    Question about PH color.

    Attached is a photo of my pH reading. My question is whether I should be looking at the darkness of color or the “pinkness.” I would call this as 7.4 and 7.6. But that’s because my sample is not as yellow as the lower readings. Am I doing this right?

    Best hose controller/timer?

    I’m pretty sure it’s not a leak because the water level doesn’t go down at all on weekends when it’s covered 24 hours a day. On weekdays the pool temperature is 95 degrees for 8 hours and we have a dehumidifier that maintains the relative humidity at 52%. Actually, I only have to add water for...

    Best hose controller/timer?

    Thanks. I think I will go with an auto fill from Rola Chem. It’s $78.00 and I think it’s easy to keep an eye on it.

    Best hose controller/timer?

    My pool requires addition of water almost every other day. I have a cheap hose timer made by Green Thumb, but it frequently doesn't shut off as set on the timer. This has twice caused my pool to overflow. I am wondering if there is a better controller/timer out there that people have had good...

    Are real Hayward Filters worth it?

    I have a Hayward C3030 swim clear filter I installed in June, 2020. It came with the genuine filters. Since then I have put in 2 sets of filters I bought from Amazon for about half the cost of the genuine Haywards. Amazon wants $240.00 for a set of 4 plus $69.00 for shipping. I just replaced a...

    How long should a pool pump last?

    I have a Pentair Intelliflo XF variable speed pump that’s working fine. Installed new 2-½ years ago. Used in a 10,000 gallon non-salt water pool. It runs 24/7 at 2250 rpm for 8 hours and 650 rpm for 16 hours. Any idea how long this pump will last? Also, what are the symptoms of a pump that needs...
