Sorry, its actually an inrush current limiter. You can get the part at Digikey (part# 570-1062-ND): http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/SL32%202R025/570-1062-ND/363379 The site you posted earlier has a video on how to solder. If you're not comfortable soldering, buy the part and take it...

Svenpup is right. Looks like an MOV - Metal Oxide Varistor

How are you testing your water? Can you please post a full set of test results?

You are correct! EDIT: Sorry, bad info. See jblizzle below for correct info!

What?!?! You let y_not swim in your pool?!?! Good luck getting it clean now!!! Lol

Also, the procedure for mustard algae states that, once you pass the 3 tests for SLAM you need to raise FC to mustard algae level for an ADDITIONAL 24 hours.

Also, if you use only bleach to add FC, your CYA number shouldn't change unless you are back washing a lot or getting a lot of splash out. Keep dosing for a CYA of 75 ppm.

You could ask your pool person if she can get some R-7065 CYA Standard Solution. Or order some from tftestkits.net This standard should read 50 ppm CYA with whatever tester you use. If you do, please let us know what you find!

So happy for you, Joanne! Great job!!! You are on your way to being a pool snob!

That would be my guess after sitting so long. Could also just be the caps, but i wouldn't expect the motor to spin with them disconnected. The motor is totally enclosed, so to check if it's siezed, you're going to have to drain it, then unscrew the couplings at the suction and discharge of the...

Can't wait to see the pics!

I really like that liner! Love all the pictures!

Awesome! I was just gonna ask if you had any before pics. What a project!

Looks great! Can't wait to see pics with the new liner!

You said returns were blown out and plugged over the winter, but the return plate broke over the winter? Did the lines have antifreeze in them? My plugs have an o-ring that seals against that plate. If a plate were to break, and fall out of place, water could leak into the return piping...

Four day SLAM and sparkly! That's awesome! How did he react when he got home?

Post a picture of your pump and motor and maybe we can help.

Also, just to clarify something: If you did have mustard algae, the correct way to deal with it is to FIRST raise to SLAM level till you pass the three tests THEN raise FC to mustard level for additional 24 hours.

I think he means that, with his symptoms when a diffuser breaks, it is often misdiagnosed as a problem with the inground piping instead of a problem with the diffuser.

Hopefully you haven't posted because you are too busy swimming! Don't leave us hanging.......are you making any progress?

You can do all of the re-tests now with the exception of pH. pH will not be accurate until FC is below 10 ppm. In post #81 you also said your water is clear, so you can also swim!!! while your FC is drifting down from SLAM!!! Post a pic!!! We all want to see it!!!

They should be able to smoooooove that out before setting the liner.

It's working, you just have less dead algae in the pool to clear out, so the pressure is going to climb slower. You can speed things up by adding a little more DE. Just make sure that you are going to be around to watch the pressure!

I doubt there is a tear, you would probably be losing water if there were. I saw earlier that you purchased a vacuum hose but it didn't fit in the skimmer using the vacuum plate. Will the hose fit directly into the hole at the bottom of the skimmer? If it does, sink your vacuum head, or just...

Yes! Edited! Thanks Abigail!

Wow! That looks awesome!

Wayner, do you have an auto fill option on your pool? If you have a leak and the auto fill was adding a lot of make up, CYA would constantly drop.

You might consider putting the liner in a lidded container. Maybe a garbage can if it will fit. I've read that rodents like to chew into stored liners.

Yes, what frog said. Use a 10 ml sample and 1 scoop of R-0870. As long as there are a couple of undissolved crystals of R-0870, you are good. Multiply drops by .5 for your results.

Do you have one of the recommended test kits? Please post a full set of test results. Also, please update your signature with your pool information so we know what type of equipment you are working with. Fine sediment sounds like you are on the verge of an algae outbreak. Pool stores are...
