Thank you

Thank you. I am assuming the pump is a vsp. Do you mind letting me know the manufacture?

I currently have a Jandy 1.5 HP single speed pump with the Jandy Aqualink RS6six controler. My pool and spa are approx 19-20k gal and chlorine based with a gas heater. I plan to do the work myself. I am looking to replace the pump with a Jandy variable speed pump and wondering what size I...

Thanks. I am thinking of getting the Pentair clean and clear 420. From what I understand its pretty equivalent and it supposedly will connect directly to the current piping. If anyone has info on this model please let me know. I think I can pick one up from Amazon for about $800. Which is $200...

Unfortunately, Jandy will not cover it as a warranty and will not sell it directly. They gave me a part number and after looking it up I found that this is a very common problem. Some people claim the bottom doesn't work with the older tops and the cost is about $400. So now I need to see how...

Great suggestion. I am looking into that immediately.

Not s I am not sure if its flaw or a mistake I made when I was tightening the clamp and not evening out the pressure.

I somehow have developed a crack in my Jandy filter and need to replace it. I tried using epoxy to seal the inside and outside where the crack is (around the intake pipe at the top) but after a few weeks that is failing. Which I am not terribly surprised by. I am a contractor who has built...

Thank you. PH is staying steady for now and pool looks amazing. I will keep in mind what to do if the PH fluctuates.

I will definitely be looking forward to testing less often and happy to know the TA can also be once a month Thank you!

I am happy to report that today is the first day that all my levels are looking good FC - 5 PH - 7.6 TA - 80 CH - 290 CYA - 40 I will be running my pump between 4hrs a day, brushing twice a week and testing the FC, PH, TA on a daily basis and the CH and CYA Monthly. If there are any other...

I haven't yet but may. I am a part-time wine maker so swirling comes pretty naturally for me. I really appreciate the slow rise advice and have been trying to do just that. After already having to drain the pool to start over I am hyper sensitive to not mess things up and sometimes worry I am...

5/20/19 testing I was out of town this weekend so this is the latest results FC - 1.5 Acid - 7.9 TA - 80 CH - 180 CYA - 20-25 I could barely see the dot at the 30 mark. I have added the bleach and will add the Acid shortly. I will need to pick up more CYA and CH this afternoon and add that...

I also noticed that I have white leaching from our water fall could this be from the low CH

We actually get our water from the Sierra's out of the outingdale water system and lakes just above El Dorado Hills. After reading your post I figured I should call the Water district and find out what their levels are. They said that we have incredibly low mineral levels and that they keep the...

New testing this morning 5/17/19. It looks like my CH is way low but I am not sure how that can happen. I tested the water out of the tap and it is also at 20. But according to the information I have read have calcium this low is bad for pipes which makes me question why our tap water would be...

See, total newbie. Okay I'll def. Retest that tomorrow. Kinda weird that it dropped so much.

WOW! Am I misunderstanding something. I am at 3.4 and I need to get to 250? Just making sure I am doi g this correctly. I filled the vile to tge 25 line and added two scoops of powder which turn ed the water pink. I then added drops until the water was clear again which in this case was 17...

Re: CH - Wow, I didn't catch that but yes it did. It only took two drops. I am guessing I made a mistake the first time around but I'll double check it tomorrow. I am watching and re-watching how to perform these tests trying to get them right. I wasted a lot of CYA powder the first time around...

With the great help I think I am off to a pretty good start. The CYA is almost all dissolved so I have not tested that today and will tomorrow My current readings are as follows FC = 3.4 CC = 0 PH = 7.4-7.5 TA = 80 CH = 20

Thank you. I actually add 4lbs of CYA and it is slowly, very slowly dissolving. I will check the chlorine in the morning and add what is needed again and then check again tomorrow night. My understanding is that I need to first get the CYA and chlorine stable and then move onto the other...

Finally have the pool filled and determined the the pool is 9 feet deep and 17,000 gals and not 11 feet deep and 23,000 gals. Happy I took my time and measured the water. I have started the pumps and I have added 3quarts of 6% bleach and I have add 4lbs of CYA granular to the pool in pantyhose...

Super helpful! I can now relax a bit and wait for the water level to rise! Thank you

You all are super helpful and I truly appreciate it. I will focus my attention on the CYA, Chlorine and then the CH. I def. do not want to damage the finish, super pretty. I will run over to Walmart or Lowes (seems to be the highest recommended on TFP) now. My only question now is do I add...

We recently purchased a new home/pool with sky high CYA. I emptied the pool this last weekend and completed a chlorine wash and power wash to the entire surface. I also cleaned and soaked the 4 cartridges in a TSP solution. I started filling the pool today (from homes city water) at a rate of 96...

Thanks for the welcomes. I just started to fill the pool at 9am at a rate of 32gal per 4min 20sec. With this I should get a very accurate idea of the pool volume. I have not yet tested the water but will shortly. I will also start updating info on my signature.

I am super happy to have found and joined TFP. We recently purchased a new home with a beautiful pool. I have been around polls all my life and have either paid pool companies to care for them or I have taken care of them but to be honest half hazardly. With this beautiful pool I wanted to do...
