Hmm... I am at a loss for words right now. My test yesterday swapping the diverter valves failed as I was still getting a leak, but this morning, the waterfall wasn't leaking and didn't leak for the entire 4 hours the pump was on. I'm gonna keep watching it, but maybe swapping the diverter did...

I took off the actuators and tried to manually re-position the diverter, but the waterfall continues to leak. when you say the waterfall might be below the water level, what portion of the waterfall are you specifically meaning and which water level? The new plumbing is about in line with the...

I was thinking that if the actuator is faulty and isn't closing all the way, I could test by removing it and manually making sure the valve is fully shut? Shouldn't that be possible? Outside of that, I'm not sure what else to try... Actuated via Jandy Actuator and valve Old Above ground...

About 10 months ago we did a major pool renovation. Everything was re-done, the skimmer, plaster, coping, above ground plumbing, VS pump, Cartridge filter, Ozone, UV, control panel, and automated valves, except the underground pool plumbing and waterfall feature. As part of the renovation, the...

Last Oct. I had my pool remodeled, and thus far I thikn I've been managing it ok; however, this summer I'd like to try extra hard to get it 'sparkling' and to keep it that way; therefore, I'd like to get some specific answers from Arizona residents or others that are more knowledgeable. My pool...

I've done the test several times over multiple days; same results. It is phenol red (R-0004) from taylor and not R-0014

I am sampling about 15 inches or so, about as deep as my arm will reach without getting the shirt sleave wet, away from skimmer and returns, before any chemicals are dumped I do a full work-up then add, and I rinse the comparator with pool water after each use. Never thought I'd trust a pH...

I just wanted to show that 4 drops of R-0004 in 44ml gives me a very different result than 5 drops of R-0004 in 44 ml of pool water set against a white background. One is ultraviolet / purple beyond belief and the other is Orangy red. I'm having a hard time believing the pH is that far out of...

I am using R-0004 and not R-0014. 5 Drops using R-0004 4 drops using R-0004 I don't see how either can be accurate. not to mention, my TA is already somewhere between 70 and 80... adding any more acid will kill the TA even more
