Help ! I have managed to break both sides off of my ball valve handle. Not having any luck finding replacement handle only. It is not the typical screw on type of handle. I have attached pics below for reference. Handle is for a 1 1/2 compact ball valve. Thanks

Installed the SI45+ system last summer and have had no issues until recently. The default reading on the panel is the salinity reading. Usually the reading is in the 2900-3400 range, which is where my system seems to run best. The current reading is 3.6. I have toggled the super chlor switch...

I have the Circupool si-45+ and when I fired it up for the first time this year it ran for a few minutes and immediately went into a low salt, check cell mode. My water temp here in Louisville is only about 61 degrees according to the Circupool readout. This unit continously shows the salinity...

I am in the process of installing a new SWG that I just purchased and have a couple of questions about the combination of two speed motors and SWG's. I currently have the Hayward super pump spx2610x15 pump and motor setup. Motor is a 1.5 hp 56j frame 115v setup. I would like to swap it out for...

I am wanting to replace the sand in my Hayward st244 filter. Am I able to keep the pump running with the filter in the recirculate position while I am draining the water out of the filter? I am assuming the filter is completely bypassed with the multi-port in this setting. Correct? Want to keep...

I am trying to figure out the amount of CYA that is in a aqua chem tablet. the label says 99% trichloro, so im am curious as to the amount of CYA these contain. Anybody want to take a shot? Tried to find chemical content data online, but no luck. I opened with a low CYA level, and will be away...

Ok, I know that it was on here somewhere. I am trying to figure out how much CYA a 3" tab will add to a pool. Had to add a large amount of water to the pool due to a leak issue. I have some tabs lying around here and I am looking to use these to raise CYA and I am getting ready to go on...

I have been using the Tundra brand bleach sold at Aldi for my sanitizer this season. It is the 6% type. I was curious to know if anyone else that was using this brand noticed any issues with p.h. rise when using this product. I have had to bring my pool down from the 7.8- 8.0 range about three...

How long should it take for a p.h. change to show up after adding muratic acid? I used the liquid type, added it to a couple gallons of water, and broadcast at deep end returns. I used 16ozs ,as I was only looking for a .3 reduction.

Just curious what the thoughts are on using this product for cleaning up around the pool at startup. I have been using this for a couple of years upon opening to clean the vinyl above the waterline and to clean the fiberglass steps and slide. I have seen no ill effects from usage, just curious...

I have a large tub of power powder plus that I purchased at the end of last season. Would I be doing any damage if I used this along with my 6% liquid in maint. doses just to use it up? The label says 73% cal- hypo 23% other ingredients. Would it be better to just not use it at all?

Just wondering what you guys think is a safe time frame to allow swimming after adding bleach to pool. I pour the bleach slowly over a return in the deep end. It has a strong output flow and the bleach appears to dissipate rapidly into the pool. I am wanting to add 2 gallons of 6%, but company...

I am just curious if anyone in the Louisville, KY area has used any of the companies that offer ultrasonic pool leak testing. I am looking at potential costs, reliability,etc. There are a few in the local yellow pages, but several calls to an answering machine of one company with no call back...

I am curious what products can be used to raise CYA levels. I have seen a lot of threads concerning this, but have yet to see any products by name. I live in the Louisville, KY area and my pool gets full sun all day. What CYA level should I be shooting for? Vinyl liner pool.

Here is the scenario that I just went through. When I removed my mesh cover off of my pool a few weeks ago to start the season the pool was full to the top of the skimmer. After pumping the debris on the bottom of the pool to waste I proceeded to go ahead and put the multi-port in the...
