Hi Everyone. I'm thinking of replacing my pump this year. It's a 12 year old Hayward SP2607X10. I've replaced the guts a couple of times due to nuisance leaks, but it's coming out pretty good this year and I figured I'd take the opportunity to upgrade to something a little better. Honestly I...

I was going to hijack another thread but since I have several questions I thought it would be better to start a new one. I opened a very clear pool this year with a relatively thin layer of algae on the bottom, but the water was crystal clear. I vacuumed manually right away, and began...

Hi Guys, I'm using the Taylor salt test kit. On the 24th of June I tested and it was at 3,000 I tested again on the 29th and got the same result so I added a 40lb. bag which according to Poolmath would have brought me to ~3,200 ppm which is where I wanted to be. Today I tested and I'm at...

I am still using my DPD powder from my original kit which isn't 18 months old yet. I recently ordered another one along with another bottle R-0871 because I had to do a slam and used up quite a bit of both of those. Anyway, the new powder is pretty much white while my older powder is light...

I just did my OFCLT and it looks like I need to slam. My water is crystal clear, but I noticed a couple of Algae spots and also that my FC numbers seemed to be a little lower than they should. At first I thought my CYA was off and I was losing the FC to sunlight. The CYA was off, so I...

I've noticed that if I leave my completed test sitting for a bit that eventually it will have a pinkish hue. So I do the cc test and the water doesn't change color...not immediately, but after several minutes it will. Is this normal, should I be waiting before recording my results?

I wasn't sure if I should piggy back on someone else's thread or start a new one. I have a Hayward DE3620. My typical pressure over the last two years (age of the pool and equipment) been been between 12psi and 16psi, 16 being when I backwash and recharge with 80% of DE required. This year...

Here are my numbers: FC - 5 CC - 0 CH - 75 TA - 50 PH - 7.5 CYA - 60 Salt - 3000 Should I be doing anything? My TA is a little low, so I guess I can bump that up a bit, but should I be adding any bleach or anything? I thought the numbers looked pretty good overall. Thanks, Brian

Hi Guys, I have this line of dirt in my pool that appears and reappears with great regularity. I'll vacuum it up or the robot will pick it up and a day or two later it's there again. It's located in the shallow end of the pool just before the slope begins and just before a seam in the liner...

Hi, my name's Brian and I'm a poolaholic! Just kidding. Anyway, new the forum. I grew up with an IG pool as a kid. My wife and I decided last year to install our own IG pool. I wish I had thought to check on line for opinions and what not before hand, but that said I only have a couple of...
