So i have been having issues with my M400 since i opened this year (running 20 minutes and stopping, running for 6 hours). Took it in for evaluation once and after a week they found nothing and said it behaved totally normally. Since then i have been still having the same issues. Last week it...

Any idea what could be causing this? Just 4.5 hours straight! Is this bad?

I just opened my pool in North Jersey today and put in my M400 after having the leaves vacummed out. I turned it on 3 times and it only ran for about 20 minutes every time. I know its supposed to take an hour and a half. I can't find any actual instructions regarding the control panel. If i...

My ph was reading 8. 2 or higher. I added 4 lbs of the ph down to the and got it to 7.6 a week later it's up to 8.2 to I added a quart or so of muriatic acid (the concentrated stuff) and was down to 7.4 or 7.6. A week later and AGAIN its at 8.2 it higher. All I add is liquid chlorine. Haven't...

So I just ran the numbers and i am spending at least $500 a summer on my liquid chlorine (4 a gallon at Lowe's and about 100 days and 2.5 gallons or so every 2 days). Im thinking about getting either a swcg or automatic chlorinator, both of which should significantly reduce my cost. I am pretty...

Moved from here. I need to add about 10 lbs of CYA (im at 0). Would i just pour it all in skimmer slowly and then let it run straight for a few days? Or can i let pump go off at night?

We are living in our house 2 years and before we moved in we had the pool inspected by a local company (Preferred Pool Inspections). The report said it is in good shape with some plaster fading away but coping all good shape. Only significant recommendation was to repair the sealant between the...

My pool guy (who i use just for opening and closing) said i do not. I keep an eye on the pressure all summer and it is always between 15 and 20. Assuming it stays there is there any reason to backwash?

So over the winter i had to drain my pool down twice (between closing and the 2 drainings, as well as the vacuum of leaves probably took out close to 4 feet). As a result my chlorine is flying out and my CYA test filled up the cylinder today and was still showing a visible black dot. I assume i...

So last year and this year when i open my pool i pay the pool guy to vacuum the leaves that build up on the bottom.This year it cost me $220. Last year was about the same. I can't just use my dolphin, but i figure i can definitely do this on my own and buy something that will pay for itself in...

Last year when we opened the pool there was a ton of leaves in the pool. I see them in there again now. Is this normal? Or do. I need a new one? It looks sealed Tight so not sure where they get in from

Having 12 adults and 12 kids ranging from 1 to 9 today. Do I add chlorine as usually or add extra?

COuldn't find this anywhere - anyone have thoughts on going swimming in my own pool when I have a cold? Whole family has been fighting off a cold, but chlorine levels are all good in pool. Gonna be close to 90 today and we really want to get some use in before the end of the season. Obviously...

So the pool in the home we bought does not have a handrail by the steps to the shallow or into the spa. It is difficult for little kids and older family members to get in, so i would like to have a handrail installed. Anyone here know of a company or builder that can do this? Thanks!

I did an overnight free chlorine test. Was about 8.5 last night and 7.5 this am, however it rained pretty heavily overnight. pool is and was crystal clear. Can i assume this is a pass and likely impacted by the rain and retest again when no rain? Also, i am going away for 2 days. should i...

Long story short my pool (in new house) turned bright green. I had a pool company come to service it as i had no time to deal with it while moving in. They had to rebuild my filter since it apparently cracked (claimed because it was so dirty), and the skimmer lines are clogged up, running only...

Not sure exactly why, but I cam to pool today and the pressure was basically zero. There was very little water coming through the pipes. Normally I see a huge flow going through the filter in the picture below. Not the first time this has happened. Don't know if it's to do with needing to clean...

So we closed on a house 3 weeks ago and I imagine I am doing a lot of somethings wrong here. Pool is 20x40 with a spa. Previous owner maintained the pool himself and it was always beautiful. I have been adding 4 chlorine tablets to the skimmers each week (2 in shallow, 2 in deep) as per prior...

Hi all, i've been browsing the site the last couple days and am still completely confused on what i need. I am closing on a house at the end of May, there is a 40x20 pool in the back with a built in (raised) spa in the corner of the shallow. Current owner has a 2 year old polaris F9550. He...
