Thank you. I could assume that but assuming has always cost me $$$. Thanks again!

There doesn't seem to be screws and i'm not sure how to get this thing off without breaking it further.

Funny....I Googled and found an old thread on this subject (2018 but too old to reply to). I've been off the board but have referred many to it as it was by far the biggest help to me 13 years ago. Even today my pool water is the envy of everyone who sees it. I have this same little filter and...

Funny....I Googled and found this thread. I've been off the board but have referred many to it as it was by far the biggest help to me 13 years ago. Even today my pool water is the envy of everyone who sees it. I have this same little filter and every summer it clogs about every 10 day from...

Wow! I've had my pool for 10 years now and I can say......it's been TroubleFree. I really owe it all to this site and all of the knowledge I gained in the early years. I've sent quite a few people to TFP and they've always appreciated it. Thanks to all who lent their knowledge and I hope at...

Is CYA CYA or are there differences in sterength? Leslies is anywhere from $6.00 to $8.00 per pound and now I find this on Amazon at $2.80 a pound with free shipping and no tax. Any thoughts? Donnie...

Is there a liquid reagent that can replace the powder and still be accurate using R-0871 and R-0003? The powder is getting harder and harder to find. Donnie

Funny....thats what I told Sean!

Guys, I'm 51 years old and I want to tell you that I have never experienced customer service in my life like I have from AutoPilot with my PoolPilot SWG. I had a setting problem seven years ago upon install and Sean (on this forum) contacted me at home and talked me through it. Now seven years...

Good advice. Thanks.

My STA-RITE Max-E-Pro P6E6D-205L just finished its 6th year of service. While it still seems to run well it is making a little more noise than it use to. I'm considering buying a replacement just to have on-hand. That way I will have time to shop price instead of having to run to the pool store...

BUMP

Any thoughts here Sean.

.....and no problem with the control unit not sensing and reading the cell. Donnie

I have a Pool Pilot DIG-220 and have had a flow through manifold made to replace my cell through the winter just in case of freezing. The control box is hard wired in. Is there a way to turn it "off" or should I just leave it on? My plan was to take the cell and cables in for the winter and...

Does anyone offer a tube and connectors to replace the SWG cell? I was thinking about taking it in the house for the winter. Can any pool supply make one? Donnie

Once in 5 years. This year! Donnie

Re: New Fiberglass Install - suburban-Philly From experience here. Make double sure that the bottom fill is settled and compacted completley before they set the pool in. Mine "was" perfectly level when it was complete and filled and now the bottom is wavy and one corner of the shallow end has...

I'm in Oklahoma and I leave mine open all year. Only had one mishap and that was due to power loss in freezing conditions. Be prepared for such as far as freeze plugs etc. I posted a checklist last year if you can find it. We like looking at the pool as opposed to a cover and the water hardly...

Update Okay.....kept the pool in "shock" of 24-32ppm for 72+ hours. I've brushed the walls, cleaned the scum line and brushed anything thats not fiberglass. The water chemistry is as close to perfect as it can be. I did OFCL test 2 nights in a row and lost less than .5 each night with a trace...

Yea...i scrubbed the do-do out of it with a fairly hard bristle brush and it wouldnt budge. Still no CC's as of 6:00 this morning. FC at 32 and the wife juat added a 1/2 gallon at noon. Actually a cool day 75ish with cloudy skys. Hopefully I've destroyed whatever was in the pool. Donnie

I have one small dime sized yellow spot on the pool floor. I've scrubbed and scrubbed and it wont budge (hand brushed in pool). I don't think its algae. I have maintained shock at 24 - 32 for the past 48hours ( I cant be there all day). Plan on keeping it there and will run another OFCL test...

my CYA is 85ish. I have the swg running also and plan on checking it when I get home. I figured that a 1.5 gallon would push it to 18 + the 3 thats in there and was waiting to see where the swg raises it. Im still confused by the lack of CC's when testing.

Fell asleep early Sunday so missed the OCL test but did do it last night. 9:00 PM 4.5FC 85F/ 6:00AM 3.0FC 81F. I guess something is eating my chlorine but my water is beautiful. I added bleach to bring FC to 18 and set the pump to run 24 hr days. Any other advice? Donnie

I will do the OCL test tonight. Thanks. Donnie

Diluted? Thought that wasn't possible. There is no overflow, I have evaporation issues. Splash out is minimal, very minimal. 99% of the time it's my wife and I. I should be able to replace the spashout wit a teaspoon a day of CYA. All I can gather is runtime. I'm starting with 3 - 4 FC and...

positive. and if i did why doesen't the cya let the ta, salt and ch in on the secret. maybe its really a "cia" leak and my cya can't spell. i think it's the heat and intense sunshine combined with refills. there is no other explanation. btw...why do the pool stores etc stock so much cya? if you...

So...what should I do? I have never "shocked" the pool since I've had it.
