For the past couple of days I've noticed my Pentair cleaner has not been moving. I hear the booster pump is on but it is struggling. The suction line to the pump is warm and when I remove it no water at all so my pump is overheating. So far no seal leak. I shut it all down and restart the...

I live in Kingwood Texas which was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. Working on balancing my pool but given the circumstances I'm quite pleased at where it currently stands. I have two questions. First, other than my test kit (which I should have a replacement today) how do I know the water is...

Any suggestions? I've been using TFP for over 2 years with absolutely no problems. Pool has been picture perfect the entire time and clear as glass. My current results are: FC - 8ppm pH - 7.3 CH - 240 ppm TA - 50 ppm CYA - 50ppm Here's my problem. I had a little brown staining in my...

I have a Stenner Pump with 15 gallon attached tank for sale, Model No. 45MP2. I paid a little over $400 for it and used in about 6 months. I switched to a SWG. I looking for $150. Due to size it is probably better to sell locally in Houston as I do not know shipping costs.

As a preventative measure, should the shaft seal be replaced on some type of interval? I understand different variables could apply such as water chemistry, poor priming, amount used, location, etc. I've had pumps before where I waited too long and the bolts sheared off or damaged seal...

On my Pentair IC 40, I have a waffle like insert that came with the cell. Very dumb question but which end to I insert it in? I'm guessing the Inflow side to prevent large debris from entering the cell but since the cell is after the filter I think very little chance of this happening. Or...

I'm not sure where to post my question. I have a chlorine pool following the TFP method since August 2015 and everything has been great. I've notice on my travertine spillway in the corner a substance that started off mostly white and now is looking white/blue. It is hard since I tried to...

I have searched online and on this forum but cannot find the answer to my question. I would like to self install a Pentair Intellichlor IC40 this spring but my piping may be a little tight. Everywhere I look the measurement states 17 inches but where is the measurement taken from? If each...

On page 10 of the installation brochure for Pentair's IC40, it references the optimum pool chemistry for salt water pools and the reference to free chlorine caught my attention, It states, "Free Chlorine: 2.0 - 4.0 ppm. Above 4.0 ppm may cause corrosion of metal components". I currently have...

I put my EasyTouch 8 into service mode and remove pump basket lid. I have a back up basket so the swap out happens quickly. The basket has about 2/3 water by the time I complete the basket swap. I pop open my filter to fill the pump basket the rest of the way and then close it. I turn pump...

Previous pool owner who use to have chemical only service. I bought a new house last year and we completed a pool installation with a water fill completed August 1, 2015. Since that time I've been using the TFP method testing daily at 5pm and making daily adjustments. Mostly with adding 96...

My pool was installed a couple of weeks ago and for the past week I have been maintaining the chemicals. I have the Taylor K-2006 and have been testing and adding (mostly acid and bleach) to keep my numbers in check. I have the exact numbers at home but I have to admit for my last pool I had...

This is my third pool but first one I ever built. I researched this site extensively to get informaiton and ideas. Our last pool was a free form pool but my wife much prefers the classic lines so we went with a very simple "roman style" pool. Thanks to DoubleD on this site who enlightened...
