So I took it apart this morning. Best I can tell, the riser pipe is rusted shut. Unfortunately, they used two sections instead of one to the burner and of course only the 3" nipple on top unscrewed. Cant get wrench on lower section without lifting the cauldron off the pipe. There is the next...

There are two features and the other one gets gas so no valve is off somewhere else. The stem is turning freely. I'm thinking maybe the burner has corroded shut since the valve turns so freely. Will remove all the glass and see what I can see this am.

Hi and thanks for any responses in advance. I have two waterfalls with a natural gas fire feature in center of each of them. You can see in the pic attached. On one of them, the gas valve won't open even thought the brass handle turns the valve all the way open and closed. I haven't had the...

This house was new to me in 2017 and pool built 2014. Previous owners had allowed the shaft bearing on pump to leak for a long time which I finally fixed last weekend. Ended up replacing the motor since the old one had a completely corroded case from leaking for so long. Put it all back...

thanks. I have the upgraded test kit just haven't updated signature. CYA is at 50 now but was high last summer and I was fighting it.

One of my skimmer lines barely moves water at all unless I close off the other skimmer and main drain valves. I was thinking it was clogged and used a hose bladder to run water both directions and didn't get any debris out. However, I did determine their is a substantial amount of "mung"...

I also have a Ozone generator on the pool...if it matters. Do those help at all? Should I be ignoring the pool stores fascination with phosphates? I have so far...... don't like the idea of pouring mud into the skimmer and turning the filters chocolate brown.

Ok...so I ordered the FAS-DPD kit. I guess I'll put in a gallon of chlorine tonight and run the filter to try to manage it until it gets here.

Signature below now. The lights have a silver ring around them with holes in them and one screw at top. Remove the screw and light and wire can be pulled up to side of pool and the receptacle cleaned out?

Putting signature in now... question on test kits. I have a full kit made by Taylor but it is branded for Leslies Pool Supplies. On the apparatus for testing clorine/PH.... it only gives you a scale up to 5. So I'm basically guessing after that and just using the math on amount of Clorine and...

So, reading those posts, even though you go through a shock/SLAM you are saying that any algae still in the pool will continue to grow and perpetuate problem? I thought the chlorine was supposed to kill it and even if some left in some random spot, it would be dead on not be able to grow. How...

Thanks, those tests are from pool store but I have my own test kit also which is how I initially discovered by CYA was way over 100. I've read those posts but will read again cause clearly i'm missing something. I had chlorine at above 20 for a week and still didn't get water clarity back and...

So my pool has been crystal clear for a year until about a month ago. Had very heavy rain storms that turned the pool cloudy and was getting Algae growth every couple of days. I shocked the pool twice and was not clearing up. Had been using tabs for a year so determined my CYA level was way...

About a year into house with a pool that I am maintaining. Had a pool before but hired service...this one all on me. Heavy rains over last week and pool extremely cloudy. Have been fighting algae growth past 5 weeks or so and have only been using the in-line chlorine tablet dispenser...
