I'm currently in the middle of a no drain water exchange, but my subpump is pushing out water a lot faster than my hose is filling. Subpump rate is 20 gal a minute fill rate with my hose is only 6gal minute. I don't want my water level to get too low because it's going to be nearly 100 degrees...

I'm trying to do a no drain water exchange but i can't find a backwash hose long enough to attach to my subpump, i need 150ft to get to my sewer drain in the front. Is there a way to attach two 2inch backwash hoses together so they don't leak?

FC - 4 CC - 0 pH - 8 TA - 120 CH - 1075 CYA - not sure i could still fully see the black dot at 30 so this might be low? Water temp - 70 Do i need to partially drain? In Arizona so we have really hard water. Do i need to increase my CYA? I have a very hard time managing my pH i have to add MA...

I was doing a slam and my motor overheated and tripped the breaker. I turned it back on and it was making a weird noise, higher than normal sound but no grinding or whistling sound. Turned it off, checked the baskets for debris and stuck my hand in to check the impeller, which was moving fine...

My pool has this thing on the landing between the first and third step. I always thought it was exclusively a water feature but is it also an umbrella holder?

I badly neglected my pool over the winter/spring and now we're here (I've been adding MA and chlorine but not testing ugh), my numbers are bad. What do i do first? Add CYA or MA? then slam? Pool math says to add 5lbs of dry stabilizer to get my CYA to 50. FC - 0 CYA - 0 ph - over 8 TA - 120...

My suction side vacuum just died so I'm upgrading to a robot. However, my plumbing only has a two way valve, suction side port for vacuum or skimmer, if i switch to skimmer only the pump starts to pull in air bubbles. I see a vortex in the skimmer when i do this and the water level is fine. I...

My pH and TA seem to keep rising which i suspect is because my fill water is trash. Should i target my TA lower, like 60? Or will it level itself out if i just keep doing what I'm doing? We did a full drain in March so this is pretty fresh water. I already added MA twice this week because my pH...

FC - 5 pH - 8 TA - 140 CH - 425 CYA - 40 I just noticed some algae today in my spa that's attached to my pool. It's hottttt in AZ and I guess i let the FC drop too low (still on a learning curve). I've got a lot of trees near my pool so unfortunately lots of leaves and debris. I know my TA and...

I'm having some trouble testing my water for the first time. I'm using the k2006c My CH is really high, 1500. This seems right because i have extreme calcium build up, and I'm in AZ so this is a regular problem. I can't get the FAS-DPD free chlorine test to work. I did it twice with the same...

My 14 year-old-ish pool has been a bit neglected, both by us and the previous owners, and needs a facelift, which includes new tile work due to severe calcium build up (major hard water issues in AZ). We've always just taken water samples to the pool store and did whatever they told us to do...
