Thanks, I am not considering automation would like to keep everything manual. This Nidec Neptune, basically just bolts in place of the old motor, I still use the old pump housing? How do I know which seal and o-rings to purchase?

Looking to replace a Jandy Pro Series Stealth 1.5hp, pump was new in 2016 and is on its last legs. My pool is all manual control, valves, mechanical timers, etc. . . I was looking at the Jandy VS FloPro 2.7hp and it says speed set controller pre-installed, will this work for me to control...

Perfect, thanks!

Thanks! Yes, this morning test was before the sun was out. It's a cloudy day today here. Can you still swim with the FC at 15-20?

Water is clear and clean, but noticed this year my FC levels drop overnight. Yesterday morning my results where: FC 3 CC 1.5 PH 7.8 TA 110 CH 290 CYA 80 Added 6oz. acid and 1 gallon 10% bleach that morning Tested last night FC 6.5 CC 0 PH 7.4 TA 110 CH 290 CYA 80 This morning, after pump...

Last test was end of summer, water temp is below 70. I have only used tablets twice since pool was built. Nothing other than bleach or liquid chlorine and acid have been used in pool.

Pool is less than a year old and have always used liquid chloring and only tablets when on vacation. What else can cause the CYA to rise, if my test was accurate? I ran out of the CYA reagent, so I am ordering more. Not even sure what the actual measurement was since it was below the 100...

I back flush my pump at least every 2 months, once the pressure rises from 12 to 17. My starting pressure once backflushed and new DE added is always 12. Curious if I take apart filter to spray and clean the filters if this pressure would be lower? I have never disassembled the filter since...

I will order that kit if it's easier to read the CYA. The Taylor kit seems like it has to many variables on that particular test. Although I did purchase the speedstir and that makes a world of difference on the other test.

New pool and still trying to get the hang of the chemical balance. Results based on Taylor k2006 test kit, taken this morning: FC 1.5ppm CC 0 PH 7.8 TA 225 CYA 60 CH 40 Based on the CYA/Chlorine Chart my target FC shoudl be 7ppm, using using pool math it suggested I add 121oz of 10% Pool...

Going on week 3 with water in the new pool. Chlorine seems to drop overnight, from 3ppm to 1.5ppm, is this a normal drop? Also bought bleach at Home Depot, it's their brand, Germicidal Bleach, but I can't tell if its 8.25% or 10% strength. Using pool math, if it's 8.25%, it suggest to add 32...

There we go, thought I had that set up.

New inground plaster pool, going on week 2 with water. The builder has been stopping by every few days to add chemicals. Non saltwater pool, de filter, using Taylor K2006 test kit. First results are: Ph: 8.0 TA 250 CH 120 CYA 30 FC 0 CC 0 Not sure how accurate these are as it was the first...

We are thinking of upgrading to the Quartzscape Tahoe blue, PB mentioned it has been reformulated withing the last three years to help alleviate the mottling. Also probably adding a couple bags of abalone shells. Most issues I read about are from 2013 and before. Really don't care for the pebble...

We are getting close to filling new pool, plaster should be completed sometime next week. PB provides startup chemicals and does all the initial work. My plan once he hands it over to me is to use the methods here. All ready have the Taylor test kit and speedstir. I am planning to test the fill...

They had mentioned the flapper valve, how does that increase entrapement? I know we will have dual main drains and I take it that they are anti-entrapment. Is this something I need to worry about I have 2 kids ages 10 and 6. - - - Updated - - - Also is the flapper valve placed above ground...

We are in the process of building a pool and plumbing is starting. Originally the PB wanted to place the equipment about 6ft off the deck of the pool. After seeing this, I would prefer to have it up closer to the house. The issue is the pool is being builit on a built up slope which is...

First post, been reading quite a bit and now curious about my first bids. We are looking at building a 16' X 32' pool, 81' to 88' perimeter and depth range of 3'5" to 5' to 4'. Roughly about 571 to 730 sq ft of decking, travertine for decking and coping and then glass tile. Have not decided...
