and I have looked at the installation instructions on line. I see on my system where the "out" line goes (before the pump basket filter) but I have a jumbo of...

Ch levels are greater than 350 and pH is 7.6-7.8. I just don't think my wife is use to sparkly water. So I decided since BBB works why complicate life with a SWG (also very expensive). By the way I ordered a Liquidator today from you company Bruce and this is not a commercial but I got...

I have been using the BBB method for several months and I think the pool looks great with clear water. I will attach a pic. We just had to get a new pump and the pool guy and my wife think the water is too clear. Their argument is that due to the fact that my gunite pool is blue-green finish...
