Can i just assume this is the problem, and enact the cure to see if it works? Just askin

No I never have done this test, is it necessary with SWG filtering system? If it is I will have read, on how to do this

In years past the sediment would be there when I open the pool, I would get the water right with chemicals, then vacuum pool once and at the most three after brushing. And that would be it, but now it’s still coming back, after 4 cleanings. I have a salt water pool. Not sure what steps to...

Thank you very much, I have found the problem, It was an electrical connection, that i later found out that regular house current would travel through but current coming through the gfi was effected enough to trip it.

I find that you are confusing more than actually explaining

I have an inclosed deck. Had to climb through access door in the deck to access pump, sand filter. I am getting too old to be climbing through hatch doors and working in confined spaces. So I bought an in ground pump and put that and the sand filter outside the deck, above the water line...

This years start up was hectic, still is, I went through all the connections because I had something shorting out the gfi. Finally came the conclusion it was the aqua trol unit. When I plug the unit to the pump it shorts out the gfi. Is this a typical problem? unit is only two years old...

If there is a good way to go with out it, I would. Simply because my pool is less then three years old, and the top rails are bowed like crazy. They are not bowed because of people standing on them when entering pool either. It just happens over time. I have noticed though on my pool the top...

I drained my pool last year, around 4 to 5 inches below return hole. When I uncovered the pool this year it was 8 inches below, the level I left it. This was the first year I used a new cover that you spring load to the deck. It allows water to pass through it. I figured I would have more...

Thanks again, should I leave my chlorine feeder in the loop or take it out?

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I used the the litmus type test strips that came with the generator, it showed not a drop of salt. Looked to buy the salt test kilt k-1776, here on the site but only found it to be confusing and no actual kit to buy, it made mention of refill stuff for...

Thanks for all the help. I have so many questions about how to operate and deal with this system. Is there a section on tfp, I can go to to read about this subject? How would salt get into pool? My generator when bought , the paper work said to clean it, every three months but never...

Changing to salt this starting year. Have not installed it yet, doing some investigative work first. I have not even removed the cover yet. Wish I knew the proper questions to ask, but I don't have a clue. in the owners manual, it states that the pool's salt level should be, at optimal...

Yes above ground, not a problem for walking on. Such a little space. Problem is only that I know that it is going to develop holes. I could put a small patch over top of gravel just enough to cover it, then apply a bigger patch to seal. Maybe the extra layer would not allow gravels to...

I just thought i could try to get ahead of the problem, instead of going into panic mode when it rips open. Checked the area again and the area is not flat. I have put down insulation board and this material seems to be up and down smoothly, but this area is in the seem of two sheets, and I...

Three to four pieces of gravel have worked their way, to the underside of my liner. They seem to be in a straight line and extend three to four inches long. There are three or four high points on these few gravel pieces, that are seemingly getting ready to perforate the liner. I ordered a...

Has the format for the chart completely changed of late? When I select pool bath I get a thing that looks like a phone, with a screen that keeps changing! What is this and where are the instructions to use if this is what we are to use. And how can I find the old chart?

I had read somewhere that solar panels could increase pools usage time in pre and post season and raise temps of pool by nearly 10 degrees. So I bought four panels and installed them, but have not seen any pool warm ups like I had read about. If the pool water goes up one degree on a sunny...

Where is the chart that shows how much chemicals you are to add after entering test numbers, and target numbers. I had it saved to my iPad but when it kept showing the wrong info. I deleted it to enter the correct numbers. Now for some reason I can't locate it.

Send some of that saved money to help TFP to maintain its high standard of pool care information

Thanks for all your help, I know with this new information, I will not have to deal with a cloudy pool, for a long while, I hope.

Thanks for all your help, in this. It's nice to know the different options

Last year I found it funny when I asked about how to stop skimmer basket from floating out of place, I got the answer, I put a rock in mine. I guess this is the way to deal with it, but it makes no sense that it float out as it does. I liken it to buying a new car and you tell dealership that...

i was, for some reason thought that 4 was the number to attain, when dosing pool. How do I determine target numbers? Is it based off of cya numbers only? Does the amount of water in pool have anything to do with it? If I am to just go by the chart you linked, and not concern myself with...

Thanks for all the help. Especially the posting of pics. If I can see it I can do it. But talk me through it and I'll get lost. One thing I would like to ask. If I hook up another gauge as you did, what kind of gauge would I be buying, and after attaching the hoses and other gauge, how...

Is there a way to relocate the gauge? My equipment is below deck, and the opening I have to allow access to turn three way valve will not let me see the gauge. I have to use bifocals, flashlight, and a mirror, and read it backwards at present.

Anyone as dumb as who has used empty cya bottle as a transporter for bleach to the pool? An accidentally poured bleach into the partially filled cya bottle. Cya bottle had around 20 oz's in it and I filled it to the top with bleach. Fumes were so bad I ran out of the garage, the solution was...

Do you mean if I test the water and it says to add 10 oz, bleach to bring it up to 4, I should ad more than called for because it will eventually go down when I check it next time? I am thinking i don't know the proper process of keeping the chlorine levels where they need to be. Time to...

It was normal last night, I awoke sharply at 11 o'clock this morning it was at 2, I added chlorine, to bring it back up. Is this not normal, other than staying up late and getting up late? Should I bring levels up above 4 at nights end, to have more acceptable levels in the morning? One...

Left pump run all night on low. Numbers were still holding steady at noon FC was down to 2, everything else spot on, except cya continues at 30, we had a horrendous rain and believe this took it down to thirty. Water still hazy. Hopefully the water will clear on its own if I keep a close...
