Hello and thanks for your reply...no pearls of wisdom as yet...I'm sure there is someone who will have all the answers...

Hello All, been quite a while since I have been in the forum...I know this is the best place for good information...I have the Hayward Aquanaut 200...I purchased this unit because all the reviews at the time said this was one of the best suction cleaners...the problem I have - the bottom/wall...

Thanks to everybody for replying - PM sent to Josh - average bathers 60 per day - pool water temperature in summer usually around 30ºC (86ºF) + there is a waterfall about 10M long and the water falls about 1.5M thanks again, Jonathan

Hello All, its been a while since I have been active on the forum and I know from the past that this is the best place to get information on pool stuff. I have a posting in Turkey and we have a beautiful pool of around 600M3 (160,000 gal) in our apart block. In my home I have a SWG...

Re: Re: I just finished borating my pool after waiting a very long time for my Boric Acid to arrive. (it got stuck in the post for 1 month) It was powder and I mixed it in a bucket first and made a slurry before adding this to the pool. I still had some lumps when it went in the pool but it...

Thanks for that - I can't see how it could get pass at any other place - certainly not through 600 lbs of sand, gravel and also DP... :!:

Thanks for the info - does it just pull straight out because it seems that it is really well stuck down.. The other thing that I can't figure is that small bits of leaf that gets picket up in the skimmer and are small enough to get through the pump strainer still find there way back to the pool...

Thanks for the info - It just seemed strange to me that the water came out the diffuser and not the lower elements... (first post) I'll look into replacing the spring... Also water started to leak out of the valve cover (you can see a little discolouring on the floor in one of the photos) when...

Thanks for your help - I'll go ahead and get some - I tried several sources in France - ridiculously expensive... It's for sale here in most pharmacies in 30gram sachets - and the chemist told me that its mostly used for killing cockroaches... :-D

I saw this Boric Acid on Ebay the other day. Can anyone comment on its suitability? Other wise on mainland Europe I have no idea where to by it.... BORIC ACID This ia 25Kg pack of pure Ortho Boric Acid Packed in a heavy dury plastic bag/scak and shipped in sturdy double wall outer box...

Thanks again for your posts. Again I have tested this morning (April 14th) and the same trend is following: FC 8.5 CC 0 PH 7.6 TA 70 CYA 40 Most of the numbers are fairly stable in the trends now. The CYA has climbed a little (or maybe I'm getting better at testing :oops: ).. The water now is...
