My AquaPRO heat pump of 5 years is throwing a dPC Error Code. Anyone have any ideas or best persons to contact? Heat Pump: Aquapro Pool Heat Pump – Pool Supplies – In the Swim

Thanks for the advice! I'm amazed how many people you all help on here. Truly amazing.

Just read your reply but had already completed similar steps. I was just curious if the CYA settles out or stays homogeneous. I'm very surprised if it is this low as I do not drain my pool at all before winterizing, but I do have to pump quite a bit out when starting up. I've never had it...

It mixed for 2 hours prior to testing. pH 8.0 FC 0

I am opening my pool today, *YAY!*, and tested CYA at <10. CYA was in range when closed. Does the CYA stay fairly homogeneous or do I need to circulate for a while prior to testing? Basically...start adding CYA or let circulate and retest tomorrow?

I do not have issues with TA but as you stated my SWG has me adding acid 1-2 times per week. What brands are available? And recommended?

For a residential pool is it worth using a Solaxx pHTek or other system to automatically control your pH? I deal with pH probes at work and we are calibrating monthly and replacing at least annually. I like the easiness and automation but is it worth the $500. Opinions?

Bump...anyone else have input?

I have The Poolcleaner 4X and can barely get the hoses together because the seal is TIGHT. You could use PVC cement but they would be permanently stuck together. Silicone would be good too but would also provide a semi-permanent seal. You could get them apart but wouldn't want to do this...

In feet, Length x Width x Average Depth = Cubic Feet of Water Cubic Feet of Water x 7.48 = Gallons of Water in your Pool. ***FYI, there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot.

You can install in a vertical position. The pressure will be no different within the piping system. It may seem tight but will be ok. I have two in my system. It takes very little flow to open one up. Distance from chlorinator doesn't matter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would recommend a Spring Check Valve. This does not rely on gravity and can be mounted in any position. Many of the swing or "flapper" type check valves are rated for gravity flow and are not designed for a pressure piping system such as a pool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone used a DOSATRON to inject their bleach? http://www.dosatronusa.com/products/product-catalogue/D25RE09-11-GPM.aspx I use them at work on several applications to apply certain chemicals to water prior to adding to a tank. You would install it inline and the pumped water powers the...
