It’s been a while- no idea where to start. The water circulation seems weak, there is now what appears to be de in the pool. Rubber gaskets replaced, filter grids replaced. What steps do I need to trouble shoot?

Hola- Its been a while. We have VERY hard water and I have to drain and fill about every two years. The scale from the hardness is awful on our plumbing, sinks, appliances etc. We are looking to put in a Pureagain water system that filters and uses something called Nucleation Assisted...

We have the return side cleaner. We just amp up the speed the last hour during so it travels faster and has more suction. Im thinking the return line doesnt fully switch. If I send pics can you tell me which one is the return line?

Have an issue that I need help with. During the day under normal filtration my spa level is great. I have a valve that allows the water to slowly fill and overflow the spa. During the "cleaning" process the water level in the spa only drops 8 inched and when I run the spa the water stays low...

Re: Am I the first one to consider dumping my salt chlorinat follow up- drained and filled. things are much better. Still a acid hog but eye issue are much less of an issue

Re: Am I the first one to consider dumping my salt chlorinat Thanks you! My fill water TA is high. Where I really see the trouble is when we have kids over and they splash around while the waterfalls run. The PH level gets so out of hand so quick. Ill try the borates. Were adding so much...

Were on our 4th summer of swimming and Im sick of the problems the salt cell creates with my well water. Current reading Chlorine- 4 PH-7.2 TA- 120 CA- 280- thats the fill water CA level. CYA-60 Nice right? Well the PH fluxes so much I have 2 issues- I get snow flakes in the pool. Looks...

I folks- Been awhile- Does anybody know a company that can fill my pool with H20? I have way to high calcium levels and need to drain and fill. Dont want to fill with my 280 ppm fill H20. Names? Well water

Thanks Jason. Found the tear. Do I need to reset anything once I have fixed the wire?

We are in the process of getting our home painted. Today when I got home the remote is reading sensor error- pool solar sensor How can I trouble shoot this before I need to call out the pool repair guy. Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Ok. New problem. I have been able to keep the snow flakes in control but the pool water is really bad on the eyes. The worst red eyes that I have seen. FC- 4.0 TA-80 PH- 7.3 CA-735 CYA- 70 The well water makes it nearly impossible to maintain a decent CA level. Keeping the pool negative seems...

It has some build up every couple weeks that I clean off, but not much. advice?

still frustrated with white flakes As stated in a previous post i went away from a couple week and a friend forgot to put much acid in the pool. I got some snow flakes in the pool. I then reduced my PH and am holding at 7.2-7.3. The flakes continue. Current read chlorine- 5.0 PH- 7.2 CA- 725...

Quick question- We have well water with a hi CA count- 275-350 at the fill depending on the test day. My CA is currently at 500 and my TA is at 80. At what level should I do a partial drain and refill. Thanks in advance!

Fight on!

I went on vacation for a couple of weeks and a friend agreed to test the pool and balance (especially acid since we have a salt pool). I got back and tested the water at PH 8. I added acid and balanced. Went swimming three days later and found snow flakes in the pool. Current reading FC 4 TA...

Thank you! We get almost no shade. That explains it. Thanks to all that provided input.

My pump run time is from 9:00 am until 4:30 pm on a low 1800 rpm setting. I do not know what the run time is for the IC. How do I check the clorinator run time?

I have an IC 40. I intentionally over sized the chlorinator so that it would last longer and not have to work as hard. In the hot summer I have had to set it at 60% to get proper chlorination. Is this normal? Current relevant readings- IC Set at 60% FC- 4.0 PH-7.5 CYA- 85 Outside temp 82 Water...

UPDATE- You guys rock! There were several hairs wrapped around O ring on the pump lid. Washed it real good and lubed it up and no issues any more.

Its weird- three of the 4 returns are flowing well. The pump is now running with a lot of air. The in pool cleaner is running fine. The water flow does seem to be diminished some at some spots if that makes sense. 'Im at a loss

what is the best way to locate a blockage? pipe snake?

Took apart the filter. All seems good, but the pressure keeps dropping. Felt around the impeller and there doesnt seem to be anything stuck that I can tell. Should I call someone to come out and check? Pressure is down to 5 from 9 with the pump speed increased.

Nope- no deep cleaning- I did reach in and there didnt seem to be anything in the impeller.

whats an impeller. Is it part of the pump?

No leaves in either basket. Re-lubed the seal on the pump. The water flow on the eyelets is strong & the suction side pool sweep is moving well.

Cleaned the filter about 2 weeks ago and the pressure reading was perfect 9. Right where it usually is. The past 2 days it has dropped to about 6 even as I increased the flow rate from 1800 rpm to 1900. Should I worry?

Whats the name of your pool builder. Looks like we had the same guy: )

The demo home concept is a sales trick used by contractors to build excitement for the purchaser. They usually will tell you that they have this special deal and that they will give you this but you ahve to agree to be a demo house. Window, landscaping, texture coating etc. all us it the sales...

Hmmm....... My pool is very similar in size and has tons of twists and turns and I have not had the problem your facing. Yes- the cleaner spends more time in the deep end, but that is where you want it most as Crud rolls down hill. When called the best cleaner remember that many of us are...
