    Much thanks Mark! No more air in the lines and I have a better idea of what speed to run at and my PSI

    Air in return lines with solar on

    Mark thank you so much! Before I increased the speed the PSI was right at about 10. Now its running at 15. When I replaced the pump last year I also replaced the filter. The Jandy is a bit bigger than the old Hayward cartridge so would that account for some of the change? Sounds like I...

    The panels are located on the opposite side of the roof from the pump and it's a single story A line roof. Its 20-25 feet at the height of the roof

    Hi, I was able to find a few other threads regarding air in the return lines with the solar on and am having that problem. Last year I replaced my old Hayward 1/2 HP pump with the Pentair IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump. Everything is working great except I was getting air in the return lines...

    Hello from Buddysma

    The fill water (taken from the garden hose) is 190. The CH is down from 720 to 450 after draining and refilling 3/4 of the ppol. Is there any way to reduce the CH without draining again? Thanks for the help - again :)

    Hello from Buddysma

    Just got my kit today and performed a test. The water is clear now. FC = 8 CC = 0 TC = 8 pH = 7.0 TA = 130 CH = 460 CYA = 80 Should I try to lower the TA a bit - should I concentrate on the CH? I'm not sure which one I should be working on to get the chemicals back in shape. Thanks again...

    Hello from Buddysma

    Hi, I found this site through a friend :) I'm having trouble with my pebble tec pool. My chemicals were really unbalanced so I drained 3/4 of the pool yesterday and refilled it today. Prior to draining chemicals were: FC = 0 pH = 8.0 TA = 170 CH = 720 CYA = 100 After refilling: FC = 0 pH = 7.5...
