When do I know it is time to replace my filter cartridges? I had no trouble with my water chemistry this year, my pressure gauge never increased. I did my typical mid season cleaning and I am cleaning now. By cleaning, I mean I use the hose at a 45 degree angle on the inside and out until the...

I usually bought muriatic acid at Lowe’s - I can only find the Klean strip green - but I cannot find the concentration. Where do others buy it and what is the concentration? THANK YOU ALL!!

The plates look brand new. Literally. I have never had build up on them - ever. Its kind of crazy. I don't know why - but I haven't. I inspect as needed every season and they have always looked perfect. I will for a ninth season then ...

Minimal salt is 2800, max 3600. I should have clarified - I always maintain about 3200 .... but I have a bit of time on the salt addition as the water temp is between 56-59 ish right now. Thank you - as always - for confirming. I have been here for a long time but still need that little nod...

I opened to zero chlorine but blue, slightly cloudy water (very minimal green in corners or along edge). I started SLAM Thursday evening and passed OCLT the past two nights (I like to confirm for two nights). Opening numbers pH - 7 FC/CC/TC - 0 CYA - 30 TA 30 salt 2400 I corrected pH to 7.2...

I installed my SWG in 2014. I Have not had to replace my cell yet. How long do they last and how will I know? I am assuming it is as simple as chlorine levels dropping with no explanation??

I have a pool company coming today to blow the lines and place my safety cover. I brought my pool up to SLAM over two weeks ago and have had the SWG off since then and the FC is still 10. (CYA is 50). Is this FC level OK for the polyquat and closing? TYIA

Sounds good!! Thank you!!

Due to the heavy rainfall from Ida - my CYA has dropped down to 40. Is it worth it to raise it back up this late in the season? I typically close mid to late October. TYIA for your help

Margaret was fantastic. Inventory was low there as well as many other stores. I ended up with the Prowler 930W from Marina Pool. Fedex tracking says Friday :)

Good morning! There is or was a robot thread with a link to a Colorado (?) store for purchasing it. Can this be linked here again? Thank you. If anyone has a strong suggestion - let me know. I think many on here are a fan of the Maytronics found in the above mentioned thread. As always TYIA...

Thank you! That was my thought and greatly appreciate the validation.

Good morning, Monday evening my pump was running and was quite loud. I had normal pressure on the pressure gauge on the filter and water was being circulated. On Tuesday, pump motor was running, no pressure on the pressure gauge and water was not being circulated. Once the pump was taken...

Thank you for your help here. I appreciate it!!

Great information!! Thank you!!

Are you saying I may not need to replace the whole fixture? If I don’t need to incur the expense, that would be great. I figured since the inside was 1/3 full of water and the breaker was tripping that I didn’t have a choice. Thoughts? Could I possibly buy a bulb and a new gasket and try it?

Good evening TFP! I would like to replace this entire light with a new one (the current one is half full of water and causes the breaker to trip). I would like to go to a color changing, LED bulb. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about switching? I am able to do the install...

Good evening! I am going to replace the bulb in my in ground pool light. I have found the correct part number for the gasket, but how do I determine the correct bulb? I would like to move to LED and color changing but I don’t know how to choose. I have the manual Amerilite Underwater Light...

I wish I knew. I purchased the home in 2012. The only thing I have ever ‘done’ with the light is have the pool company change the bulb last year .... I assume I need to remove the light to find that information? Any tips or tricks you can share? The previous owner did not leave the manual or...

Good morning, There is water in my light and won’t turn on. In fact, the breaker for the light won’t even stay turned on. Do I need an entire new light and housing or just a new bulb and O ring? (not sure what that is called goes between the cover and the housing). Conveniently, I had the...

Yes.. I am hoping for just another 48 hours. I think the dead algae just needs to get filtered out. The FC is holding pretty well right now. Just need to remain patient

I opened on Sunday (for obvious reason) and this is where I am 72 hours later. Thank you TFP for always being there and teaching me. I appreciate you all !!

I almost always open by 4/15 as I have a mesh cover .... but why the film on the bottom? Chance of freeze is likely over ..
