    cloudy water

    I probably know the answer to this before I post. "Needs to be slammed" I'm having a problem with my water this year, other years also for that matter. I have the TF100 test kit. If the Cl level gets to 5 or below I get a cloudy water situation. Not green, just cloudy. I have a Jandy...

    Power Vac pv210

    just wondering if anyone has any feedback on these units. My pool is in an impossible situation. It's located under four large Live Oaks and from March to mid may, I spend far too much time just to keep it looking dirty with a leaf rake and hand vacuume. A robotic cleaner is out of the...

    Jandy Aquapure 1400

    It's that time of year again in Fl to crank things up in the pool. My sensor on my Aquapure crapped out mid last year after less than a year and I've been just dumping pool chlorine in as needed since then.

    how long do pumps last

    I'm about to change pumps or motors. I have a 2 hp superpump II that's running fine but want to make it more efficient. We've had the house for 7 years with never a problem with the pump/motor. The pump is 12 years old and runs year round in Fla. I'm about to put a new 2 speed motor in it to...

    surge protection

    I've got a question for the folks in the pool business and serious DIYers. I live in Florida and have a SWG system on my pool. In the four years that we've been in the home I've replaced a number of components of the SWG including tranformer, two flow meters, and two cells. I'm convinced that...

    chlorine test range with TF-100 kit

    Can someone tell me what range of Cl the TF-100 kit will test to. Can it test to say 20, or do you have to dilute your water sample and multiply for numbers above 5. Thanks.

    Testing for borates

    Hi, I'm a pool forum transfer, I'm wondering if you can tell me what you need to get to test for borates if you are going to be adding borax. I don't see it in any of the test kits. Thanks a lot.
