I haven’t stayed on top of the pool chemistry like I should have been. Tested the water today and got these results. Which issue is best to tackle first? FC .5 PH 8.2 TA 130 CH 400 CYA 25 The pool is about 25k gals with white plaster and liquid chlorinated.

Hello all, I have a jandy 2.0 SHPF 2-speed pump that started tripping the breaker on high speed. It ran for several hours yesterday on low speed but instantly shut off when switched to high. I did notice the motor was fairly hot to touch. Today, it will run on low speed but takes an...

Apparently I let my water get out of hand this winter. I tested the other day and came up with: FC 1.0 PH 8.2 TA 140 CH 550 CYA 50 Not surprising, I now have some scaling at the water line. Since then, I've gotten the PH and FC in check. I'm working on the TA with acid and aeration, but I'm...

On 07/09 I got the following results after testing: FC 17.5 (FC was high to deal with the lack of a working pump) TC 0 TA 110 CH 290 CYA 80 PH 7.5 Tested today: FC 7.0 TC 0 TA 90 CH 330 CYA 80 PH 7.8 Should I be concerned about the rise in CH and fall of the TA? I haven't added...

My pump was not working for two weeks while I waited for a warranty repair. I was able to keep the FC at or above 7 (CYA of 80) and the water stayed clear for about the first week. After that, the water began to turn green. I upped the FC to well above 10 and the green never really got worse...

After getting my water dialed in with the TFP method, the equipment on my less than a year old pool has an electrical issue. Admittedly, I'm not the most electrical savvy, but this is what's going on: Came home two days ago during the time the filter pump is set to run and found it to be off...

FC 11.5 CC 0 TA 110 CH 290 CYA 80 PH 7.6 Since I have gotten the pool cleared up and looking good with the TFP method, I have been testing everyday to find out how much chlorine the pool needs every day. Eventually, I want to add an automated chlorine system to the pool. I tested...

I have a Jandy 580 CV cartridge filter and recently plumbed a valve in place of the solid drain cap at the bottom of the filter. Would opening this valve while the pump is running "backwash" the filters?

Hello, Like most people, a problem with the pool brought me to this site. The pool is less than a year old and I find myself battling an algae problem. A couple of days ago I found some yellow/green spots on the walls/steps. They went away with some brushing but returned the next day. Woke...

Hello all, I recently had a pool built and am in the process of figuring out the best way to take care of it. I have been reading posts here for a little while and decided to join. I will definitely have some questions...so thanks in advance!
