got it - will SLAM it out first (makes sense) Also I never updated pool math to type of sanitizer being SWG - makes it much easier understanding it all! Thank you again for your help!

1.5hp century pump - single stage. I will bump up the FC and the CYA levels to what they should be at and increase run time. From there, how do I best determine what % to run the SWG at for routine usage?

It seems they were talking about the standard pool pump. I'm thinking their statement of "it went away after running the pump" was more-so happenstance from the water table lowering itself and the pool liner resetting itself naturally. When replacing liner they noticed there was no well...

Hello, Will start off with an apology for the word dump, but could use some help/guidance! I just had a pentair, intellichlor IC40 installed, (about 4 days ago) and am working to get the balance correct in the pool. 1) I am noticing now a cloudy haze near the shallow end in my return, that...

How effective are pumps at managing a high water table? My brother in law recently moved into his house, and after opening the pool this year found the liner floated and was dealing with a higher water table. Previous owners said they typically ran the pump for a while and the issue would go...

I've been doing the steps above, just with the added lowering of the water levels. Assuming its water table related then and will fill and see how that solves out. Also will probably stop doing that with my pool then too.......

I helped out with closing this out. Water was lowered here right below the skimmers so no water was going in. I do the same in mine and never had an issue with liner creasing. Everything I see / read when looking at says it should be dropped 3-6" below the skimmer as well. If closing out...

Next week I am scheduled to have my liner replaced. Shortly after I plan on adding a SWG. Pool will be filled with water from hose, and I am assuming then get my pH, TA, CYA, CH and CC/FC in line with regular liquid chlorine once it is filled and running the pool as if it was "opened"...

Just updated the post too. I did a full upgrade on it (mounting plate, seal plate, impeller, shaft seals/gaskets, diffuser, the only original piece remaining was the wet strainer housing Original pump - Hayward SP1607Z1M, 1 hp replaced with Century 1.5 hp UST1152. Also replaced all drive...

All, Hoping someone can help here. I posted recently about needing a new pump, and went the route of replacing the motor and parts instead to save a bit. Ordered replacement motor and drivetrain setup (all mounting plates, seals, etc) last month, and then last week found the impeller fused to...

Thanks! I checked into it, but going the less expensive route for now...... Keeping the wet assembly and adding a 1.5 hp upgraded motor and had to get the new drivetrain for it too..... should run really smooth once it all gets hooked up!

Alright, i know the time was going to come sooner or later, but time has now come where I need a new pump. Coming to the end of my slam when opening, the pump is making a very loud grinding noise, and is very warm to the touch - I believe bearings are shot in the unit and theres a lot of...

Kind of what I was thinking too. I know calling in someone they will say "replace now" because they want the cash. I can't necessarily see the pool "exploding" and its held water this long, so what's one more. Just don't want any high risks that will cause bigger headaches come June....

Hey folks! Hoping you all can help offer some guidance. We moved into a house where the pool hasn't been used in 5+ years. Thru this site I was able to get the swamp cleaned up, and have some crystal clear water for 2 seasons (although both seasons we have had our fair share of fixes/issues...

Love this site. Moved into a home last year with completely abandoned pool, and I had little to no knowledge of what to do with it. Turned it around to get a few swims In last year, and this year it's gotten even better. Pool has never been so clear, installing outdoor lighting, and...

Thanks - this is first year I have been able to have pool opened this early. Last year took a bit of a cleanup getting there. Will keep an eye on it.

Hey all - noticed a weird spotty film on surface of water yesterday. My skimmer net broke but using leaf net only seems to break it up more. I threw a skimmer sock on but that didn't seem to do the trick. Not sure if this could be resolved with DE in the filter, or if this is something that...

I have my info in my signature, I thought it was automatically adding - am I missing something?

Thanks! Morganville is Central New Jersey. I understand open early close late and plan to get as much use of the pool as I can!

Hey all, New homeowner, first season going to close the pool. Previous homeowners left the pool uncovered, and it was a pain getting the pool in swim condition (although I think that was due to more years of neglect/non-use) I know no one really wants to talk closing the pool now, but trying...

Funny you say that as I was just thinking that now as I looked at some that was on the steps and it is algae not sand. Will keep brushing and vacuuming!

I vacuum daily and sweep daily as part of the SLAM process (to the best of my extent, although had a 2 day break in it due to work travel out of state), also removed as much of the organic matter as I could, however still find some around in the pool as the clarity originally was only about a...
