My brand new pump I installed last year is having problems. It's run fine since installed last summer, but Tuesday evening, when I went to turn it on (manual-no timer) it just hummed for about 3 seconds then cut off. It does this every time you try to start it now. Did some searching and found...

Hi all, I ran a search on this topic to see how soon after shocking you can return to swimming. Based on what I've read, it looks like it's safe to return to swimming once your FC is below shock level. Here's where it gets foggy for me: Based on this chart I was referred to for shocking...

Hoping someone can help me. My pump and filter are brand new, everything was just installed this past weekend. Starting this evening, when i'm in normal pump/filter mode, was starts flowing out of the backwash/waste hose. I turned the pump off and back on. It filters fine for about 15-20...

This is my first time measuring everything. I'm just hoping someone can point out if I did something wrong and/or what to do next? These were taken with a TF100 Test kit. FC -1 Ph - 8.2 TA - 100 CH - 120 CYA - 0 I know right off the bat I need to add CYA. I'll get on that right away with the...

So I'm finally getting around to working on the pool in this house we bought last month. Pulled off the security cover and this is what we're starting with. The pool hasn't been used in about 4 years it sounds like. There are A LOT of leaves in there. Probably a good 6" deep of leaves in the...

A few questions: First is in the title - I've bought a new pump/filter/SWG (details in the sig), and I'm not sure if I should be calling a pool company or an electrician to install the pump/SWG electric. Second - From what I understand, they both require 230V, and I have no idea if the...

So we closed on our new house today, which has a pool and needs a new pump/filter. I found a really good deal on a 1.5HP, 2 speed Jandy Flo Pro pump. Can anyone advise if this is a decent pump for my pool and that it's fine for an in-ground pool? This is the pump here, but I have one I can buy...

I've learned a ton reading through pool school and various threads over this past weekend. The pool I'm inheriting with the home we're purchasing needs a new pump and filter (...as in the current pump will not power on). I'm confident in my ability to plumb the pvc up as I've worked with pvc...

Hi all, My wife and I are purchasing a home with a 38,000 gallon in-ground vinyl liner pool. I've spent a good portion of this evening reading the "pool school" topics, but I need a little help. The pool needs a new pump & filter. After reading through the pool school threads, i'm thinking...
