Hello Everyone, I am trying to take out my motor for shaft seal replacement. I was able to take out the top two screws but I cant take out the bottom two screws. They seem to be almost welded together. :brickwall: I tried to do some maneuvering, but it only seems to smooth out the edges of the...

Hello Everyone, Did Walmart/Great Value kill off the standard bleach that they made? All the new bottles are 6% with a dark blue label. 6% is just rubbish. I got the last 3 bottles of 8.25% from my local Wal-Mart this weekend. Today I see none of them on shelves. :mad: - - - Updated - - - I...

Hello Everyone, I recently noticed that there is a leak from the bottom of the pump and after a little googling, i see that it mostly is the shaft seal that has gone bad. I have a Century A.O. Smith B855 pool pump. This one to be exact: Century A.O. Smith B855 56Y Square Flange 2 HP Up-Rated...

Hello All, I think i need to SLAM my pool, the chlorine in the water just wouldn't stay. Poured three gallons yesterday. And now its down to 0.5. In just over 28 hours. And this time i think its mustard algae. I blame the recent duck infestation, i think they pooped on my pool and made it full...

Hello Everyone, I was trying to replace all of my old eyeball fittings. I was able to replace only one. All the others are pretty much jammed in. Any tips on how to remove them? Looked up youtube and all but could not find much info on this.

Hello All, Can you check this photo and let me know what time my pump would turn on. Normally i adjust the left dial, the right one i guess is for the second smaller pump that i have (which i have no clue what its for)! I want it to run from 11:00 to 15:00. But i woke up at 7:30 today and...

Hello All, I cleaned my filter, and noticed what everyone here confirmed (January), one of my filter grids has three small tears. At least that is what i can see. There maybe more on the inside. But not sure. So just wanted to know, that can i change just one grid or do i have to buy a whole...

Hello Everyone, Today i tested the pool water. My TA has dropped to 70. Over the course of the year, this this is the first time TA has dropped below 90. I try to keep it around 100. What are the reasons for the drop in TA? Is it some sort of a warning sign? Or am i overthinking it and its normal?

Hi Everyone, I had a question. My house is right beside a park with big trees. Everyday the pool is loaded with a ton of leaves, seeds, pollen etc. I have almost given up hope that my pool with ever be thoroughly "clean". Just wanted to know if something like this would help? Pentair Bermuda...

Hello Everyone, Over the past month, my pool chemistry has been too constant. Mild drop in chlorine is all that I have to now. I lowered my pH today after about 1.5 months. Is it a good thing? Or is it just because it's winter (although this year's Texas winter was hopeless)? When I look back...

Hello All, I recently went on a vacation, about 1.5 months. After i came back the pool was fine chlorine-wise. But my pump is making a loud noise when it turns on. It is loud and annoying. I just hope my neighbors don't complain!! I did not run the pump yesterday. But i had to turn it on today...

Hello Everyone, About 1.5-2 months ago, I dropped my CYA to 70 from about 110. There were heavy rains for three days straight over here, and I tested my water yesterday, expecting to see a lower CYA, but no, my CYA is now 100. I am a little lost about how the CYA went up. Bad testing? The...

Hello All, Recently i changed my DE powder in the pool. Now the problem is, my pool is loaded with DE media now. The bottom surface is full of it. I put in the pool robot and it scooped up at least a kilo of it. Now, i am a little worried, that with all the DE in the pool, how much is left to...

Hello All, I just recharged my DE. After slamming the pool, it was a good time to clean up the filter. But, first thing is I think I added too much DE powder. The Clorox stuff said to add nine pounds of DE. I think I added about 11-12 pounds. Would that be a problem? And the second thing is...

Hello Everyone, I have a few questions. First here is a pic. 1. Can you please tell me what the three levers are for? 2. Is it ok to leave the pool robot in the pool at all times?

Hello Everyone, I am trying to drop my CYA. I am trying to overflow the bad water by adding fresh water and letting it overflow? Is this a very good idea though. :) Although i am seeing results but just taking too long. So much wastage of water is something i do not like. My starting was 100...

Hello Everyone, I was interested in getting this pool cleaner, looks nice. But i am at a loss in finding a price for it. Prices range from 1100 to 1800 bucks. What is a right price for this thing?? More over reading about the online warranty is another confusing thing for me! A 1000 buck...

Hello Everyone, My second thread! Thanks to all who helped me out with the first! :) After the landscaping guys messed up my pool, I almost got the pool clean, but doing it with a vacuum in this heat is tough. I only have about 25% or dirt and debris left over now. But the thing is. it is...
