Thanks so much. Any recommendations on how to get those out without draining the pool. Thanks

Good afternoon, I am trying to identify what type of stains these are on my plaster pool. I live in Florida and sure, do leaves sometimes touch the bottom, yes! But I have never seen these until this year. I keep my water balanced using the SWG suggested Salt Water Chemicals Chart. Recent...

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!

Good morning, My current water heater (Aqua Cal SQ110) has finally had it's day after 10 years. I am in the market for a new heater. Will probably stick with Aqua Cal. My question is, I am not sure what size I really need. I live in SW FL and I am wondering if I can get a way with the smaller...

Thank you for the quick reply.

Good morning, I have had my Auto Pilot Nano for 5 years and it's not producing chlorine any longer. I called today and the guy, to my surprise, said he's surprised it lasted that long and wasn't crazy about that company any longer. He's trying to sell me a Pentair IC30 and when I searched the...

Thanks for all of your responses. Yes, I do have a heater I am running. Probably not so much in the summer since I live in FL. Not sure about how much flow it takes to get a good waterfall action or even how to test that? It sounds like the Pentair SuperFlo then is a good route to go maybe?

Good evening, I am in the market for a new pool pump and I was looking into variable speed because I've heard they're more energy efficient. I am currently running 1.5 HP (specs below) to power a rock waterfall feature. Originally, I was looking at the Pentair Superflo vs Variable Speed Pump...

Thank you guys for the quick reply.

Good evening, Quick question. I had to shock my pool due to a little bit of yellow algea (which I'm not sure why I developed because I keep my readings up to par using TFP guidelines but this is my 1st incident this year and I live in FL so..) I shocked the pool using liquid chlorine and the...

Hi Guys, Hopefully just a easy question here and I'm just not sure where to navigate to, but I am looking for a question I posted to the forum a couple of months ago and the responses I received. Is there a place somewhere on TFP that saves your forum questions and the responses or no? Thanks...

Thank you Jason!! I will stick to the article and ignore CSI!

Hello, Easy question. One of the first articles I ever read on TFP was the "Recommended Levels for SWG" and I've been targeting those readings to a tee. When I enter in my readings which are : FC = 6.0 CC = 0 pH = 7.5 CYA = 70 CH = 300 ALK = 70 In addition, I also select Type of Pool =...

Update as of 7 PM EST I am not longer getting the drip now however, still would like to know where the O-Ring goes. I ordered a replacement since it was missing. Hello All, I am very frustrated when trying to replace my old cartridge which is a Unicel C-8409 with the same Unicel C-8409. It...

Thank you Richard! I couldn't remember if I turned it back the right way after using the vacuum? I remember using the Pool Cleaner and adjusting the RPM's and you're correct, it was more towards 6 o'clock position to increase the RPM's. I just wanted to make sure I turned it back after...

I'm sorry, I am still trying to learn valve positions. This is the correct position for the valve correct? Or should it be adjusted? Thanks for your help.

I didn't understand a thing until your last sentence LOL!! Sounds good! I will leave it as is. Thanks Jason. I'll look on your site and study how valves, pipes and filters work since I feel like a pro now with the water chemistry and using the Taylor K-2006.

Hi Jason. I went outside again and this time, I was able to move it after using a little more force no problem. So, to answer your question when I turn the heater off, it only went down to 7 from 8. Not sure if that surprises you or not? Not a big change. Atleast, not as dramatic as from 12 to 8...

I am glad I got the thumbs up on adding the bleach! Sweet!! OK, you're going to think I'm retarded so I appologize. I went outside and I see on the valve opposite the handle "off". I tried turning it like you said to the right so "off" is pointing towards the heater, but it doesn't want to turn...

I can try that Jason. May I ask you how do I close the heater completely? Right now, the valve is at 8 o'clock. Would I set it to 9 o'clock or 6 o'clock. The reason I asked about the chlorine output is because initially, before he changed anything, I was dialing in my chlorine to generate 5...

Yes, it's electric. It's an AquaCal Model SQ-110 102,500 BTU's. So, do you think I should put it back in the middle to generate 12 psi's again or leave it? Thanks Jason.

Not really sure I needed to send a picture, but since I'm new and still learning, valves is not something I've spent much time on. Just perfecting the water chemistry for now. Anyway, I had a new SWG installed a few weeks ago and I'm sure the guy was trying to be helpful, but I just want to...

Yes, you're absolutely correct. The 2 wheeler has less hoses. I want to say 2 less? OK, I'm sticking with the two wheel version! Thanks for your help guys.

I think it's overkill as well because it's not like I have a huge pool. As far as price, if I went with the standard white model, only a $30 difference, however, if I go with the limited edition gray, it's $100. I was leaning towards the two wheel limited edition gray since I have a darker...

Hello All, I've decided that I am going to order The Pool Cleaner suction side and I've read the differences for 2 wheel vs 4 wheel and it seems that the 4 wheel is designed for larger pools and a depth greater than 7 feet. However, I was talking to a representative and they said that because I...

Hello All, I know this is probably a dumb question but I just wanted to ask and double check to make sure I'm following the Recommended Levels for my pool. I have a SWG, Inground, Wet Edge Finish (Pebble Tec) so I'm assuming that if I stick to the guidelines for SWG Plaster, I'm golden...
