hi all, hope all is well for you. I think I learned the hard way that a pool needs chemicals even during winter when i had it covered. It is a 10K pool fresh water, plaster walls, sand filter SP210T. I uncovered it this weekend and to my surprise, all the walls and bottom were covered in an...

hi All, I have a salt water pool, surrounded by a Sundek coated concrete deck. Living in TX, so we get quite a bit of sun. The Sundek is probable 20 yrs old, and it looks it may need some extra care. I am considering the Dyco concrete deck paint, specially for swimming pools. Anyone has...

Thanks. How much Hydrogen is too much? I think my cell gets probable 5% filled up with gas at ~1800rpm and it sits there, I was thinking too that mounting the cell with connections on the top (instead of on the bottom), will help clear up gas so then I can go even lower. Another question: I...

Is a circupool SJ20 - has clear plastic cell I have not upsized the impeller

So I have completed the project over this weekend. The max AMP is about 5.2 (VS) vs 7.0 when running full speed 3450RPM the same pump When I go to lowest speeds, it can draw close to 1AMP @230V and is very quitet However I have a SWG and I am worried going lower than 2000RPM, as I am starting...

Thanks for hint. I will let you know how it works once I swap the motors.

Hi folks, I have a pentair 0.5HP Pump and motor p/n 340036 The motor is currently drawing ~6A @230V I purchased a variable speed motor centurion 1.65HP to replace existing motor - hoping to save some energy. However this motor can take 10A when running full speed. I am wondering how many amps...

Hi, I have a 10k SWG re-plastered pool - about 2 mo old, and it takes quite some acid (~25 oz per day) TA = 80, CYA=70. Pool Co. said to keep for a while the PH in a 7.2 range so the plaster will etch nice, exposing the blue pebble from the Taho Blue quartz. I am wondering if I can make use...

Thanks, I will try to raise FC to my target level, and see it how it can keep it up from there. BTW the Circupool came with one jet deflector - why is this needed as I already have eyeballs/ deflectors for pool supply? And yes, thanks to this forum I no longer or only seldom buy chems at the...

hi, I am new to SWG's and can use some guidance from veterans I recently converted my pool to saltwater, after being resurfaced 31 days ago with plaster. Is a 11,000 Gal. in ground pool. Here is my water chemistry: Salt ~3200 (depends which pool store measures it: one says 3100 the other...

Thanks for your help folks! My drop kit ran out of CYA reagent and the previous time I had my PS checking the water they either did not measure CYA or they miss-measured it. I had it measured twice today and CYA is 150ppm or more ; I believe this screams - drain the pool now !!! What I do not...

Hello I am a pool owner in trouble... as you can guess.... I have a 11,000 GAL in ground plaster pool, tap water. 1/2 HP and Hayward 210T sand filter. Same filter and same pump used to keep it crystal clear last autumn. Known water params: FC =4 PH = 7.6 TA = 90 CYA = ??? TDS = 670 Calcium...
