Do you think we're talking big bucks to power 1 hp vs. 3/5 hp?

My Jacuzzi Cygnet 3/4 motor went again for the 2nd time in 4 years right after I spent my last stack on a new liner this year. Needless to say, its not a good time to for me buy a new pump. Also need to consider I may want to get a full upgrade on a fitration system in a few years as my Jacuzzi...

UGGHHH! I got rid of the yellow stains a month ago and now new ones have emerged. The plastic stairs and and the shallow corners have some yellowing happening. I did the vitamin C test and it cleared. Does this mean my metal stains are back? I have guests coming over this weekend.....can I still...

I'm using strips and estimating based on color ranges....going to pool store for printout

thanks. CYA: 60, Alk: 150 FC: 2.5 pH:8.2

OK Pool experts....I have had some great success over the past two years with crystal clear water....today that changed. I walked down to my pool as saw the start of some cloudy water....FC is about 2.5, but PH is kind of high 8.2. Is that diminishing the chlorine? What should I do? B

I got the TC down to almost 0, put in two pounds of Trader Joe AA and had a slight fade of stain. Put in a third pound last night and no change. Should I put in a fourth? I'm ready to give up!

Thanks I want to start the treatment, but can't find any bulk AA anywhere. Is the only place to find it online? I live in Cincinnati...any ideas?

Thanks.....If I do the AA treatment, can we swim next weekend? Curious, the 4 vitamin C tabs I used in the test dissolved to a power on the pool bottom and cleared the stain where the substance settled. Is it possible to target the stains with the AA in effort to use less and not have to alter...

I tried the vitamin C trick and it seemed to take the stain right out. Now What? The stain I have in my deep end is about 3 foot in diameter? Thanks, Ben

I just opened my pool and had several questions around SWG. I installed it midway last season and had water pretty much in balance...I just tested and here's the results: TC:6.3 FC:5.8 pH:6.9 TA:40 CH:250 CYA/stabilizer:10 I know I had to keep my dial in my Goldline SWG real low at less that 10...

Gkruske, Did you get the same board I'm looking for $50? I'm going to ebay....

Great. Thanks, I'm going to pick it up. Did you have to replace the element that it comes with or anything? B

Pool Clown-- Would you take a look at this one: http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/pool-par ... id=GN26946 Does it look like the right replacement? It looks tan. Thanks, Ben

Hey its pool time is almost here in Cincinnati...Trying to get ahead of the tasks, my Raypak RP2100 appeared to need a new PC board that controls the thermostat. The item number is f352010 and goes for anything from $300-$500 online and is not returnable. Here are the symptoms: LCD Display is...

I have a problem that may be familiar to someone out there (hopefully). I've recently discovered a pretty large tear in my liner about 5 inches long and repaired it with temporary clear vinyl patch (with very light cement). In the interim, I've obtained a matching piece of the original liner...

Okay, related issue....now chlorine is too high. I originally set the aqua rite to 50% and since turned it down 10% each day (3 days), But I still get a 5+ (that's the highest it reads) for total chlorine. Its now set for just below 5% and hoping for the best. My salt is a little high at 4400...

Thanks Jason...most helpful!

I use strips and it usually reflects the PS results except for low CYA...anything below 30 doesn't seem to register on the strips. Do the really good test kits use the same color code type measures? I find it hard to read those. I had a kit that had me add drops to a glass things and I couldn't...

Thanks everyone for saving me about $60!! B

I just installed My SWG and followed the manufacturers recommendation on how much salt to add. My documents say my pool is 22,300 gallons and the chart had me put in 587 LBs of salt to reach 3400 PPM (since I had no salt in it at all) and I'm now getting readings of 5500 PPM! I put in 15 bags...

I just installed Aqua Rite SWG and took my sample to "pool store" and they tried (as they always do) to sell me calcium hardness additive. The manual says 200-400 is in range which I thought I read somewhere on this site that's not necessary with a vinyl liner. They also gave me some hoo haa on...

Thanks again....and here are some pics of my "Backyard Oasis". B

Thanks everyone!! I pulled a Jacques Cousteau with my diving mask and searched every inch of the liner and found about a inch tear in the deep end...cut a patch and scuba'ed to the repair site and it worked like a a charm! Also, I replaced the pump drain plug gaskets (actually new plugs were...

I live in southeast Ohio and losing about an inch of water per day. My pool is 18x36 20K gallons. I also noticed I'm getting some air bubbles in my return and the pump always has a little are in it. I've tried several times to re attach the pump basked cover, but the air remains. It seems primed...
