I have a 2018 Sundance Peyton hot tub. It was out of service for several months due to a leak and finally got around to fixing it. Upon fixing the leak I now have a noise pump. It is a single speed pump (Century 6500-352). I suspect the bearings are bad due to corrosion after sitting idle and...

We have a single Hayward ColorLogic pool light with a manual outdoor switch. It was working fine and suddenly stopped staying on. It turns off after a handful of seconds or doesn’t turn on at all. incoming voltage to transformer is 121.4V AC outgoing voltage is 14.6V AC what should I...

I have been trying to SLAM my hot tub. It doesn’t seem to get up to SLAM level. After adding chlorine I close the lid and wait several hours to check and add more chlorine. I did an OCLT last night. I had 12ppm FC and 0.5 CC. This morning I have 9.5 FC and 0.5 CC. Do I have algae eating...

I am going to attempt some hot tub jet replacements as they may be leaking. After cutting out the insulation, what can I use to re-insulate that is okay to get wet, not damaged the plumbing as it cures, et cerera?

My TA turned red when adding 5 drops (red on first drop). I believe I have no TA. pH appears low (turned yellow). I had very high TA and pH and I seem to have overshot it. Can I aerate alone? What’s the best item to add? Washing soda? Borax?

Does anyone have some great DIY or off-the-shelf solutions for peeping sun and rain off my new pump/motor? I have a VGreen 165 and want to be sure I keep this motor in good condition by keeping as much rain and UV as possible off the unit to preserve it.

Hi everyone. I recent replaced my 1.5hp single speed motor with a new VSD motor. I continued to use the Hayward TriStar 3200X series pump with a 3210C impeller. I used the GOKIT as advised by InyoPools and confirmed by my separate online searching. At low speeds and occasionally at higher...

How can I safely, and cost-efficiently raise my CH to an acceptable level? What is a preferred level? Below are test results a moment ago: FC: 7.0 CC: 0.5 pH: 7.5 TA: 80 CH: 200 CYA (taken yesterday. i just started 0.25lbs dry via sock method): est: 25-30 * target is 30-40 (max) CH (Source...

Our pool has suffered from high CYA since we moved in. Prior to a test kit, Leslie’s showed it 150+ We drained 1/3 of pool 3 times in past months. We don’t use tablets but liquid chlorine instead. Pool pump broke and finally replaced. We want to slam but can’t do it as CYA shows 100. Can...

my pump and filtration system has no option to vacuum to waste. I was thinking to add a 3-way valve to my pump discharge side and use some sort of fitting to attach a 1.5-2”” flat hose, or similar. This would allow me to vacuum to the hose and direct it to my sewer drain. Has anyone done...

my pump is dead. It hand turns but won’t turn on. It hums. I replaced the capacitor. No dice. :( I think the pump portion is ok and hoping to find a suitable like-for-like pump to replace this one. It is 4 years old and previous owner let it get rusty and holes rusted through the casing...

I’ve heard putting bromine tub near chlorine pool is not a good idea. We have 3 kids and certainly people will go back and forth between the two. It’s what kids will do- even if it’s just for the jets of the tub. Is it true it’s not a good idea? I intend to use TFP method of bleach for pool.

if I implement a chlorine hot tub using TFP principle, how do I go on vacation? What do I do to be out of town for 1 week or even 2 weeks and not come back to a mess? I’ve been avoiding a bromine hot tub as I expect kids to go between hot tub and chlorine pool. I heard this will put bromine...

Recently purchased house with pool. Uses chlorine tablets via inline dispenser. tested at Leslie’s… yes I know I failed TFP! Phosphates was through the roof. >4000ppb CyA: 150ppm pH: 6.6 FAC: 2.8 TAC: 3.1 Was suggested to drain some water I drained more than 1/3 and achieved and stopped using...

I need to replace the o-ring which goes between the top and bottom halves of the filter cover/compartment. I just moved to this house and the o-ring is deteriorated and now leaks despite having the lid on tight. I can’t determine the part number. I would be very grateful for the...
