    Quieting normal pool pump noise

    Timing is an issue because to run my 3 waterfall spouts I need to get it up to 2800rpm. I had similar concerns about heat and stuff. Less concerned about ignoring the basket etc and it typically is clean all season long. Because i use the socks in the baskets which trap a lot. I can see if...

    Quieting normal pool pump noise

    Are those any good or a waste of money? I kind of also worry whether it will just create a shell to reverb off of and make it sound noisier instead. One similar item had 2 reviews and they were not positive

    Quieting normal pool pump noise

    Hi, I have a pentair variable pool pump. There is nothing wrong with it and it's about 5 years old. It makes a typical humming noise when running at about 2800rpm and is barely able to be heard when dropping to 1400rpm However, I'd like to see if it's possible via some kind of pre built...

    Perfect pool, but phosphates were high - no one using currently, should I bother reducing?

    I know this is a hit dated but just found the paper. Phosphates per Leslie's was 1157. My test was 1000, maybe higher but less than 2000. So seems they were fairly accurate on this test.

    Hahaha, I don't go unless I need something I can't find elsewhere cheaper, for example had to buy muriatic acid at leslies which is when I had them test my water to compare to my numbers. I test my water on my own but this is first time testing phosphors

    Thanks, will ignore. Now I'm curious what Leslie's had the level at. Maybe I'll swing by one day and see

    Results are in Phosphors: Home test: 1000ppb (could be higher , but definitely less than 2000ppb) Leslie's test: unknown. They won't pick up the phone! Is 1000ppb considered high or normal?

    Will try. Threw the paper away from Leslie's a few weeks ago, not sure if they keep.record of it

    Thank you. Since phosphates aren't something I normally test. Is it really necessary to go off my measurement vs the pool store for this one test? If yes, which test is best to get for it? If no. And pool store phosphate remove is sh1t, where do I go about purchasing it

    Thanks I had read that already, but it wasn't clear when you should do so for insurance policy purposes.

    Ps: yes I know thenold adage if it ain't broke don't fix it. But I also know the one that says "prepare when you can, not when you need to"

    Pool is perfectly balanced, clear as can be. It's a bit cold so no one is using it yet. When I went to buy something at the store I had them test the water (I do this once in the beginning of the year just to see how well it matches up to my measurements, but I never bought a phosphate testing...
