sounds like you have been sold a "soft" zeolite, as this is a common problem with using this in a pressure filter situation Its a shame that like with most products some companies will jump in on someone elses research and flog an inferior product..... the pool industry is not the only place...

just your typical ioniser claim i have sent the site to the APVMA as its an aussie made product - and definitly not approved on their site they take a pretty harsh line on claims of chlorine free pool sanitisers

my findings have been the same, and recall reading something similar however that borates would infact help prevent the corrosion to high flow on copper bends i have also seen errosion we have a fibreglass pool company here that we will not provide heaters to as their advice to clients is that...

A flow gauge would be a complete overkill for a domestic backyard pool - if you have $400 to blow, spend it on lights or something else with a pool this size plumbed in 50mm PVC most domestic pools will run around 40' head, a 3/4hp(1.5bhp) pump delivering 80gpm at 40' head will be more the...

the missing rubber sounds like the mechanical seal boot the "dry rot" look is generally a good sign of being run dry my suggestion would be replace the motor and seal plate, by the sounds of it your seal plate is stuffed - and has been for some time, the constant leaking is a sign of the...

there is nothing wrong with too stringent testing one of the great things about the APVMA is that the come down on those who fail to comply like a ton of bricks, not pussyfoot around the problem and pretend its not there i am not the worlds greatest fan of chlorine - however after so long in...

I generally find claims of "Add no chemicals to your spa for 12 months" as being a bit far fetched, not to mention what will happen to your heater element in that time surpirsingly the Australian govt is really effective in this with their APVMA - i have seen the link from the ecosmarte...

only in New Zealand, can people get away with selling this s**t, http://simplesilver.co.nz and the number thta have jumped on this bandwagon is unbelievable :hammer: we have a national swimming pool water quality standard - however lax authorites mean you can package any form of...

I know the article was definitly skewed towards ionisers - and personally i am not a beliver in these, however some people swear by them the point i am making is that there is a different point of view for everything :) a glass media manufacturer will make their own claims, ozone, mineral, UV...

Wow - pretty brutal reaction to someone else's opinion and experiences the "brochure" is a sales referal and outline for shops and service people just because someone has a different line of thought to what you subscribe to does not make it rubbish or Crud. you guys are happy to pour litres...

i am an absolute believer in Zeolite having sold it for the last 6 years, and use it as our standard media Here are some of the things i have found 1 - Water Clarity, outperforms DE with research from the university of Adelaide (australia) claiming filtration to 2 mircons. this does however...

pressure cleaners can be a bit pool specific - and an online shop wont offer the same support and advice as local pool professional at least finding someone locally - while you may pay slightly more for the cleaner, help is a short phone call away

The basic model Dolphin Orion should be in your price range the only shortfall is they do not clean the walls, however the result they make on the floor and surface is worth the money Theres a ton of reviews around on them, i have been selling them for 4 years, and in that time have had 2...

if all of that is going to be burried under ground - do yo ureally want to have the "havent had any problems yet" attitude about it ? glue - and lots of it for a good positive connection What volume of water are you planning on running through the return line how many return jets are you...

Do you have a "Bypass/Recirculate" ability on your filter, simply bypassing the filter would be easier if posible than pulling it apart would allow you to rule out a clogging/ back pressure problem

Im assuming that the seal kit included a new mechanical seal for the pump ? also make sure your pump does not "run dry" as this can cause damage to the mechanical seal, resulting in your original leak problem futher problems can arise due to long periods of water going where it is not meant to...

thanks guys...... while i would ove to admit to having a pool at home, i ripped it out last year and put in an irrigation system and a lawn instead due to the pool only being used one in 3 years to wash the dogs.... I also live 5 mins drive from the nearest beach, and have the entire hauraki...
