I don’t know. It’s a Voyager Swim Pro / Hayward filter and pump. Here’s a photo of it. I think I replaced it last year or the year before. How long do they last? Last night I got in and stored it all up looking for a my eyeball and ring that holds it in. It was super murky after that but is back to its normal cloudy self. BTW my pressure gauge is broken.
Hi. I didn’t close the pool last year and don’t know what the guy put in. But my CYA reagent was just delivered so I’ll test that now.
Also... still cloudy today but a tiny bit better. I hope the new filter does the trick so I can celebrate.
I finally got a chance to test the CYA and it was only 20. I didn’t have any stabilizer so last night I put in a few bags of Dichlor shock that I had around. I don’t usually use it but that brought the CYA up to 30.
Yes they sure do have a racket going on at the pool store with their “free testing and advice”. I’ve learned so much from TFP! Thanks to you and others here for the excellent education. After two weeks I wasn’t making much progress with the cloudiness but yesterday I installed a new filter cartridge and noticed a huge difference this morning. Wish I’d done that at the beginning. And I figured out why the eyeball wouldn’t screw in. Until I actually got in the water I couldn’t see that the ball had escaped from the collar which had cracked. I’d looked and looked for that collar ring Because I knew it had to be at the bottom of the pool somewhere if the ball got out. But nope. The little crack made it open up just enough for the ball to get out and the ring was still screwed on. Once inside the pool I could actually see it instead of just going by feel. Sheesh.That's the TFP way. You're in control of your own pool and through your own reliable testing, you know exactly what you need to add and when to add it. No more getting scammed by someone at the pool store saying you need this and that. You now know better.
Now comes the fun part.
