Long story short, I have a suction side air leak. I am not very mechanically inclined although I have done plumbing and pool pressure side work (replace sand). Here are the pics. I have a Pentair Superflo VS. You can see the bubble, that is at 1300rpm's. It gets worse at 1700 rpm's and very...

I have mentioned that there are 2 other pool owners on our street. Well I talked with both families this weekend and they have both agreed to let me teach them the TFP methods. I will also get them to the Pool Math and Pool School but I will be holding their hands through the SLAM! I am super...

So, last year as some may know was my first ever year of taking over our Pool and SLAM took us to GLAM and it was amazing! What I did to help me out was to set up an excel sheet for my SLAM record keeping. I found then and again this year that it really does help me to see and double check that...

I simply followed the directions on the bottle of a product called Metal Out (drop pH down and chlorine to 0). Pool service had used it in previous years for a couple of spots we had. Our pool is 13k gallons, directions say 1 quart for every 10k gallons, I have 2 quarts, only used 1. Figured...

Went out this morning and found my water level was about 4" low overnight :brickwall: I noticed a few days ago there was water sitting where my selector rests for the varying choices and thought.. uh ohh, I bet my past abuses of not turning my handle in the same direction over the last 3...

Hey gang, Been cruising your site most of the spring, getting our pool opened this year has been 1 thing after the other to the point that if I don't laugh I will probably just pull the cover back over it and wait to try again next year. Thing is, I too came to the light that this is all about...
