    New Pump Problem(s)

    Jim, Your reply sent me down a different path where I eventually diagnosed and repaired the problem. I did not have a consistent 240V at the timer input.

    Controlling Iron Scale Stains

    Thank you. Read it a few times before, but it's always good to re read. However, I don't see the answer to being "controlled by chemistry" as stated in the quote? Please point out where I am missing the obvious. in the Pool School - Pool Stains information.
