    Pump Leak

    Yea sorry its a way too close pic to show the whole story (its at the top). I wiped it down with a dry rag and then took a picture once it started leaking again to show where the source is coming from. I'll call INYO this afternoon.

    Pump Leak

    After watching spending more time on Google, I realized I didn't tighten in the 1,3,5,2,4,6 pattern. So I took it apart, did a quick look and put it back together in the correct pattern and that ALMOST fixed the problem. I still have leaks on the top of the unit.

    Pump Leak

    Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions... I have a small leak on the seal where the motor connects to the pump. Is this a pretty easy DIY seal fix? It looks like my model # is C48L2N134B3 ser# 08413CH

    Texas Coast & Inland - Balancing pool w Lot's of Rain

    I'm glad I found this thread! I live in Corpus and we have rain forecast anywhere from 10-30". Im currently about 10" below surface level and i've had my cya on the higher end of the spectrum even after 3 partial drains. Should I go ahead and drain some more out while I can and drop the ph...

    Dolphin E10 Review

    I got my fine filter in last week and it is definitely doing a better job than the standard. Not sure it is doing more than just using the filter sock on top of that though. No complaints, my pool has never been this clean.

    Dolphin E10 Review

    I ordered mine from their site since it showed in stock on July 19th. I got the 'not in stock' email later but since i couldnt find it anywhere else i just decided to wait. It finally shipped on Aug 4th. I do not have a caddy, is there any special way to store the unit?

    i added 1 gallon of liquid bleach as recommended by pool math last night and retested this morning hoping my cya level would lower after the water having more time to circulate (or just newbie error). the water is still cloudy and my pressure went up 2-3 psi. ph 7.2 fc 11 cc 1.5 ta 100 ch 175...
