Hi Everyone, My old pump had lost power and getting noisy so I replaced it with a new 2hp pump (was 1.5hp). The problem is the filter would not fill and no pressure. The new pump is doing the same thing. It does not prime properly so I think suction line leaking. Ran a new pipe from the pump...

No disconnected

Nothing broken or clogged and motor runs fine

Hi Guys, I have a friend with a Sta-Bilt 3/4 horse and it will not prime. The pool is full to the overflow, I have check all fittings nothing loose or cracked. Line from skimmer not stopped up. I removed the cover and the discharge line. Filled the pump and turn it on. It pumps very little but...

Thanks for the help.

Split by monderator from HERE. Please start a new thread for your own questions. Thanks, jblizzle Hi Guys, My problem is that 1.5 years ago I had the same problem with CYA. I drained the pool and got it fixed. I always bought 65% non stabilized chlorine after that problem. Now the pool is green...

it is only 3.5% and $4 a gallon

Here is my on going problem. The only chlorine available here is trichloro and that is running my CYA up. What I don't understand for, 4 years I have had no problems to speak of and changed nothing . This year I have drained and refilled the pool and kept the levels where they should be and...

What is Shock Level? That is a new one on me. Could not find it in the pool school.

Filter is doing fine. PSI about 8-10 and backwash at least once a week.

Still need help. As you can see I made aerators and installed 6 weeks ago. All my numbers look fine to me but my pool is still green. This is getting very frustrating and expensive. Can anyone help. Readings this morning FC 13.2 CC 0 PH 7.6 TA 120 Cal 225 CYA 60

Hi zea3, Here is the hard part to understand. We have the hardest water in the world here I think. The calcium stains everything so why it is low beats me. I will look for calcium chloride/calcium dichloride but doubt it. Ordering things to send here is cost prohibitive shipping is high and the...

Hi Dave and zea3, I am not offended at all I just don't want to mess up. I have been reading the Pool School and understand what my readings should be but thay are all over the place and here in Costa Rica (by the way we lived in Whitsett,NC for 35 years before moving here) there is so littler...

UP Date Things were looking good. I had 12 bags of salt on hand but that only brought my salt level to 2000. Now there is no salt to be found here maybe for a month. My ph and everything is fine but I have to add chlorine. I added 10 gal 0f 3.5 clorox but that only lasted for 1 day at a cost of...

Drained and filled the pool. Drained all but 4" of water. Killed algae with bleach. Test results this morning FC/CC 0 PPM PH 7.2 added 2 drops of r0006 so it should need 1lb 5.5 oz of soda Carb. to bring it to 7.6 25000 gal TA 160 ppm CYA 0 PPM Is it safe now to use trichloro to shock...

Why will I have to do it twice?

Laundry bleach is very expensive here. I can drain the pool all the way down. This is the dry season no rain from Dec. until May.

Thank you. Will report back in a couple of days with updates.

I retested CYA and using 1/2 tap water it was approx. 105 X2=210ppm Thanks so much for your help. Now what do I do? I guess now I need to drain the pool but how much 1/2 ? Paul

CYA test when I did it and the pool store when doing the CTA the black dot disappeared before the solution was 1/3 to 1/2 the way to the 100ppm mark. On the outside of that chamber there is a mark 1.8 it was not quite to there. The chlorine I buy is triclor 90% and the is all that is available...

Hi all, I have a problem I can not fix. I have had this pool for 5 years and no problem. New SWG in Dec. It is green. I took a sample to the local pool store and they tested the water and said TA was low and sold me 4kg of sodium bicarbonate to put in over 4 days. The ph was 7. Over the past...

The cell is 3.5 years old and the display shows 2900 salt. No he has not had the salt checked. Can the cells be rebuild?

I found a neighbor that has a Aqua Rite and wanted info from him but his quit working. I told him about this great site but he does not do computers. He said his check cell and check salt light stays on all the time. He cleaned the cell as he alway does and added salt just to see. Is there a way...

I am new and want to install a SWg, 25,000 gal. in ground. What would be the best, most economical and best place to purchase. I know this is a personal preference for people. I am just trying to learn what to stay away from. I know all re-sellers will say theirs is the best. Thanks Taz
