thanks I hadn't seen that video before.

We just had a new Caldera Reunion spa set up, heated up overnight and there is a yellow line at the water line, not grimy, just yellow. I guess we went out of order and added salt and turned on the SWG, added PH decrease since it was about 8, and added a half cap of shock to stop whatever is...

Pool guy opened this to clean the grids and said the rod was stripped and spinning so he didn’t take the grids out, was worried it would let go back together because I need a new rod. Do I need a new top manifold top? Why would it be rusted like that. Grids were replaced 2 months ago.

thanks for your post! we're down in Wichita, we just had a rope snap and was quoted $600 to fix one, $1200 to fix both. Since the cover is 7 years old and the other rope is supposedly 2 years old, we're just doing the one. I got a similar quote from another company. (they said $195 hour in labor...

Thanks! I'm learning how to use the DE filter, we had sand at our old house. I didn't add any DE back after backwashing the first 4 or 5 times. I put some in yesterday, Of course our cover snapped a rope this weekend too so I'm reluctant to take the filter out of operation for a day or two to...

ok thank you! Could this be the cause of low flow and low suction in my skimmer? Skimmer and pump baskets are clear, no visible leaks anywhere. I guess if it's not this, something is wrong with my lines...

Thank you! any filter cleaner you recommend? I helped a friend do this years ago and getting the grids back together was a nightmare, so I might see if I can skip that step.

the filter itself is at least 10 years old, but my pool guy replaced the grids in May when they opened the pool . I haven't cleaned it since then, I'm scared of getting in over my head!

Realized this weekend we had an algae bloom and our salt cell was dead. We have a DE filter with new grids. All surfaces of the pool and skimmer were slimy, I had to use a dish brush to get it off the side of the skimmer. I've shocked and killed the algae, but the filter pressure goes from...

iC30 was installed last week before we opened our pool. We had a pretty bad algae bloom and are working to clear that out. The manual says to turn off the iC30 when adding salt or anything else, and I think it would be easier to use liquid chlorine for SLAM, but I can't find anywhere how to turn...

We started getting quite a bit of sand in our pool last summer, so we had the laterals and center pipe replaced last week and the sand replaced. We didn't have the time to do it ourselves and all pool companies insisted the sand had to be replaced at the same time. But, we are still getting a...

Bought a bucket of tablets and box of shock granule bags when we moved in, then realized our CYA was at 120 or higher, found TFP and they've been sitting in the garage ever since. After a 4-summer battle, our CYA is now around 30. Will these 5-year old tablets or granules work to raise CYA...

This is what I'm thinking too, the cart and remote would be nice. But, if I can get an S200 for around $715 with free shipping and a warranty, that's a way safer bet. Thanks!

What makes the basket better ? We get a lot of leaves and small sticks in our pool.
