Long story short. I need someone who understands clack valve water softeners. I have done all the troubleshooting and replaced parts and changed settings. I will go into more details as needed. The issue is the unit is putting too much water back into brine tank during refill stage of regen. I...

1. Can I put a mini fridge under an enclosed bar? 2. What if I put vents in front and back?

It’s only around where liner goes into groove. On 1 side of pool- East side. Side that gets most sun.

I have a “spot” that is very small on the top step of my stairs. We have the concrete steps that run the entire width of the pool. On top step is a spot about the size of a spec of sand. It’s rough to touch and I can’t tell if it’s all way through liner or if it’s just a “spot”. Should I be...

Yet pool has never been tested at a level of higher than .1 ppm of iron. Where does it go?

I have never messed with it, but I think I want to. It’s Hayward Tri Star VS. pump with speeds of 600rpm-3450rpm. I don’t know if I should run it 24/7 at a constant speed or if I should change it. I also can change my Prime duration. It’s currently at 2:30. Final point is I have SWG that is...

Taylor test kit says 3600. My SWG stops generating at 2700ppm. I don’t want to get my salt level too high, but I don’t want to risk SWG not generating if it slips any lower. Cell is 3 years old and recently cleaned.

Same issue here. Tried water hose trick and lubed o ring. Hayward Tristar VS 900. Definitely worse on slower speeds than higher. Also, sometimes after backwash it goes away then will get worse as day goes on.

Some back ground. I have 2 40 gallon water heaters. I have removed anode rods from both. 3 years old. Started smelling sulfur smell from hot water only about year ago. I can drain and flush and smell goes away for about 6 -8 weeks. Gets really worse if we are gone for vacation and water gets...

Pump is off and it is reading 18 psi. When on it reads 27 psi. When priming it reads 40 psi. Never really changes much while running.

Day 7 of SLAM. Have been keeping FC up to SLAM level of 18 and doing OCLT about every day. I have been losing anywhere from 2-5 ppm overnight. 2 nights ago I went from 21 at 930pm to 16 at 6:00. I was frustrated so I left it at 16. Came home from work after being gone all day and at 5:00pm it...

Am having issues passing OCLT and got to thinking. I’m down to only a couple of places algae could be hiding. I have built in steps- ladder in the wall of deepend that I have no idea how to remove or get behind. I have not removed the skimmer plate that goes around skimmer opening, and I have...

Low iron (less than 1 ppm) in pool and in fill source- well. My issue is that the water does have rust residue issues. If I fill into skimmer with a sock it will turn sock orange. I can then rinse that sock and the rust color comes out. Should I be using any chems? Also been using the Hayward...

Anyone ever find algae in pipe behind return jets? It’s black in there but may just be dirt. Also can you get algae behind the nicheless Hayward ColorLogic lights?

1. How the heck do I access the light housing? There is no screw. Just some tabs . 2. I believe this is a nicheless light. Can algae get behind the light? I’m in middle of a slam.

Brand new Dolphin M400. It will climb the wall where it’s slanted then it will just spin and not go up the vertical wall.

My cold water is soft but my hot water is hard. I have flushed my water heater and drained it and filled it back up with cold soft water. I immediately tested it coming out of kitchen faucet and it tests hard again…about 50ppm of Hardness. I’m perplexed. I have a water softener hooked up before...

I am on a well. Use a water softener. Smelly hot water, not cold water. I have cut out the anode rods-didn’t fix it. I have drained and flushed with peroxide. Fixes it for about 2 weeks. I have cranked thermostat up to 140 degrees for about 2 hours then back to 125. That fixed it for about a...

I know there is a lot of threads on this already and I have read through alot of them. I apologize in advance for not taking the time to sort through them all. If someone wants to point me to the best ones or ones appropriate for my questions, I appreciate it. Or if someone wants to summarize...

Some times my pump basket has water filled in it that it looks like there isn't any water in there at all. Other ties there is n air pocket (gap) between the top of the basket and the lid. Other times there are big air ripples/waves in the basket. I have inspected the gasket/rubber tube...

Do these need to be cleaned out ever or chemically treated? I backwash and rinse, but have never done anything more than that.

I’m tired of the chemical circus and am ready to get into a weekly regimen. My buddy swears on the API Pepper, Revive, Enzyme Pro program. When my water is clear and algae free I struggle with keeping CYA up TA down (150)and I have hard water (250). I get phosphates too if I don’t treat. I...

I’m in process of SLAMing pool because I couldn’t get a FC reading after super chlorinating. I had my FC up over 25ppm. This was my pool 24 hours later. Dead Algae?
