We've only been in this house (and this pool) for the last 2 years. I switched to the TFP method after the first season. I was on SWG for our last 2 pools so I needed to learn. The previous owner was using pucks and the CYA was through the roof. I did a partial drain and refill last season and...

I ended up biting the bullet and grabbing the same mastertemp 400k model. Totally worth not having to change any plumbing. Plus the last one was good for 14 years...

Hi all, our current Mastertemp 400 finally bit it after 14 years. Looking for recommendations on a replacement. Our pool is around 14000 gallons with a 800 gallon spillover spa. The same model heater looks to be around $2000- 2700, while Raypak is a lot cheaper for what seems like a comparable...

I'd bet on the heat exchanger. Is it a saltwater pool? Mine looked exactly like that when it failed and the exchanger started leaking.

Hi all, just wanted to give another thanks to this forum. My family enjoyed a beautiful weekend in a sparkling pool. FC loss has been around 2ppm a day with weather in the 90's and hours of use. My valve arrives today and I will exchange some water to bring my CYA down again. We thought the...

FC held over night (28) and CC is O. PH 7.6 TA 110 - are these numbers accurate with the FC being so high? or should I let my FC come down before testing and adjusting them. I'll tackle the CYA when the valve shows up. Thanks again

So I did what I could today, but don't have a valve in line to drain to waste. I rigged up a discharge using my waterslide pump but could only drain to the lowest side port on the pool. I have a valve ordered to solve that. My CYA dropped almost 40 and CH improved as well. On the sanitation...

Now I just have to figure out what 4000 gallons looks like in my irregular shaped beach entry pool ?

Thanks Jim, I agree. Do you think since the water is pretty close to being good on the CC part and clarity that it won't set it back too far?

Hi all, I know you should take of balancing before starting SLAM however I didn't. I'm wondering if doing a partial drain and refill is an issue? I'm running a Hayward 4030 cartridge (430 sq ft) in a 14000 gallon pool with spillover spa. The previous owner had been using pucks and I foolishly...
