    Pressure vs. Circulation

    After moving to a two speed pump last year I ended up reducing the size of most of my returns so that the pool would have some circulation when the pump was on low speed. The side effect of course was to increase the pressure on the return system with my DE filter guage going from 18psi to 25...

    Partially drained gunite pool, pop-up risk?

    Thanks, yeah Google had me seeing visions of mass destruction in the backyard last night. No way to tell how heavy the actual pool structure is so no way to calculate the buoyancy with any accuracy. The pool's exactly as I left it last night, no shifting.

    Partially drained gunite pool, pop-up risk?

    Had to partially drain our pool this afternoon ahead of a skimmer replacement and return repair tomorrow. It's 3', 5.5', 3' deep (deep portion in center of pool) and it's drained down about 1.5' Already skittish about pop-up risk as we've had heavy rain for the past few days and still have...

    Pool Math........The App

    Import worked but I did get junk data for CYA even though the app said no errors on import.

    Pool Math........The App

    Prefect thanks! Now I have to read up and figure out how to import the beta data I exported.

    Pool Math........The App

    Beta tester. I deleted the beta version and downloaded the release version. All I get is a blank screen with a swirly that runs forever, the app never fully loads. Android version.

    Pool RX??!!

    Fairly new here myself. I've followed the TFP recommendations and have a crystal clear (you can see what kind of screws are used on my main drains from the surface) and stable pool. I tried the chemical cocktails prior to that (in our first new-to-us pool and luckily for only a short time...

    Thanks TFP!

    Long story short, bought a house in December and struggled to get the chemistry even in the ballpark using traditional methods. Found TFP, got a real test kit and haven't looked back. The real test came last week when our pump failed and the pool had zero circulation for a week. The water...

    The pump is dead, long live the pump! (Dual speed wiring)

    Thank you, based on that drawing I cannot do what I was thinking as I'd be supplying power on common, high, and low simultaneously. I may have to put a single T106M external to my existing box to keep from having high and low hot at the same time.

    The pump is dead, long live the pump! (Dual speed wiring)

    I've been noticing that my pump pressure has been "pulsing" by about 2 PSI for a month or so now and have been expecting the worst, a filter backwash had no effect. Today I was adding some granular CYA through one of the skimmers (very, very slowly- literally a few grains at a time) and noticed...

    Hayward aqr15 questions

    Asked this a while back too. If the SWG isn't generating, it will not show a salt reading. So at 50% you'll see the reading for 30 minutes of each hour and no reading the other 30 minutes. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Significant PH rise after heavy rain?

    Will do, makes sense now. Thanks!

    Significant PH rise after heavy rain?

    Ah. Understood on the SWG. TA is 90, been slowly working it down from 140. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Significant PH rise after heavy rain?

    We just finished up with a couple of days of heavy rain which brought the pool level up around four inches. I started my SWG on a shock cycle yesterday . I did a full set of TF-100 tests today (minus CYA which will be a whole other thread on that chemistry question) and got mostly what I...
