That might be it. I'll try manually increasing the speed; I was used to our old single speed motor so I didn't know that air would be normal on a lower speed. For anyone else with this same issue, I found this thread that was helpful: Variable speed pumps and air in basket at low speed

Hello Pool Experts, I'm at my whits end with this, so I thought I'd see what I might be missing. I have a 15-year-old 10,000 gallon in-ground pool, currently getting SLAM'med to get rid of a stubborn green algae bloom. But in the course of this, I have noticed that I'm getting a lot of air...

It's a dial-type. I've called around, and the local stores don't seem to have the same model. I found it online, but I don't think it can be shipped in time. Maybe I'll uninstall it and take it in to find a similar unit. It looks like it just plugs in with four colored wires (black, white...

Ahhh..good to know. I won't make it my regular source of chlorination then. :goodjob:

The automatic timer on my pump has died, and I've got an imminent week-long trip coming soon. Energy concerns being what they are, I don't relish the idea of leaving it running for a week. So I'm wondering what happens if I don't run the pump for the week? I'm not afraid of dirt and leaves...

Comparing the two... Walmart Bleach - 182oz @ 6% = $2.67 1lb Kem-Tek "Shock Quick" - 40% "Trichloro-s-triazinetrione" = $2 Not sure how to do the math to compare liquid chlorine to powder chlorine. But the Shock Quick seems to raise my chlorine levels more than the bleach. Is that the...

My sleeve nut got the threads stripped and the pool supply store said they weren't available anymore. So I just have to make to with regular hex nuts and washers. It's a pain to get them on, but if you get a rubber mallet and get the band tightly fit around the filter, you'll get enough...

Sheesh. After a few months of really, really high electric bills, I need to get a more efficient pump. My current pump is this beast: Century Centurion B130 2 HP 3450 RPM 230V 1.20 Service Factor 10.5 AMPs It's a 10,000 gallon pool with a spa and two small water features that run...

x2 for Leslies. I've had nothing but great help from them in bringing my green pool back from the dead. :goodjob:

Thanks guys! I think I see it (it's got the clear plastic cover on the top, right?). I'll try to clean it out and hope that works. :goodjob:

Howdy pool mavens, I've got an odd problem I can't seem to solve. Our spa is above the pool water level by about half. Every time the filter turns off, the spa level slowly drops until it reaches the pool water level (so it's half empty). When the filter comes back on, it fills up the spa...

Greetings pool mavens. After years of dodging the bullet, my wife finally talked me into buying a house with a pool. It was a short sale, and the pool was pretty green. Two weeks in, I've got the pH where it needs to be (7.4), and I'm shocking the heck out of it. It's not green anymore, just...
