    SLAMING my neighbors pool

    For financial reasons she wants to get more year out of the liner, it doesn't look terrible but I am worried about her stairs, those don't replace easily. So high FC will set the copper stains? Yikes! She just spent money on CYA and all this chlorine so replacing a lot water might scare her...

    SLAMING my neighbors pool

    I am trying to help my neighbor clear her pool. She has a vinyl liner 26,000 gal pool. Cartridge filter and Trinton whisperflow pump. Her old pool guy has a blue mineral unit in her filter basket, which I had never heard of until I Googled it. She has also shocked her pool a few weeks ago and it...

    The motor has a loud squeal when it runs. And when you turn it on it “knocks” then will generally start but runs really rough. Not a consistent “purr”. Hope that helps!

    Oh sorry. Yeah motor failed. Everything else seems to work fine. So you are saying I could just buy a 2 speed pump and new timer instead of replacing the whole unit? This unit was manufactured in 2011.

    Yeah not worried about automation. The pool needs new plaster and tile so that’s where most of our pool reno budget will go! [emoji4]

    Pump Died.....

    Yes. Good idea. I’ll look into the rebates. The booster pump was replaced 3 years ago and my Polaris 280 is only 2 years old so I don’t see myself replacing it anytime soon. But those robots look pretty amazing!

    Pump Died.....

    Good morning! Our pool pump died. It’s an older Pentair superflo single speed 3/4 HP. With 1 1/2” plumbing that goes to 2 inch. See attached pic. I would like to upgrade it to a 2 speed at least. No water fountains or spas. Not concerned with automation just would like to to be more energy...

    Left my test kit in the sun...

    Hello, I accidentally left my TF-100 kit on the back of my tailgate for a couple hours on hot day (100 degrees). My r-0871 leaked all over the bottom of my kit and the next time tested my chlorine it was off the charts. I am assuming I need to replace it? So do I need to replace just that one or...
