It is but when I turn it off I can hear the lines start to fill with air. Sorry, forgot to mention that part. I think I just need to check all the joints for suction loss anyway before the season starts Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk

Is shaving cream still recommended on the joints to look for suction loss? Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk

I run it 10 psi clean, backwash at 20. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes. May need to do a thorough check on all the joints and everything for the season Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk

Every opening season I have something needing replacement and during that time that the part comes in (with the inevitable multiple delays) the pool gets a nice dark green. :( This year is no exception. So my new pump came in, I installed it and let it run all night. This morning the pump was...

Central Texas Wal-Mart has moved their price of the 10% back to $3.64. However, at that price it's the same cost per ppm of chlorine (within a penny) as the Great Value brand of concentrated chlorine at 8.25%. I think I was buying at Sam's before but the Clorox brand of 8.25% was still over...

I just stopped by my Wal-Mart in central, tx and their chlorine was still at $2.50 but the dates ranged from 063 (yup, early March) to 166. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

My local Wal-Mart just dropped liquid chlorine to $2.50/121oz and it's 10%. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I wouldn't initially think it would need to be glued either but when I removed it I noticed old glue on it, so I thought to go ahead and just re-glue it.

First off let me say that because of this site I'm able to confidently attack my pool chemistry and mechanical issues. Thanks for everyone who contributes and makes this site what is it. Now onto the questions: I think I discovered my D.E. filter leak back into my pool. It seems the piping...

I have had the same problems and this is what I do: 1. Fill the pump with water while the intake valves are open. I use a bucket and try to keep the water level at the top of the rim so it starts filling the intake pipes. 2. I quickly close both intake valves (skimmer and drain ) while the...

Great ... sounds like we're on the same page. Thanks for the forum; in one month I was able to gain more knowledge than a neighbor of mine who's owned a pool for over a decade. He was shocked when I told him some of the tricks for balancing the water with a reduced cost.

Thanks, Dave. The highest I've ever gotten my PH is 7.8 and I've only reduced it when it exhibits an rising trend to which my understanding indicates too high TA. For example, my spa was showing a rising PH so I tested TA, saw that it was high, and reduced both with the acid. However, my pool...

Great, thanks for the head's up on the fill water; that is something I did not consider but will now! I was checking the water every day when we first moved into this house and I have a pretty solid feel on how my water is going to be on each test, so now I only test three times a week .... but...

Thanks to this forum, my pool and spa are looking splendid, and after learning about testing and what levels to watch I need some advice. Since I have two separate bodies of water, I don't want to spend 30 minutes testing everything three days a week during the summer. So I've only been testing...

I just want to introduce myself to the forum. My wife and I recently bought a house with a pool and spa, and I knew a little less than nothing about maintaining a pool. So for the following two weeks, I spent all free time reading forums and watching videos because although I didn't know how to...
