I have all a Pentair skimmer box. The weir door has two plastic tabs that are inserted into the two small holes in the skimmer box, allowing it to move fluidly. Well one of the tabs broke off my weir door and is stuck inside the skimmer box so the door won't stay in place. I bought a new weir...

I have had a Pentiar Rebel vacuum (Automatic type that connects to the sidewall of the pool) for about 5 years and have been very happy with the job it does. I could go a month without sweeping the pool and you would never know because it picked up everything. I recently bought new tires for...

I feel that my water level is a little too high. I read in here that the idea over should be halfway up the skimmer box and or tile. Mine is towards the top of both. When I try to adjust the filler by pushing the plastic box down it stops filling with water and therefore gets the water level to...

I have some areas in my pool that have some metal staining. I am also going to do a full drain soon due to very high calcium in the water (I have never drained in the 5 years I have had the pool). My question is, can I drain it and dissolve some AA in a spray bottle and spray the areas, then...

I will be draining my pool for the first time. I read the draining section on the Wiki on here and based on what was available to purchase I was leaning towards the Superior Pump. https://www.amazon.com/Superior-Pump-91250-Thermoplastic-Submersible/dp/B000X05G1A/ref=sr_1_1?th=1 My question is...

I am having an issue with my spa. The pool is running just fine, but when I turn on my spa (via the Pentair app) it is not working properly. The water level in the spa will go down, I get some water coming out of the jets but it is very weak, and I am getting a clicking sound every other...

I’ve been having a small amount of yellow algae pop up here and there the past few weeks. In the shaded areas. I brush and it goes away easily. So I figured the best solution is a slam to kill it off. I have been having a tough time maintaining my FC levels. They have been dropping down to about...

So I was pretty convinced that I had iron stains. They were yellowish and I did the vitamin c test and they came right off. I just lowered my ph to around 7.2. The fc levels were around 2. I know they Should be 0 but because of my Salt cell it kept making it. I poured in some 100% absorbic acid...

Hi, I have a couple of different stains in the pool. One is from the return jets, I don't know if this is from the SWG pumping out too much chlorine or just scaling. I also think I have calcium scaling on the steps of the pool and some of the sides. It is slightly yellowish in some areas and...

I have a Pentair Rebel vacuum on an all Pentair setup that is only a little over a year old. Currently the vacuum will go about a foot, then turn left and do donuts. It will eventually go straight again but only for about a foot before it turns left and does more circles. I have put my hand...

I do not winterize or close my pool since I live in the desert but it does get cold and I know the salt cell does not produce chlorine during the winter when water temps are lower. My question is this, does anyone replace their salt cell with a pass through (or dummy) cell in the winter? I...

I am still relatively new at all this. My numbers yesterday were: FC: 0.5 PH 8.2 TA 70 CH 550 CYA 50 SALT according to the Pentair App 2250 I added almost a gallon of liquid chlorine and also later added a half gallon of muratic acid so that should get the FC and pH back in check for now. My...

I have used the Natural Chemistry liquid pool conditioner and it has helped but still need to bump up my CYA some more. I know the liquid is more $$ so is there any particular brand that is better than another? Or is it all the same? Also I have read about the sock method in the skimmer...

I am finally all up and running with all of my installation of the new pool done. I think I am a little off, but close on my chemistry. Here is what I was at last night. FC: 4 pH: 8 TA: 140 CH: 475 CYA: 50ish Salt: 3250 I have been to Leslie's where they give me bad advice like I need to...

Hi, I just had my plaster done two weeks ago on my new pool. Now the fun begins to figure out how to take care of it. I would rather not pay $125+ for a pool guy when I feel I can figure this out on my own. Any advice is appreciated. The guy who started up my pool put some liquid chlorine...
