I have a Pentair boost-rite pump that clearly has something jamming up the impeller. I can use a screwdriver on the back end to rotate the shaft and can feel the jam. I can even free it temporarily, but within 1-2 min it jams again. Can I simply unbolt the front housing, clean the impeller...

Flow from the returns is very strong and doesn't seem to be an issue. Filter pressure when the main pump is on high speed is around mid 20's which is normal for our pool. I will try to do the test you suggested by temporarily shorting the red and black wires and see if that makes the cell flow...

This season when I opened the pool the IC40 is indicating constant red for both low flow & low salt. I am seeing 0 salt reported in ScreenLogic. I did tests (using TFTest Kit) on the water including a salinity test and everything is spot on forum recommended levels including the salt which...

Water looks pretty good actually. Not green at all, just a bit hazy. Found a note left by the guys that opened it. Looks like they added shock and 1 QT of algacide. I will up the FC with bleach to 24 tonight, check it again tomorrow and proceed from there.

Had a company open the pool this year, but I maintain myself. I have the full TF test kit and here are my initial readings: PH - Off the chart FC - 20 CC - 1 CH - 500 TA - 90-100 CYA - 55 Salt - 2400 The pool company must have added some shock else I am not sure how the FC got to 20. I did...

I think the numbers are looking pretty good at this point, but the TA is a hair high. Just looking for a sanity check and wondering if I should be doing anything to adjust the TA at this point? PH 7.5 FC 4.5 CC .5 TC 5 CH 375-400 TA 85-90 CYA 70 Salt 3450 Thanks in advance!

When I had my pool built last year I had the builder put in an autofill, but just stub it out. I am going to connect it up this weekend, but wanted a sanity check on the approach. The autofill is a CMP25504 and they ran a 1" line back to my foundation which is just capped. I also picked up a...

Thanks!

I have 3 copper bowl scuppers. There is some water that sits in the bottom of them, and obviously the pipes, when not in use. Should I be treating them with anything on a weekly basis since that water is not circulating on a constant basis with the rest of the pool or is running them at least...

Opened pool and chemistry is getting close I think. Looking for feedback on next steps especially for CH. FC = 6.5 CC = 0.5 TC = 7.0 CH = 150 TA = 50 CYA = 60 PH = 7.0 If I used the pool math calculator correctly I think I should be adding the following: - 44oz of stabilizer to bring up CYA...

Thanks Marla. We are going with pavers for the decking and patio areas so its really just the coping we are trying to figure out.

We are in the process of building a rectangular 20x40 pool with a raised beam and looking at coping options. We are down to the above, but also putting in an auto-cover. It was recommended by the builder and cover star rep that bluestone be used on the walk-on lid to the auto over even if we...

Saw pebbletec launched a new line called PebbleBrilliance that already has the glass beads and shells mixed vs needing to add them. Just wondering if anyone knows if the texture is like the original PebbelTec or more like PebbleSheen.
