I am replacing my pool pump and with the existing plumbing setup I will need to remove and replace plumbing back through diverter valves on the suction side. Is there a specific reason to use the larger diverter valves like the Pentair ones I have pictured or would it be ok to use any PVC...

I believe it to be correct. I use the TF test kit. I had a lot of liquid chlorine and obviously put too much in at one time. I believe it was 20 gallons. It also hasn't been very sunny in the last few days so I don't think I am losing too much during the day. Anything else you can think of...

I'm using the TF100 kit. Last results from yesterday: FC - 5.5 CC - .5 PH - 7.5 AK - 100 CH - 200 CYA - 40 I dont think its a chemistry problem. The debris isn't something that builds up over a few days. After cleaning it appears fairly quickly so I was thinking maybe its from the filter...
