Please be patient with me as I am new to the forum and new to taking care of my own pool. I have a inground pool with a sand filter and a pentair intellichlor salt system. I have had the most trouble out of this pool..
This is the first year I have had to run it, my husband who built the pool and always maintained it is now maintaining a younger girls pool.. Enough said! I cannot keep this pool clean. I realize it takes some work but I seriously had to watch youtube videos to figure out how to backwash and unwinterize it. I noticed the other day that my pool was looking a little swampish... I went to check everything out and the salt system had no lights on. I googled this and found out their was a fuse on the power source. I took the fuse out and the entire fuse holder was corroded and ruined. I order a new one it came in Tuesday, I put a fuse into it replaced it and put the wires back on.
All my lights came back on and we seem to be working normal. I checked it on Wednesday and all lights were off again. I removed the fuse holder and the fuse is stuck in it. I cannot get it out for anything, so I am only assuming it could have blown again. How do I get the fuse out? Why does it keep blowing? My best question is why in the world does my pool walls keep growing Crud on them even when the system is up a running?
Is there daily care, weekly care or some sort of care program I should be following. I hear new pool boys are expensive, I don't think I can swing it. Thanks for your patience with me, and your help.
