Thanks Newdude that worked. Many thanks to splashpad,dean,( first and only slam), mknauss ( heater use question) and most recently Rancho,( I changed the mechanical timer ) , everyone at TFP is so helpful!

Here I am again asking TFP for help. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am trying to ” check out as a guest” and use a credit card. The screen just keeps reloading PayPal and asking for a password.

We successfully replaced the timer thanks to your help with what to purchase and the step by step directions!

Thank you both for the quick reply. I do turn off the pump whenever switching between setting. I do have a rinse, I guess I should have used that! Going forward ,I will use the submersible pump, much easier the dragging backwash hose a distance and rolling back up!

Quick question, I lowered my water level to WASTE yesterday and when I returned the value to filter ,some DE got in pool. Why did this happen and how can I avoid in future? I am filtering brushing and vacuuming ,but I want my water TFP clear again! Thank you in advance.

Thanks so much for the step by step directions, exactly what I needed!!

Sorry, I‘m confused by your response, but maybe because my question wasn‘t clear. The wheel for the pump is not keeping time. I can turn On manually, but if I put a stop or start thingy on the wheel, it doesn’t turn on or off because the wheel doesn’t advance. Had the same issue previously for...

I have dual basic timers, one for the Polaris and one for the pump/filter. Last week the cleaner timer wasn’t working , so I would manually turned on and off.( inside the pump time). I noticed yesterday it wasn’t seated properly and corrected this and now it working fine, but the pump timer...

I also have many years of being pool stored before I found TFP. I do take a sample after adding water for opening. ( fill with well) I tried to politely suggest that testing was wrong, I couldn’t see how my pH could be so high with my TA at 0! They politely told me I didn’t know what I was...

Thanks for the chart, just what I was looking for!

Right, I don’t really know where it was stored before purchasing from pallets inside store. But if we assume inside storage , is there any calculation to figure out how quickly it breakdown?

I just bought 10 jugs of Walmart liquid chlorine for 5.47 gallon date 100th day of 2023. How long before this starts to breakdown ? It was located inside store . Trying to decide if I should buy more before it’s gone .
