Hello All-- Needing support with purchasing a new pool pump for an in-ground pool. Currently have a Hayward Flo pump purchased in or around 2012; I am being told the motor has gone out. Is this the standard life of one of these pumps? 2nd any recommendations on the best pump brands, vendors for...

Hello Everyone-- I have a Polaris 360-- that is several years old, it works, but seems I am always replacing parts. Also, it does not seem to clean efficiently at times. The clerk at the store suggested purchasing the Polaris P39 Pressure cleaner and adding the PB4sq booster pump to my system...

Thanks for the info!

There seems to be a bunch of worms in our pool-- anyone in Texas having this problem and more importantly how to get rid of them? Please help!!!!!:confused:

This helps us too-- just one more question or two: So, we continue to run the pump through the winter and manage the chemicals as needed-- I assume. Is a pool cover necessary in Dallas, Texas for the winter or does keeping it "open" mean business as usual? Would a leaf bagger be necessary? Just...

No the pump would not prime when the hose and cleaner were removed--. Additional question, wondering if removal of the little flaps attached to the pool just before the skimmer would cause something like this? A pool guy came to find a leak awhile back and removed those flaps--stating we did not...

I was able to get it going last week--after posting this thread. Added water to the pool and manually primed the pump. Magically this cleared the problem up. Yeah right?! Well that was last week-- tonight the same problem has occurred again. With the pump detached--the gulping stops--but all the...

Finally-- have the pool chemicals at a good manageable level of understanding--- now have question regarding our Polaris 360-- was doing just fine. Now seems the hoses are letting air in around the connectors--- seemingly leading to loss of pressure and water--the skimmers seem to make gulping...

Now these stains-- Now that the chemicals are where they need to be-- it appears we have stains--that are brownish in color and some scaling I think-- on our plaster. How best should we address these? Thanks

What is the suggested positions for the jets to move debris from the surface of water to skimmers? We have three jets, one near the steps a few feet from the skimmer on the same side of the pool and almost across from the skimmer on the other side of the pool; and two on the far end of the...

So--as all have recommended I started the slamming this AM. The water is clear--I did adjust the Ph first and began slamming. Since the CC is with in range and the water is visibly clear--what should my goal or target be? How will I know we are done slamming? I will definitely check "every nook...

Ok-- did the OCLT and the FC dropped by 1.5 ppm overnight. Was 9 last night and dropped to 7.5 this AM. The CC is 0.5 this AM; with that said--looks like I need to slam- right? even with it being just .5 more than should have been lost--is that correct? I have been bleaching daily--one day was...

Just completed first week of maintaining the TFP way. Have a couple of questions: Here are todays chemical results: FC=0.4PPM CC=0.2PPM Ph=7.8 TA=80 CH=250 CYA=50 From what I understand, with the exception of the FC these numbers are within range. It seems like we have put in quite a bit of...

If our CYA is in between two levels at 35--how do we calculate our target FC/shock FC/minimum FC? I was adding the two variables and then dividing--is this accurate? Also, our CC has been at 0.4-- from what I have read on TFP it should be no more than 0.5--is the 0.4 too close, should we be...

Thanks Jason and Jeff! We have the Taylor K2006 FAS-DPD Complete Test kit.

Hello All!! My mother and I have taken the plunge to use the Trouble Free Pool method! Hoping to get a couple additional tips-- 1). When it rains-- in the past the pool store had us add shock-- do we still need to shock when it rains or go by our chemical results? And related to that if it...
