Dumb question here, but there is a "Spa" button and a "Pool" button. Is there actually any difference in the operation of the buttons besides the label and the temperature I set them to? For instance, if I set them both to 102 degrees, and don't change any valve lineups, will hitting each...

I'm about to switch over from an old Jandy single speed filter pump to a newer Hayward VSP pump. With the single speeds, I know to prime them that I fill the pump basket with water and hit the button. On my every day basis, the pump is on a timer to kick on at 10 am, and have never had an...

Last summer, I hooked up 2 cheap flower fountains on my returns and ran them for a period every night. They worked amazing at cooling off the pool. Problem is, I cannot remember what hours I ran the dang things, and now can't seem to dial in the best time for cooling. What do ya'll do?

This plug is located in my deep end of the pool, below the spillover spa, about a foot under water. Any thoughts on what treasures might lie behind this thing? Bonus, what do you think this open ended pipe is? Located next to my filter pump return piping (which goes to both pool and spa)...

My pump finally crapped out on me. It's got to be atleast ten years old. I'm pretty sure it would cost more to repair it than it would to just buy a replacement. Started smelling a burned smell and the pump makes a loud noise before shutting off. I did get lucky, my pond has the exact same...

Fired up my heat pump for the first time in 6 months. Before that I had to replace the digital control screen bc the sun burned it out. Anyway, it worked like a charm. Heated up the spa faster than I’ve ever seen, 71-101 degrees in 5 hours. That’s when the problem started. It wouldn’t maintain...

The previous owner of my house, who also built my pool, told me that when he built the pool, he ran pipes to the spa but never hooked them up. That is the gray pipe in the picture, and I assume the other end is the gray piece next to the eyeball in the spa. There are several of these in the...

I'm pretty sure these spots are new. White spots on my tanning ledge. I started following TFP about 2 weeks ago, so this could be due to anything in the past when I had the pool store taking care of things. When I started TFP, my CH was only at 175, I've got it raised now to about 300...

Hey all! Finally got my TF100 in and ran my first test. Results are: pH 7.5 FC .5 CYA 20-30 TA 80 CH 175 Attempted to do a Chlorine drop test but the FC was so low that it never turned pink. pH was done on a meter and the visual test. The pool has been on tablet use until last week...

Hello all. I've been a pool owner for about a year, doing the traditional method of having the local store test my chemicals, making some of my own adjustments, and so forth. I've been reading this forum for some time and I like what I'm reading, especially the part about Me being in control...
