Thanks all, I removed the the filter over the weekend including the inlet connection from the base section. I replaced the O ring and added a little lube and it seems to have resolved my issue :)

Hey 1Poolman1, strap wrench is on order along with new O rings. Do you know if this is a simple process ? I've cleaned the filters several times so know how to remove everything, but I've never removed the base.

Thanks 1poolman1 I will look for a strap wrench today and see if tightening it will resolve the issue.

Hey All, Today I noticed that I have a small leak from the intake pipe of my Jandy CL580 filter. I've provided an photo of where I can feel water, you can also see on the ground where its dripping from. It appears to be coming out of the joint nearest the filter. Is this something I can...

I intend to go buy some muriatic acid this weekend in order to lower my TA. In the meantime I'm steadily raising my pH which is currently hovering around 7.4 - 7.6 I'm hoping to get it to 7.8 by the weekend aka more spa time, its a hard life ;) I'm presuming that I should then use the Pool...

Thanks TexEdmond, I do have a spa at the end of the pool and I admit it's not had as much use lately due to the colder weather. I will run it today for a few hours to see how that helps the pH. There are also a couple of return nozzles that already break the water so I'm good there. As far as...

Thanks I will order some now. But I'm a little confused on adding this with my ph being only 7.4 Do I need to raise my ph first or should I add the muratic acid until the TA is lower and the raise my ph back to 7.4 ? is there a ph level I should never drop below ? 7.0 ? Is there an easy...

do you recommend muriatic acid or dry acid/PH Reducer ?

Thanks mknauss, I will look into lowering the TA. Also, I went ahead and did the phosphate test too, it was high... like 4000ppb high. Is this something to be worried about ?

So I did another full weekly test yesterday and all the results were around the same as before, which is pretty good. However this doesn't seem to have resolved the amount of flakes Im seeing in the pool. I was going to clean the SWG cell but I've done this before but it scales up again in...

I think this is the key. I'm still having to have my SWG at near 60 - 70% to maintain a good Chlorine value. I'm hoping that increasing the CYA I can get this down to 30 - 40%.

I thought that the chance of a "miracle fix" was too good to be true :) Also I deleted the app and all its data and re-entered everything and I too now get -0.14 Strange ?!

Have you ever used SCALEFree ? Do you think its worth adding to the pool to help remove the flake build up ?
