I recently installed a flow meter in my pool plumbing. My GPM hangs out around 33 with my VS pump at full speed (3450 rpm). So, today I reconnected my third return that used to have a second pump running a Polaris cleaner. This third return allowed me to get to about 36gpm. Then I removed the...

In August of 2017 I installed a new variable speed pump from inyopools.com, the PureLine Prime Variable Speed Pool Pump 1.65 HP - PL2605 Today the buttons on the digital controller stopped working. Has anyone seen this problem? Is it something I can fix without replacing the controller? I...

My Doheny's Discovery that I bought in the summer of 2016 was dead this week when I threw it into the pool to begin it's fourth year of service. I took the power module into the house and opened it up to see what the problem might be. What I found was a burnt spot right in the middle of the...

I've decided that I want to add a SWG to my pool. As this season is nearing end, I'm wondering if I will find discounted end of season prices on a SWG kit, or if I should wait till next spring to get the most out of the warranty. I also would love advice on which unit to go with. I'm also...

I was just wondering if anybody here has used a photometer such as this one http://hannainst.com/products/portable-photometers/hi96722-cyanuric-acid-portable-photometer.html to measure their CYA levels. If so, what was your impression of the meter/testing? As subjective as the current...

Hello, My name is Major and I'm learning to take care of my first pool. Well, that's not entirely true. My parents moved into a house with a pool when I was ten and I learned a lot about taking care of that pool. (20 x 40 IG Gunite, 9 foot average depth) But this is my first pool as a pool...

I've recently moved my family into a new home with an in ground, vinyl liner, 18' x 36 rectangular pool with an average depth of 5 feet. I'm guessing it's around 24,000 gallons. It has a Polaris vac-sweep 360 that is running from a pressure outlet next to the skimmer basket. According to the...
