My 5 year old Intelliflo pump started leaking last year. It is now leaking worse and very corroded. I'm thinking from the salt water. I purchased the pump seal rebuilt kit. My pool service company is worried that something may break during repair due to the corrosion. I'm going to try it...

We had a gardening mishap and need a new power cable. The shorter the better. Does anyone have the part number? Thank you

I just replaced the board on the SWG. No lights were on except power. First day when I turned on the SWG it shows the salt level of 3300 then about 15 seconds later it clicked over to showing Hi on the screen and the red light at high minerals was on Day 2 it showed 3100 , then clicked over...

We had a pH issue over the winter and the pool floor and walls are rough. Everyday we get this build up in dead spots in the pool where the popups don't help.

Passed OCLT the last two mornings. CYA is at 25ish. Next delivery of stabilizer isn't until tomorrow. Should I go to the pool store and buy more now or can it wait a day? I haven't turned the SWG back on yet. FC was at 9.5 this morning. Advice please? Thank you

How do you know when the algae is dead and the foam is safe to put back in the door? I have it soaking in a bowl with bleach right now. Thank you

Hi, I'm hoping someone can recommend a good quality brush to remove scale from plaster pool. It seems the pH was way out of wack over the winter and everywhere below the water line is covered and rough. Most brushes I've found on Amazon have reviews stating the bristles are coming off in the...

Pool was opened last week. It was hard to tell if the popups were working right and it seemed like the debris in the bottom wasn't really going into the drain at the bottom of the pool. This morning we used the vacuum hose in the suction hole below the filter basket to vacuum the pool. When we...

Had the pool renovated recently. Have the lights on for the first time tonight. Can't really see this during the day, but snapped s few pics of the pop-ups. Doesn't look very good. Plaster was done with a tarp over the pool while drizzling. Not very happy with the job overall

Pool company is starting to plaster this morning. There is a light drizzle. Should I be concerned? Thanks

Just wanted to get some opinions on plaster pricing and options. Will be getting some pricing on NPT finishes next week. Pool Surface Plaster:Replaster pool:White Plaster:White 851-900 sq/ft $8319 1. Draining the pool 2. All necessary cutting and chipping of the existing plaster to accept the...

I replaced my salt cell. When SLAM was done I started adding salt. I was going by the reading on the SWG and used the Pool Math app to determine how much salt to add. I added over approx 5 hours with SWG on off while adding. I would turn it back on after a couple hours and check the level then...

Have been working on SLAM, last night out of bleach to add so FC was 13. This morning it was 11. We did have some rain overnight. Not sure how much. Can the rain cause loss of FC? Will try again tonight. Thanks

Just finished SLAM, FC level is 15. I need to install a new swg cell. Should I wait for levels to come down or install now? I won't have a chance until this evening, so level will be lower. Thanks

I believe this is the correct cell replacement I need. If we have forum supporters or sponsors that sell these I would like to support them if possible. I sponsor a couple other forums and always appreciate the support from members. Thanks

SWG had been reading 4000 salt level even when I tested the chlorine and it was low. I tested the Chlorine level this morning and it was at 1, so I went to see what SWG showed and the screen showed COLD. Any idea what's going and how to fix or do I need to replace the SWG? Thanks

I've been working on getting my CYA up by adding those packs of stabilizer to the basket. Tested this morning approx 60. SWG says my salt level is 3800 and salt test strip read 3600 so I think it's in there somewhere. Over the last week I've added 8 jugs of 6% bleach. CL is at 1. A week ago...

We have had a lot of tiles falling off thein side of the pool. In one of the love seat areas there is a crack that goes straight across. The pool repair company says the bond beam is damaged. There are places where the coping is loose and it is hollow sounding under most of the coping. Pool...

We found black algae in the pool. We scraped with a wire brush, brushed the pool and vacuumed. FC :1 CYA : very low, the black dot on the bottom of the tube never disappeared. Added three 120oz jugs of bleach. What should I use to raise the CYA? I have hth super 3" chlorinating tablets and...

I just replaced our old single speed pump with an Intelliflo VSP. I have been running the pump at preprogrammed rpm setting 4 which I believe is 3300 rpm (or close) for 3-4 hours during the night. During the day I run it at the same speed as needed to cleanup the pool. SWG displays the salt...

I used my tf100 kit and came up with these results. I don't really understand the pool math calculator. PH looks really high, above the levels on the attached picture. I haven't started the SWG yet this year. Just finally got most of the dirt out yesterday and a new set of filters in today...

Just got new pump running and pool is completely filthy. Is it okay to let the pump run over night or should I shut it off and wait until morning so I can empty baskets every couple hours? Thanks

Rain and junk falling from the trees had us opening the pool later then usual this year. This is our third year with a pool. Was having a new pump installed and the installer didn't like the way the wires looked so we are waiting on an electrician before having it hooked up. Anything I can do...

I found all the old documents the previous owner left us from when he had the pool built. It's set up for a heating system, but has no heater installed. Previous owner said it was too expensive to run, so he got a solar cover. The solar cover was huge, hard to manage, and in the way when not...

I ordered the pentair today and would like to try and protect it with a surge protector. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Local electric company is offering $150 rebate for 2 speed and $400 for variable. We were planning on upgrading this year from a single speed . What should I buy? Would also like to put in some solar panels and a heater, but I'm sure that's a whole mess. Thanks

According to my TF100 test kit I am within spec. At least I think CH 300 TA 110 CYA 60 CL 2 PH 7.8 Pool Pal app says Add 145 FL Oz bleach Add 23 FL Oz muriatic Lower Ph to 7-7.2 Add 264 lbs salt Swg reads 3300 Salt test strip shows 2600 Any advice is appreciated Thanks

I've read the manual, but none of these readings look like the salt or temperature. The 79p is where I have the dial set. Pictures below are in order from the dial setting then hitting the button to advance. Any help would be appreciated. I have no idea if my salt level. Thank you Bbp

A little water is leaking out of the inlet. I've tried to tighten it, but it won't tighten any more. Is there a seal or gasket? Would appreciate any advice I fixing. Thanks

I hope this is the right section. Bought a house with a pool. We have been running the pump 24/7. I know nothing about pools, previous owner said he ran the pump all the time. Reading here it seems it's way over kill. What kind of timer should I buy? What information do I need to supply that...
