Started up and there was a trickle of water. Tightened with a rubber strap and... snap. One year old. I see that inyopools seems to carry an alternate brand? Custom Molded Products Union Kit for Pentair SuperFlo - 350157 - INYOPools.com Or I can get the Pentair one. My bigger issue is that...

Hi everyone, I closed my pool today 😭😭😭 So I cleaned out my new cartridge filter for the first time. It seemed like there was quite a lot of rust inside. Aside from the fact that the filter probably doesn’t want it’s bits rusting, I don’t think I want all this rust in the pool water. Thoughts?

This year I put handles on my old skimmer baskets so my wife didn't have to reach into the "stuff" to pull them out. They mostly work :ROFLMAO: Since installing them, however, I've noticed some grey slimy stuff on the handles, just above the water line. I figured it was algae-like stuff that...

I installed a new RJ-60+ this spring. It has been running for about a month. Last week I went out and switched on the timer manually to adjust the percentage (so I was actually out there when it turned on), and it made a loud grinding noise. My brain instantly linked it up and said "that's...

I just finished draining, replumbing, opening, and then salting my pool. All new pump, filter, SWCG, plumbing (and I think not too bad a job since I've never done this before). When I refilled my pool, I had brought it only up to the min of the skimmers. I normally keep my Autocover closed...

Hi All, I just opened my pool (yay!) and discovered some extra pieces the PB put in the skimmer basket... presumably when he closed the pool... though I suppose it is possible they were from something else... The only thing I could think is that they came from the skimmer... but I don't see...

I just opened my pool. Before I added any chlorine, I measured my pH at 8.0 using both my electric meter and the color match drop test in the TF100 Kit. I have most of a jug of 31% acid from last year To get it down to 7.4, Pool Math said to add 3 cups of 31% acid, so I added approx 3/4 quart. I...

I just re-did all of my plumbing (yay!). I haven't finished the heater bypass and the waste connection, but I could start up the pool with those positions closed off. Started up and no leaks! I came back and noticed some drips from the heater bypass 3-way. Later I noticed a drip from the...

Hi Everyone, I finally got a handle on my pool chemistry last year and realized my CYA was ~150. I managed this by maintaining a pretty high FC and that worked ok. This year I am changing to SWG (good thing considering how hard it is to find bleach), so I think I should lower the CYA. I live...

I know there is some debate about the efficacy of having an anode in the plumbing like this: That said, let's say I want to put one in "just in case" as part of my upgrades to my pump, filter and adding an SWG. Where should I put it? After the pump? After the filter? After the heater...

I'm getting close to doing my plumbing upgrades, so I'm trying to get all the parts in hand. Pic of current setup: Although I'd rather replace the old gate valves on my setup, they work fine and spending $150 to replace them with Jandy doesn't seem worth it at this point (even if it would mean...

Hi Everyone, I'm pondering some plumbing upgrades would like to solicit advice. I've attached a pic of the current system. 23k gallon pool, 2 skimmers, 1 floor drain (upper right), 1HP Pentair Pump (CFII-N1-1A/343233), 36 sq ft Pentair DE Filter (FLT FNS PLS 36), Pentair Heater, Chlorinator...
