I do know were the relay is. What should I look for, in the relay? My relay is an AS-Multi Combo-95 by Allied Innovations Control. Is water in the air tube symptomatic of my issue? I have not tried blowing air through the tube. Not sure how water would get in the tube though.

I think the electrical feed for the "Spa Blower" comes from the same feed as the filter pump. Normally (most of the time), when the filter pump is on, I can turn the spa blower on/off using the air button switch. But, when the filter pump is on, and the blower starts on it own (maybe once or...

I have updated my signature detail. Is the information detailed enough?

Hi All, My Spa Blower comes on without anyone turning it on. No one is even near the Pool/Spa when it happens. Only happens when the filter pump is on. If I turn the filter pump off, the blower goes off, then, if I turn the filter pump back on the blower stays off. Does not happen every day...

How do you maintain the proper Sequestering Agent level after you have finished the AA procedure?

Anyone have experience with a CircuPool SWG?

When I attempt to do the Calcium Hardness test, I add 20 drops of R-0010 and mix. Then I add 5 drops of R-0011L and mix. I do not get any red color. A month or so ago I use to get red and during the past few months the red color trended less and less to now where there is no pink color at...

What are the levels of chlorine and pH that make a pool unsafe to swim in?

A test kit question I was wondering about: I bought a Speedstir and a TF-100 test kit. In the test kit, there is a graduated cylinder for Chlorine test only and a separate cylinder for all other tests. I use the cylinder that came with the Speedstir for all tests including Chlorine. Is this a...

The pool calculator suggests that I add Chlorine, which is understandable. The calculator also suggests that I raise the TA a bit by adding baking soda. But then it also shows that I need to add washing soda or borax to raise the pH. Which should I do? Can I add Boraxo since I was going to...

I would like to add Borax to my pool. I calculated around 16 Boxes of Borax. Can I add the 16 boxes over time, say 4 boxes, and another 4 boxes in a couple of weeks and so on. All the while adjusting the pH to the proper levels? FC 5 CC 0 TC 5 pH 7.2 TA 100 CH 290 CYA 60

So, now, I need to add muratic acid to lower the pH. I will lower it to around 7.2 and do this everytime the pH gets up to 7.8. This should lower the T/A over time. In addition, I will replace about 1/3 of the pool water agian to lower the CYA and CH levels. Also, as the CYA value goes...

Ok. I added bleach. Here are the latest test results. I have not yet replaced water as Jason suggested. I will replace 1/3 of the water in my pool this coming weekend. Isnt the Fill water T/A abnormally high? FC 10.5 CC 0 TC 5 pH 7.8 T/A 160 CH 290 CYA 90 T/A (Fill water) 210 CH...

Jason, after replacing about 1/3 of the pool water, adding acid and liquid chlorine, my signature shows the new test readings. TA still looks high and CYA is still high. What would you suggest? Reduce the pH for a while agian? Replace more of the pool water? FC 5.5 CC 0.0 TC 5.0 pH 7.5...

I thought the acceptable PH range was 7.2 to 7.8?
