    Returning to TFP

    Last year was a rough year for us medically so the pool was not the main priority. About the first part of June in 2018, we started and it was green, green, green. My husband was taking over because I just couldn't. Our local pool store was his go to and we were never able to get it totally...

    Starting the SLAM

    Ok - first reading: FC = 15.5 CC = 2.5 TC = 90 CH = 80 CYA = 25 Pool is dark to neon green. Can see the second step. Will post a picture later. Vacuuming two to three times a day. Scraping down the sides of the pool twice at least a day. Skimming often. I can do this!!!

    Difference in vacuuming

    What is the difference in vacuuming to waste and vacuuming to the filter? I have never vacuumed to waste so if there is a benefit in clearing up a green pool, can you tell me how to do it? :confused: Thank you.

    Pump Motor Fixed...Need Help

    Oh my has it been something this year. Our pump motor died in March, then a relative took ill and moved in with us taking most of our time and extra dollars. With that said, our once lovely 22,000 gallon pool is now a brown smelly swamp. We have been getting the debris out as we have seen it...

    Motor in pump shot

    Oh my goodness...Of course the motor on our pump would go out on the coldest day of the year so far and when they are forecasting snow 4 - 6 inches of snow. :cry: We have a 20,000 gallon in-ground pool that we keep open year round. We have a Jandy Stealth system with a Century Centurion...

    Closing pool in Va Beach

    Good Monday morning to all! Our water temp is still in the upper 70's so too warm to officially close, but I want to be prepared to close it the proper TFP way rather than the Pool Store way I've done in the past. So...my question is how do I close it properly? From what I've read so far, it...

    What is wrong now?

    I don't know how much more to replace (at this point could have bought a whole new system). We got the 175/182 codes earlier in May. Replaced the flow sensor. Then got the 123 code. Cleaned the salt cell. Still a code so we replaced the salt sensor. Was running with no code for one day...

    Waiting for new salt cell...

    I'm waiting for a new salt cell as our old one has died. We have a 20,000 gallon inground fiberglass pool with a Hayward filter and pump and a Jandy Aquapure 1400 SWG. The new cell won't be here until next week and we are going out of town this weekend. I know I need to get some bleach in the...

    I just wanted to say that I had to buy a new flow sensor for our Jandy AquaPure 1400 system and these guys were absolutely wonderful. When I ordered the part, they had a question, we sent photos of the unit and they recommended the correct one. Shipping was good and the customer service is out...

    No chlorine

    We have a 20,000 gallon in-ground salt water pool. We have a Jandy AquaPure 1400 chlorinator and an AquaLink automated system. Earlier this year, we had to replace our filter (no big deal) and then we got the dreaded 172/185 codes and replace the flow sensor. All seemed good as we were back...

    Not producing Chlorine - Jandy Aquepure 1400

    Here's the story: Replaced filter this year because old one died. Started chlorinator and immediately got codes 172/185. After much online research (thank you all) we replaced the sensor. All the while, our local pool store told us to shock every five days so the water wouldn't turn green so...

    Tiger Shark not working

    We have a Tiger Shark pool vac that is about 3 years old. We have never had any problem with it. Last night I put it in to clean our in-ground pool and it got hung on the steps but I didn't know it until this morning. I took it out, cleaned it, turned the handles around, turned it off and put...
