Joy, thks for the input.....I did not know much about the cyclone, the PB said they just pout them in and my friend in the area says they help keep the filter clean so I just went with it. It does make sense to replace the ball valve so I'll definitely do that when I get back in town and check...

I’ll definitely check it out when I go back. It’s my house in AZ. I thought my equipment was listed but I’ll update it. I use the Taylor test kit Appreciate your input

OK.....Thanks for the response.....I'll double check it when I'm back there.....but there was no leak that I saw at the ball valve and no moisture around the area. If I can't find a lease do you have any other ideas as to what could have caused this? Appreciate your help

Hello everyone , I went to clean out my cyclone( I think that’s what it is called ) and saw this ? Can anyone help me out as to what may be causing this? My pool is 2 years old. Appreciate your help

Well, I’m by no means a perfect pool owner, but I have two pools, one in so cal and here in AZ ,and would like to think I have followed the testing procedures correctly for years now. But who knows, maybe my head has been up my Rear :unsure: while I’ve been testing :ROFLMAO: I’m going to order...

Thanks for your input. I’m gonna order some new refills n see what/if that has any effect

So I just tested again with the distilled water 50/50 mix. It took 42 drops to turn blue. So I thought my CH was 1050. Then I realized you said double. So that makes my CH 2100? If this is true what should my next steps be? Or could I have possibly messed the test up? I doubled checked my tap...

Tin, I haven’t changed my location yet as I’m in calif for another year or two , I’m only at the AZ house about one weekend a month. I will def change it once I’m out of there for good.

Joy, I hear you on the water reports from Buckeye as I looked at that long ago. I did get my water sample from the hose Bibb out front. I do realize that number is low but I ran it twice and got the same number. I ordered my refills from TFP this year so I’m assuming they’re good. But that’ll...

Mk. Thank you will go get distilled water n try that.

Hoping someone can shed some light on my issue, The last few times I’ve tried to do my CH test I’m having a difficult time seeing the blue end point. Sometimes I think it’s there ,it’s very faint, sometimes the test goes clear without even seeing any hint of blue. I’ve researched on here and...

Gene, Thank you, maybe thats my problem, is that I'm seeing purple and not blue. I'll do more testing when I return there in a few weeks.....appreciate your help

hello again, sorry for the delay just got back out to AZ ill have to wait a few weeks to do the drain in order to get my cya in-line. There’s a lot of landscaping going on near me and too much dirt in the curbs , it’d create a mess. so until then , 1) no need to mess with the low ch until I...

newdude, thanks so much for the info. Appreciate it. Any thoughts on the CH issue?

Newdude, appreciate the info. So if I understand your method , I filled to the 7ml line with pool water, then topped it off with tap to the 14ml line. Then dumped back out to 7ml n topped off with the R0013. If that was right the result was 60. So I retested the regular way and it was 120...

Hello everyone, So our pool in Buckeye,AZ( near Phoenix) just got finished. This is a second home and we weren’t there when it was filled a week or so ago. The builder did the start up chemicals. So I tested yesterday and today and here’s today’s numbers FC 6 ph 7.6 TA 100 CH 90 CYA 100 Salt...

Ajw, thank you 👊🏻

Hello everyone, So we just finished a 17 month pool build , don’t get me started on why it took that long. So my question is how to add a second pool to my profile ? My profile pool is at my home in so cal, and my new pool is at our home in AZ. I have a few questions to ask the pros but I want...

Mknauss.....thanks for the quick reply....I did figure ph would be a issue thats why I was contemplating a acid dosing system....but if your opinion a weekly pool service won't be sufficient I guess I better get an acid dosing system up and running.....appreciate the water softener thought, I...

Hello everyone, we are almost done with our pool build in the Phoenix,AZ area. It's a retirement home that we will visit every other weekend. My concerns are keeping up with the chemicals, especially during the summer months. It willl be a SWG pool/spa, pebble tec finish, if that matters. I was...

Thanks for the info. I have not been able to find the price for just the control box as of now. I'm just hoping if I get the new one it doesn't have the same thermistor problem, or at least not as frequent as my old one.... Thanks for the reply

Hello everyone, Here's my question, I have an approx 10 yr old Hayward Aquarite SWG system. I've had to replace the "flying saucer" , like a lot of you, part on the control board about 3 times during this span. I need a new T-15 cell they are about $500. I can get a complete new unit that has...
