Any one have any experience replacing the flow switch on a circupool RJ45+. I had an incident with neighbors dogs got inside my fence next to pool pad and caught the wire from the switch and broke it. Of course wire broke right next to switch so not enough wire to splice it back together. Just...

I got a Dolphin Atlantis second hand. It came with filter bag and I switched it to the filter plates. I take it apart and rinse the filter plates after every use. How often do I need to replace the filter plates with new ones.

Just installed my circupool RJ45+. I have a stupid question. I have it set on 50% output. Does that mean it generates 50% of time it is on. I had it on noticed it showed about -4.8 amps to cell with foggy water in the cell, and a while later looked everything was on pump was running but...

I have been having trouble with my sand filter. Seeing a lot of dirt in the pool. I opened the filter to do a deep clean and noticed it was less than half full of sand. Rubbed some of the dirt that was on my steps and it was sand. So pretty sure I have a broken lateral. Also when I moved in 3...

Moved into my house with an inground pool 3 years ago. I Knew nothing about pools thankfully found TFP and got rid of all the chemicals previous owner left and weekly trips to pool store. Last year I changed out the pump with a Pentair VS Superflo. I started to notice a lot of dirt on the bottom...

I am getting ready to change out my old Hayward single speed Superpump for a Pentair Superflo VS and am thinking of redoing my pad plumbing. The picture shows my current arraignment. The pump is between a fence and the filter making it tough to reach the VS controls. Current plumbing from left...

Looking to upgrade my 2HP Hayward super pump. My plan is to replace the motor with a Century V-Green 1.65 HP VS motor. I plan on ordering the replacement shaft seals and gasket. Since I am going down in HP I will get the impeller Hayward uses on its VS pumps. Also plan to order the VLink...

Just got a used dolphin Atlantis from someone who filled in their pool. I put it in my pool and I am amazed how well it cleaned. No more suction side manual vac for me. I do have a couple of questions. This model has the bag filter. After it was done I rinsed out the bag do I just set it out to...

Decided it’s time to change my old 2 hp single speed pump. I bought the house last August it and pool were built 1992. The pump looks like a Hayward but the original owner switched the motor to some commercial pump motor that is an energy hog. So I decided for fun to go to the pool store to get...

I inherited a Polaris 360 when I bought the house last year. I am finally ready to attempt to use it. I have a few questions. My pool has two jets do I need to restrict one and use the other for the Polaris? Does it matter which jet I use I have one in the deep end one in the shallow end? To...

I went to brush my pool last night. I notice stuff on the floor but also some on the sides of my steps and walls. I ran my hand over it. It came right off didn’t feel gritty or slimy. I adjust FC to 8 each night. CYA of 50. Yesterday was cloudy so FC was 6.5. Added some LC according to pool math...

I tested my pool like normal last night got FC of 5.5 CC 0.5. Ph 7.6 for reference my CYA is 50. A storm blew up and I didn’t get to add LC last night so I decided to do it early this morning. So of course I can’t add LC without testing. Pulled my sample this morning set up my speed stir and...

Started doing BBB this week. I want to make sure I am doing ok with it. Last Saturday got my TF100 and have tested everyday for a week. I know a bit excessive but I want to see what is happening and get a feel for how my pool respond to conditions. It seems the sun eats about 3.5 ppm FC per day...
