I'm pretty sure the base of our filter has small crack and is seeping water. There are ne leaks from the fittings etc just seeping from the bottom. I don't really want to spend $600 this winter. I'd love a work around / spare part to last the winter and replace it all in spring

TFP forum is a GREAT research source for pool issues so I want to add my $0.02 I bought the house in 2017 and have maintained it myself. When I tried to get it in shape this spring I found a SWG error of HH - Meaning High Salt. Trouble is the pool leaks, so in the spring the salt level is...

Just received my reagent replacement. Been testing w tfp reagents for 7-8 years and purchase new almost every year. This year the vial of powder has dessicant and contents are snow white. Never seen that before I'm guessing it's normal just new to me

Purchased in 2017 Stopped working with an igniter error a few weeks ago. Tore it apart to take a look this weekend On the left side there is a TINY crack in the header that leaked enough to destroy the entire left side of the structure and the corrosion also ate through the igniter mechanism...

my 2017 Raypak looks just like these pictures. At approx $800- 1000 a year for pool heater plus the cost of gas I'm thinking Im insane to consider another heater .... @Pool Clown have there been improvements since 2017 ? Im in Dallas - we typically run the pool heater for about a month before...

KIK Consumer Products, owns BioLab the Louisiana chlorine plant that burned, has rebuilt +reopened the plant in Nov 22 - when will prices go down $300 for 50 lbs of tablets is nuts. I only use them in the winter and on vacations but $6-10 a pound is crazy I hope they get ramped up quick

We leave our Polaris in the water 24x7x365 and some weeks never look at it .. Can the same be done w a robot ? Yes we are lazy

When I bought the house about 7 years ago it had a Polaris 3900 I've replaced a few parts adhoc including the backup valve the wall connector, the drive unit It's running tired again and I'm looking at replacing it all for about $900 but it seems I can get the various parts for nearly half...

im looking for a button or option to delete a duplicate image from an album but cant find it the search showed me info from 6 years ago that doesn't seem to apply

As I posted before our large pool light has gone out All of the other lights go to junction boxes in the landscaping I can't find the one for the pool light. Any secrets from the experts here ? We can't justify / afford to pay a pro this year . And if we knew where the wires terminate it...

5 or 6 years ago we had the pool redone with Aquabright and we had the fiber lights replaced with Jandy color changing LEDs We have 1 large pool light and 3 niche lights in the pool and 1 in the spa The large pool light is out, one of the smaller niche lights is out and one remaining small niche...

We spent a lot to replace all the lights about 5 years ago and we have the main pool light and one of the smaller lights out. Looking for options to replace them. Do led lights not last ? Am I better off w old school lights ? Any brand recommendations ? Thanks in advance

Saw this while pump was priming ... Cloudy water exiting filter ... Looks like a cartridge has failed ....

I had a leak repair done right after the freeze. Our pool has an auto fill and an overflow. We have seen salt levels slowly decline every year. We know we had some leaks that have been repaired. I'm tracking the salt PPM to see if the rate of decline has slowed. We started right after the...

I've had quite an experience trying to get parts mostly valves for my TX pool that really only has minor damage (so far ) I've watched the prices for jandy valves double and the supply chain fail to keep up with demand. You can double check that the part is in stock before ordering but still...

Still waiting on freeze damage repair parts, so filter pump is inop. Pool is full and would like to if possible rub polaris to do some filtering / cleaning... Any downside to running boost pump and seeing if it's enough to power polaris ?

So far I can only see one check valve and PVC section that is cracked. I was an idiot and didn't drain everything when I saw the power issues. If I had known how easy it would have been to do I would have done it even though I was exhausted from hacking together a generator to keep the house...

HI Guys I've done all the maintenance on the pool so far. We have had a leak since I bought the house. I had one guy check it and he sealed the skimmer gaps. Also need to have the mastic or deck seal redone Also need the coping around the spa fixed/ replaced We had Puryear replaster and...

We have been really happy with the TFP process and have had clear water easily for years. This year I maybe checked the chemistry 5 times ? Its been really stable until it wasn't. When the temps cooled here and the SWG had to be turned off the green came out ... Even though we had some...

I have a jandy cartridge filter that has a cracked manifold which Im learning is a common issue I ordered what was supposed to be the same from Amazon but in typical amazon fashion the seller is advertising Jandy and sending CMP Do any of you have experience with the CMP manifold ? White...

I'm guessing that one of the valves is not turning all the way, an alignment issue, that's causing this ? ive attached some images of the plumbing I'm considering just ordering new valves and actuators. Ive "repaired" one of the limit switches in one of the valves already One question is do...

We had 3 fiber star towers powering a bunch of Fiber lights in our pool. We replaced most of them with LEDs. We still have many of the parts for them. If you have fiberstar lights and want some spare parts let me know I don't want to throw them away. We have removed 2 towers, the fiber...

I tested my pool 2 days ago and the chlorine was 3 parts per million in the pH was perfect. That was from the pool the water temperature was 60 degrees. Tonight I tested the spa which runs with shared pool water the spa was 100 degrees the chlorine was it 9 + parts per million and the pH was...

I replaced the SWG a few weeks back and it was running at about 60 % for about 8 hours a day Tests show about 2 ppm chlorine We had some small swimmers yesterday so I retested and added 1 gal bleach and upped the SWG to boost at 100% and added 2 pucks to help raise my CYA Also added 40 lbs of...

Hello My SWG is at least 3 or 4 years old maybe older, ive only owned the house since Dec 2015 and it didnt look brand new then. Our pool has a fountain that makes it easy to capture water as it comes off the SWG plumbing In tests today the ppm is low, 1.5 to 2 ppm, basically the same as the...

Just wanted to leave this here, I found my booster pump unresponsive and REALLY hot. I turned it off and when it cooled I checked the shaft to see if it turned. It did. The pump has a Start/run capacitor, mine had a genteq 97f9606. I hoped that was the issue and bought one from Amazon for...

HI Its warming here so I added salt to get back to 3000 ppm the water was clear before and is pretty clear now except for the pollen and spring debris. When we run the hot tub the water seems to foam. Ive not seen that before. The chemistry is pretty stable. PH hasn't changed in months...

I read that they can be DIY Im looking for a quote to have it professionally done ...

I replaced a low no heater w a atmospheric raypak heater After 3 months of very stable pH with almost no acid needed Now we have covered the pool w floating cover and heated pool from 68-72 to 85 The swg has been running at 60% for months and averages 4-5 ppm. Tonight the cl ppm was 20...
