What's weird is my invoice from the place that did the work says "Aqua-Rite Salt System 925 expert line" but it's a blue works....wt.... I can't remember which exact model of the blue works it is. I question the work this pool company did though. I paid them to resurface the whole bottom of my...

These are the test results I have on my pool. Cya 30 or less. Calc hardness 170 Total alk - 170 pH test - 7.6 Free chlorine - 2 Combined chlorine - .5 The cya test chemicals are a year out of date so I don't know how much that's affecting my reading but I filled it to the top and could see...

Just got our generator installed this summer. I've had it on 100% output at 2600ppm all summer. I keep periodically having to shock my pool or it goes green on me. Especially when the lawn gets mowed and grass gets in the pool. Is this normal? I figured if I had a SWG, I wouldn't really ever...

Just got done talking to the previous home owner again (spoke to his wife last time, and him this time). He was saying there is a spring right beside the slope of the pool and as soon as it rains it activates that spring. He said they put some kind of pipe with holes in it under the deep end of...

Thanks so much guys. I managed to track down the contact info for the previous home owner, and he actually did what you did duanebe (but not as nice) and we have a large pipe just like yours going to the deep end of our pool (we've been wondering for 2 years what that was there for), but he...

Guess I'm talking to myself at this point. Wish someone would join in. After more work (finally got the liner out of the coping) I noticed water is pouring back into the deep end through the cracks. I'm just going to hire a company to come in and redo this bottom for $1,000-$2,000. Sigh. In...

Here is what the bottom looks like. Looks like I'll need to patch a bunch of holes. What are you guys thoughts on this? https://imgur.com/gallery/P6Xy8

Well not looking good so far. Drained all the water out into the sewage area behind all our homes, and noticed water was coming up beneath the liner floating it up. Removed the liner and the water fills the deep end to about an inch into the shallow end. Leaving the pump on hoping it will...

Are there any good threads with pictures/video on how to remove the pool liner from the coping/track?

Starting the process.....you should see the amount of pennies I have removed from this bead....

Ok so got the new liner in, but not installed. I hooked that T fitting back up to the PVC piping by the pump for that odd piece that sucks on my liner. Any advice on doing this first liner? I've also bought a liner lock as well. From what I can tell in the documentation the previous owner foamed...

We also have one of those auto Polaris robots that we used around once a week.

It only has the skimmer if that's what you mean? It doesn't have that bottom of the pool suction/cleaner.

It just looks like the vinyl wall with this screwed on top of it: https://www.poolpartsonline.com/p-10223-87200400-american-uf-face-plate.aspx The pipe leads back to the pump where it's T'd into the pump. I actually had to redo the piping and I didn't reconnect that section of the pipe. I can't...

I've found paperwork where he supposedly put down a foam barrier in the bottom of the pool but under that I think it's all concrete from these records. One thing that confuses me is he has this one pipe in the pool covered by the liner and when looking at it all, it looks like it's some form of...

For a normal rectangle pool built in the 80s and this being its 4th or 5th liner , do you have any tips on things I should look out for? i was going to order the same liner they had in their records from in the swim so I don't screw up measuring it myself.

The liner in my below ground pool has ripped to shreds. Looking to replace my liner and I'm wondering why the previous owner shoved pennies along the entire track of the pool. Anyone have any ideas why?

Well I ended up taking it to a local pool shop where they had the entire motor unit on hand, and replacing that piece fixed it under warranty. $700 part. O_O Replacement parts for this thing are insanely marked up high.

So I took the entire cleaner apart and even the T section where the motors are. There was some very minor evidence of water inside there. I went ahead and added some o-ring sealant on top of cleaning the seals and o-ring itself for that T housing. Tried to run the cleaner again and still got...

Personally I won't own a pool without a robotic vacuum cleaner. Screw the manual labor and never ending sun burns. However I bought the Polaris 9450 AWD model last April (2015), and it's already giving me Error 03 which seems to be pretty serious and will not allow it to work. Luckily it has a 2...

I also notice it will go across the bottom of my entire pool just fine, but the moment it hits a wall and gets in a 90deg angle, that's when it hits er:03. I can also hit the lift button and it lifts just perfectly fine, multiple times.

I've literally only used this thing for 1.5 summers now. I've done everything it says in the manual, check pin connectors, make sure its properly plugged in, cleaned filter, rotated the wheels and they all 4 rotated smoothly all turning the brushes independently. Not sure why this error is...

Yep got all my chemicals perfectly in range. Only -.1 saturation. (Anything over -.5 or .5 is considered bad in their instruction book) pH is right at 7.2-7.4 now.

Well after several vacuum to waste sessions, the pool is crystal clear, chemicals were -.01 off in saturation off that water wheel, and then all of a sudden I started losing water out of my pool. It would go from perfectly full (mid section on the skimmer) to almost starving the pump 24 hours...

Well filter clogged in less than 24 hours .....sigh. bottom of the pool has this sludge that forms when nothing is moving the water around. Guess it's that floc? Is there a better way to remove that stuff? I don't have a vac to waste option in my piping other than opening the drain pipe on my...

Quote from the manual: PRECOATING For the EC65A Scoop 6 lbs. (2.7 kgs.) of diatomite into the system through the skimmer as fast as the plumbing will take it. For the EC75A Scoop 7 lbs. (3.2 kgs.) of diatomite into the system through the skimmer as fast as the plumbing will take it...

My pH is almost in the 7's. I have not added that borax yet as I've been running all over the place getting things done today. Recently in the past few weeks I slammed my pool from a algae invasion I had while I had my filter taken apart. My water is cloudy but perfectly blue now. I think part...

I manged to hammer out that 90deg fitting. (Part #23b here Hayward Perflex EC65, EC65A, EC75 & EC75A Filter Parts ) and got the check valve replaced now. Here are some pics of the filter tubes. It had some sort of sludge on it which is the first time I've seen that. Of course if there is no...
