Hello all, I just go my Zodiac MX8 Elite and something feels off. I have a VS pump and the only way to get the timing even close (10 wheel rotations in around 27 seconds) is to have the VS pump running near full speed at 3000 RPM. I even have the flow keeper on the setting that should give it...

Hello all! I was looking to replace my pool pump which recently died and decided it might be best in my case to hire someone. The area is just too tight for my skill level. Pictures attached. I reached out to a few local companies and pool stores to get an idea of the cost to have a new one...

Hello all! I have attached a picture however I need to replace the seal on one of my Jandy valves which sends water to a water feature or to the spa. I noticed when the valve was in the position to turn off water to the water feature it would slightly leak from the water feature. What I need...

Hey all! I’m thinking about converting to a SWG but have a few questions. 1. Price to convert? On average what can I expect? 2. I have a heater. How does that play in? 3. I’m sure it will but I’m curious if SWG will help with having to add chlorine every day. Currently with liquid...

Hey all. So I admit I slipped up a little and the pool got away from me for a few days. We’ve had two frogs around the pool area and never thought much about them until we noticed these black dots in the pool near the steps. I cleaned them out and added some chlorine. The next day. More...

I feel like I’ve been adding liquid chlorine like every day. I’ll do an overnight chlorine loss test tonight but for now wanted to see how these numbers look FC:6 CC:0 TA: 120 CYA:40 CH:200
