Figured Id revisit a conversation I had on here last year. I have a 2 HP hayward pump. Its big, its old and it eats electricity like crazy. Also have a Taglus TA60D sand filter. That convo here: What is this return/control/nozzle? and filter pressure question Paid a company to do a full sand...

first time pulling my filter apart for deepcleaning and to check a possible busted lateral. Ive got the multiport pulled apart and the o-ring clamp removed. 3 parts of questions: (1) I can not get the tank separated from the valve assembly. 1. Does anyone know if it screws in to the tank? 2...

Shocking my pool, using this: HTH® Pool Care Shock Advanced which is 56% Cal-Hypo Never used it before, normally use liquid chlorine, but stores around are out :( My Ph has shot from 7.7 to 8.3 in a span of 4 days. Ive not added anything else. Anyone else seen this? Pool School app says C-H...

Had a big rain event, which led to an algae outbreak. SLAMed. That was 2 and some weeks ago. Went "blue" after about 4 days. Since then however its been various states of cloudy since. I've been dumping bleach in every night, pump running constantly. Nothing I do can clear this up. I can see my...

I have bolts on the deck for the winter cover. Should I: 1. Screw them down flush with the deck 2. Remove them and store them. Im worried if I do 1 they will rust shut and be a pain to get back out come winter. With 2 Im worried that the holes will fill with gunk and be a pain to clean out to...

Hi, new to me pool owner, with the house we bought last year. Pool who knows when it was last opened/run/etc. I didnt open it last year (we moved in mid july) and so just now getting around to it. Before that, Ive neighbors that cant think in past few years when they remember it being used. So...

Anyone know what this is? New to me pool/house. This is with a SWG (intellichlor 40) system, but also has this box and an electrode (2nd picture) on a dead end on the return side of the filter. Google cant find the company, product, EPA number, nothing. (Before anyone says, its off, and I...

On here, TA is being recommended a max of 80. Everywhere else (sites, pool vendors, etc), thats the min. Whats the logic here?
