So i have been having issues with my M400 since i opened this year (running 20 minutes and stopping, running for 6 hours). Took it in for evaluation once and after a week they found nothing and said it behaved totally normally. Since then i have been still having the same issues. Last week it...

Any idea what could be causing this? Just 4.5 hours straight! Is this bad?

I just opened my pool in North Jersey today and put in my M400 after having the leaves vacummed out. I turned it on 3 times and it only ran for about 20 minutes every time. I know its supposed to take an hour and a half. I can't find any actual instructions regarding the control panel. If i...

I don't have any kind of automation. The system is probably 30 years old with manual valves to direct the return.

I do have a spa attached that is raised up and waterfalls into the pool. That could do it?

Update It rained a lot last Monday and Tuesday so I tested after ph was 8.2 again. I added MA and it dropped to 7.6. I just tested again now after 4 days and it's again 8.2 We had no rain since and I added no water manually. Is my TA of 70 too low for manually chlorinated? What else could be...

Got it. So I'm basically stuck and simply have to add MA whenever I fill? What can I use to drop TA? What's my target TA?

Fill water ph is 8ish (maybe a drop higher, but less than current pool ph reading, i.e. Not as deep a red on the Taylor test) and the TA is 120

thanks. The plaster is likely 30 years old or more Ummmm. Today I added chlorine at a out 2 pm and tested at 7pm. Is that too close to the add time?

My ph was reading 8. 2 or higher. I added 4 lbs of the ph down to the and got it to 7.6 a week later it's up to 8.2 to I added a quart or so of muriatic acid (the concentrated stuff) and was down to 7.4 or 7.6. A week later and AGAIN its at 8.2 it higher. All I add is liquid chlorine. Haven't...

How much does it cost to replace the cell in a swcg?

Thanks guys, I'll do some digging. As far as automatic chlorinator I meant soemthing like this... Hayward CL200 In-line Automatic Chemical Feeder Amazon.com: Hayward CL200 In-line Automatic Chemical Feeder: Garden & Outdoor

So I just ran the numbers and i am spending at least $500 a summer on my liquid chlorine (4 a gallon at Lowe's and about 100 days and 2.5 gallons or so every 2 days). Im thinking about getting either a swcg or automatic chlorinator, both of which should significantly reduce my cost. I am pretty...

I have quite a few tiles that came off the but I'm hoping if we just replace all the tiles with waterproofing it won't be a major huge deal (as compared to also replacing the entire coping)

So I just had a guy from another company (carribean blue, if anyone can comment on them I'd appreciate it!) come out and he said that replavong the coping woild end up witg ubeven parts due to tye settling of the deck. He saod that the coping may have water behind the tiles casuing them to come...
