I don't have an auto-fill system and I just re-piped my pool pump a few months ago. I have little to no air leaks. I'm wondering if i'm just not adding enough CYA - i don't actually know a good way to add it other than throwing a sock in and waiting a day or two. Maybe I'm just not putting...

hi there - been a member for 2 years or so - did the pool school - bought the tf-100 test kit or whatever it is. I use liquid chlorine and have had pretty good success the last 2 years. Now my question, is my CYA levels. I live in Florida with intense heat all day 90 degrees + and complete...

I'll do that thIs week... I may have to continue shocking. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I meant fast after the fc levels were stable. My shock level was like 40 ..oops.. and then as I murdered the algae, it was around 10 then 8 then 5 all within a few day. I think I just have to check it more frequently and run my pump more. I let it dip too low when my stabilizer was low and...

Yes.. I run pump for 8 hours a day but I have this weird eco eztech variable motor that doesn't seem to work right. When I lower the speed, water doesn't flow very fast. Hard to explain but it doesn't fill up pump lid like it does on full speed. I'll try to lower my cya again a tad and keep...

I've been through pool school, bought the test kit, and thought i mastered it but still have algae creeping around. FC 5.5 CC 0 TC 5.5 TA 140 (little high) CYA 60 Ph 7.5 12k pool vinyl liner i had the CYA issue at but turned my dark green swamp with live tadpoles into clear swimmable pool...

hmm i guess - i'll be checking around for more leaks. It has to be it - could an air leak in my filter housing cause an issue or is it always before the impeller?

Ive been reading the pool school, bought the recommended test kit and understand the test kit, and finally replaced all of my orings and have perfect suction and I'm 99 % i have no suction leaks. My problem now is that I cant get my filter to filter - now that my pump seems to be running better...

I've replaced all of the o-rings i could find - the pump lid o ring, the jandy valve one and the two little ones on the handle, the filter big o-ring. The skimmer isn't sucking in air - the pump is working great - it just doesnt seem to fill up the cartridge any more or once it fills up and all...

hello all i have a vinyl pool 15 x 30 12000 gallon-ish pool that i've been losing my mind over since becoming a pool owner. I've had a tree fall in it, bought a new cartridge,, had my electrician burned my motor out and I finally figured out that my pump o-ring needed to be replaced. I had...

just ordered my TF100 - im going to try the whole reduce your CYA thing by refilling the pool and re run the numbers next week when i get my kit. is there a general consensus on here that pool stores are terrible? I've pretty much developed that opinion on my own - my fiance got sucked into a...

i'll order one of those test kits. I guess i can just drain the pool about a 1/3rd and refill - i've read about that in the past. I think because the stabilizer i dumped in about 3 months ago probably screwed me there. During my first few weeks, I just dumped stuff in and hoped. Now that...

Hi there, Live in Florida - new pool owner and i got it running after some initial help but then amtree fell in it right after i got a new pump and vinyl liner so that was cool. I got that fixed but just cannot keep my pool clean. Its driving me nuts. I have a 15 x 30 vinyl in ground pool...

Re: 1st time pool owner - worked fine and then a tree fell i Okay - I bought one - well the ace hardware version but i think its the same effect.. I'll just keep doing it. I'm supposed to do it from pump side back to skimmer right? I've read some people use ice to use as somewhat of a...

Re: 1st time pool owner - worked fine and then a tree fell i Hmm okay. That's what I'm thinking. It still must be clogged. I did pressure wash my catridge with low pressure. I took apart the jandy? Valve that controls skimmer md. And saw a stick float by from skimmer side to md but I...

Re: 1st time pool owner - worked fine and then a tree fell i yep - i had the pool running about 2 weeks maybe then crashed and burned its a catridge filter - its fairly new. To be honest, 1st pool - 2 months into my homeownership and my house is older - 1973 so im assuming my pool is older...

Long story short - bought house - replaced vinyl liner - new ecotech variable speed motor - older hayward pump in Central FL - my pool has one main drain and 2 jets and the skimmer everything worked good - i think there was some lower than average pressure but it worked fine. NOW tropical...
