      If you hand tighten those unions and they leak, they may be cross threaded or the O-ring not seated properly (or missing)

      Newdude is right......stay out of the pool store. Your FC is 17. That FAS/DPD is as reliable and dependable as it gets......have faith...

      Glad you are up and running. Caution on overtightening those union collars. They can break pretty easily if you use a pipe...

      The connection from the suction end of the pump to that white union looks crooked. If so, it could easily be the issue by sucking air...

      Year after year, we always have to remind someone (like Sherlock) that TFP is not an arguing forum........it is a teaching forum. We...

      A SLAM with a CYA of 100 is really impractical......get your CYA reduced to around 60 or so to complete a reasonable SLAM

      duraleigh replied to the thread Thoughts On CYA Level VS FC.
      I believe your CYA would be best at 60-70 for your climate. Running any pool at 100 CYA is VERY problematic. Next, consult the FC/CYA...

      That book is probably overly detailed, Have you read Pool School here at TFP? ABC's of pool water chemistry is as sophisticated as a...

      duraleigh replied to the thread Chlorine loss during slam.
      I think that's all good news. You seem to have a particularly stubborn pool but I would suggest you continue the SLAM by running the...
