Because of the guarantee I couldn't take it apart They sent me the images when they said it wasn't covered because of the damage to the shaft

These were brand new Hayward pumps Never had the pump returned so I can't tell if there is a brand name on the seal

Hayward Powerline pump leaks after 6 months use After contacting my supplier they said it wasn't guaranteed as the water was outside the correct parameters (acidic) and irrepairable I strongly denied the parameters were wrong as I use the Taylor 2006C test kit They did however give me a...

You really need to get your TA down to a more appropriate level with muriatic acid but only work on lowering your pH to 7.2 then aerate to raise your pH up again. Repeat the process until your TA is at the correct level

Hi Just started playing with the app On the app it suggest FC to be between 1 and 3 but in recommended levels it's 3 to 7 and on the CYA/Chlorine chart it's 3 to 5 for my Fibreglass with a CYA of 20 I can't seem to change these recommended levels although it comes up correct with a slam level of...

It won't cause any damage but won't be as effective as new Retest after adding will give you an indication

I would be inclined to just release the union at the appliance and see if air/water comes out first of all Sometimes you do get water in a gas run (condensation) which causes an airlock but on opening to atmosphere helps it push through. If not your suggestion of blowing out the gas run would be...

Really all you need to do is turn off the electricity and gas to the firebowl Undo the union from the gas line to the firebowl Turn the gas on and check for gas (smell should be sufficient no naked flames) Yes do the same for the other one I would be inclined to do the last one on the line first

You may have air in your gas line Have you tried lighting it with a taper Sometimes the igniter lead shorts out

You will want to know the combined chlorine

You could also try adding some DE through the skimmer to raise the pressure a bit and see how it goes first

I had the same problem and put a smaller pump in Pumps should be matched to filter

You really need a way of not running the solar when there is no solar gain, otherwise you could be cooling the pool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for that The problem is shipping (if you can find someone) and 20% VAT I might have a word with LO-Chlor and see if they have a test

I'm based in the UK and i've been using LO-Chlor No More Metal I'm not sure of what composition it is They say it can be filtered out

That's a bit of a rough deal not knowing when to top up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the reply Is the only way we lose it by backwashing or does it break down Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi All After completing an AA treatment, adding metal sequestrant, bringing chlorine up to correct level and balancing Is there a test to check the amount of sequestrant in the water or should it just be used periodicaly

You could also search online for "O" rings after measuring the thickness and recess Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What really concerns me is the low pH of 2, very acidic Can you recheck or is its a mistake Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone Totally clear now and I won't puzzle about it anymore Completely different from the UK Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That makes more sense to me now but if you add the 2 hot 110-120v surely they must be on different phases because if you add 2 x 110-120v on the same phase you will have 110-120v Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not an electrician but have a basic understanding Sent from my iPhone using...

Still confused So would you need to have 2 phase's at your property to increase to 240 I suspect that isn't normal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Just curious Looking through posts on the site I see reference's to wiring up for 120volt or 240volt I know the UK is nomimal 240volt and the USA is 120volt but I don't understand why anyone in the states would want to wire up for 240volt

My SLAM level is 10 because my CYA IS 20 (covered pool) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I finished the AA I kept the chlorine to the minimum as per the instructions for 2 weeks added sequestrant but it still wasn't holding That's when I started the slam The FC is at 7 now, ill drop it to 5 and add more sequestrant Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Texas Splash and Swampwoman The loss was over 24hrs The water is clear but I have been having trouble maintaining chlorine after AA treatment and only now does it appear to stabilise I was concerned that I may have had some invisible algae and I slammed the pool I'm very low on reagent and...

Hi My pool is covered and I have a thermal blanket so no UV degredation and no bather load Because I'm getting low on reagents (already ordered) I am only testing once in 24hrs I have a chlorine loss of 1.5ppm in 24hrs. Would that be acceptable to pass the OCLT

Thanks for that. I've checked out the site and they seem quite reasonable $24 but the shipping is $34 so I will wait and see if I can get a bigger order to make it more cost effective Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
