My motor went out and I am switching from a dual speed to a single speed. I'm wondering if someone can tell me what wiring in the panel to disconnect? I know it's wired for 2 speed and needs to be changed for single speed?

Sounds like a few days of physical labor. Good job for the kids! Thanks all

Hi all, I live north of Houston, so as you might have heard, we've had some rain. I did not flood but when we get a lot of rain I get a lot of rain water in my pool. So, currently I have a greenish pool and Thursday night my pool pump made a humming noise and quit after 5 seconds. I changed...

UPDATE - Ok, so yesterday the water was Crystal Clear, I see no signs of Algae and the FC did not drop more than 1ppm overnight and CC is 0, PH is 7.6. Yesterday morning the FC was down to 22 ppm and after a bright warm sunny day yesterday, this morning's FC was still 22 ppm. Is this normal...

Actually, now that the sun is out, it's still a bit hazy, not crystal clear. I assume this is due to a high PH and other factors. Should I be concerned that not all the algae is gone even though I passed the OTLC test?

Yes, water is very clear. Probably could use another brush/vacuum. But looks great.

Ok, passed the OCLT test. Should I wait until the Chlorine levels are back to daily normal levels before adjusting PH, etc. since PH and TA can get outta whack during the slam?

Thanks

One more question, i got the FC up too 39-40 on Sunday. When I tested after sundown last night it was 39. This morning it was 36. My question is, Since I am already above shock level do I leave as is and retest after sundown tonight and see if it has dropped more than 1ppm tomorrow morning...

Thank you, much appreciated!

Guys, I started getting the pool ready last week after being out of town a week and coming back to a green pool. I started by getting the PH down and began slamming yesterday. I added some CH to get it up as well yesterday. Below are the numbers for the last few days. Since FC is 16...

Ok, I thought I would give everyone an update on if my pool fountains worked. I started closed 3 of the 6 returns and left 1 open while running the two fountains. I ran my pump on high (had a PSI of 22) and the water actually was shooting out about 4 feet (further than the pics below on...

Thanks ATT. I may move to the liquid and get rid of the pucks. When i went through "Pool School" 4 years ago after the builder finished he pool, he said 3" pucks and a granular chlorine each week.

Domct203, yes I use the 3" tabs in the Chlorine feeder (which is stuck). I used my new TF-100 and also went to Leslies Pools to have them verify. Did i read earlier that most people dont use the tabs? - - - Updated - - - Liquid Bleach? Hmmm, i've never heard of that. Do you use that with...

So, recently my Chlorinater Lid became stuck and I cannot remove, therefore I bought one of the floating chlorinaters until i can get it repaired. I've had it in a little over a week and now my CYA is 150. Could this be the cause of the CYA rise? Anyone have any concerns about these floaters?

UPDATE____ Ok, here is my (not perfect) finished job. I plan to make two more and see how it does. I tested the temp this morning after letting these two run last night and it was 88 instead of the normal 89, so that's something.

UPDATE....Ok, I have an update. Call me an idiot, but I did not realize there was a female fitting in the return line. I had to buy a "Key" to remove it and then was able to find a 1-1/2" fitting at Home Depot. Now I can begin the project. I plan to make three spray jets and run them...

I've tried, but again the only problem i have is finding something to replace the cap/eye (pictures attached) that goes over the return pipe. - - - Updated - - - I was trying to make a few of these, but have not found any type of adapter that will connect to the return pipe.

Ok, I've read the post from 5 years ago about building some jets to cool the pool. That is exactly what I was planning to do, unfortunately for me, my return lines are 2" (or less but not 1-1/2") MALE. Does anyone have this type of set-up and can it be done? I really don't want to purchase a...

Just curious how these 2 part stay together? Is the male end simply inserted and it stays or something else?

Thanks

I have a basic kit that does not test for CYA. I need to invest in a good kit. Any recommendations?

Thank You, and I am in Spring, Texas

Went to pool store to have my water tested and the results are different than mine. Test Store My Test Kit FC 2 <.5 TC 2 <.5 PH 7.2 6.8 TA 90 50 CYA 80 The only thing done between their test and mine was I added Pool Perfect Weekly (Their suggestion) about 30 minutes before I...

So, last week i noticed the Mastic starting to come up in a spot around the pool. I plan to replace this myself and have looked for suggestions on products. Most of the threads I've seen on here are old and was curious what everyone's thoughts are now. What is the best product to use?
