    Order of operations

    Not replace SWG this season hence going back to LC and lower CYA/drain/refill (also pie CYA got out of control while on an extended vacation and having a service handle since they used pucks & shock and the CYA was already high from when we formerly had been salt😩) Yes, I’m confident in all of...

    Replace motor or whole pump?

    The original motor was replaced with that Century in March 2017, so that sounds about right, I just don't know when the Hayward pump was installed since it was here when we moved in. Could it outlive 2 motor replacements? Is that normal? Or are we throwing good money after bad? Or if we did...

    Replace motor or whole pump?

    Our waterfall pump - Hayward 1.5hp Super Pump of unknown age - has stopped working and we've been told the motor needs to be replaced. Because I don't know the age or how much life is left, I'm torn between doing that or just replacing the whole thing. Quick backstory: I'm not sure how old the...

    Order of operations

    Had to do a partial refill to lower CYA after our SWG broke and we decided to pause on fixing and go back to LC for the rest of the season. Didn't quite get CYA where I wanted to be (have never done a drain/refill before - took a LOOOOOONG time!!:oops:), but these are my current levels, so...

    We need to drain...how??

    We need to lower CYA after a long vacation now that we're no longer using our salt cell, but all the markings on our valves have been "Northeastern Winter" washed away - We've never lowered, certainly never by the FEET required to bring us in-range which is below skimmer. The valves we've tried...

    Recurring algae, high phosphates

    I'm ready to drain & refill (or maybe just fill in:mad:) I can't figure out what is happening. I thought it was mustard algae, so I did that version of SLAM, passed all the hurdles, then kept my FC 8-10. Everything was fine, until I woke up one morning and it was 5. Then the mustard spots...
