I just had the pool clear - or mostly with a little dirt from recent storms and getting cleared slowly, and another rain storm blew in this morning or last night and knocked more of these pods from the Chinese Pistache tree into the water. My readings from yesterday were: Free Chlorine: 6.5...

On the deep end of my pool, the expansion joints (I think I termed that right) are wide with some gaps. I'm in N Texas where ground settling is common. I read a few other posts, but want to be sure how or if to fix these. I believe this would require removing the old foam, replacing and then...

I replaced my old heater in 2022 after the big freeze of 2021, and the unit was showing a very slight leak from the front corner from day 1. I took photos and asked the installer to check it out, which he came back with there was no leak from the unit, and it had to be from the other equipment...

After the freeze this year I inspected the heater before lighting it back up and saw the bottom section pretty rusted out. I contacted my home warranty to check into repair, in hopes it could be fixed. The technician took pics and then said it was installed incorrectly, that a check valve was...

I'm looking at getting a second set of filters for my C-4025, so I can quickly swap them out and get the pool back running, then clean the dirty ones in TSP/detergent, dry and store. I've searched around for any recommendations on storing the filters, and only see a few posts of people trying...

Moved from: Featured - Freezing Weather - Broken connection Thanks for the post - I hadn't thought of draining the water feature/fall - I'm right down the road from you ChristiK - in McKinney. I left it on all last winter, but maybe I need to drain it this winter. Been scooping leaves non-stop...

My Dolphin is overwhelmed by the sudden mass of leaves (windy here) and keeps getting jammed right in the debris inlet - mainly packed in the cloth flaps. It does not look like the flap can be removed. It seems to be working fine, but just gets too many leaves at once in the opening and plugs...

When I first got my new house, we tried to figure out the spa, and decided it was only meant to give us warm water, not really like a jacuzzi. Fast forward to April when we had some hot days here in TX and I turned on the heater and spa. My little on screamed with joy at the bubbly water as I...

Hi all - appreciate the help so far on my inherited pool. I'm doing well with the Pool Math and SLAM process but seem to be endlessly fighting the trees in my yard. Lately it's been the pollen and flower like petals from one tree. Last few weeks was the other tree, but the green pods floated...

I've been managing my pool chem thanks to TFP & a SLAM, but am not sure my filter is cleaning out the dead algae and dirt very well. Just moved here last Fall, so I have no idea how old the filters are. They look fairly clean to me, but I am unable to remove them, so would love to hear from...

My first water test at the Pool Store nearby on 10/29 showed: FC - 0.05 TC - 0.05 pH - 7.9 Hardness - 263 Alk - 86 CYA - 80 Salt - 2800 (system reads 2400) Here's about how it looked around that time: After following their instruction, I added some Muriatic Acid (2 Cups), a bag of salt and...

Just moved into our house in early Oct, and I'm finally starting to learn how to work the automation and system using the remote and the main panel. One setting that confuses (or worries) me is the Super Chlorinator in the Timer menu. I've read the automation controller manual from Hayward on...

We've been in the home three weeks, inheriting the pool and after returning from a business trip this week, I came across the Polaris Tail stuck in the wall inlet. I tried pulling it gently out, but it does not want to budge. The cleaner has been working well the whole time until I saw this...
