    Help my husband keeps getting a rash from the pool.

    It has to be bumped because it is getting dirty. It's doing its job. How much had your pressure increased from clean to bump? DE filters do a great job but plug fast with algae. So it's doing its job but you have some algae to kill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DE blowing back via returns

    The de has to pass through the system to come out of a return. So I think what Chief has mentioned would result in de at the skimmer or suction. If The manifold is fine, perhaps the mesh on one of your grids is damaged? When the pump is off and fluid level falls in the filter canister, it...

    Filter end of life?

    That's the exact same filter I cleaned on a friends pool the other day. Can't remember the brand, cute little black r2d2 looking unit. Works very well in his rather dirty location. I was wondering how to acid clean such a beast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Newbie needing a little guidance

    A setup with a company like Aramex is very common with expats living abroad. It just gives you the ability to order and ship things that you may want/need from the US or UK hassle free. I don't mean that you may want an Aramex account just for a test kit, but for all the little things that you...

    Newbie needing a little guidance

    We used Aramex in the ME for freight forwarding for years. Reasonable rates. I see there are 3 locations in Cyprus. Set up an account and get a U.S. and UK address. Then everything you want to buy is just a couple of mouse clicks away!! Ryan Edit: You will find bleach. But maybe not high...

    Backwashing Frequency?

    Whenever you decide to do it, I suggest skip the backwash and tear the whole thing down. Clean completely and re-add the correct amount of DE. That filter will then outlast you. Now some sand filter guy is going to say "that's why I love my sand filter!!!" No tear down required. Then they...

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Came out of the house this morning and the back yard smelled like a chlorine factory. Thought "This is bad..." and jumped in the pool and everything seemed ok. Looked over the fence and two guys are dumping bags of stuff in the neighbor's pool. It's a quarter the size of mine and it looked like...

    Stenner Install and Bleach Storage Tank

    I am leaning towards fixed rate and two timers. My timer is 220 and I am interested in the 110 Stenner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stenner Install and Bleach Storage Tank

    Hi Tim. Is tying the Stenner to the primary timer reasonably simple? I guess I was thinking that I would have the primary pump run for a bit after the Stenner shut down. But maybe not necessary. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Stenner installation will be indoors. I will not be shipping a Stenner tank to Central America.

    Stenner Install and Bleach Storage Tank

    I'm leaning hard towards a Stenner for chlorine addition. I only have 5.25% bleach available so I have to do a fair bit of hauling. We also travel a fair bit. I would like to simplify this with automation. I have high power costs and soft stone in my pool so will not be going the SWG route. I...

    New to SWG

    I have some softer stone in my pool and high power rates. I think I'm going the Stenner route. If not for those two issues, I would likely go SWG. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New to TFP and buying a TF-100 Test Kit, anything else I should add to my order?

    I got the XL option and glad I did. Speedstir is excellent. I will be ordering an extra magnet or two for that. It really makes sampling consistent. I like the sample sizer idea as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding Acid - DON'T DO WHAT I DID! - Now I Am Off to the Doctor

    No need to measure small volumes. Using an empty jug, measure volume increments into the jug. Mark the outside of the jug. Transfer marks to new jug. Estimate according to the mark while pouring. Minimize risk. If MA makes you uncomfortable don't use it. Period. Use dry acid. All that money...

    Stenner pump install using in line puck chlorinator

    Rynd96, Thanks for that. I am in the same situation as you; no one else will be in my pump room but me. So I am not very concerned about the mixing of chlorine type. I see the tie in to the 320 as an easy temporary fix. If I start re-plumbing my manifold it will turn into a big project that I...
