sorry been away a few days. would anyone be able to comment on the phosphates level and whether I need to address that or is it pool store hocus pocus???

So is the suggestion to SLAM the pool? It is not green, water is clear and CC = 0 and my FC has been 3 to 5 consistently once i got the pool going for the season.

ok but why focus on CYA? I had a reading from pool store and it was OK. Does CYA affect what my original posting was about???

FC - 4.5 CC - 0 pH - 7.4 TA - 110 Calcium - unfortunately ran out of reagent in middle of test. But last week it was in range. Cyan - mine only does black dot test, no numerical score 2006 Kit wont do the others. Thanks

It seems that Im always battling a little bit of algae in my pool, what I call a 5 o'clock shadow! Otherwise the water is clear but I feel that I am needing to brush away algae a little too often. I check my water balance daily and today I went to pool store to confirm my numbers. They are as...

i think i have a spare multiport body. will look into that

thanks, Ill look into that o-ring. one more question, I could the "silt" or "dust" that is vac'd from the pool at openng bypass the spider and return to the pool? I had quite a bit this opening and had to vac a few times to get where i am now. also could the DE powder do the same when I charge...

not that easy to see. i am really trying to establish if the leak at the waste port and possible filter media getting into pool are related or 2 separate issues. can earth or vacuumed silt pass through the gasket the way water does?

Thanks for the prompt reply. The filter is Hayward DE4820. The MPV is SP0710XR50. The gasket was an Amazon seller part seen in the attachment. I actually replaced all the filter elements using Pleatco PFS2448 a few years ago as there was some rub out of the filter fabric at the bottom of one or...

Last year i started to notice 2 things - a small leak out of the MPV waste port of my Hayward de filter while in filter mode and a sense that i had a constant presence of "silt" at the bottom of the pool. This year I replaced the spider gasket, the old one looked fine but did it anyway. well...

I closed my pool in mid October and balanced my pool properly before but for some reason when i added the winterizing chemicals the Ph shot up. I never bothered to check the Ph after chemicals in the past. Is this normal? Does it dissipate in time?

I bought a pool winterizing kit for my 25k gallon in ground pool. Before applying the chemicals I set my water within specified range. The pH was approx 7.4. After applying the liquid winterizer the pH shot up way beyond 8.2 on the top of the scale. This is very alarming. Looking for an MSDS...

The summer has been trouble free, until now. In the last month we have had some crazy weather on Long Island. Torrential rains and now extended heat and humidity. Green algae has started to be a nuisance. Pool looks great but I notice spots of algae on walls and bottom. I brush it away, pool...
