You need an iron cobalt remover. We would try that first and worst case scenario, drain pool and acid wash it.

Can anyone tell me what this is. It’s on the wall in the deep end of the pool. The pool is fiberglass.

If you have a chlorine pool and using either an in-line chlorinator or a floater your CYA level will increase.

I just found a leak (h2o) on the suction side, one of the PVC fittings. Thanks. I love this site. I can't thank you enough. Even if that not the only problem you've got on the right path and I really appreciate it. I swear its as if slack jawed yokels put this thing together. :shock:

You what that makes a lot of sense. I noticed it got a lot worse after I tried to vacuum the pool. Thanks. Could a crack in the skimmer housing? Sorry I don't know the terminology, cause that kind of suction leak? There's a crack that someone tried to patch in the skimmer.

He did a good job on the valve replacement but he wants me to buy a new motor and a pentair filter that is nearly 3x's the amount of the current filter, not to mention the cost of the motor, and the motor I have is brand new. I just...

Pool is approx 22,000 gal. The locking knob is tight. The filter is a cartridge filter. O-rings lubed. Concrete. Built in eighties. In Florida. The pump loses prime after about 20 mins or so. It looks like it may have been a DE filter at one time and I just had a tech out yesterday to replace...

My filter head looks like its going to pop off when pump is on...any thoughts. And return jets produce alot of bubbles.
