Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. Yeah I was searching everywhere, and that was as close as I could get. They said it was able to do all of the same tests, so I just figured it would do what i needed. Thanks anyway.

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. The only one I could find around here relatively close to me was from Leslie's. It's just a rebranded Taylor K-2005 kit.

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. Well, I tested ph with an older test kit I had, and it showed 6.5. On the Taylor test, the lowest it goes to is 7.0. The color range ranges from orange at 7.0 to deep pink at 8.0. The result was nearly yellow, I guess you could...

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. I went ahead an purchased a nice Taylor test kit, so that should help with getting accurate measurements. Here's what I have so far... ph - 6.5 FC - 0.5 TC - 4 CC - 3.5 CYA - 90 The water is looking better and better. The jets...

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. Thanks for the advise.

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. I haven't been able to take a sample to the pool supply place yet to get the full numbers that were requested. I live way out in the country and the closest one is nearly an hour away. I plan on taking a sample either today or...

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. Well I just wanted to post another update on this. I definitely think the root of my pressure problems have been in the filter as some of you suggested. I had noticed that the system maintained better pressure when I had the return...

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. Ok here's the latest update. I tried doing an extended backwash. Interestingly, as soon as you switch over to backwash, it has a ton of pressure and stays that way. After a minute or so the pressure decreases, and continues to...

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. With it on Recirc the pressure went down to 10psi. Also when I shut the system down, the pump basket stayed full, it didn't lead any of the water out. When I turned it back on to filter, started it up, the pressure went back up...

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. Thanks for the reply. I'm probably going to shoot some video and post it on YouTube as well, just so you can see what I'm talking about. I'll try to put it on recirc and see what happens. I'm patient, so don't worry about that...

Re: So many problems I don't know what the title should be.. Well, right now the water is very green, because it has been shut down for so long. I'll try a long back wash and see what happens.

Hi, I'm a complete newb compared to most here, and I have been searching but haven't found anything that exactly matches my situation. Please bear with me. My pool is about 8 years old (specs in signature), and the last couple of years have been difficult to maintain it. The first problem I...
