I am replacing my pool pump and with the existing plumbing setup I will need to remove and replace plumbing back through diverter valves on the suction side. Is there a specific reason to use the larger diverter valves like the Pentair ones I have pictured or would it be ok to use any PVC...

I believe it to be correct. I use the TF test kit. I had a lot of liquid chlorine and obviously put too much in at one time. I believe it was 20 gallons. It also hasn't been very sunny in the last few days so I don't think I am losing too much during the day. Anything else you can think of...

I was looking into replacing an old sand filter and was considering a cartridge filter. The only issue is my equipment is setup under my deck and the space is limited. Does anyone have suggestions for getting a cartridge filter in a max height of 60 inches where I could still open up and pull...

Ok, I have some pics to try to illustrate exactly whats going on here. When the pool is off there is no water loss and no water collecting into the yard. The difficult part here is the large concrete area outside the pool so I can't just start digging. The pictures: In any picture I've...

I opened my pool today and got everything started. After pulling the cover off the pool the water level was high (just about top of skimmers). After about 45 minutes of the pool running I noticed the water level was about 1.5/2 inches lower. Then I noticed a portion of my lawn which is a low...

Relatively new pool owner here just looking for help on a few general items. First, I have an intermatic dial timer. The timer works just fine but when I put on the trippers the dial stops where the trippers are but doesn't turn on/off. It doesnt trip the on/off switch but simply stops the...

I'm using the TF100 kit. Last results from yesterday: FC - 5.5 CC - .5 PH - 7.5 AK - 100 CH - 200 CYA - 40 I dont think its a chemistry problem. The debris isn't something that builds up over a few days. After cleaning it appears fairly quickly so I was thinking maybe its from the filter...

I keep getting debris build up on the bottom of the pool. Here is the scenario - Pool is clean then I run the pump. After a few hours I'll start noticing some debris on the bottom. I'll clean the pool with my robot and/or my manual vac then by the next day more debris on the bottom. Here are...

So my FC is finally down to 6 today. FC - 6 CC - 0 PH - 7.5 TA - 90 CH - 200 CYA - 40 Salt - 3300 Any recommendations?

Its crystal clear.

Just purchased the TF100 testing kit and I am testing my pool for the first time. Based on some very bad information from the pool store my stuff is all out of order. Here is the result of my first testing: FC - 30 PH- 7.5 CYA - 50 TA - 100 ( not sure if this is correct as the solution is...

Thanks!

I am new to the forum and was hoping to get help with a vacuuming question. I am vacuuming to waste due to use of floc (I know from reading everything here that is not recommended but either way I have already done it). My system is setup with two skimmers and vacuum port. When vacuuming I...
