Great summary of cleaning products and ingredients. I appreciate that you provided solutions. So it is the phosphate in Savogran TSP that makes it dangerous to people and the environment. I happened to pick up the Savogran TSP-PF (phosphate free) the other day as the store was out of regular...

What model of the aqua logic system do you have? And, when you say, "electric hookup," what is it that the electrician will be doing?

I replaced a board on my Aqua Logic system when the component that controls electricity to the SWG fried for $300-$400. I know the board also controls the functions of the pumps, but unless he wants to replace everything, that estimate is way too high. I ordered the board through Amazon and with...

I think eleven years of service would be about the limit of most pumps. I suppose you could try to replace parts, but you may find a new one to be less costly to run and more relaible. As to size, it sounds as though you have varied demands. I can't comment on matching horse power and electrical...

Is your pool cleaner attached while the motor is running and making the horrific noise? When I remove my pressure side pool cleaner and hose all the way back to the wall with the pump running, it makes a similar noise. It has something to do with the back pressure, I guess.

Discovered a typical "suction-side" air leak that appears to be coming from the heater. It doesn't appear to be coming from the inlet or outlet unions, and water does not appear to be leaking from the unit as the filter runs. Haven't tried to run the unit since I discovered the leak, as I don't...

I have the same issue with algae above the waterline, but now it has started to move below, as well. The common threads among similar posts I have seen would suggest you/I/we have not been brushing as often nor completely as we know we should. The condition is worse where there is less direct...

My heater did the same thing at the beginning of the season. If you have automatiion, be sure your temperature settings and the auto/manual settings are correct. I think my heater was set on auto with a low temperature setting. Or was it on manual with a high temp setting? A few adjustments and...

It sure looks like slate from India. I have over 750 square feet of it in my home. Looks about the same...though there are mant varieties of slate.

Be sure to check that you have the correct setting in your control panel. There are a number of heater items in a couple of the submenus that affect how your heater runs. The incorrect setting would allow your heater to start up, but shut off quickly thererafter. Well, mine did that until I...

Re: Can't get my PH do go down As to your initial question, there may be some degradation in the strength of the MA over time. If you have any doubts and want to trust your calculations and results, I would buy some fresh, full strength MA and use that instead of the older chemical. You could...

I pulled the plug and received a message: "Sensor Fault." Plugged it back in, had to turn it off by pressing minus, received the message "Cell Off Low Temp" despite the fact that it stilll showes 69 degrees. Turned it back on using + and received the message "Chlorinator Off No Cell Power." I...

I have a four year old Aqua Logic PS-4. I received an error message indicating "LOW VOLTS." I checked my manual and this website and recognized many others had experienced a similar problem. I went into diagnostic mode and pressed the + button. The display counted down from 15 to zero. I then...

Thank them for doing an excellent job on removal of the debris. That was why you had called them in the first place and you are a satisfied customer. But...Tell them in very clear language that you decline any help with water chemistry and vacuuming and you are going to be handling it yourself...

Anything that creates water turbidity will lead to increases in pH. I don't think wind and rain get their share of blame for the problem because they are intermittent in most locales. I get lots of wind and have constantly rising pH, except in the deep part of winter. Wind definitely raises pH...
