Thank you Jason! When sending 100% of the water to the panels the PSI only goes up 2 pounds.

We just had a solar heating system installed on our pool before startup this season. We had the panels placed on the roof of our garage were our pool pump is located. The water is being pushed straight up approximately 9 feet. Our pump is above water level. The plumping for our pump changed...

We are looking to install a solar heating system on our pool for the up and coming pool season, but i have a few questions that i am unsure of that is keeping me from pulling the trigger on the install, and was hoping the pool greats around here could give me some advice. We are looking to...

I didnt rinse anything off at the end of the year last year. Would white vinegar or diluted muratic acid be best?

The weird thing to me that i am seeing as well is the flow meter is still showing flow even when the pump is off.

I purchased the 3/8 liquidator last pool season, and never had any issues with the "white" stuff building up on the parts. But today i opened our pool and started the pump with out any problems. I turned the pool pump off to program the timer and things, and when i turned it back on i noticed...

I cant believe how green the water is.

I think this statement applies to cleaning mold with bleach.

Had a 12 ounce bottle of clarifier left from last pool season and our pool developed a very slight cloudiness. So i decided i would have my wife put in two ounces when the pool pump comes on the next morning. I come home to find out that she had emptied the bottle down to the 2 ounce mark...

Thank you for your help!

Thats what i thought the answer was going to be so i started the shock process in between posts.

Opps yes i did.

My pool has developed a mild cloudiness to it and at first glance i thought the PH was going to be a little high, but to my suprise it was right on par: TC: 7 FC: 5 PH:7.2 TA: 70 TH:120 CYA:30 Could the low TA be causing the water to have a cloudy look to it? Pool calc is calling for Baking...

Mine is buried almost a foot and i put plastic down then filed with pea gravel and landscaping rock.

I have the exact same problem... and it is an endless battle. The only thing i have found that gets rid of the pollen is a skimmer sock.

Just my opinion .... concrete will only crack if there is movement, either the soil underneath was not compact enough and or rebar/wire mesh was not used. I had 9 yards of concrete poured for my driveway with rebar in a two foot grid all the way through it and i have not had a crack in it after...

Don't feel bad.... my neighbor poured 8 and 1/2 gallons of 12% liquid shock into their 24' AGP yesterday as their way of saying they were "shocking" it. On the interesting side, their pool did turn a wild shade of brownish orange this morning.

I am sure the filter will get the loose fibers out, and to be extra sure you could put a skimmer basket sock on to pick out even the smallest of particles.

Well after a good slow sweeping with the skimmer sock in the skimmer and one on the return coupled with another few hours of running the pump with the socks in place the pollen has not reappeared on the floor of the pool. But i did have to rinse the socks out about every 25 min. during normal...

Well i returned from getting my skimmer socks at the local pool store and just for the kicks i took a water sample with me to get them to test it while i was there (all levels tested good). I proceeded to explain to them why i needed the skimmer sox, and the PS employee stated that i in fact had...

Oppps. you were right .5 With the spots coming back that quick do you think that it is impossible for it to be a type of algae?

My pool has been open since April and we had a pool party this weekend (8 Kids, 3 Adults) this was the first time anyone had swam in the pool this year as the water temp is still 66. When we took the solar cover off before the party we seen on the bottom of the pool in a couple of spots had what...

My solar cover has been on for 3 weeks now with the filter running.

Instead of sand I used Vermiculite pool base under my ABG pool with the foam cove pads. (family had allot left over after their pool install) (someone correct me if i am wrong) instead of building up the dirt to level your pool bottom, most manufactures recommend taking dirt out to level, i...

I was leaking a little air after my install yesterday and tried some liquid plumbing thread sealer on the screw in fittings on the flow meter, and that eliminated almost all of my air. I still have some bubbles passing through the suction side but i think its a chemical thing more that an air...

Yes it has the 3/8 upgrade. I got it from pst pool supplies.

Received my new LQ today ... install took at the most 35 minuets counting the unboxing and direction reading. No leaks on any of the lines and i have enough pressure from my pump to max the flow meter out. I have a chemical levels baseline to start with and have adjusted my flow to be in between...

Ordered one yesterday as well. :party:

WOW that question was posted for a whole 7 min before it got a response.. Thank you very much for the quick answer.
