I have this spa-side remote, but it appears some kind of critter chewed through one of the buttons. I’d like to replace the button if possible rather than replacing the whole thing. $500 seems ridiculous for such a seemingly basic piece of technology. Does anyone know if I can purchase and...

So here is a picture of my backwash line. A guy came over and briefly took a look at it. He told me that the valve in the 2nd picture needed to be closed. It’s when I do that that my pump loses prime when turned off. If I keep it in the position seen in the picture, the pump doesn’t lose prime...

Could that also be the cause of the air in the pump?

Thank you, @ajw22. Here is a short video showing the amount of air in the basket: This one I took to try to demonstrate the sound I’m hearing. It seems to be coming from this area, but like I said, I can’t tell for sure: Here you can hear the air coming out of the plug when the pump is off...

Hi. I’m hoping someone here can help me. Recently my pump was leaking water under the motor. I replaced the shaft seal and went ahead and replaced all the accessible gaskets, o-rings, etc. during that process. Motor seems to be running fine now and no more leak, but now I’m getting a bunch of...

@ajw22 thank you.

Does this picture help? @ajw22

Thank you @ajw22. I’ll try to get better pictures later today. I checked that one and there was nothing clogged in there or anything. Spa level continues to drop when pump is off ?.

I’ve done enough reading to know I need to check my check valve. The question is, which one is my check valve? :)

Thank you @Etchase and @JamesW!

I know that if CC is at or below 0.5 that’s ok, but the book also says, “In an outdoor pool, CC will normally stay at or near zero as long as you maintain an appropriate FC level and the pool gets some direct sunlight.” My pool gets a ton of direct sunlight, so is it a problem or a concern then...

@JJ_Tex yeah, I am not so much concerned about the FC loss as about the CC. Trying to figure out how I can have 0 CC mid-afternoon yesterday and 1 CC this morning. I will maintain it at SLAM level and do an OCLT tonight. Thank you! @Flying Tivo thank you. I will look into that.

I started SLAMing my pool about a week ago now when I noticed what seemed to be black algae. How I got that is somewhat of a wonder in itself. Although I hadn’t added chlorine to the pool in a couple days, because I had brought the level up to 7 ppm the last time I did add chlorine, when I...

@frogabog i did an OCLT which showed no loss of chlorine from last night and 0.5 CC or less. I’ve been brushing. I brushed the spots specifically with a stainless steel brush head. Spots are still there. I’m going to the store right now to buy some Vitamin C tablets to test if they are iron...

Are these spots algae or stains? I thought they were stains, but I think I am getting more of them. I don’t remember there being this many when we moved into the house about a month and a half ago. However, I have been SLAMing my pool for the past few days because of what I believe was black...

Thank you both! Great, helpful advice!

Thank you @Richard320 what about adding more DE? Do I need to now? If so, how much? ?

Thanks @ajw22 now I’ve run into another issue. After adding the DE I went back to find a steady stream of water leaking from the filter through the clamp. I turned it off, opened it, and the O ring looked in place. I closed it and tightened it pretty good, and now it’s down to a slow drip. 1) do...
