Last year was a rough year for us medically so the pool was not the main priority. About the first part of June in 2018, we started and it was green, green, green. My husband was taking over because I just couldn't. Our local pool store was his go to and we were never able to get it totally...

Ok - first reading: FC = 15.5 CC = 2.5 TC = 90 CH = 80 CYA = 25 Pool is dark to neon green. Can see the second step. Will post a picture later. Vacuuming two to three times a day. Scraping down the sides of the pool twice at least a day. Skimming often. I can do this!!!

Thank you all! We were without a pump motor for a period during that late spring until about a week ago. We are trying to get all the gunk out of the pool before we start the SLAM. We got tons of leaves and gunk from the bottom of the pool and are now dealing with sludge although that is...

What is the difference in vacuuming to waste and vacuuming to the filter? I have never vacuumed to waste so if there is a benefit in clearing up a green pool, can you tell me how to do it? :confused: Thank you.

Oh my has it been something this year. Our pump motor died in March, then a relative took ill and moved in with us taking most of our time and extra dollars. With that said, our once lovely 22,000 gallon pool is now a brown smelly swamp. We have been getting the debris out as we have seen it...

Oh my goodness...Of course the motor on our pump would go out on the coldest day of the year so far and when they are forecasting snow 4 - 6 inches of snow. :cry: We have a 20,000 gallon in-ground pool that we keep open year round. We have a Jandy Stealth system with a Century Centurion...

Good Monday morning to all! Our water temp is still in the upper 70's so too warm to officially close, but I want to be prepared to close it the proper TFP way rather than the Pool Store way I've done in the past. So...my question is how do I close it properly? From what I've read so far, it...

We had the same error codes earlier in the summer. We replaced the flow sensor and salt cell and everything is working fine! :whoot: We have wonderfully clear water thanks to the help from everyone on this board! Good luck!

My kids used to get swimmers ear regardless of my pool chemistry. Their pediatrician said to use equal parts warm water and white vinegar. Put several drops in ear, let sit for five minutes then do the same on the other side. She said it equalizes the ph in the ear which is a variable in...

Maybe I'm not plugging my numbers into the correct box. I put my numbers in the first box on the left and then hit calculate. Should I do something differently? Thanks.

Thanks. I put in 70 for my cya goal with all my other numbers and it still says not to add anything.

Pool is clear but... FC 5.5 CC .5 TC 6.0 Ph 7.5 TA 130 CH 260 CYA 40 Salt 3500 Pool calculator says not to add anything but I know I should add CYA but I don't know how much. Should I add anything else?

:oops: I had to buy both a sensor and a salt cell (separately) this year. I got a good deal from http://www.poolpartsonline.com. You could try them. Both were pretty easy to install.

We just bought a new cell and installed it on Friday so I hope it isn't the cell. We will try the multi-meter and let you know. At and rate, we will need to go old school until we can figure it out. Can anyone help with pool numbers: Alk = 139 pH = 7.66 Calcium = 288 Total Chlorine = .69...

I don't know how much more to replace (at this point could have bought a whole new system). We got the 175/182 codes earlier in May. Replaced the flow sensor. Then got the 123 code. Cleaned the salt cell. Still a code so we replaced the salt sensor. Was running with no code for one day...

one more question...do I keep the pump running 24 hours a day until I return or just my normal run time during the day? Thanks.

Thank you. Just to make sure I understand...I should put the muratic acid in at the return with the pump on for 30 minutes and then add the bleach. Do I add the bleach at the return or the skimmer and do I put all 912 oz in at the same time? When I get home on Sunday should I test for...

I'm waiting for a new salt cell as our old one has died. We have a 20,000 gallon inground fiberglass pool with a Hayward filter and pump and a Jandy Aquapure 1400 SWG. The new cell won't be here until next week and we are going out of town this weekend. I know I need to get some bleach in the...

I just wanted to say that I had to buy a new flow sensor for our Jandy AquaPure 1400 system and these guys were absolutely wonderful. When I ordered the part, they had a question, we sent photos of the unit and they recommended the correct one. Shipping was good and the customer service is out...

Well...I think we figured out why we were getting no chlorine. We got the dreaded 123 code on Sunday, 6/12/2011. Today, my husband is going to try and clean the cell even though there is no evident scaling. We will probably have to order the cell tonight or tomorrow is my guess. This has...

thanks so much! you guys are so nice to respond so quickly. I will purchase a test kit from www.tftestkits.net When we add the muratic acid, is there a particular way we should add it and how much do we add? We've never used it before. If I understand correctly, we should replace 1/2 the...

We have a 20,000 gallon in-ground salt water pool. We have a Jandy AquaPure 1400 chlorinator and an AquaLink automated system. Earlier this year, we had to replace our filter (no big deal) and then we got the dreaded 172/185 codes and replace the flow sensor. All seemed good as we were back...

Here's the story: Replaced filter this year because old one died. Started chlorinator and immediately got codes 172/185. After much online research (thank you all) we replaced the sensor. All the while, our local pool store told us to shock every five days so the water wouldn't turn green so...

We have a Tiger Shark pool vac that is about 3 years old. We have never had any problem with it. Last night I put it in to clean our in-ground pool and it got hung on the steps but I didn't know it until this morning. I took it out, cleaned it, turned the handles around, turned it off and put...
