    Drain screen stained

    My drain screens and other plastic parts are stained tan/brown. Water chemistry is fine. Just seemed to stain last 6 months. I can’t brush it off, the plaster isn’t stained just the plastic parts. Ideas?

    Pool RX

    No algae or issues as of now. Stabilizer was 10-20 upon my return with a high FC but zero CC. It’s all setup now and everything looks good. I use a Taylor 2006, and know where I need to be. I don’t have a pool service and sometimes have to go out of town for business, so water chems go...

    Pool RX

    Rented my house for a year as we were overseas. I hired a reputable pool maintenance company to take care of the pool. We just moved back in and I found a pool RX thingy in my skimmer. Didn’t know what it was but the company put it there in July to battle black algae in the grout...

    Pentair Intelliflo 3hp

    I just looked at some previous posts, looks too common. Yes there is a bonding wire on it and it goes to the pool heater only. The motor case bonding connection was rusted and may not have been a great Connection. I cleaned it up and reconnected it. If I put a multimeter on the bonding...

    Pentair Intelliflo 3hp

    Quick summery, motor corroded/oxidized and pushed the flange away from the motor and against the impeller causing it to rub. I pulled the motor off and bought a new flange works fine now. Question is why would the pump corrode that much in 3.5 years. Its grounded, or at least a wire is...

    Aqua pure issue with new pump

    They replaced the cell under warranty. Just had the builders invoice and city permit close outs but he didn’t ask for anything. Just said the cell was bad and put a new one in. He cleaned up the power cable and said to call him if it caused any other problems. Thanks for the advice... C.

    Aqua pure issue with new pump

    OK, it appears that the center pin receiver on the harness side is rusted. I attempted to clean or at least scuff it up and applied dielectric lubricant. Hard to really get anything down in there without making it worse. It works for 30 minutes or so after resetting the unit so I'm thinking...

    Aqua pure issue with new pump

    Aquapure PLC1400 pro series. I installed a new VSP and get a general SWG fault when the pump is operating at low speed. Shows a 120 code so i figured it was just low flow. Now I'm getting the same fault at any speed. Its three years old and I cleaned it once but there was really nothing to...

    Huge leaf stain after Hurricane Irma

    I filled out the signature in my profile don't know why it's not displaying in my response. SWG does most of the chlorinating, I add bleach if it gets behind.

    Acid demand with new plaster

    My new plaster, SWG, waterfalls, bubblers caused my pool to do the exact same thing. It seems to get better after six months, I'm now at almost two years and 10k gal pool takes around a gallon a month to keep it in range.

    Huge leaf stain after Hurricane Irma

    had the same leaf staining, it's slowly fading hoping a FC of 5, CC 0.5, CYA 70 will work. I'm still losing 1.5-2.0 overnight but don't want to SLAM it if I don't have to. Good luck.

    iron in water

    I have the same problem. I think my iron is from lawn irrigation which is on a shallow well, its doesn't spray into the pool but when its windy I guess enough gets in over time. I'm sure it could be from another source. I use a sequestrant and just dump some water when it gets really bad...

    Filter pressure on Jandy 340CV

    Jandy 340CV, 4 (85ft^2) cartridge filters at 340ft^2 total. I installed it myself minus the electrical. Just got off the phone with AquaCal and sent pictures of my setup. He thinks its a non issue and caused by my plumbing which is the only option given its location. He said I might consider...

    Filter pressure on Jandy 340CV

    Installed an AquaCal heat pump and pressure on filter shows about an 8 psi increase. Usually run 10 psi clean filter, 18 dirty filter, now runs at 25psi , almost 30 psi spa mode. Cleaned filter didn't drop significantly. Ideas?

    Constantly changing SWG output to keep FC in line

    I have a Jandy SWG and constantly have to adjust the output to keep FC in 3-5 range. Is this typical ? get one cloudy day her in Miami and FC goes to 7, bright sunny day below 3. ref. CYA 70-80, ph 7.6, salt 3000 ppm, TA 60-70. Would be easier to just add bleach daily.

    PH keeps creeping up?

    I have the same issue, PH always rises. TA of about 60 works for my pool, I'm guessing the waterfalls and bubblers and one year old plaster are really the cause. After six months seems to be demanding a little less acid. If my TA get below 40 can get some wild swings in PH when I add...
