Hello All, When I turn in my 1.5 HP Hayward pump it sounds a little lower pitched than normal, smokes a little, then runs fine. It's 7 years old. I'm in Michigan I run it only during the summer. On average maybe an hour or two a day. Is there a component I should look to replace? If it's the...

Yeah it's 220. Why wouldn't I need a neutral? So I would just need to wire in something like the wion box? It's not available anymore, is there something else like it you would recommend?

Hello everyone, First thanks for all being so helpful so far, my pool is running great and never looked better. I'm trying to find the best way to run my filter in off peak hours / when I'm not home. I was thinking of hooking up a wifi switch, but they require a neutral, which I don't think I...

Thanks!

Thank you sir. So if I keep tye solar cover on most of the day how long do you think I would need to run it to ONLY mix the chemicals, if the cover is on? Also any tips for stopping my solar cover from dumping all the debris in the pool everytime I roll with my roller?

It's single speed and generally doesn't get very dirty outside of storm/rains - or when some trees around drop their peddles, cottonwood, etc. I usually run it 4-8 hours a day depending on how many people are swimming, surface stuff like I mentioned, etc. Thanks for the tips.

I've read the pool school post, and a dozen other articles on the web. I've heard mix opinions of turnover and I'd like to please get another opinion from the experts here. I think I have all my chemicals at a good level, pool looks great, and is running well. Pool description in the...

What's the best kit you recommend to test my FC day to day? Or should I just use the K-2006?

Perfectly clear. The walls are fine, there's still a little debris on the bottom (probably some dead algae but I'm gonna vac today. When I opened and went to the pool store 24 hours later with a sample they said CC was 1, there was a chlorine lock and I needed to add A TON of chlorine. I...

Hello! First, thanks for all the help so far, the school and forum have been great. I got my 2006-K in the mail, ran the test and have some questions. (Results below). First, I did three CC test (with 25 ml) from three different spots. When I did the test the last drops, two were between 1 and...

Thanks. Just opened er up in Michigan, and trying to warm it up quick, but I figured some of the combined chloramines would get burned off by the sun so I've been keeping the solar cover off. Is it possible to burn off enough of the combined chlorine without reaching the SLAM level? Just...

Oh, during all this process can I use the solar cover during the day? Or do I want the sun to burn off some of the chlorine?

Oh, how much should I run the filter? Normal? Or 24/7?

Gotcha! Thanks!
