FYI, the "Main drain Clips did NOT solve my problem. I used 2 just as he recommended but actually made it worse. My pool floor around the drain is raised somewhat and the Zodiac mat thing is the only cure for me so far. My first one lasted about 7 years and I changed it out. it was still intact...

Hey, guys, does anybody know the screw size of the faceplate locking screw. The faceplate is 16 years old with part number SP580A. The pool store doesn't have and Amazon wants 17.00 for one. I thought if I had the size I could find a ss screw at Lowes.

Guy's I just recently had my Marcite (worn out) pool painted with epoxy/urethane with a 15 year warranty. Now, I need some info on the chemistry parameters. Is everything the same as in TA, CH, Ph, etc, or are things going to be drastically different? I'm not having very much luck online. TIA

Are you planning to go with a single speed SuperFlo or the SuperFlo VS?? Thanks, Jim, I was referring to a VS so I guess the answer would be for me to stay with a single-speed pump. My SWG and pump are both wired to an Intermatic timer. I don't understand why they have so many DIY videos as...

I'm replacing a 16 yo Jandy Stealth single speed 1hp. (For the cost of parts and coming from 4 or 5 different places.) I've decided to go with a Pentair Superflo 1.5 hp. Will this be compatible with my AutoPilot SWG, I mean, will I need to change the wiring in the AutoPilot? Everything is wired...

I have a 12 year old Tiger Shark that has performed flawlessly until now. I took a lightning hit last summer that took out my power supply. I just bought a used one and it is working...power goes to the cleaner, impeller turns and pushes out water but the cleaner will only move about a foot then...

This is all it would allow me to post...hope it helps. As you can see my filter is going to my heat pump,if this is bad I don't know. And my drain hose bib (very weak) is coming out of my pump. I want to hard plumb a line to my driveway 65' away with good flow...thanks!

I want to replace the hose bib on my return? line with a bigger, better flowing 11/2" line. I saw the pics of the one coming out the bottom of the filter housing. I have the same 100 sq ft filter but my heat pump is using that fitting. I have a hose bib in place but little pressure and was...

Split by moderator from HERE. I think this is going to warrant a discussion, so it should be in your own thread. Thanks, jblizzle I like it and would like to do the same but my drain plug at the bottom is being used by my pool heatpump...any suggestions? I do have a hose bib i'm using now but...

FC-6 CC-.5 PH-7.6 CYA-80 CH-310 ALK-80 BOR-50 SALT-3000 I have a strong chlorine smell that I just can't seem to get of. So I thought I would try a slam. The pool calc. calls for 398 oz liquid chlorine. My question is, what do I do about my SWG during the process?

Dan, thanks for the reply... I'm using Taylor K2006

Thanks for the replies. Pool is sparkling clear. Here are my numbers today: FC-7.0 CC-0.0 PH-7.6 ALK-80 CYA-75 SALT-3000 CH-310 BORATE-50 I NO LONGER SMELL THE CHLORIMINES OR CHLORINE SWG STILL AT 0% Seems like it's taking a long time to drop the FC. Should I be at about 6 on the FC?

My FC was at 4pmm CC 1.0 so I shocked with the powdered stuff, 1 bag FC went up to 8.0 CC .05...so I added another bag. Now FC 12.0 CC 0.0 I turned my SWG to 0 and it's been 4 days and FC 10.0 CC 0.0 but I smell Chlorine in the air in early morning when pump is not running, and I smell it on my...

Thanks to all for the replies...I feel more comfortable about it now.

I have recently purchased a Taylor k2006 test kit and all seems to be going very well thanks to all you kind and knowledgeable folks here On TFP. I wanted verification on my test results so I went to my local pool store and here's what I got. My test: FC-7.6 CC-0 PH-7.6 ALK-80 CH-250 CYA-60...

thanks, Jason...yes I have a weir - - - Updated - - - thanks, Richard. Open it is!

Hey guys, I have a Jandy valve for my skimmer. As I stand by the skimmer basket I watch as some debris floats past as some gets sucked into the skimmer. If the debris is hugging the wall it will go into the skimmer. If it's 2 or 3 inches away, it floats by. Now, when the pool was installed 10...

Pooldv...thanks this is just what i needed.

Richard320, thanks...my problem is not age, unfortunately it's comprehension...you're right the lines are very close together. Yesterday I put it at 100 with my k2006, took a sample to the pool store and they got the same. Checked again this am, after a 3" thunder boomer last night and it was...

The CYA is at 100 at the present.

I'm chlorinating with SWG...I just got my Taylor k2006 today. My pool store is the reason my CYA is so high they calculated last week to add 6.8 pounds. Where do I need to be, 80 or less? So, a couple 000 gallons?

SWG: chlorine levels...FC=4.8 CC=0.4 TC=5.2...CYA=100 ... TA=100...PH=7.6... CH=280...What exactly do I need to do here to get these #'s balanced? thanks

I just went thru the same process with my pool. The cloudiness in mine cleared as the chlorine reached about 3ppm.

thanks tim5055.

I've never used an adapter plate to vacuum my pool. Actually today is the first time I've seen or heard of one. Anyway, does the plate fit to the bottom of the basket, or just wedge itself in the basket? dumb question, huh? The bottom of my basket is 6" and the smallest I find is 7 1/4. I don't...

got it thanks

Okay, I've changed the power setting to level 1 at 20% and my FC is still high after 2 days. Should I go to level 2 and a lower %? thanks
