I've been talking with some local pool professionals. I am getting different opinions and really don't know which way to go. Some say stick with the TR100 its the best filter ever. Others say switch to a Pentair Cartridge filter for better filter performance. Stating that the cartridge filter...

Bump...

My TR100 has cracked at the top and the leak is progressively getting worse. Not sure what caused the failure. The filter has a 2010 mfg date, which makes it 8 yrs old. We've been in the house for 6 years. My main question is do I replace it with the same filter, or should I look at other...

Ok thanks, I will keep troubleshooting for a leak Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Water level is high. In fact it is above normal as we have had several storms this week. I have confirmed it does not appear to be sucking air at the skimmer.

Hi all, I noticed this morning my pump dedicated to my in-floor system had lost its prime. I have done as much troubleshooting as possible but can't figure it out. It doesn't seem to be that it can't get prime, but that as soon as it does it loses it again and then cycles this way over and over...

I'm pretty new here, but I believe I have read on here several times that the pH test will not be accurate anytime FC is above 10ppm. So may want to wait until FC drops a bit more and retest. Sent from my mobile device using Tapatalk2

Yeah, I have ran 2 OCLT's since refill and both passed with 0ppm loss. So I have confirmed my FC loss is only occurring during the day. The pool is typically used daily, and gets direct sun for about 10 hours or so. We had a week of 115°+ temps shortly after the drain and refill, which drove...

OK, makes sense. So the rise in TA due to evap/refill looks like it would be at a slow enough rate per month that It shouldn't be significantly hard to stay on top of once I get it down to where it should be. I am going to keep pH down daily to 7.2, rather than letting it rise to 8.0 before...

Just had a thought...how does evaporation affect TA? I read an article here in Phoenix recently that said the average pool in Phoenix loses 2,500gal per month to evaporation. That would mean 15% of my water evaporates monthly! My fill water has a TA of 130, so if I'm replacing the 15%...

I have been adding acid every time the pH hits 8, to bring it down to between 7.0-7.2, then from there it rises .20 each day, and I repeat when it hits 8 again. Other than the Calcium Chloride I added today to raise CH, I have only added bleach and acid over the last 3 weeks. Sent from my...

I have been doing infrequent aeration with a wall fountain that covers most the pool when on. I will run it more often as I dose acid more often. Sent from my mobile device using Tapatalk 2

Right, thanks. That is where I got the smaller more frequent dosing of acid, as long as I understand it correctly. Sent from my mobile device using Tapatalk 2
