Bio-Dex Skill–It. Bees. Wasps. Does this product repel bees and wasps? What are the side effects? Quaternary Ammonium Compound 49.8% Alkyl (60%C14 30%C15 5%C12 5%C16) dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride 0.2% Dialkyl (60%C14 30%C15 5%C12 5%C16) methyl benzyl ammonium chloride

Can you tell me a little about the reason for that?

I have a motor that needs a new run capacitor. The current run capacitor is rated for 20 µF MFD microfarads. Will a 25 µF capacitor work?

No, not an oily sheen. I heard that because the debris supposedly clusters at the edges, time spent using a leaf rake or skimmer will be less.

Yes it is temporary, but will it help a person to remove floating debris?

Has anyone tried squirting a line of dishwashing liquid / dish soap across a pool? I heard the debris will cluster at the edges.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security I recently asked a company that produces chlorine gas about using it for swimming pools. The representative indicated that if even one of the containers were stolen (in the U.S.), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security would likely get involved, probably...

I’ve heard that Cyanuric Acid reduces the harshness of chlorine in water (from what I read, it’s also called CYA, stabilizer, conditioner, isocyanurate). Let’s say that I kept the Free Chlorine level at 10% of the Cyanuric Acid level. For example, 3 ppm Free Chlorine for 30 ppm of Cyanuric...

I’m having a problem with a Hayward H400IDPL Heater. The flames come on but then go away after only a few seconds. The heater will keep trying and cycle like this without giving an error code. The exhaust will be hot for only maybe 3 seconds. It seems to me like a problem with the flame...

Is there any kind of standardization of SWCG union threads, or are they all proprietary?

The key point I'm interesting in is what will the 1" orifices do to the system. Will larger pipe be useless because of the smaller orifices?

Thanks for the explanation. So black algae is really a form of bacteria. Interesting.

Are there more scientific names for Green, Yellow, and Black Algae? Thanks

Why do Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), Sodium Chloride (NaCl), etc. not create Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) or Hypochlorite Ions (OCl-)?

Could you please add R-0630 and R-0706?

The more hydrogen ions the more basic the solution? I thought it was the opposite.

How do Saltwater Chlorine Generators get Oxygen to create Hypochlorous Acid?

If in the future this problem does happen consistently, is rebuilding this kind of motor worth it, or should it simply be replaced? Part of the reason I ask is because of the inconvenience of taking everything apart and/or taking it to a motor shop.

If in time this happens consistently, is the motor fried?

I'll check it out. Thanks.

If it's not the contacts, what else should I look for?

Capacitance test. The meter showed the run capacitor supplying 19.80 microfarads. It's rated for 20 microfarads. Thanks for the reply.

Hi everyone. I had a problem with the (now old) replacement motor of a Sta-Rite Dura-Glas II or Max E Glas II (What's the difference?). It happened only once so far. When the motor was powered, it hummed / buzzed for a couple seconds then tripped the breaker. I tested the start capacitor and...
