The metal plate on the pump housing has 3105X7 with a serial number under that.

Thanks for the help. The pump itself has a union on the input side and it has flexible pvc from pump to the filter, so piping should not be hard. That will be handy if I just replace the motor as well. Everything is in a shed and I don't have alot of clearance behind the pump, so I'm not sure...

Thanks, any concerns with replacing a 3/4 hp pump with a 1 hp pump?

The pump housing says volts 115/230. The breaker for just the pump is a double ie it takes up two slots. Breaker itself looks to be 20 amps but the pump says 11/5.5.

I apoligize if this is a stupid question in advance but I need some help. I have an 18 x 36 inground pool, Heldor I think, and it's about 24k gallons by my estimation. It came with the house so I don't know alot about it. Anyway it was installed I think in the mid 90s. It has a richardson...

My FC is still dropping overnight. I went from 14.5 with .5 CC last night to 11.5 PPM, 0 CC this morning. My pool is looking alot better though. I added some more bleach to get up around 15 PPM. This is taking longer then I thought but progress is being made.

I added the bottle of bleach earlier, so I tested my numbers alittle while ago and it was back to 11.5. So I added another bottle and retested inside of 30 minutes and it read 15.5 PPM FC with no CC still. The water is looking clearer and I no longer feel any slime on my liner. I'll retest...

The calculator says 15 PPM for shock. So I added 182 oz of bleach. It said 174 or so, so the extra 10 oz or so shouldn't hurt.

The kit was very easy to use. I still need to see what my shock values are though.

Ok, I couldn't wait. FC 11.5 CC 0 TC 11.5 PH 7.8 TA 150 CH 350 CYA 40 Temp 50 brrr So my TA and CH are both higher then I expected. No biggie I don't think. I need to look at my CYA to get my shock levels. Time to plug all these numbers into the pool calculator.

My bleach usage has slowed down quite a bit. I tested last night and it was reading over 10 PPM, so I added nothing. This morning it was reading under 10 PPM, so I added 1/2 a large bottle. It was the remainder from the half bottle I added sometime yesterday. I tested 30 or so minutes later and...

Here is a picture from earlier of my deep end to show the cloudiness. It's not terrible in all honesty. Uploaded with ImageShack.us here is a picture of the stairs, so you have an idea of what the liner should look like. I expect the deep end to be clear like the first step. [/URL]...

The test at 3 PM today was 5 PPM, so I added 2.8 gallons, which should have gotten my FC into the area of 13. Will the water actually clear up? I have two returns pointing to the bottom of the deep end, so nothing is settling out of the water onto the bottom and I doubt my sand filter is...

Thanks, that's what I was thinking. I was around 3 PPM and added two large jugs, which would put me around 11 - 12 PPM, at 8 AM. 3.5 hours later my test still reads 10 PPM, which is top of the scale. I just added maybe half a jug, which will push me to a max of 15 PPM, unless my assumptions...

The pool calculator shows I should be around 13 PPM for shock if my CYA is 30. Based on the numbers I had this morning I think I'm just over 10 PPM and what i've added. My test strip has been holding steady at 10+ PPM and it's been 2 hours since my last addition. So my chlorine burn rate has...

My CYA level is about 30 PPM as best i can tell with my test strip.

Ok, I just did a test and it read 10 PPM about 1 hour after the last addition. I ran my finger over the liner on the first step and part of it feels clean and part had a little slime. So I brushed the pool again. I'll test my water again in an hour or so. I have a feeling I'll need to add...

I am shocking my pool with the method discussed in pool school for the first time ever. I always thought you just dumped in 3 lbs of shock and ran the filter :roll: My pool was a little cloudy when I took off the winter cover. Nothing major. It's been cloudy ever since I had the liner...

Yup, the sun finally came out this afternoon but I do have some CYA in my water from yesterdays additions, and my early morning FC drops were during the overcast period. I checked my FC levels at 3:00 and it was down to 5 PPM, so I added about 1.5 gallons of bleach. 3:30 reading was 10 PPM. I...

This is interesting. I added 16 lbs of Borax this morning and let it mix in. I checked my PH and it was around 7.4 based on my test strips. I added about 4.2 gallons of 6% bleach at 9 AM, this should get me to 10 ppm FC. I tested the water around 10 AM and my FC was 1 and my total chlorine...

TF-100 kit has been ordered. I read a post on algae and it mentiooned having a lower PH around 7.2 - 7.4. So I'll target that lower range when I add the borax. This should be interesting...

I have been using the pool calculator. That's what clued me into how much baking soda to use. I also got the Borax amount for my PH. I'll buy that tommorow morning. I read the test kit section and know I need to order a better quality kit. That will take some time, so I'm hoping to get the...

Basic details: I have a 18 x 36 in ground pool with steps, about 24K gallons i think. It came with the house, we bought the place in 1999, and I don't have a great clue about maintaining things. We replaced the liner last year, so the pool was refilled completely in late July. I found this...
