test results-update Hey everyone, thanks for all the help you guys gave me. Watson's came out today and fixed the leaks! They showed me how to run everything and made sure my water was good! But just to double check, I took a sample of water up to the local pool store and had them test it. Here...

We didn't do the SWG, but they didn't explain anything to us! I told them that I had never had a pool before and didn't know how to vacuum it or anything. the saleperson did take me out to one of the pools and show me how to use the vacuum. We knew that we wanted the cartridge filter because...

do I leave the valve open or do I close them? Sorry about asking questions that probably seem trivial to you all but I really have no clue! thanks, Trish

Thanks for all of your help guys, I finally fixed it! They had the thing that goes in the skimmer upside down! It was up like if I was going to vacuum the pool. I felt really stupid when we realized it and mad because that was all it was. You guys are amazing though. Great info and great site.

Well where is your pool leaking from? Mine is leaking around where the skimmer is connected to the pool wool! Watson's will be at my house on Tuesday to fix our's also! Good luck.

It is constant bubbles in the strainer. I think air is getting in around the lid? Maybe? How do I take the lid off without water going everywhere? I turned off the on/off valve and opened the air valve on top of the filter and I think I turned off the other valve. Do not know which number is...

It does have a weir! Thewater is all the way up to the max line. It is no longer making the sucking noise, but air is getting into the lines somehow. The top return valve is putting bubbles in the water. I finally had to just turn it off because there was too much air in the filter. I put bleach...

I have no pressure in the flter and the skimmer is making really loud sucking noises!! Someone please tell me what to do! I now have water goin into the skimmer and comig out of the returns. What could be the problem?

ok pool is full, but when I turn the pump on, there is no water coming out of the returns. The valve on the other side of the aquasmarte system actually has1,2,3, and 4 marked on there. it is set to 3. there is a valve on the pump side that says on and off and it is set to on. Is this all...

Ok, let me know if I'm correct in this. I can just leave out the mineral cartridge and not use the trichlor "bac Pac" and that won't mess up my equipment? So if that is correct is there anyway to just bypass the aquasmarte system altogether? Another question: How long can I run the pump on an...

Ok so hopefully here are the pics.

That would be great, Thanks! It should be full by this evening. And Yes the installer said that the water needed to be half way up the skimmer to start the pump. Trish

The only way that I can get the pics on here is to put a link to the ones that I posted on Myspace. Everytime I try to upload a photo it says that the file is to big and when I try to compress it into a zip extension it still doesnt' work. Any suggestions on how to do it if the Myspace thing is...

Funny! That is where we bought our pool from and it was installed yesterday and I am also full of questions just like you!!! They weren't very good at instructing us on anything either. They suggested that we go to the "pool school" on Saturday, at 9 a.m. no less, but I have 3 kids that are...

Ok, I have read the stickies and the info about BBB. The Aquasmarte system is a mineral system. Is it still ok to use the BBB? I don't know what kind mineral though. All of the pool chemicals are swimway products. The ph plus is sodium carbonate, the conditioner is cyanuric acid, the ph minus is...
