My rebuilt ride! I bought the rebuild kit which comes with everything except for the internal frame and supply hose. I had trouble getting the wheels to spin freely enough and even when they did they would eventually bind up and stop. I took the unit apart several times checking the bearings...

Thanks for the reply

Hi My setup is a main mechanical timer in the basement that controls all power to outside pool pumps. Outside I have another timer that's in-line for my cleaner booster pump. The outside timer is going bad, won't turn, the inside main timer is now unnecessary because this year I have installed a...

Hi Isee your in Pa, I live in North Maryland and have a Redners Grocery store near me that sells that's liquid Pool shock for a pack of 4 1gallon Jugs for $10.00. Since I discovered this I have been buying 3 cases at a time and using this to chorlinate. It's the best deal if you have. Redners...

The water is still tinted green but is better. I have my robot stirring up the bottom so it's a little cloudy. It's very sunny and humid today so I will test in awhile, the sun is off the pool by 5pm so at that point I will go be able to give it a good slam (20) and see what we got in the...

So before I went to bed last night I tested the FC again. At 11pm I had a FC of 8. This morning at 7am and before the sun gets to the pool it's at a FC 7. So I didn't drop much at all over night. Pool pump running 24hrs and just did backwash. I hear what your saying about the slam but what do...

So I just ran my own test. I confess I took a sample to the pool store because I had to go out anyway. FC 3.5 Cc .5 PH 7.5 Ch 200 Cya ( I didnt test because it's too dark out to judge but the last time I did it was above 45 so this isn't far off) TA 70 I am dong a mini slam because the pool...

I have the test kit recommended here and have started the slamming. I was jus wondering if I should also address the PH or Ta as well while slamming the pool

Hello, I have a quick question for you all. We have had about 5" of rain around here and I have been away for a few days and I fine my pool to be a little limish. I have started slamming it but also find my levels are all over the place. So I wanted to ask where to start, PH is high, (7.9) but...

Hello, I'm reviving a old thread. Today I opened my Pentair Tritton II TA60 for the first time ever and found the center filter tower had been left at a angle and the filter was only about half full of sand. This is my 3rd year as a pool owner, (it came with the house) and this site has been...

Thanks for the reply Pooldv

Hello, I haven't closed my pool in Maryland yet but plan to do so next week. I have had about 3 6 x6 tiles pop off right at the end of the season as well as some of the bedding grout behind them. The cooping above has some cracks in the grout that have worked them out. I don't really have time...

OK well thanks for the response, I had included a key phrase in the the first part of my post that I thought would have made it clear that I was looking and hoping for a more specific info. That might even be helpful to others. "I have read the great advice on this site and watched a few you...

Hello, I wanted to try closing this year. I have read the great advice on this site and watched a few you tube videos but Im still a little confused about the best way to blow out my lines. So here is what I think i will do and was hoping some one could correct me if I seem off. 1. Lower water...

Hello, so I just finished my 1st ever slam of my pool and now I need to clean up bottom of pool but my 380 is not happy. Some background on it and me, we bought this house with pool and equipment and this is my second season as a pool owner. The Polaris worked really well and had no problems at...
