It wasn’t like that at all previously. Only since it was sent back to me. That extra 1/4 turn is all it’s taking to stop the fluid coming out. I’m quite sure with the pump running for a day or two, it would start leaking at the fittings. I’ve emailed the company again to tell them I’m send...

Back again with another issue… After getting my acid dousing pump back and being told it’s working fine, I’m not having issues getting it to pump. I’ve bled the system and it seems to work fine but as soon as tighten the suction and discharge fittings on the pump, it looses suction. I slack...

Thanks David, appreciate all the info. Will see what the company in Bangkok says about it.

Checked the bucket of water this morning 1 hour after the pool pump started (bucket that the acid pump suction line was in) and the level was way down. This confirms the dousing pump is faulty as it was in stop mode, yet fluid was still getting siphoned out. As per suggestion from a poster...

Will do thanks. More trouble than it’s worth

Really appreciate the advice but that’s way out of my league. I would need to send it back to the company I bought it from but the last time I done that (2 weeks ago) they told me they had done full service and it was only the sensor . They even sent me a photo of the sensor with big crack in it...

If you want more pictures of the suction and discharge lines etc, please let me know and I will do this tomorrow. All you guys help is really appreciated 👍

I posted pictures of the dousing pump earlier. I’ve had the pump hooked back up today with suction line coming from a bucket that I marked. With dousing pump in stop position, the level has stayed stable for past 5 hours. Will leave it like that overnight and see if any change. Very confusing...

how to aerate when the ports are already facing upwards?

Ok as of 5 pm my ph has came up a little bit since I disconnected the discharge line from the acid dousing pump. Now sitting at about 7.2. Scratching my head though as the alkaline level has dropped again. It’s back to about 40-45! Not had any rain, acid pump has been disconnected and pump been...

Sorry, I was only ever logging on through my phone but now logged on via my laptop and re-sized some photos. Alkaline is sitting stable at 60 and I still need to add cyanuric acid but obviously I don't want to be doing that until I get my PH back up. Is it possible for acid to be sucked from...

Sorry I’m writing ppm again instead of just the ph number

Yes, still under 7 ppm when I test the PH. My pump stopped at 7 pm last night and started at 7 am this morning. PH on pump saying 7.48 ppm, manual test kits both look close to 6.8-7 ppm. This has been the same for past couple of days. I add soda ash and before pump stops in the evening, I’m up...

Ok so I’ve left my pool all night and day without adding soda ash and I’m still under 7 ppm. Thats me trying to let things balance out. Acid pump has been off for days, not had any rain and nobody has swam in the pool. My PH should have been gradually creeping up but it’s not. I’m really not...

I’m on call, so sometimes I’m overseas a week, sometimes up to 3 months

What does that mean? Regarding your last sentence ?

I live in Thailand where it’s sunny most of the year. Why would I cover it?

I’ve had this pump for a few years and have set the PH as per my manual tests. Never before has my PH dropped so drastically as it has recently. Had years of heavy rain, years of me being away overseas and not being able to check things, years of an incompetent pool cleaners etc etc but never...

As per previous post: When my pump came on again this afternoon, I added 2lbs of soda ash. After a few hours I re-tested, now I have 7.4 for acid (digital reading on dousing pump says 7.8) and my alkaline is sitting around 60 ppm.

My acid dousing pump has been in the off position for days now, if you had read my earlier post. Understand my alkaline was at zero and my PH was way down there (under 5 ppm at one point) just a few days ago. Leaving it alone as you say, would not have been the best option right? Now I think I...

I’ve just recently replaced the sensor on my acid dousing pump. That’s actually the 3rd sensor in the past few years. Its Emaux brand and parts are ridiculously expensive here. I want to bin it but due to the money spent, that’s hard.. I’ve calibrated multiple times and never get it to match...

comes from the government supply. I have isolated any local village well water from entering my pool.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, yes it’s an acid dousing pump and I’ve had it now for a couple of years. Never been particularly happy with it as it never seems accurate and it has pumped too much acid in before. Never to lower the PH to where it has been recently though. I work away from home...

I’ve had my pool for over 6 years and never had an issue with low PH before. In the last week, my PH levels have dropped to between 5 and 6 ppm. I added 5 pounds of soda ash (29,000 gallon pool) and the PH appeared to be coming back up nicely. When my pump stopped circulating last night, the...
