thanks I will try that. I also came home to a broken booster pump. when i turned it on it looked like it wanted to turn but was binding on something so I took it apart and this is what I found. With this thing out it runs fine...but has really loud scraping noise. Is there a way to fix...

I didn't even think about the calcium. I can't test again until Saturday bc I'm going to be in chicago. :( My friend is going to brush it twice a day and watch the pressure and backwash as needed. I still have no idea what the stains are? I think the sides of the pool looks organic like...

Ok so I should not be allowed around pools! My readings are: FC = 39 CC = .5 TA = 100 CYA = 21-28ish Will the sides just get clean or do they require scrubbing? And should I be worried about these rust stain looking places?

Yea I think I went overboard with the bleach bc my first test showed 0 chlorine. So I dumped like 6 big bottles of bleach in. :oops: What powder should I add? I picked up some of that muriatic acid yesterday for the pH. Should I wait on that?

Alright the test kit came. Here are my starting numbers I've checked so far: CYA - 30 pH - 8.0 - 8.2 Chlroine - greater than 5 (the accurate test I couldn't get to work. When I put in the scoop of powder it turned pink but then dissolved and turned back to clear before I even put the drops of...

That's what I was afraid of. I thought the 4 wheel was one that could work on either with a booster. So what should I do now? Sell this 4 wheel and get something different? I thought all pressure side needed a booster?

In reality I don't really know. I think it's where the old cleaner went bc I had to unscrew a part from the hole and screw in the new connector for the 4 wheel cleaner I bought. It is also the only hole that is different from the others that have adjustable jets. When main pump is running it...

Ok I read the pool school and think I have most of it but for some reason the secondary pump that runs the cleaner only blows water out??! I can't get it to start a suction??! And for your laughing pleasure here's the cleaner not working! :)

Here is kind what he stains look like on the sides. And here is what the equip looks like now

Omg it's running!! I'm jumping up and down!! Lol. So my realtor had the company find one on craigslist and they brought it by today. I put it all together and (thanks to everyone here and the forum info) got it to prime and sputter. I then noticed there was a crack in the clear lid so I...

Am I at least on the right track with the type of cleaner I need? thanks for all the help so far.

from what I think I have read in the cleaner section A bunch of people like the cleaners from here www.thepoolcleaner.com. Would this work on my pool and am I right in thinking I would need this version? http://www.thepoolcleaner.com/4xpoolcleaner.html Also I saw this skimmer thing on here...

Awesome thanks so much!! The realtor Is working with someone to find out who the company was so I don't know if I should wait to get that clamp or just go ahead and buy one online. $220 seems like a bunch if they can just bring back my pool part. Will the bottles of bleach work for a week or...

also I don't think there is a little vacuum guy in the pool. I have noticed there are a few different types. Are any better or worse for the type of pool I have? Is that extra pump next to the big pump the additional pump I would need for a pressure cleaner?

wow thanks! thats one expensive clamp! lol Alright I will see what the realtor says. Thanks guys!!
