Just had second set of Jandy Hydrocool lights replaced under warranty. First set one of the lights was somehow corrupted and no Longer water tight. It quit working within a week of original install. Second light was installed end of last season and appeared to work fine. However, must have been...

Lubricated seal, still bubbling. Turned off SWG, that stopped it. It was set to boost as we had had a bunch of kids in there. Thanks for the help. Tim

Good afternoon all, New pool installed last year. Generally it’s been smooth sailing. Yesterday afternoon noticed that pump basket was half empty and there were small bubbles coming out of return. Cleaned skimmer basket. Also cleaned pump basket. I actually did not know that this basket had to...

Thanks for the replies. With respect to why salt levels might be high, I added a few bags this spring on the assumption that when the pool builder set up the pool last fall they brought the levels to around 3000 ppm. based on the amount of water I had to add, and that salt was at 3000 ppm when...

We had new pool installed last fall, and immediately began operating it using the TFP method. This spring was my first pool opening, which appears to have gone off without a hitch. Well, maybe one little hitch. Brought water to proper level for pool, and then tested water and added chemicals...

question about setting SWG. Initially had it set at 60%. that was giving me a constant FC of 21. turned it down to 40% as recommended by manual and that seems to give me a constant FC of 19.5. If I am aiming for 4-5, I suspect I will have to drop this down to 10%. Is this right that the SWG...

Hi all, quick update. Pool is now up and running. blue and clear. Now trying to get my water balanced. have been following SLAM to clear the pool. It is now crystal clear and blue and tonight will run an OCLT tonight. most recent test is: FC: 18.5 CC: 1 PH: 8.0+ (it needed drops of acid...

Thanks for tip re FC test. I have the pool math app installed on my phone and have played around with it. I have also fiddled with the pool math page on this site. Recommended levels page has also been studied. Hopefully it all sinks in. tim

My Taylor 2006C arrived yesterday evening. used the kit this morning and got the following results: FC: 10.4 CC: .6 PH: 7.9 Alk: 60 CH: 50 CYA: 35 High FC was expected. Pool builder had their tech out yesterday to vacuum and clean the pool. He told me he was going to shock the pool. I...

Update: - I could not find out what the Stab & Cond Plus contained. Why they were bright blue will have to remain a mystery. Those have been garbaged. - I purchased stabilized chlorine pucks by "Aquarius". ingredient list is "Trichloro - s - Triazinetrione: 100% with 90% available chlorine...

Alrighty then. I will remove the pucks for the time being until I can find out what they contain other than CYA. If i don't find out tomorrow I will get another CYA product that contains an ingredient list.

I do not know if they are trichlor. their is no label that states what they contain. product is "Stab & Cond Plus". imported for "Perfect Logic" from Quebec. the pucks are light blue in colour. Link to the product: Stab/Cond Plus - Leisure Industries

If I jump in my 7 and 9 year olds will get in - no way they won't get in if they see someone else is getting in. They just don't listen to me enough to not get in. Nothing I could say would prevent it. I'm weak and they know it. And they are filthy kids, constantly rolling in the dirt for one...

and to further propagate the stereotype, I have been using a hockey stick to help mix in the chlorine.

I picked up some stabilizer/conditioner in puck form. I also picked up one of those floating dispensers to put the pucks in. 1 puck is supposed to increase stabilizer by 20 ppm per every 10000 litres. I put five pucks into the dispenser, which as my pool is 15000 gallons (56000 litres), I...

Darn it. all the local pool shops appear to only sell CYA in granular or in puck form. I'm guessing neither form should just be tossed into the pool and left to sit on the bottom. is there a safe way to use CYA in sold form in a pool with no circulation?

Alright, here's my situation. in the process of having an in-ground 35 leisure FG pool installed (listed as 15,000 gallons). It has been filled to just below the skimmer for a week and a half or so. last week i started adding a jug of 10% liquid chlorine to the pool to hopefully maintain its...

Information has been added to my signature as requested. I added a gallon of kemtek 10.7 % liquid chlorine. Was at Walmart and they had a blue label Great Value bleach that was only 4.25% liquid chlorine for laundry, and a Great Value green label that is sold as a disinfectant at 7.4% liquid...

I am in the process of having a Leisure Eclipse 35 fibreglass pool with SWG installed. Hole is dug, pool is in place, backfilled, and pool is filled to within 4 inches of the skimmer and jets. It has had water in it to this level since last Thursday. The equipment is not yet functional and I...
