Moved from here. I just replaced my motor and the serial number on it is only 8 digits and not 10 like the app is asking for. Anyone have info on how I can get the app to accept the 8 digit number or find the 10 digit number

1) bought a used cyclone vac/blower. 2) hooking up to skimmer (have two skimmers and will probably blow out from both just to be safe) 3) have one main drain in pool and a drain in the spa (plan to totally drain spa and blow out spa drain) 4) black rubber plugs 5) combination valves I will try...

i am thinking of using these videos in conjunction with the TFP written instructions to close my pool this wkend. However, I was hoping some of the experts could give a review on the video series in the link below. http://www.monkeysee.com/play/11841-winterize-a-pool-lower-water-level

Ok, Kim, I will keep it up then. Just added 3 bottles to get it back to SLAM level. I will still use the cellulose b/c it does seem to be clearing the pool faster, I just have to keep backwashing every 4-5 hrs and add more. For swimming, is it safe to swim at SLAM levels, or do you have wait...

current main light is 500W 120V rated bulb in it. I'm not sure about the light in the spa yet. Looking to get this but I am still researching: http://www.amazon.com/Swimming-300watt-Replacement--120volts-20watts/dp/B00BQHMCI4/ref=sr_1_3?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1438397748&sr=1-3

yes, it look a little better this morning. Having my son check at 1000 and 1400 since I am work and he will add accordingly. When I did my FC last night it was at 25. I then added more water overnight (still wanting to get CYA down). This morning at 0630 it was 24. I thought it should be a...

check this thread for images of the start and this is after several water changes to get to CYA=50. new and trying to get rid of green algae that came out of no where

I asked this on another thread but thought it might be better to put out as a new one: Background, I just started to SLAM a green pool that was high in CYA and Calcium until I changed out water. I am now at CYA=50 and SLAMing at FC=20. I have seen slight improvement since Friday evening when...

so next hurdle: Going on vacation for a week on Friday. need advice on what to do before I leave. I don't think this problem will be tackled by Friday, and with the fact that I have to have it at SLAM levels until I get the water clear is not looking good to me. I was thinking hitting at...

thanks, that gives me the confidence to get this done then. I am hoping the breaker trips only b/c of a gasket leak and not a casing leak. I have seen videos on changing the casing with folks saying you can do it under water and some say you have to remove the water to change the casing b/c...
