Hello All, I've attached some images, which were the best shots I could get of these black areas on my pool walls. I noticed this just last week, and I've been traveling a lot so it could have been there sooner. So Sunday, I tried the normal got my brush and quickly saw nothing was coming off...

I have recently found that I'm losing water at my skimmers. Basically where the wall tiles meet up at the skimmer. I've been researching what grout or caulk I should use to fix this, since I'm losing water there. Any recommendations?

Hey All, I just got back from vacation and noticed this after I was brushing. Anyone have an idea as to what kind of algae this may be?

What's up guys, so I just noticed while doing some maintenance on my pool, that when I turn my pump on, my cartridge tank slightly expands, and shutting it off, it returns to where it was. My pressure seems normal about 20-21. I've never seen it do this before, any ideas?

Hey everyone, I have about a 15 yr old Jandy automation system(I think its a RS Aqualink). Anyhow, we are a saltwater pool and I just had new flagstone coping installed. The pool company wanted me to do the switch from salt to straight up tablet(and rework my automation), but they wanted like a...

Hey All, I was wondering what the opinions on coping are for a Saltwater pool. My pool was built in 2006 and has been saltwater the entire time(according to previous home owner). However he doesn't remember if the coping(flagstone) was ever sealed. Anyhow, the flag stone over his last year...

So I just replaced my Salt Cell(aqua pure plc1400). All together it's a new cell, new power cord and new tri flow sensor. Checked my chlorine level this afternoon and it's up(2.5) but not as high as I thought it would be for the time it's running. My CYA is good, it's about 70. Anyhow, I...

Just bought a replacement PLC1400 for my old unit. Was so happy, about installing it I forgot to look how the old power cord was plugged in. In my setup, my new cell has a RED and a BLUE wire, while the wires coming from the board are GREEN and BLACK/WHITE. I don't see any steps in my...

Afternoon TFP! I was just sitting here recovering from Harvey and looking over all my equipment, and I just started thinking about my entire automation board is almost 12 years old. So then I was wondering, how easy is it going to be to keep this system running? I've already had a backboard fail...

I didn't see a storm section so I hope this is OK to post here. We have the potential here in Houston to get a LOT of rain, according to the forecasts. So my question is about draining my pool a little. If I should or should not? My pool is probably at least a couple 12" - 14" higher than my...

Afternoon all, Have a general question on my SWCG. my pool is about 11 years old now, and we are not the original owners. I have had problems with my tri-flow sensor and backboard, both of which I have replaced. Secondly, I have checked the cell regularly in the last year that we have been...

How often does everyone check their Cyanuric acid level? I got a new kit, tested my level.. found it low, raised it, tested again.. then we had a lot of rain a while back, tested the level it was low again, raised it and tested it again. now I'm out of reagent and was ordering some more. But...

Hey everyone, Again I'm a new pool owner, and my system is a Salt. I had a backboard go out, a while back and before that the tri-flow sensor. I now have the Taylor K-2006 test kit and I am finding my chlorine level always falls to under 1. I then have to add liquid chlorine to get it back...

hello everyone, another new pool owner question. I have been focusing on learning my chem's and how to keep my pool in balance. Now that I have that pretty much down I've started to check some other things. my pool is about 11 years old, and we purchased the home last year. I've attached...

Hey everyone, need some advice / help again. In short I went out Friday to check my chems to find there was next to 0 chlorine in my pool. So I go and check my panel and it shows "LO" chlorine production and a 123 error code, which I looked up and that indicates a low power condition. So I got...

So here's another new experience for this new pool owner. Here in Houston the weather has finally started to get colder. As of the last few days it's dipped into the 50's and stayed there. I checked my Jandy PDA and my water temp is at 60 degrees. It says my AquaPure is at 70%(which is what it...

Hey Everyone, I have been a pool owner for about 90 days now. I have noticed that at least once every 7 - 10(give or take a day) days I have to add water to my pool. So, I spoke to someone here locally and they said it sounds like a leak. So I started reading in the posts here and found how...

Hey everyone, Just wanted to do the introduce yourself thing here. We just purchased a home that was built in 2006, with a pool put in that same year. I have a general idea on how things work, but I consider myself a total newbie. I already posted a few questions today and already received...

Afternoon everyone, I have a general question about the cartridge filters size. Are there only one size of cartridges? Or do I need to pull them out and get the dimensions? I know I'm going to have to replace mine in a few months. The bands are breaking on them at this last cleaning.

Hello everyone, new pool owner here. :) We recently purchased a new home with a pool, the pool was built in 2006 and is a Saltwater system. The salt cell is a aquapure plc1400. I've been through the troubleshooting guide and it appears the sensor is bad. I had several pool people over and...
