Thanks Allen. Should I just cut the DuoClear cartridge except for the top? It's unlikely it has any life left. We've been here for 5 months and unlikely the previous owner ever changed it out in 3 years so it's past it's life doing whatever it was supposed to do. I have high phosphates and a...

Hello TFP team, My new salt cell has been in service for 2 months. Water balance is good but the Fusion 2 chassis leaks on clean mode. So, I decided to pull the salt cell and the DuoClear cartridge. Do I really need the DuoClear cartridge? Other threads say it's a waste of time/money. I...

Gary, I had this exact issue. My pump would turn off and the spa would drain to the jets. The pool service company replaced the check valve to no avail. The 3-way valve (mine is on an actuator) was turning exactly 180 degrees the wrong way when the pump turned off which caused the problem...

Hi team, just an overdue update here. The new SWCG has been placed into service and the chemicals are balanced as they should. I'll tackle the lights next but really appreciate the confidence to go this solo.

Thanks. Good advice.

Thx. Pool is crystal clear and oddly enough always has been even with these high TA, CH and CYA levels

Is the pool safe to swim in with these chemical levels if I don’t get to this until next week?

PoolGate. Not sure I follow? I'm attempting an exchange so the walls won't be exposed.

Thanks for all your help. I can't recall the last time I looked forward to such a fun weekend project. :cool:

Your FURTHER READING DRAINING article indicates a deep pump and shallow fill: "Put the pump in the deep end and fill from the shallow end if your fill water is nearly the same temperature as the pool water, you have a saltwater pool, or have very high CH." I have 2 of those 3; saltwater and...

Can I balance using a drain valve? Obviously I can't adjust the 600GPH in but if the pump is less than 600 GPH I can balance using a valve out near the equipment since there is so much gravity pressure.

I cut the GPH in half since it's a 2650 pump and I'll be hanging 15'. That's about midrange according to the pump manual estimating the height above discharge level. I assume just let it run until the pump, water fill or my patience gives up? The longer the better to ensure a full turnover?
