Man, I wish these guys would help with this pump issue. No one seems to care. I need a new pump too.

what is the cost of changing the motor vs. buying a brand new pump roughly?

how long have you had the circupool swg? I am trying to get an idea as to how long they are lasting for people.

wow I never thought of just changing the pool pump motor and not having to change out the whole pump itself. How do you control the speed of the new VS pump without any of the controls? I figure the new pump will cost me about $1000 with install and should save me at least $50 per month.

25,000 gallon pool in houston texas. Right now my pump is costing me about $110 per month just to run it about 8 hours a day. Also going to upgrade to salt water pool this summer. I have no idea what to look for or how to shop for pumps or salt water cell systems. Is there a consensus as to...

I probably am. I just don't know if I want to spend $1500 to do it right now. Isn't that about what they cost to install? Is there any particular brand that is supposed to be the best?

I knew the sun could effect chlorine. I didn't know the heat could as well. This 1 bottle of 8.25 bleach a day is getting expensive. Still better than yellow algae I guess. Water temperature is super warm right now. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything. Thanks for the...

it has been 100 or more an average. My daily bleach went from 1/2 bottle to 1 bottle every day to keep it up above 4 every day. I don't see any reason why the chlorine would dissolve as the temperature goes up. Unless the suns rays are just that more strong. Just curious if there is...

so not see it at all means more water, so this means 30 cya. Means I need to add more cya.

I understand the instructions about putting drops in until you don't see the black dot. But . . . does 'not seeing the black dot' mean that it is really hard to see it or absolutely cannot see it. Because if you try real real hard, you can still kind of see it. This absolutely cannot see it...

Well thanks for the advice. I will keep an eye on it.

How did I determine the algae was gone? I guess I brushed it, shocked it by getting FC up to 20 for a few days and I have been keeping an eye on it. Is there something else to do. FC at 6? If I were to do this, I will be pouring in a gallon of 8.25% bleach per day. Is this what you guys are...

I have been following the bleach as chlorine method since april and I have been following this site since january. I drained pool to drop the CYA from around 200. My CYA is now about 50. Up until recently I have been adding a half bottle, 60 oz, 8.25% bleach every day into my 25,000 gallon...

my pool light was filled with water and I pulled it out and rinsed all that down with liquid chlorine as well. I haven't put the new one in yet and the only thing in the water right now is the cord. the light is out of the pool. I have been algae free, except when my polaris picked up some...

I will try that overnight test tonight
