Hi Fellow Pool People. I was losing pressure in the basket of my variable speed pump. 1. I checked the o-ring, coated it with that vaseline-type stuff, and put it back. Same issue. 2. I brought over a bucket of water, and poured it around various places. On the main pump part (see...

I do have a variable speed pump - Pentair Intelliflo

I searched for other threads on this forum, and they were pre-2010. Wondering if there are new products/solutions for this issue. Thanks in advance.

Hi all....Just wanted to share my experience with phosphates and algae...which backs up some of the main points in this thread. I had a recurring algae problem over course of 2 yrs. I spent oodles of dollars on borates etc, shocking. But if I was neglectful just one week, BAM....the algae...

Actually, they discuss that issue in the manual...I experienced it once....it's due to an ungrounded plug. Try a different socket (on a different outlet) and it may run just fine. It happened to me when I accidentally got a little water on the plug and then it wouldn't run. I moved it to...

I currently have an old DE filter from Hayward, and many of the parts are no longer available, so with this latest breakdown, it's time to get a replacement. Several questions: 1 - I've read about the differences between the 3 types -- tell me what you have and WHY you like it (or what you...

After weeks of unsuccessful results working my pool store folks, I am now ready to follow the TPF method to test my own water and get rid of algae! I've been reading all of the Pool School stuff, plus the manual that's come with my newly acquired Taylor test kit, and have a couple of questions...

CYA reading will have to wait a week. I don't have the printout from the pool store and won't go again til next weekend. I'll be back...

So do you have any tricks to keep the cord from twisting? Or to untwist effectively?

Sodium dichloro-triazinetrione dihydrate It's made by REGAL, and the product is called Dy-chlor II (roman number '2')

I just opened what I thought was going to be a bucket of chlorine tablets, and there are granules instead. I think this was part of 'buy this get that' offer from the pool store -- I don't have the receipt so am stuck with the stuff. When and how do I use this? Dang, learning the hard way....

Thanks for letting me know that. I've been taking water samples to the pool store for them to read and they tell me my chlorine is fine, I usually need to add acid. Think I'll buy my own kit to test to see what's going on. BTW, when I cleaned the Blue Diamond just now, there was a very fine...

The Blue Diamond arrived, has had two days in the pool, and I guess I'm happy with it overall. I can say I'm very impressed as to how much power it has compared with my Polaris 380. It has 2 cycles -- a 'standard' 1-hr cycle, which only cleans the bottom, and a 'super' cycle that is...

First, thanks SO much for this forum....it's so valuable for a single, female pool-novice like me. I've spent hours researching which robotic pool cleaner would best fit my needs and solve my 'issues'. I decided on the Blue Diamond RC based on postings here -- so I hope you're all right...

Today was the first time I ever took apart my filter to fully clean it -- I used to have a service do this in the past but have had to cut back on expenses, so I'm becoming a DIY-er. I have a Hayward Micro Clear 720S (DE). Would like comments on my experience, and recommendations on a...
