I can’t seem to find the Hayward OmniLogic literature for eclipse settings. I am guessing that it will slowly ramp down my SWG percentage as the eclipse progresses and then slowly ramp it back up as the eclipse is ending. I am panicking because I’m going to end up with more FC if my pool...

Hi all - my pool strangely does not have an overflow port. This is super annoying because hopefully I just happen to be home when we get 3" of rain in 1 day in Houston, and...I have to go out in the rain, turn the spigot on, set a timer on my iphone so I don't forget about it, then go back out...

Visited a relative in FL. Jandy Intellicenter. We could not figure out why the pump was coming on when the filter pump program was outside of its programmed run hours. Had a seemingly unrelated issue that the pool light was not working. I eventually discovered that: -the pool light, which we...

Let the dog out tonight and didn't hear the comforting sound of my 2-speed Hayward on high speed, as it is supposed to be at this time of night. Control panel indicated it was on high speed, but it was clearly not on al all.. Cycled it to low (no response) and then off. Put it on high and it...

Link to previous post where I used vitamin C to confirm iron staining, complete with before/after pics of spot treatment: Previous Post I plan to drain and refill. I have no desire to add sequestrant and fumble around with more chemicals. Leslie's super-accurate iron testing (sarc) says I...

Installing Hayward T940. I have never used the inline tab chlorinator, so I am fine to just leave it. In the pictures, the red is the return to the spa jets, only used in spa mode. Green is spa spillover, only used in pool mode. Questions: 1. Since I have never and will never use the inline...

Check it out. It has a sticker with a number A420935. But I cannot find out what piece of equipment this is or more importantly what oring it takes. Notes: I have all Hayward equip for what it’s worth. I don’t use this stupid thing but it has a small leak and the current oring has calcium etc...

Moved from this thread - HERE Following!!! Tried vitamin C test on left hand corner of step and it worked like a miracle. I want to do AA treatment so this thread is super informative. And yep I have read the TFP AA article :)

As in subject, if I change from 12.25% to 10.5% the FC and salt calculation is the same. What’s the dealio??

Buddy fired PB. I tested his water 5 days later. FC 32 (not typo). PH 7 (and affected by FC so who knows what it is). CYA off scale when diluted 50/50 with tap water, so somewhere way north of 200. We immediately removed 7 (not typo) pucks from the inline feeder. Anyone have any similar...

The little stopper in the skimmer that prevents the weir door from opening into the pool is about to come off. I searched some threads, and it looks like people have had success with Loctite marine adhesive. However, I was curious if anyone knows if these are made of PVC. If so, it would seem...

I'm currently a jug-lugger, been on the TFP wagon for 1 year 2 months and 29 days. Might make the switch to the SWG switch this year. Questions: I have Hayward SP3215X202 pump. It's a 2 speed pump. What are the 2 RPMs that it runs at for low and high speed? What wattage is consumed at each...

Ok, what’s the deal? I’m following all TFP rules, regulations, bylaws, and covenants. If I don’t brush every week I start getting mustard algae. It begins to appear on the sides of the shaded walls of the pool, never the bottom. It brushes off easily and you can see the “poof” of MA dust as you...

Taking some web based training at work. This is the first slide of a module. Thought of y’all…

I’ve learned a ton on this forum. Really, a ton. After only 4.5 short months here, I’ve noticed several other posts with the same …let’s call them “misconceptions” …that I initially had at some point. I’ll describe them below and offer my thoughts. Of course, if I’ve gotten any of this wrong...

I test FC every night with my K2006C and SpeedStir and Sample Sizer. About once a month, I get an anomalously low FC reading that just doesn’t make sense and I “know” ain’t right. Then when I add 5 drops of “CC Juice” (sorry, have not yet memorized reagent part numbers…guilty as charged!) it...

We have owned this house and pool for one year now. I am now on my third one of these things. I would pay 80 bucks for one constructed of 100% stainless steel. The failure mechanism is always the same. The dang flapper part breaks off. Today, I just noticed it laying at the bottom of my pool. So...

Ok, so… i turned my spa on (heater off) just to circulate freshly chlorinated water thru the spa related pipes. All good. Then I turn on the blower for a minute just to evacuate the blower related pipes of any old water so that when I turn the blower off, freshly chlorinated water enters those...

Video is self explanatory. Loving it!!!

I’m losing 6 ppm per day. CYA is 60. Adding bleach at night to get to 11ppm; test next night, I’m at 5 ppm. Confirming I actually get to 11 after adding, so bleach is not weak. OCLT passes. Consensus seems to be loss of 3-4 per day is normal. Can anyone in similar climate with zero shade...

Been TFP’ing for 2 months now. Pool gets pretty much zero shade from the Houston sun. I’m definitely noticing the change in seasons. I’m dumping nearly a gallon a day (today 14 cups), up from less than half that amount several weeks ago. I measure and dose at night. My CYA is 50 so target FC is...

I’m getting my bleach from Pinch a Penny. 2.5 gal of 12.5% for $10.18 after tax. Hope that’s a good deal. I took a water sample in today just for kicks, as I really don’t need them because I am fully armed with the (cue: rainbows, unicorns, and crescendoing philharmonic resolution) Taylor...

So, do I need to FULLY dissolve this stuff before proceeding with the test. I know everyone loves the magnetic stirrer. But just pretend I don’t want to get one for a minute… is fully dissolving it necessary? If so, I’ll dump it in and come back an hour later to proceed. ;)

Man, the internet is killing me! I planned for a month before ditching the pool guy...bought 50 lb bucket of trichlor pucks, got a Taylor 2005 kit, watched 370 million youtube videos, read the entire Taylor manual that came in the kit, tested my pool water before and after pool guy came for 4...
