And no, thats not a drain. Its threaded but solid plastic across the hole about 1/2 deep. Assuming it can be drilled and tapped for something. Same kind of hole on the top that can be used for a pressure relief valve.

I’ll check shortly on the drain plug. Does the pressure switch unscrew in order to drain it? Or something else need done?

Who wants to be the first to give me some guidance!? Had a Pentair Mastertemp 125 natural gas heater installed this year and find NOTHING online about winterization procedure. I winterized my pool like normal yesterday, flushed returns, got water out of everything and antifreeze in place...

Got a waste setting i can use, but dont i need to backwash to clean my filter of any algae? Or do i need to do a complete teardown of the filter and clean the grids by hose?

Came home from work yesterday, removed solar cover and had a cloudy pool. Could barely see the bottom of the deep end. Ran a series of tests thru my TF test kit. Chlorine was 0, PH was normal, TA and CH were normal and that brings me to CYA. My CYA has been between 90-100 since we bought the...

So basically i was going to coil the hose on the rubber roof, the heat from the roof would heat the hose and any water running through it. An increase of 10 degrees would be fine with me as it would get me into low to mid 70's. And i already have a solar cover installed. The pool is 14x30 with a...

So my natural gas heater needs a $900 part to get operational, i am opting to just leave it collect dust. My inground pools sits approximately 4 feet above the deck out my back door which is partially covered. The roof of my covered deck is rubber and gets HOT during the day. I am considering...

My water level is slightly above midway and i actually dont have a weir door on my skimmer

Just went out and watched my pressure guage and pump. The pressure will bounce back and forth between 10psi and almost 25psi. When up to 25 have good pressure out my jets, then it dips and hardly anything comes out the jets then it bounces back up again to almost 25psi and keeps repeating this...

Pool Boys came today to open my pool for the season. Never opened our pool since we bought the house last summer so i called for help this first time. Was told that when the psi on the filter gets up to 25, backwash til clear, filter 1 minute, backwash again until clear, put 3 scoops of my DE...

I started broadcasting both, warm water didnt seem to help me with the borax howevr i may have been tryingnto dissolve to much at one time. Most of both get spread around near my jets. pressure has stayed where its supposed to be, notni just need to figure out my suction side leak. Im in the...

I had broadcast the baking soda all over the surface of the pool. Tonite, i tore apart my filter, cleaned everything, drained it, added new water and DE and out i back together. Ok so far. Also threw in more Borax before going in for the night. Now all i have is an air leak somewhere. Dumping...

you've mistaken my thankfulness as satisfaction. I will be continuing to raise the pH this evening after i return home with more Borax. as of 11am EST my pressure was climbing and up to almost 30psi and the water level had dipped even more in the strainer basket and i could see the jets were...

PH is now in the low to mid 6's with a TA of 140. slowly getting there folks, thank you. do i nee to be concerned with the water level in my pump and pressure in my filter? Ive always had a small amount of air bubbles and a slightly lowe water level in my pump, i have a sunction leak somewhere...

The water has cleared to crystal over the last 48hrs. This morning i have slowly added 12lbs of baking soda and 12 lbs of borax. Pool Math has suggested almost 2x that much Borax but im out until i can pick more up this evening. My pump is still only 1/2 full of water and my filter pressurenis...

FC 14-15 CC 0 CH 300 TA 30 CYA 120ish PH still less than 6.8. It has the same yellow color of a chlorine level of 5

Hayward 2420 DE filter and a Hayward pump. I forgot to mention the water level in my pump basket is only half full too. I will attempt to get a test complete before leaving for the day. TF100 test kit with speedstir

TA is now readable, about 40. Is Borax the quickest way to get my PH up? I can never get my Borax to dissolve in water before putting in the pool, can i spread it around the pool straight out of the box? Also, do i need to be concerned with my filter pressure being up at the moment?

Does anyone have any thoughts as to 1. Why my water is a little cloudy; and 2. Why the pressure in my filter is suddenly shooting up almost 10psi even after cleaning?

So i have let things go for about a month now. I had decided to let things go as they were until the end of the season. Ive been able to maintain a constant acceptable chlorine level with the automatic chlorinator. My PH has stayed low, under 6.8, and the TA has remained zero per my TF100 test...

I will be dumping in the other 8lbs of Baking Soda today that i have on stock. I also have 16lbs of Borax on stock, the last Poolmath calc had told me 17oz of Borax to get my PH up. is it safe to add baking soda and of Borax at the same time? i realize i need to dissolve the borax in water...

I have the TF100 test kit, and using the Weekly chlorine test for a more accurate reading, on Saturday i had an FC of 10 and CC of 0. Using the daily PH test, i am getting a reading of below 6.8. Thats as accurate as i can get with this kit.

Retested the TA again this evening, it is still nevr turning green, just going straight to red. I threw in 2 4lb boxes of baking soda this morning in the deep end of the pool and let the pump on for approx 8hrs afterwards. This was about 1/2 of the recommended dose. PH was still near 6.8, maybe...

CYA wont fall on its own over time if i can get the other levels under control? if i do need to drain, i was provided directions on how to winterize which explain how to lower the water level. I assume i can follow those directions? There at at least 3 drainholes in the pumphouse that have...

Hi folks! just closed on a home yesterday with and inground pool. Homeowners have not occupied the house in over 2 months but maintained the pool well enough to not let it grow green. I preformed the full blown TF100 tests the past 2 days, here at my most recent results: FC 10ppm CC 0ppm PH...
