‘thank you. Yeah it’s my fill water for sure. I’ll keep on doing what I’m doing!

Hi everyone. Been using tfp method with liquid chlorine for a few years. In January I converted to salt water with a RJ 60 Every year I fight with PH and alkalinity. I worked last summer to get it down, but now it’s up again. I am adding about a half gallon a week or muriatic. My TA this...

Got it worked and running. I have a tiny, like a drip leak on one of the pvc pipes. Ugh. Is there a way to patch something like this?

Thank you. I was able to wrap it. Almost done!

Hi everyone. I’ve got my Circupool RJ 60 installed. I am wiring it to my Intermatic timer. Dumb question (please be kind), how do o attached the wire to these round connectors? Do you just wrap the wire around and screw in to secure?

Thank you. Yes, I would just connect it to my skimmer like I do now with my manual vacuum. Pools are expensive, though I am not surprised but it continues to be a bit of a money pit. but its fun

Hi everyone. My pool is three years old, in ground 35k gallon saltwater. My builder installed a pentair racer cleaner and a booster pump. The racer lasted about a year before it needed constant repairs through the second year. Start of year three, the booster pump gave out. So to replace the...

Do you just turn it off or leave it running, even though it’s not producing?

Hi everyone. I’ve been using TFP and pool math since I got my pool three years ago. Because of chlorine costs, I’ve decided to go to salt water. I bought the RJ60 and will install this week. Now that it is winter, will the cell even produce chlorine? We are in the 60s right now in north Texas.

Thank you. Yeah the hose seems cumbersome. I’ve hated the pentair racer, it breaks constantly and never gets the debris needed. That makes me think a more focused vaccum while labor intensive might be quicker. Hmmm.

Hi everyone. My pool has been built for about three years, and over the last year and a half, there has been a massive amount of sand for my flagstone coping in the pool. The pool always looks dirty. I sweep it, and within a few hours there is sand pretty much all the way around the pool. Is...

Hi everyone. I am going in to year 3 as a pool owner with an in ground pool in north Texas. My pentair boostrite pump is on its last leg, and my pentair racer is in need of a rebuild. With the cost of a new pump and parts for the racer, I am close to a robot in price. However I am very...

Thanks. I don’t have pool vaccum just the racer cleaner. Hmm. I’m wondering why it didn’t do this before. The pool just looks dirty all the time.

No it’s a cartridge filter. I just put brand new ones in yesterday because I thought they weren’t filtering well.
