Quick newbie question concerning the FC level. Since it is clean, clear, and algae free, why do I need to double the ppm from what I currently have? - - - Updated - - - No, I don't think so. I am using the basic regular 4" pucks in the chlorinator tube.

Ok, so per multiple recommendations I purchased the TF-100 pool test kit. Spent a little while reading the instructions to this chemistry set and then performed the various tests with the following results: FC = 3 PPM CC = 0 TC = 3 Calcium harness = 175 Alkalinity = 80 CYA level = 75 ph =...

...well, when I have time I will start swapping the parts back to the original ones, and when it stops functioning again, I will know that was the issue. I will start with the flame sensor. Once I isolate the bad part, I will know I have a box full of replacement parts for the next time this...

Welcome! I live Southeast of Birmingham :D

...ok, so, my issue has been resolved, but I still have no idea exactly what was wrong. Looking back, I should have replaced each component and then checked to see if that was the issue and then moved on to the net one, however, I just simply ran out of time and had limited time to get it...

Ok...so I just ordered the TF-100 and a digital pH meter...but someone is going to have to point me to a link that provides me instructions and how to interpret the data this thing provides. - - - Updated - - - Oh...well, I guess I need to remove the sand when I check/replace those so I will...

Thanks for the manuals! I will take a gander though them and see what I can learn about this pain in my arse. BTW, I ordered new flame sensor, main board, and vacuum switch last night and will be replacing those tomorrow to see if that resolves my issue...

Ummm...what are "laterals"? I have a possible "laterals" problem? I think that is a football term, but I need to confirm with the wife... :drown:

Well...ya just burst me little bubble...but actually it is what I have suspected. Now for the rest of the story... Prior to purchasing the house we had the home inspection and the pool inspection. The pool inspector was really good and taught me a lot about my systems, but not much about the...

Ummm...I am not sure. Is that something external or built in?

Sorry guys...model is a Hayward H400FDN

LOL...thanks guys. I found a problem with the can (tube?) tablet chlorinator valve and fixed it so I am now getting a good steady dose of chlorine. However, I have a secret...I found a reputable pool service company and paid them to get it balanced and stabilized. I am wanting to learn more...

Hey guys, my wife and I just bought a house and one of the requirements was a pool (although we have never owned one). We found the perfect house which had an in-ground gunite Roman pool. It is much larger than we anticipated (18ft x 40ft and 9.5 ft deep under the diving board), but we have...

Hi folks...new to the forum and yes, my first post is a problem/answer searching request. Fear not, I am not one of those guys that joins for an answer and then disappears never to return the favor. I join forums when I have a product and then only leave once I sell the item. Since this house is...
