I can read and understand schematics when the lines are all there. The problem in this case was the lines weren't there. Musta been a problem at the print shop. A dual timer set-up sounds nice and probably works real well, but in the grand scheme of things this pump will operate 99% of the...

Hi all, and thanks in advance for any wisdom you can provide. My old single speed pump recently decided to start making a lot of noise then quit working. So, after seeing my electric bill went down 50 bucks and the only thing that had changed was the pump not running I figured it would be...

It would be helpful if you could post a some pictures of your salt cell and the broken parts of the filter. Normally you don't need to completely disassemble the salt cell to clean the plates.

I think most folks here would highly endorse the TF-100, I know I do! Since your pool is green the XL option would definitely be a good investment.

Hi, and welcome to the forum! We recommend either the TF-100 test kit which can be purchased at TFTestkits.net or the Taylor 2006C which can be purchased in a lot of places. Please note the C on the end of the Taylor kit...if you get the regular 2006 you will run out of reagents quickly...

Just throwing this out there as I've been following this thread. Is there a possibility that maybe your CYA is higher than you think? That test is very subjective, I think most folks have problems with it...I know I do. I only ask because you stated in post 15 that the issue seemed to...

Welcome to the forum! How long ago was the pool completed? If very recently I would think the PB would be on the hook to fix the problem. You should not be having to jump through hoops to get the pump primed on a new pool. ---Edit--- It would also be helpful if you would put the particulars...

What a view!

Squeeze some out onto your fingers then use your fingers to work it around and into the o-ring. You are not trying to lay down a bead as if you were sealing windows or baseboard.

Congrats on the new pool! and welcome to the site.

If you want to vacuum to the filter, the setting you currently have is fine. The pool doesn't look that dirty so if it were me, that is what I would do. I know nothing about Bromine pools so I am no help there.

Do you have your own test kit? If so a full set of numbers for all the fine folks here to see would probably be a good place to start. If you don't have your own test kit I would highly recommend you get one on the way. The forum's recommended kits are the TFTestkits TF100 (tftestkits.net) or...

The pipes going left and right out of the first valve and up and down out of the second valve are all supplying "pressure" back towards the pool. You just need to figure out what each one is feeding. gtemkin gave you very good, detailed directions on how to do this back in post #8 of this...

Don't know if the link will be much help, but here is a previous discussion on the topic... Vinyl liner over Concrete or Steel walls

Sounds like you are using a 25ml sample. Switch to 10ml sample and divide number of drops by 2. It is a little less accurate but sufficient for SLAM'ing.
