I called and asked for another representative st SR Smith. She was much more helpful and at least looked to find the specs on th o-ring. While she couldn't find it, she is continuing to search and has been in contact with me regarding this. I'm holding out hope.

SR Smith was no help with this. They offered to sell me a new led bulb to acquire the o-ring but would not offer to send me a replacement or even tell me the size of the o-ring so I could order one myself. I can't express how disappointed I am with their level of customer service.

I did not. I realized the o-rings that I had were from my old led lights, same make and model. I had to replace the bulbs, which came with new o-rings, and control panel after a lightning strike several years ago. I have been trying to find the o-ring size for the FLED-C-TR lights. I even...

I left the light fixtures unscrewed from the wall so SLAM water would circulate behind them.. While messing with these, it looks like there may be algae behind the lenses of the 2 lights. I'm going to pull up the lights and try to clean behind the lenses. I have a couple O-rings but want to...

I have been fighting algae all summer with a seemingly perpetual SLAM. After cleaning every part of the pool for the xx time. I think I may have algae behind the lenses of our 2 sr Smith treo pool lights. I will have to disconnect the from their control box to get enough slack to pull them up...

After deep cleaning the sand filter I resumed the SLAM but now at mustard algae levels. I vacuumed the pool and cleaned every surface including inside the skimmers and behind the light fixtures. I also retested the water and got the following. FC 13.5 CH 125 TA 70 CYA 40 CC 0.5 SALT 5000 Cl...

I only use the rings when the temps start to drop. I don't think they help. I've been trying to maintain slam levels but it's been hard to while working and the temp is upper 90s to100 now. I still get little dusting of light brown along the seams and in little dead zones along the perimeter...

I deep cleaned the sand filter and plan to do another complete set of tests and resume the SLAM. Adding water to the pool now to bring it up to the correct level after much evaporation and a backwash/rinse after the deep clean.

I used a putty knife and rubber mallet to tap it a few times then the strap wrench loosened it without difficulty. I removed the multiport and flushed it with a garden hose for about 45 minutes. Wasn't sure when to stop the debris just kept coming up. Once it started to slow and I stopped...

This will be my first time deep cleaning the sand filter. These threads have not been opened in 7 years. I'm I setting myself up for a broken union?

I let some of the pieces soak in bleach and they are bits of foam. Are the drain covers removeable without unscrewing every screw on the cover? Woke up to the same small spots on the perimeter of the bottom of the pool. Just getting disgusted with this. I took the drain covers off and...

No stairs. Steps up to a wet deck with bubbles which are clean. I removed the flapper doors on the skimmers and they were clean. I used a different brush to clean around the back side the face plate to the skimmer and started to see bits of brownish yellow debris fall away. I ended up taking...

Update: Sorry, busy with work and trying to stay on top of the pool issues so I have not been able to update with my continued problems. After removing the light fixtures and cleaning behind them, I am still getting a 1-2 brownish dime sized algae spots in the morning. By the time I get home...

While I have been scrubbing around the light fixtures, I had not removed them to clean behind them. We have TR Smith Treo LEDs. I pulled out the fixture and the trim ring around it. There was indeed some algae behind the 2 lights and the rings. I cleaned thoroughly and removed every bit I...

Thanks. Not sure what more I can do then. I am keeping the FC above slam level with liquid chlorine before and after work and running the swg at 85% while at work to maintain the levels. I drop it to 0% after work and I vacuum as needed and brush every inch after work and before bed. I am...

I restarted the slam as my cya wasn't as high as I expected after adding some stabilizer. I'm still getting a dusting of algea along the seams and pockets in the liner. The water remains crystal clear. I'm planning to do a deep clean of the sand filter at this point. Do I need to pick out...

No DE, the sand filter is about 7 years old with original sand. That's why I was thinking that the filter just wasn't catching all the "dead algae". Worth it to try the GLB clear blue clarifier and possibly algymicin 2000 I have lying around or would that just be a bandaid? Or add some DE...
