Wait, you are retired? You have the time! Plus it is great exercise! Just do it!

Yes capacitor is good. It hums, but when I turn the motor in the back it starts up. Like the old car days! Maybe something blocking it?

I changed it but the issued remained. I wonder if new capacitor is bad too?

I can turn it but with a wrench. What would that mean? Mine hums but eventually starts.

Pool Stores are the Devil!

If you buy a new hose like I did after 12 years, the sweep will be brand new! $100 on Amazon. Trust me, best $$$$ spent.

Whew, so it's good......!

Thanks, but I was curious, in the Pool Calculator it seems the better my numbers the worst my CSI is getting. FC-11 CC-0 pH-7.5 TA-80 CH-220 CYA-45 Temp 56

Tuesday was the last time I add liquid, so maybe it is just showing up. I have lots of solution so I will test on Saturday again.

My CH is now 220 (going to Rear 5 more lbs) but my CYA jumped to 45! Getting better.............

Good thing I read pool school on how to test. I needed Calcium Plus so I went to Leslie's to buy 25 lbs. I brought in a water sample just to compare. He said my TA was too low and I needed to but 15 lbs of Alkalinity. Then he said my CYA was 60, my FC was 7 and I needed to buy that Phosfate...

Great looking out! It was on default of 84. I put 56 on now and it went up to -0.61.

CSI is -0.35. Ouch. Man, Pool Calculator recommends over 400 oz of Calcium.............wow. Looks like 25 lbs should do it!

Okay I am back! Don't run, lol..............Water drained and refilled, shock in progress and I added 2 gallons of liquid condition. FAS-DPD results right now; FC-11 CC-0 pH-7.4 TA-80 CH-160 CYA-35 Is Hardness too low?
