Update: AHS sent a repairman out this morning and they ended up replacing the bearings, shaft seal, and something else on the pool circulation pump. I know AHS doesn't have the best reputation but in this case having all this done for the $75 fee was a great value to me.

Thanks a three hour job for you would be a five hour job for me likely the pool company is coming tomorrow to take a look at the pump thanks everyone. Also what about the sand that was in the bolt holes and under the pump and also the salt deposits coming from the bottom of the pump should I be...

So I have taken over the maintenance of my mother in laws 24k gallon inground saltwater pool for about a month now. Yesterday this happens. Very loud noise coming from the impeller area. http://youtu.be/P2AqoeXArZE Does this sound like the bearings are going bad? I started to try and take...

Thanks I did add 64 oz of 8.25% this evening to bring it back up to 5.9 24x52 ABG / 19" 100 # sand filter / 1.5 HP Eco-kleer pump / Taylor K-2006 test kit

Just wanted to give an update with some pics thanks to tfp I've successfully switched to chlorine from permasalt and I must say it is just as easy if not easier. It took about a month of slamming seems like if not longer w some setbacks with vacation and all but steady and persistent works...

Update after slamming last night: FC 10.4 CC 1.2 PH 7.6 The CYA I added about 2-3 days ago is taking forever to dissolve. Still a whole bunch in the sock. I stuck it in the skimmer basket to see if it would speed things up. The water was getting clear but after adding the CYA and slamming its...

I've gone through SLAM and a few others. So much info out there and I'm sure I need I re-read SLAM again. I didn't see in the SLAM article where it indicated if I had low CYA level to keep slamming or bring CYA first then SLAM. Thanks all for the great info and patience with a newbie 24x52...

Finally got my Taylor K-2006 kit in and here are my readings from this morning. Only had time to test the 3 below before I had to go to work. FC 0.4 CC 0.4 CYA - The black dot never went away so I am guessing it is way way low. I think I did the test correctly. What should my next step be...

I use one of those large bouncy rubber balls. Perfect fit.

Thanks all, I thought maybe I could use the pool store test results until my own test kit came in but that sounds like a bad idea? 24 ft AG round Former Perma-Salt system (trying to switch) 1.5 HP Eco-Kleer pump

Yes they are from the pool store until my Taylor kit comes in. I've dumped about 8 gallons of bleach in over past two weeks. I def need to reread the slam instructions. 24 ft AG round Former Perma-Salt system (trying to switch) 1.5 HP Eco-Kleer pump
