Never had a VS pump before so totally new to this. Got a new Jandy FloPro 1.85 and I’m having a difficult time figuring out what settings to run it on, and how long. I just got finished with my slam, so I am ready to set the timers. My initial thought was run it overnight on a medium speed for...

I am replacing my pool pump and getting a Jandy 1.75 variable speed. My current one is this one…(photos attached). I guess my question is, will the Jandy pump work ok to replace my current one? They said that my current piping and everything would work, but this is an expensive pump and they...

I currently have this pump (or motor??) that started going bad last summer (pics attached). I know nothing about what I need, but I have been reading about variable speed pumps. My electric bills do get quite high in the summer while using this one, even though I only run it about 10 hours per...

So, I lost about 2 inches over a 24 hour period. About 12 hours pump running, and about 12 hours not. Went out to check and found some water leaking out of one of the pipes. We tightened that and stopped the leak and I thought all was good. Refilled back to about mid-skimmer and made a mark...

Here are my numbers from today: FC-5.5 CC-0 PH-7.4 TA-120 CH-50 CYA-50 My PH and TA are rising. Is there anything I need to do right now to correct this?

Good morning everyone! Opened our pool yesterday. Looks pretty good. Water is a bit cloudy. Just wondering if I should SLAM or not, as I forgot what I did last year. I know I need to add stabilizer. Should I do that before SLAM, if I need to SLAM? Here are my current readings: FC-5 CC-0 CH-50...

Every time I go to Walmart, they are almost out. Went tonight and they are COMPLETELY out and said they don’t know when they will get more. I had to buy regular Clorox bleach. Not the concentrated stuff…just regular bleach. Will that be ok?? Any suggestions of where else to try? I do have some...

I have a Hayward S244T sand filter with a Hayward multiport FPX0710. I replaced the laterals and entire assembly and put new sand in about a week after I opened the pool. When I vacuumed before replacing the laterals and sand, there was some sand coming through the returns. Now, when I vacuum...

I know I’ll need to add chlorine. How long should I let it filter before I test my chemical levels?

I opened my pool last week, and since I’ve been getting my chemicals right, I’ve been basically running my pump 24x7. Also due to the enormous amount of pollen we have been having that sits on top of my water. I started using a skimmer sock last week that helped with the pollen tremendously...

Ok. My FC was 10.5 yesterday evening. Right now it is 7. I added more CYA this morning, so maybe not enough time for that to kick in. So here’s my question. For my current CYA level (I adjusted it to be 40 this morning) the chart says to keep FC between 6-8. Great, I’m at 7. I guess where I’m...

Today was our very first day of using our pool 😊 We have had a great day, but a huge thunderstorm rolled in about an hour ago. Heavy rain, lots of wind. What should I be doing chemistry-wise when it’s over? All of my levels were good this morning. Should I re-check after the storm and adjust...

Moved from HERE Hi everyone! Just got home from work…and the pool is full of sand 😫😫😫 I think it’s coming out of the jet things (I’m not sure if the official term). Should I turn the pump and filter off?!? Or just try to vacuum it out?

Hello everyone. I bought a house last fall that just so happens to have come with a pool 🤪. I’ve never had a pool, so I am a complete newbie to everything. I am very slowly learning (or trying to) and just rolled off the cover to the pool on Friday. I thought I’d be smart and have a guy from our...
