All, I've had issues all season, probably longer and never really paid attention to it prior because it just wasn't a big enough problem...well now it is. 2 issues, which may or may not be related - a) Booster pump leaking at the outlet end b) air leak somewhere I would assume suction side...

So as the title says, I opened the pool this year and noticed some of the finish (pebbles) on my feet as I walked in the ledge. As I started brushing the surface of the pool and got over to the ledge, large amounts of "finish" started coming up...so I then vacuumed it all up and now have quite a...

SWG Gurus....I've searched and read. First I addressed the cell which had scale build up....cleaned and reset the unit to come up with the same 172 code. Next did the test on the control board both with water flowing and off...not sure if this makes a difference. Results where not consistent...

All, getting started with the SLAM and while most things seem clear...one question. How soon after X number of jugs of bleach is added do you test? I'm guessing 30 minutes or so, but would like any other opinions. 18,000 gallon in ground with Pump running at 2000 RPM.

Guys and gals...last year after pool was installed balance was pretty consistent with the exception of PH which climbed like crazy every other day or so. This year had to have pool drained and acid washed (long story but was planned with PB), and had fresh water dumped in. I've spent a couple...

Went POP! And then started rattling and lost suction (water moving). Any thoughts?

So I'm opening the pool (early, another story) and while I've never opened the pool (new install last year) found some videos and read the basics and all seemed good. Pulled plugs from returns and skimmers, installed plugs (2) in pump and replaced handles on 2 valves (not sure why they only...

Guys, running Aquapure 1400 with Jandy E-Pump @ 1750RPM for 4 hours a day (0630 - 1030). According to the Jandy calculator this is enough for one turnover per day. I'm running at 60% on the Aquapure controller, and my salinity is at 3.2. So when I test after the 4 hour run time (today tested...

So pool is 40 days old, I'm heading on vacation this's weekend and need to keep PH in check while I'm away. It will rise from 7.5 to 8+ in a couple of days if MA isn't added daily. What can I do to keep it somewhat stable while away and second how long before the PH balances itself out....at...

Just turned on today, everything seems straight forward except one thing PB stated, he said to shock the pool every 2 weeks.....he said to do this with the Aquapure (has a button to slam) and it runs at 100% for 24 hours. Read pool school and quickly searched forum and didn't see anything on...

So skimmers work, suction is really good when I turn down/off main drain, but pool surface is still full of stuff. Weir doors stay open and don't seem to close or lift even a little. They move freely as I can push them up and there is no restriction. Also I know the suction works great as it...

Ok, so just filled with 21k gallons yesterday (sourced from pool water company who uses city water to fill). Added startup bottle off Jacks Magic yesterday right after filling per PB instructions. Have brushed pool 3 times already, pool equipment not being turned on until tomorrow (can't turn...

Tried searching but too many posts returned with salt in topic. PB is getting ready to plaster (CLI Industries Black Pearl) and they told me we have to wait 30 days before turning SWG on, is this right/normal? What's the purpose for waiting? I wasn't at home when PB discussed with my wife so...

So, we've had quite a bit of rain recently and I noticed a good amount of water/mud leaking in around the pool light housing on the deep end...mind you the finish has not been installed, nor has the backfilling around the trench of the pool plumbing. Guess my question is "Is this leaking around...

So, after lots of questions and hanging out here...throw in the obligatory delays and today was day 1 of our build....and boy was it an eventful day. Shot of the backyard prior to the dig.....you can see the flags marking the outline of the pool. Well, about 90 minutes into the dig and...

So my pool is still in building stages, heck I don't even have the permit yet....but in the meantime I got the kit and decided to practice and get familiar with it on our Intex "kiddie" pool which is 1000 gallons...you know the blue inflatable ring type. FC - .5 CC - .5 CYA - 55 PH - 6.8 TA - 0...

So we are under contract for pool and we are going over final layouts and such and equipment location has come up. I want it on side of house, however pool will be ~100 linear feet away.....would this be too far for pump and heater? PB wants the equipment near pool, and I could landscape around...

OK folks.....I've been here reading like a mad man for several weeks.....and we've just (like 2 hours ago) signed our contract for a 650sqft, 21k gallon, gunite pool. Questions are already mounting as I now want to bounce some info off of you good folks and get your thoughts. Everything at the...
