Squirting some dish soap in the pool, breaks the surface tension and may cause the leaves to sink

It is strange that the psi didnt change after cleaning the filter. Does the pressure gauge go to zero when the pump is off? What type of Filter is it? Do you have any water features or in floor cleaning systems in the pool? If all of the return is going through one of these it will cause the...

does the hole have threads on the inside? if so, it may be designed for this type of diverter. http://sospool.com/product_info.php?cPa ... ts_id=2137

1. I use a Pentair Rainbow cyanuric acid test. If the pool Does not have a backwash valve then i add bleach and do not add tablets. I understand that there is some splash out which reduces the cya level but it more or less remains constant. 2. We test using dpd powder. If the chlorine level...

For me personally, if the pool does not have a backwash valve i keep my cya at 100 to 150 and keep it constant. I usually use 2 gallons of liquid and some muriatic acid. If the pool has a backwash valve, i use the tri chlor pucks. It works out pretty well. There are a few pools that i add a...

Is that a valve on top?

okay...am i the only one that didn't understand that update?

I have put in dozens of those motors, they are great. The wiring is a little different though so read the instructions

It sounds like the leak is coming from the shaft seal. Which would make the motor start making that racket after a short time. I would explain this to them. Either the shaft seal was not replaced or not properly replaced or the pumps seal plate was damaged when the motor was replaced. They...

nor would you want to swim in any pool with a ph of 2

https://www.americanbestpoolsupply.com/detail/13495.htm I would definitely get this. No new time clock, no pulling an extra wire, 2 speed, it is a great motor.

Re: GREAT FIND!! 2EZ Speed - .75HP Square Flange 2 Speed $30 I have installed around 10 of these motors. Haven't had a problem. The price is great.

I have been under the impression that the liquid chlorine has a high ph. So i am wrong about that? Muriatic acid is starting to get very expensive, so i figured using the acidity of the tri chlor would be a good way to go, because its cheaper and i get some chlorine out of it. I know i have...

I tried figuring this out with the calculator but it does not give ph effects of bleach. What combination of 12.5 bleach and 3 in tri chlor tabs would be the best to keep ph stable? Thanks

A supplier says he carries 32% hydrochlorous acid? What exactly is this?

awesome thanks!

My dpd powder is always sticking to the inside of the dipper, and so i dont know if i am getting the proper amount of dpd powder in the mixture. How much will this throw off my results?

Thanks. I am in socal it gets to be about 110 here in the summer

My CYA is at 100. I use a CYA test kit from Rainbow pool products. The inspector wants the CYA at 100 so it has to be there which is why we use tablets. I use soda ash to raise the PH because the acidic tablets are bringing it down. Is there something better to use to raise ph without...

I have a Public swimming pool that has a TA of 180. This high alkalinity isn't causing any problems with the PH or the pool in general. However the state inspector will be coming by sometime this summer and he will want the alk at 120. I don't want to add muriatic acid because the pool is...

Have you checked the pressure on your filter? Have you checked the pump basket to make sure it is not impacted with leaves? I also would recommend the four wheeled pool cleaner

why don't you just drain it and clean everything out with a pressure washer? It would have taken a day and you would have saved a lot of money.

I have a Taylor k 2005 test kit. When dropping R-0001 in a sample and it turns cloudy, does this mean that there is high CYA levels in the pool?
