So short version, i got a leak in some plumbing from filter to pvc, I ordered a new piece, it took a week to get here, I turned the timer/pump/swg off with my cutoff switch. When I got everything replaced, went to turn it on to test and nothing turns on. If I keep rotating the timer over and...

I moved into a place and have estimated the pool gallons to be about 12-13,000. But I could not get my salt level raised this year anywhere close to where it should be without mass amounts of salt. I'm finally at about 3400ppm. I added 200 lbs yesterday when I was at 2780ppm. Doesn't that...

Long story short i had to cut the end off my plug so i could put a new cap on. Well that's all great now. However the sheaths came off the cable end of the plug, so i don't know the wire order. Hoping maybe some kind soul out there knows or can look on theirs? It will be difficult because...

Anyone have any suggestions for a broken sj series cap? Long story short was out of town for an extended period and it broke during winter. The cell is only a year and a half old for 20k gallon pool and using the 40 so really hate to drop 500 because the stupid plastic cap broke.... It's the...

So I thought for awhile I've had my water pretty well balanced, my pool's been sitting around 66-70, but the last week it's warmed up a bit now at about 76 when testing today. Salt ppm may have gone done and TA and CH maybe up, so wondering if these numbers look ok after a week of basically not...

Just installed an SWG, I have refilled 70% of my pool and let the pump run most of the time to just keep circulation going. I have at this point only added salt which is now at 3500ppm. I know my FC (.5?)and PH(7.0?) are going to test low when I test it after work today. I know my CYA will be...

converting to SWCG and have really high CYA (100+) So I plan on draining about 30% of the pool, which should get me closer to 70-80. So obviously that should be the first thing to balance. I have no idea how that's going to change my other readings, but will retest after that. I have salt at...

Should, I be able to feel the suction through my skimmer basket? I generally have stuff in my basket, but I feel no resistance when pulling it out. With it out, if I put my hand near the suction I can feel some suction then, but if I put a sponge ball at the bottom of my basket it will not...

Not sure if this would be better in the pumping forum or not, but hopefully this is a good start. Replacing a pump that died with Pentair 342001. Once I get it installed, plan on draining a large portion of the pool and filling back up then balancing the pool and adding the Circupool SJ-40...

I would like to convert my pool to SWG. I estimate it to be about 12-15k, is the IC20 enough or should I go with the IC40? Also is this on any level a DIY? Pol guy quoted me $1700 for the IC40 and installation, I think I can get it much cheaper myself and was hoping to save money installing...

Fairly new pool owner: Pump died a few days ago, had a pool guy come out, said motor is dead (I suspected this powers on as soon as it primes it fails again) Wants $550 to fix the old pump or $500 to install the pump I was looking at (Pentair 342001). I was considering doing it myself prior...

Long story short we bought a house with a pool that was installed in 2010 last July (northern south carolina). Since it was our first pool, we had service for a little while by a company and he gave us very basics on how to measure. We bought a kit, and ditched him towards the end of the season...
