    Pool Math App Update

    When I first started using the app and entering the size of jugs it was always at 128 oz. which is what I use. Now its at 30 oz. and if I try to change it the app shuts down? Tried rebooting the phone and still the same problem

    Pump Not Working Green Algae

    I've reached the twilight zone. I'm updating my numbers in the TFP App and when I go to change the size of the chlorine jugs it shuts down, every time, so it's stuck at 30 oz. App expires on the 28th, any ideas or should I check on this someplace else?

    Pump Not Working Green Algae

    Odd, time to call an electrician. I went to check on the waterfall and tried the pump for the heck of it, it struggled, but turned on??? I've tried it multiple times over the past week and would get a humming, then at times it wouldn't do anything. I tried to clean it out and check inside...

    Pump Not Working Green Algae

    Thanks guys, I'll get on it. If I can't get the waterfall to turn on, yes, I may have that problem, I'm still troubleshooting, should I still just add chlorine and just brush? I would think yes, cant hurt. I'll post my numbers prior to adding chlorine. Thanks again, much appreciated!

    Pump Not Working Green Algae

    My pump stopped working and obviously the pool is turning greener by the day. It would not have been a problem except they shipped me the wrong pump and now I must wait till next Wednesday 4/29/20 before the replacement pump arrives. This is killing me watching my pool turn green as it has...

    POOL PUMP HELP

    So, I returned the pump to Amazon since I didn't hear back from them and ordered another with the help of Inyo pools. I just received a response from the Amazon seller stating if I install it myself that law doesn't apply to me? What sense does that make, especially the reason for the new law...

    POOL PUMP HELP

    Yeah, I have used inyo before, I thought that's where I bought my replacement booster pump but I can't find that record. So apparently, the Amazon seller shouldn't have sold me the pump and he should have stated that on Amazon's site where he is selling it? Thanks for the reply!

    POOL PUMP HELP

    Last week my pool filter pump wouldn't work, just hummed. I also have a pump for the pool sweep, both Sta-Rite. The pool sweep pump didnt do anything, no humming, nothing, I believe I replaced it about 2 years ago. The part # for the filter pump is MPRA6E-147L, I have a waterfall feature and a...

    Spots on Pebble Tec pool

    How do I know, besides a visual, if my stain problem is solved? I think I will be heading into week 4 of my stain removal quest, I really can't see any stains visually, is there a test to make sure? I've read the Taylor k-1730 or 1738? What would be my next step to this process, thanks for your...

    Spots on Pebble Tec pool

    Awesome, if nothing else it's a start. My CYA is down to about 45, FC is 5, all other numbers are in range. I REALLY appreciate your help and I agree, I do believe the deep end of my pool has a very lite greenish hue to it, I think the MA restored it to its original color when I applied, I...

    Spots on Pebble Tec pool

    Added vitamin c to water, poured it in the tool and it didn't seem to have any effect. At this point I'm getting frustrated. Let me retract a bit, I bought the stain kit from Jacks magic, test kit 2 seemed to work best from what I remember, but nothing obvious. I had a hard time with the kit...

    Spots on Pebble Tec pool

    Ok, very frustrated. I dont follow directions very well, thats a male trait right, throw away the directions and go for it. I received my spot remover attatchment from Amazon. So I really dont need to be honest but I usually wear my emotions and everything else on my sleeve, sort of an open...

    Spots on Pebble Tec pool

    i would guess my pool will flunk the overnight test. After getting my reading of CYA=70, which was an accident, I'm learning still, it's actually down to about 60 now after my wife overfilled the pool with fresh water while I was at work. Anyway, i added chlorine to get my FC to about 5 Sunday...

    Spots on Pebble Tec pool

    I basically follow pool math, I added chlorine but only enough to get to FC 3, I didn't realize about the chart and will add more tonight, thank you. And yes, I have used Algaecides, not sure of its contents, from HTH, the color was blue, so I assume it's what your talking about. This is awesome...

    Spots on Pebble Tec pool

    Long story short, life has finally slowed down and I'm taking an interest in my pool care again. I got to the point where I would do a visual check, didn't work out too well ;). So I have these dark spots mostly on the deep end, they appeared, spread and here I am. Finally, have my water looking...

    Newbie?

    Ive had my pool for about 10 years, so newbie to the fact that I never took much of an interest in maintaining it the correct way. So when things start to happen, test for chlorine, test PH, test TA, that was it. Then as kids entered college, life got hectic, test Chlorine. Then life got busier...
