Good afternoon, Taylor K-2006C With my back to the sun and the tube waist high, should the tube be shaded by my body? Or...?

Good afternoon, My question is... With a high CYA level, does the chlorine level effect phenol red in the usual way? In other words, should I be concerned about accuracy when testing for pH with a CYA level of 100 and FC of above 10? No need to read further unless you're wondering why the...

Good afternoon, It appears the thermal overload on my motor is kicking in some afternoons. I have a motor on order, but I'm a bit concerned about the Ecomatic SWG cell. If the pump quits while the cell is on, is there potential for damage? The manual doesn't specifically mention a dead pump...

Good afternoon, Last season I bought and installed a 2" check valve with the goal of keeping the solar drain-down from upsetting the sand filter bed. I bought it at a local plumbing supply shop... not thinking that there may be specialized pool products better suited for the job. I fired up...

Hello, I've been using the Taylor K-2006C for close to 15 years. Both pool and spa are chlorine sanitized. Late this last summer I noticed an anomaly while testing the hot tub. After adding enough DPD reagent to clear the water... the water would slowly become just a tiny bit pink again...

Hey gang, I'm considering one of these for the tub. 15 years ago or so I had read that SWCGs result in lower CCs. Back then I installed one for my outdoor pool and never have CC problems sans a huge pool party, but... the UVs could very well be taking care of most or all of that. My ozonator...

Good afternoon, Just got the 'ol Ecomatic going again with an aftermarket cell. Glad to be back in saltwater action! Only question I have is one I haven't seen much mention of... From this page, it appears the PoolMath / TFP alkalinity recommendations are referencing total and not adjusted...

So my bargain basement Phoenix Spa has been chuggin' along just great for 16 years. Until now. First it stopped heating. Then a few days later the breaker tripped and it won't reset. Trips instantly. (EDIT: I have unplugged every component coming out of the control box, including the...

Couldn't find an answer to this one anywhere, so... The spa chloramines have just crested 0.5. It's going to hit 90 today, so I have the cover off to give it some UVs. The CYA level is very low, so I was going to bump it up to 50 so I don't have to douse the tub with chlorine to make it...

. I believe I have solved it in Post #4... Hello, So the ol' Sta-Rite, though performing same as always, finally started making noise after 12 years of good service. So I found the Harris for $150 on Amazon with stellar reviews. Hook up went smoothly and she runs quiet, but the pressure...

Good morning, I read some threads, but thought I should post a specific question. The problem is... we have neared the end of pool season. However, we are about to set record high temps this weekend with another cold snap to quickly follow. Today - 103F. Tomorrow - 99. Sunday - 94...

Hello, Roguewave, here. 10 year lurker, first time poster. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best place on the web for pool care advice and I appreciate all I've learned from many of you over the years. Forgive the long post, but consider some of it my introduction. The basics...
