The bubbles are coming from the pump housing. In the past, you would see bubbles for a few seconds when you put the filter on and then it was air. Now, it seems the bubbles are appearing all the time whilst I run the filter. Yes, I had filled the pool back because the water level that was...

Sorry, I dont understand your question. So this is where we are: I did not run the filter for about 3 or 4 days - The pool water level dropped while the filter was not running every day but after 3/4 days it seemed to stop dropping. Almost at the level of the bottom of the pool skimmer. What...

Thank you for your feedback. Re. your questions & comments: Yes, I plan to keep the filter off until I see where the water levels stops. Pool is concret The leak problem I had some 12-18 months ago, was cracks in the concrete around the pool skimmer. I had hired a specialist for this and he had...

So A few weeks ago our spa water level was dropping to the same level as the pool. After some research we removed the check valve and installed a new one. This was about 2 weeks ago. It was not easy installing it and we had to add some pvc piping and it was not a perfect fit. Initially we had...

Thanks Jim.

Jim, I am a little confused. Is this not the check valve (circled in red). As the part you recommending, does not fit here - It would fit that other part with the handle? (i.e. right image in my previous email)? Thanks, Gary The pipe in the ground is PVC.

Can someone please confirm if this is a check valve. If I can read it correctly, it says something like "s10-burbank oz". How easy are these things to remove? I guess it may need to be cleaned or could be damaged (requiring replacing) but I presume this is causing the problem for my low water...

Here is some more pics that may help. that pipe in the ground goes into the ground - no idea where it goes.

I have a pool /spa combo where the spa water feeds the pool. The last few weeks, inconsistently (as it seems to happen every few days) the water in the spa drops alot after I have run the filter. The pool is fine. Based on what I am reading online, it seems like a check valve issue. Please let...

10 ppm FC? Is that not pretty high? Taylor kit suggests keeping it between 2 and 4 ppm $20 a month - wow, I wish! I just laid out $120 - that includes, though, $70 on a 35 lb container of 3" tablets

I have not put any Cyanuric acid in the pool, as yet. I am pretty much following the SLAM procedure and we will see how it goes. I have been running it for about 3 hours now - not alot of change but it seems to be less green and more cloudy green (lighter green). In a few hours I iwll stop the...

If someone can recommend what we need as per these results that would be much appreciated. Our new cartridge filter is arriving tomorrow so not sure if I should be apply chemicals before this arrives or wait till put in the new filter. The pool is green (as per message above). I received the...

Im also waiting on my new filter cartridge so not sure I understand what adding chlorine now would help ? also, not sure how to do pool math with out a kit? thanks

You were bang on re. filter - I took the cartridge out and it is running on full throttle - I just ordered online a new cartridge, should be here later this week. Now for the bad news - As I had mentioned, I had a few test strip lying around the house, so I just tested the water. free chlorine...

Thanks for all the input. Will run that filter test tonight and then shop for a test kit as well, hopefully I can have a clean, sparkling pool again someday soon

What is the main difference between the test kit and the test strips. For a novice like me, I never seem to know much and what to get after I have used the strips. I presume using a test kit, it is more accurate and one would have a better idea in exactly what you need? Another option is to take...

Thank you. I will do that test this evening re. filter I have been feeding the pool with alot of liquid chlorine & shock of late but too no avail. I only have those test strips - guess I need to get myself a proper test kit as those strips dont seem to help me much?

Okay, I am no expert so I will try and describe this issue has accurately as I can: I have a inground pool with a half moon spa where (when the filter is running) the water from the spa flows over into the pool. This process, in many ways, is how water circulates and the effectiveness of the...
