i will try and take some photos tomorrow

The stains look like amber colored splotches ( kind of similar to the color of iced tea) the stains are actually hard to see in bright sunlight but easy to see on an overcast day. I was afraid to drain the pool because of the possibility of it popping out of the ground. This is why I am trying...

Starting TA was 80.. It has just been a bit more than 24 hrs since adding the acid.. I did some brushing a few hours ago and so far the acidic water does not appear to have much if any affect on the stains . I hope I see some better results in the next couple days ** the muriatic acid I used...

I am aware of the danger/hazards of using caustic soda. I am comfortable with using it. I was thinking of using the caustic soda (making small additions and mixing it well, then waiting a few hours before reading the ph) to bring the ph back up to 6-6.5 then finish it off with sodium...

Ahh yes.. I moved to a new home (2yrs ago) with existing gunite pool. I miss the fiberglass pool. It was very easy to take care of and kinder to the bottom of your feet. **will update the sig

I have decided to try a no drain acid wash to try and remove some stains i have in a plaster pool. The pool is approx 22,000 gal. Yesterday I added 10 gals of muriatic acid to kill the alkalinity and drop the ph. The question I have is: Assuming I have success with removing the stains, I...

After speaking to tech help @Hayward, they have advised me that my control board for my Max Flo VS (model# SP2300VSP) needs a new control board. Naturally I asked the person I was speaking to @ Hayward about purchasing that part. He told me they dont sell parts to the consumer and to contact...

My current cartridges are going on 4yrs now. I was thinking of picking up a spare set to have on hand. Anyway I came across these: 4 Pack Pool Filters Fit C 7483 Hayward SwimClear C3025 CX580XRE Antimicrobial | eBay These cartridges have something called a microban coating or treatment. Are...

Rainfall varies (I'm located about 20mi south of Bflo NY) Pool has been closed in Oct each year with a mesh type safety cover so from mid Oct to late April/early May the water level rises due to rain and snow. Every spring when opening we need to pump off at least 6in of water. I suppose I've...

Thanks for the replies .. Water looks and feels just fine. Something about the age of the water just creeps me out.

First of many thanks to this forum and how its been extremely helpful. 4 years ago I had a 15k gal fiberglass pool installed. Using the liquid bleach everyday and a little muriatic acid once in a while I never seem to have to add anything else. The only time I've ever shocked is each spring...

the swivel in your link seems like the type of swivel that one would use to help with an already tangled cable. I am looking for something that would help prevent tangling during the robotic cleaners use. (probably something that you would have to cut and splice wires and install closer to the...

no..I don't change the handle position often...maybe about once a month.. I know i should change it more often

Is it possible to purchase a waterproof cable swivel seperately and slice it into you robotic pool cleaners existing floating cable? If so does anyone know if/where one can purchase this type of swivel? I am happy with my current robotic cleaner but I hate untangling the cord so often.
