Thank you!

Hi all. I am getting ready to open my pool and my filter finally bit the dust. I have a Hayward Swim Pro cartridge filter, Model No. C1250. These aren't cheap to replace, I have to buy the lid and the casing separate. I was wondering if there was a different kind, or newer model that may work...

Wow. Well that's not the case at all. So just follow instructions they way they are and I'm fine. Thanks for not calling me out on my stupidity. Video was perfect thank you so much.

I have the Taylor K-2006 test kit and every year I forget how to use it. I am testing my FC but the instructions say nothing about diluting the pool water. However I know I dilute it with tap water every time just can't remember why or what the ratio is or what to do with it. So sorry I know I...

Thank you. I must just be rusty. I will find my groove again. I have never opened a clear pool until this year I have never opened a pool that needed almost nothing.

Initially I used 25ml then realized that I could do 10ml I must have done the math wrong. I added 3 bottles of 8.25% 121 ounces. It should not be 28 FC should it? I should probably retest.

I took the cover off my pool yesterday. Amazing it was crystal clear. I tested my CYA it was 0 so I added enough to get it to 40. I have a good test kit K-2006. My FC was 0 I added what I had and tested at 4.9 I added what I thought was enough bleach to get me to 16. I think I forget how to test...

I think so to. It stopped after 5 minutes though.

I replaced my pump about 2 months ago. It's been awesome. I turned it on today and its movin water but its squealing. I'm super mad! What could it be?

Ok. I had no idea thank you very much. I guess if I have problems later its gonna be all my problem!

Could it be the guys that put in my new liner didnt level the sand properly when they were raking it? Thank you! I'm clueless!

Oh. I thought it was because the the sand underneath. So the pool was probably level when originally put up but over time just settled?

Wow. I hope it doesn't get worse that would be a nightmare. Would it be the liner installers fault?

Now that my pool is beautiful and I can turn filter off I have noticed a problem. My pool is not level. About an inch and a half at its worst spot maybe little more. Pool is around 7 years old new liner last year. I am just now noticing it. Is it dangerous??

My pool is around 92-94 and I know I am a minority but I like it. The kids and I swim at night and love it! Steam rolls off pool at night!

Thanks for the advice! Took me too long to get it right I'm sticking with my plan. My pool is beautiful an silky smooth. Anyone that gets in it is shocked how sparkly it is and that I take care of it alone. All thanks to this site I look like a genius. And everyone is always shocked that I use...

My cya is 40. I have been raising FC to 7 every night after sun off of pool because I am petrified to fall below my minimum. I would rather keep it a little too high. Is that silly?

I have been losing about 3.5 FC a day. It's over 90 degrees everyday heat index over 100 and pool is between 91 and 94 degrees does that sound pretty normal? Thanks!!

I have been testing at about 8:30 every night. I have been losing about 2 or 2 1/2 FC but lost 3.5 today. No changes in weather or amount of people in pool. Should I be concerned? I am supposed to stay between 3 and 5 but have been raising to 7 every night. Why did it drop like that today and...

I live out in the country no fence for me.

Thank you. Do they carry that kind of thing anywhere?

Not sure about pump. It's a waterway 1.5 HP 115 volts will it hurt something to use it? Sorry this is way above my head. Thanks!

I've never been away from the pool and I'm nervous. I have a heavy duty brinks 42-1015 timer but I'm not sure if its appropriate for my pump. So I guess I have 2 questions. Is it okay to use it and how long should I run it? I will be gone 7 days. Thanks!

Oops. Your right. It's down now though. Hanging at about 5 FC is it safe to start addressing scale now?

I can't thank this site enough. I feel so empowered. I only lost 2 FC in 14 hours brought it back up to my max recommended amount. Also added MA to lower my pH to 7.2 trying to get rid of scale on walls!

Yep that is my plan. You have been very helpful thank you.

I agree. The test kit has been amazing. I was always guessing before. I am not testing my FC until sunset because I'm trying to set a routine . It was 6 at 5:30 I hope I am okay.

Thank you! This is my third year managing this pool by myself. But does year with good kit. Always had to sing it before. So getting into a routine seems rough. I actually raised my cya to 40 but all same rules apply I will use calculator.

I had to order more supplies and am running out Of stuff to test my FC. I tested this morning and am at 6 will I drop below minimum before I test tonight and bring it back up? I'm trying to get on a schedule. Will it hurt me if I drop below 3?

Thank you fast1971chevelle! I kind of needed a plan. Felt like I was floundering! That's exactly what I needed! I have gotten so used to testing all the time I feel like I am ignoring my pool. Petrified my FC is gonna drop to low. I need to trust the system in place.
