It seems impossible to find a lower runway, left turn, for an interfab wild ride slide. Anyone have a good source for parts like this ? I hope not to buy a new slide

I don't know what I'm talking about, but after 7 years I just switched (in the middle of switching) to SWG. I added a check valve before the heater, and plumbed so I could bypass both if needed. I don't think a bypass of the SWG was needed, but while I had the whole pump station torn apart to...

The pool school I got from the builder was about as good as the pump station the recommended. If you can read instructions on the test kit box, you won't learn anything from the instruction. I learned everything from reading here and never listened to the pool store or called the builder. Any...

Just to wrap this thread up, I took a swim and did not find any holes. The water is too far below the light plumbing for that. This brings the main drain back into question, but I got 🧠 freeze before I could unscrew the covers so I'm going to fill it heat it, then dive in to plug them. If the...

I've been watching the level for 2 months. I believe it is back down as low as it will go. 1/2 above the mark I made last month. A lot below the one I made last week. I haven't found a liner problem which I why I'm thinking lights or stairs. I'm just not sure what I'm looking for if it's not obvious

Ok, here's the situation. My pool is losing water. It possibly started last summer late. A mid winter snow storm destroyed my mesh cover which is how I noticed the pool was danger low. I added some water and marked the level a few weeks ago. Seemed to be alright so I put a lot more water in; and...

Circupool RJ45. My signature is off because my pump station is disassembled and I'm rebuilding. I track my balance carefully but my heater prematurely wore out. I'm on the north coast, it gets used a lot. Blows my mind the front of the unit says to install a check valve but installers don't do...

Here is what I am trying to do. I was thinking while I am at it, I could isolate both the heater and SWG. I only ordered 1 three way and 1 check valve for the heater. Now I am thinking the best way to do this would be a 3-way on each side of the SWG.

I am replumbing my equipment pad. I would like to be able to isolate the heather and SWG. What is better, 3way valves or tees with a ball valve on each side.

That is interesting. My pump doesn't run 24-7, and I don't always have tri-chlor in the down-stream feeder, but I have been using it a lot this summer because of house sitters. In the last 24 hours I just started reading about by-pass and check valves. Blows my mind how negligent the pool...

Since this pool has been installed I have been crazy about the chemistry. This is the first year I have run higher Chlorine because my CYA is reading 80. I assume this is from the Tri-Chlor, but I was using it because I had it and I was hoping Chlorine costs would come back down by next year...

I can't seem to get pics to upload. I'll try to shrink them on the computer. Yea! Heat exchanger is way cheaper, but only if the rest isn't hanging on to life

My pool has been loosing some water and it's wet around me heater so I took it apart. Wowzers! Everything is wet! I think there is insulation between the burners that is like mud. Think I can replace just the heat exchanger?

Has anyone ever done that math to figure out if an industrial chlorine powder would work? Save all those jugs too.

I replaced the seals twice this week. Pump sounds the same as always. Where would the leak be if it was bearings? Would it be more in the motor housing than the water filled housing?

So I open the pool this year and my 2HP super pump is leaking a good volume out the bottom. After losing a ton of water the pool is open, clean, and I am ready to take on the pump. I buy all new gaskets and replace them. To my surprise it doesn't fix the problem. I hold my breath and go in the...

Thanks. I filed the feeder this morning because I ran out of liquid chlorine, turned it up, and ran the pumps most of the day. I will am emptying now so the OCLT is accurate. Why 10ppm target if shock level on pool math chart is 16?

My pool has been open for a few weeks with no problems. I noticed the pool was a bit cloudy and burning through more bleach than anticipated. At the point I have had 0 fc readings twice. I am headed to the store for some bleach and plan to add just after sunset, test in 30 min, then see what...

Skimmers are full and functional. I just cleaned them. There is no water loss. When I turn the pump off water squirt out both sides of the pump basket lid.

I just fired everything up from the winter because I noticed some stuff growing so I wanted to get the pool up fast. I believe I have a leaky gasket on the filter basket. I have suction and operating at normal pressure. Can I keep this running till I get to the store tomorrow or do I risk damage...

If I use ph- powder for the acid wash recommended here in a 10:1 mixture, how much do I add per gallon of water?

Thanks guys. Yea, so when I was first restarting the system air, then a little water, and a little DE. Now it just drips a little water. I will try your tips when I get home today.

I let someone vacuum my pool the other day, and they pulled it out without disconnecting it from the skimmer first. I noticed rather quickly because I heard a strange noise from the pump.:mad: I proceeded to re-start the system as if it was the first time for the year. The weird thing is now...

Paul, i clicked on your link so it seems you might know the answer to this. What is the effect on the heater of have the in and out lines crossed? Last year when I winterized i must have switched them and didn't look close enough this year when I opened because I didn't take them off. Since...

I have had my pool open for a few weeks now and just turned the heater on. My pool heated up to 75, then I noticed the HS error light was on. My heater is only a year old, i have a call into the pool builder but haven't heard back. Does anyone know if this is a part that commonly goes bad (so I...

I would suck try to remove as much foam as you can so it doesn't drive you nuts looking at it. I recently had trouble passing the OCLT because of an ammonia problem and I noticed holding FC at 12-15 was the trick. The days it was 10-12 I didn't see any results on the OCLT. Maybe it is by chance...
