Thanks for the feedback. I do both service and pool maintenance. Like most other techs I don't like to make two trips when one well stocked trip will do..haha. So I am just trying to figure out what I need to get most of the jobs done. The large variety of products in our field can make service...

I am not sure if this is the right section to post this, however I just wanted to connect with some other service technicians out there and find out what you think the most important things to keep stocked in your trucks are (parts, chemicals, tools, etc...) during the pool season? I realize...

Can it be installed on PVC piping? or does it require copper?

Hahaha Thanks Dave, I will take a look at these. I am glad you have tried them, because otherwise I would equate them to snake oil. I appreciate the feedback though. It is a lot of work keeping the tile clean, but it looks good when it is.

I am having an issue with calcium build up on a concrete pool with a black tile accent along the top. I have the alkalinity at 100, calcium at 170, and PH at 7.4. But I keep getting the scale. Last year I had added stain and scale weekly but it just kept appearing. I had to resort to using...

Checked, they don't have any that look like this. They weren't sure of the brand.

Just wondering if anyone can help me identify the manufacturer of these return jets. I need to get the threaded adapter that attaches the nozzle/faceplate to the jet body.

Does anyone have any recommendations to replace a 1"npt 24volt solenoid valve that would be connected to a polaris watermatic system? The current one is black and plastic but has no markings so I am not sure what brand it would have been.

UPDATE: Still having issues with this system. Very disappointed by the technical support from Polaris/Zodiac. Considering a Hayward system.

I am currently servicing a Polaris Watermatic system and we have had ongoing problems with the ORP sensor reading. The unit is installed on a hot tub in a commerical application, approximately 3000 litres or so, and is connected to a bromine puck feeder. The system is 1-2 years old...

Perfect. Thanks for all your help everyone. Will let you know how it turns out.

Also should I place a check valve on both pump returns? If so how much restriction do these apply to the flow?

Yeah, it is kinda cramped. I am considering reworking the fence around it to the left. I can gain an extra foot or so by dropping it back. Thanks for the idea of putting the check valve on the discharge side for the pump. That would allow me enough room to do it. Does it matter if I run the...
