Someone who used to work for me, but went off to become an electrician a few years ago, is coming by shortly. He’s not a master electrician, just a general one, and so I’m hoping he can diagnose what’s going on. And test the voltage and anything else that’s he’s able to.
Im noticing that lately im having to add acid weekly. I lower down to 7.2 and inevitably in a few days it’s up to almost 8. My TA is also rising up to 100-110 not surprisingly. All my other numbers are fine, just curious what’s causing this. Perhaps the smaller pool size? No return jets are breaking the surface and the pool is not frequently used.
30 is just fine.
I think that you need to get the ladder out, and increase the frequency of your chlorine additions. Needs to be at least 3-4x per day. If you can increase the frequency to every 2 -3hours, you likely will see more progress.
About the best pricing, YOU will get is:
$4.24/gallon Rural King 15190 Veterans Memorial Pkwy, Wentzville, MO 63385
$4.44/gallon Menard's 151 Spencer Rd, St Peters, MO 63376
Next best is likely Walmart Pool Essentials Liquid Chlorine.
You may find lower prices from power washing supply houses. YMMV
Get that ladder out of the pool, clean it INSIDE and out with bleach:water solution. Leave it out until SLAM is done.
You likely have algae inside the ladder that is continuing to consume your FC.
One of the threads is a spreasheet that is being updated by members posts. The best pricing, by far, is Walmart at $5.47 per gallon of 10%. There are many other sources such as pool stores where you can usually get 12.5% at a higher price. Also Pinch a Penny, Ace Hardware, and Menards. The big box home stores usually carry it but the dates can be old and the chlorine is likely stored outside in the heat.
Hello, I need some help here. My pump was leaking when I opened the pool this year, so I bought new seals and actually bought a whole new drivetrain kit. When I turned it back on it is still leaking. Any other ideas that it could be? Thank you in advance.
Had a similar issue last year and now again. These systems are poor quality and the screen stays on 24/7 when the pump has power. Last year I opened the system and cleaned out an ant farm. Attached cables etc, this year opened and cleaned lightly. Screen displayed yesterday not back to ON but clear. Jandy needs to update the system already and make the cell housing backwards compatible.
I'm not sure I understand. The SLAM article stated my criteria for a successful SLAM was meeting my SLAM Level (16), crystal clear water, CC of 0.5 or lower and no drop in CL overnight. I met all of those. Could you clarify what I missed? Thank you.
Review the SLAM article. You are not doing it correctly. You need to add enough chlorine to get back to 16 ppm each time you test. The article will also teach you when you are finished with the SLAM.

Opened the pool this week and the pump won’t start.
1.5 hp single speed. Olympic brand.
Electrician came over and tested the switch on the wall, said there’s power going to the switch and power leaving the switch. For some reason he took the switch halfway apart and said he’d be back to test if it was the capacitor or something else.
Hasn’t come back since then, hasn’t returned cal or multiple texts.
The pool store said they’ll pro-rate the warranty for a new one, essentially giving me a $200.00 credit towards a new one. Which is great, but I need to find out what the deal is with this one.
Anyone have any insight as to what the issue could be?
