I needed to shock a little and was at Lowe’s and they were out of normal bleach so I picked this up. It wasn’t until after I added 3 gallons to my pool that I realized there was extra ingredients here. From the label… Contains Sodium Hypochlorite, Sodium Hydroxide, Surfactants and Silicate...

Good to know. I wasn’t aware of that.

SWG. Chlorine levels have been at 5.5. Cya at 20 is very hard to get enough ground water to do a proper test in. It’s not sitting water just soft ground and mud. I was able to push out enough to test for chlorine. I’m doing another bucket test today with the water to the top of the bucket and...

CYA is 20.

Thanks. Another red flag is my neighbor has water pooling on our property line as well about 20’ away from my pool. I tested the water for chlorine and it didn’t have any, also he had the same problem last year and they found a leak in his irrigation system, but they always suspected the pool...

I lost 1.75” in my pool water level in 60 hours. I had a bucket filled up and it lost only 1” in the same time. I’m worried about a leak and this seems to confirm it. A couple things that might be throwing test off is the pool is heated, the water level was 3” below the top of the bucket, and it...

Opened the pool this year and it’s taking extra long to clear up. I’ve been using liquid chlorinator for a week and keeping levels very high. I don’t have a full test kit anymore so I just have strips and a basic OTO kit. The pool has so much chlorine in it it has been almost brown on the oto...

Just set it up. PH was off the charts. Took quite a bit of muriatic acid to bring it down. Then I over compensated and it went really low. Added baking soda to increase. Now PH is 7.2, but TA is 250+. I don’t want to get into a never ending cycle here, but also don’t want to scale my new...

1. See picture. This isn't mine, but identical. 2. I have no idea what the GPM requirements are besides the 1.5HP single speed pump runs it great.

Please see attached picture. I'm not 100% on what the pipe 3rd from the left is used for. I just got a Pentair INtelliflo VSF and I was thinking about completely eliminating both of my single speed pumps with this one if possible. The water feature was running on a 1.5HP and the filter on a 1HP...

Ok will do. No I don’t have screen logic. The pump I got is the Pentair Intelliflo VSF.

Thanks for the answers. Currently the water feature plumbing is completely separate from the filter plumbing, however they are side by side. I just want the ability to activate the water feature from my easy touch system and then possibly raise the rpm of the pump at the same time.

Just got this pump and had a couple of questions. First of all, currently I have 2 single speed pumps, 1 HP for the filter and a 1.5HP for a small water feature. My filter pump is the one I’m replacing. 1. Can I use this pump for both filter and the water feature? It would be nice to take...

Ok. I tried a new gasket to no avail. Any other suggestions? The pump is fairly new, but I guess I could use this opportunity to switch to a variable speed. If I did get a new pump, are the inlet and outlet locations to most pumps universal or would I have to redo the PVC?

Very possible. I'm such a novice on this topic. It sure looked like damage. 😎

So my filter pump has a large leak. The water feature pump didn’t. I had them swap out the pump and housing so I could run the filter to get the water ready and then figure out the water feature in the next few days. After investigating the pump I saw what looks like a imperfection. I’ve...

Yes it does get hot, but it’s in the sun and my water feature pump is just as hot so I don’t think it abnormally hot. I can grab a reading on it.

Thanks for your help everyone. I obtained. 30/440V capacitor and it fixed it. Now 3 weeks later it’s doing the exact same thing. Everyone seems to carry the 30/370V but not the 440V. Any ideas on what is causing the premature failure? What else should I check?

Pump is about 4 years old. I woke up this morning with it hot but not running. Pump basket was full of water and had no air in it. When I kick it on it just hums. Left it off for about 30 minutes. Same result. Just humming. Could this be a capacitor? I’m thinking capacitor / motor / pump. Where...

So I installed this system 3 years ago. I had the si-40 cell and it started showing check cell and then it wouldn’t generate any chlorine. I purchased a Si-45 cell which Circupool told me was the direct replacement for the discontinued si-40. I installed it and it’s ram great for 3 days. Now...

So I bought two skim around all in ones as my skimmers weren’t working the best and after installing them it seems my suction it too low to have the swirl effect they are talking about. After a call to support they said my filter needed changing. That made sense to me as I had a 4 year old...

Update... So I finally got a saltwater kit. Actually got it for free. Just a couple quick questions about install for my setup. 1. The spot I have to install the cell is just long enough for the cell. I don’t think I have room for the flow switch. It also says that there needs to be 12” of...
