Thank you both for the additional comments. I am back in business now, got some wire and split bolts, tied the line that was coming from the ground into a new line and tied in the SWG + booster pump + main pump. I added new copper connectors on both pumps as well, since the old ones were...

Thanks for that - and again - thanks for the additional suggestion! My light is unfortunately on the other side of the pool, so I will need to get a long run of wire to run over to the switch from the pump area, but can be done. Good news is I see the box has 2 conduits running into it, so I...

Thanks for the quick response and insight AJW22. Let me revise my diagram then, and I believe I have your points correct for the linkage I took a picture of: Red Wire = Bond connection form SWG to booster pump Green Wire = bond connection from booster pump to main pump Blue Wire = connection...

I was inspecting my pool equipment - and I believe that my pumps are not properly bonded (actually not bonded at all). I moved into a house with this setup, I have some history from the previous owner that both the booster motor and main motor were replaced at one point in time. Current setup...

That is another idea to try on the bleach solution - I have some similar types of rocks that are in the flower bed outside the pool, I could spray and soak on one of those to see if it discolors and go from there. I know what you mean on the phosphates, I see there is a mixed review on their...

Thanks for these suggestions - I have not done the overnight chlorine test, I will do that and get back to you (going to be out of pocket for ~a week, but can do when I am back. Appreciate that suggestion! I had not thought about drying out the water feature to try and hit the algae, I had...

If that is the case, does this algae create any issues for the pool in general then - other than just being a visual nuisance? Any things you think I could do to lessen it (i.e. run the pump over the water feature less? spray the areas with bleach periodically? any sort of sealants?). I wish...

So here are my chemistry stats as of today (Katy, TX for climate reference) Pool built ~ 2008 I believe (we are 2nd home owner for about 1.5 years) K2006 test kit FC: 5.6 CC: 0 pH: 7.7 (my water feature is not on a separate pump, so I have it running generally when all the jets are going so my...

Thanks for the feedback all, you really helped me out. Sorry for the delayed response, had some people in town around the holiday weekend back at start of September and got bogged down! Appreciate all the info :)

Thanks both for the responses. At the bottom on the skimmer, there are indeed 2 holes. One seems to have suction, the other seems to have no force around it. Looks like this: Is there something I would test to see it they are hooked up to those floor “drains” on the pool? And yes, I...
