I voted good luck :wave: Happy swims Frank

Hello again just a thought, if it was sucking air you have to bleed the filter, that might help. :) Frank

Hello Charlize It is common for PB's to install pumps which are just to big. let's wait and see what he has to say, meanwhile you could run the pump on recirculate for a few hours a day to mix the water. Happy SWims Frank ps i sent you a pm

Hello Charlize To raise your CH you use calcium chloride available here in 50 kg bags 1500 bt Your TA is okay with an SWG it is good to keep it on the low side when you start the SWG because the ph will want to rise. Acid comes in 20lt containers 450 bt. my pool numbers are ch 330...

Hello welcome What size is the sand filter . I had a 1.5 whisperflow on ta 60 filter even pentair said it would work, but i had the same problem as you, then i changed it to 1 hp, 1 year on no more problems.

Hello Charlize how are you :wave: That's a good size SWG mine makes 24 gph which works out to 1.6 liters of 12.5 % chlorine in 8 hours, i usually run mine 7 hrs a day [12.30_ 2.00 5.00_10.30] and when we are swimming i also turn it on. So at least if it does work out that your power...

Hello Charlize Well first of all trying to make your pool work just to keep your PB happy is going work out very expensive for you, also as said before your pump pushes 34m an hour and your filter is rated 30m an hour so even with headloss your filtering will probably not be very good. Also...

Sawatdee and welcome to the best pool site on the web that filter could not be 32 cubic meters per hour it is probably 32 gal a minute which means that pump is way to big for that pool and filter, 1 hp is plenty. Running that pump 8 hours a day is going to cost you at least 2000 bt a...

Hello juicepluspoolmom That's a big pump for your pool. I would reccomend a 1hp 2 speed (pentair whisperflow is good) that way you can run it for say, 10 hrs a day on low and for vacuming you use high speed this will save you a lot of money at least 50% probally more. Happy Swims...

i sure did 8-) :)

My pool is basically the same as yours, once the water is balanced, All i've ever needed to put in is a cup of acid, once a week. Some salt, baking powder (for TA),and CYA, but that's only if we get a lot rain. Sorry can't help with the cost but i know it won't be to much, that's why we...
