Thanks Bama. I sometimes question my own readings.

FC and CC are perfect. The calculator says to add 222 oz by weight of Calcium chloride seems high to me. Am I overly cautious?

Had to pump the pool down four times in the last 5 days. Between the afternoon storms and Isaac the chemicals are off. PH = 7.8 Goal 7.4 TA 70 Goal 100 CH 150 Goal 300 CYA 30 Goal 70 Salt 2900 Goal 3350 Put the figures into the calculator. Needs attention. Quick check, what is the order of...

He said it was "5". I told him that makes no sense. When I arrived at his house he had powered down the unit. When I turned it back on The thing started to run and is still running. According to him, when he powered on the unit after an idle time of two weeks, it sounded like it was powering up...

Thanks I will check them out. I found a page with error codes on it but the error we are seeing is not there.

My friend has a Dream Maker SPA GLX-UHS-REC-SD-F. I have searched the net for a maintenance manual that will define the failure codes on the controller. The Controller is built be Balboa Instruments PN 53942-01 Inside the controller they have a RS80 number "system wiring diagram". Anybody have...

Re: **** Ducks I don't know if this will work for ducks but it works for sea gulls. Assuming your pool is a rectangle, Place a 10' pole at each corner of the pool so that at least 8' is above ground. Connect the monofillament line starting at top of one of the poles and run it to the top of the...

How about a concrete hole saw? They sell them at home depot. Maybe one of your friends has one.

I assume you are working wtih the Lumineux (LX-300). You need to place a switch i.e.(light switch) in series with the hot side of the xfmr. You will see on the xfmr that there are three hot terminals and one common/ground terminal. You will choose the correct terminal according to the...

Morning FC = 12. Added more bleach and brought it back up to 24. Will monitor it through out the day.

Schocking the pool FC curently at 26. Will leaqve the pump on all night and check in the morning. Thanks for the help. Will let you know what FC is in the morning.

Again using the pool calculator it recommends 415 oz to raise the FC to 20. Is this correct? :?:

I am having a problem with the loss of FC. I will bring up the Chlorine to 4.0 using bleach and the next day there is no FC at all in the pool. This just started about a month ago. Something is eating my FC. Water is clear. Since we have had a lot of rain over the past month, I have had to add...

Re: Does CYA get used up or disappear? definitive answer ple My two cents. I am loosing CYA due to the rain we have been having. I have had to pump down at least 8 inches of water from the pool over the past two months. I think the rain causes more of a drop than splashing.

Thanks to all I finally found a crack in it.

Thanks. I am going out to work on it again today. I did lube everthing and checked for cracks. Cannt see any but at my age I could be missing them.

So I have a neighbor who is a single mom with two kids. Her Hayward pump SP3010X15A is leaking. A causing a swamp between our house and hers. It looked as though the seal was leaking. She tells me that she cannot afford to have someone out to fix it. I volunteered to try and fix the leak. Went...

Ok I have a Aqua Rite Electronic Chlorine Generator / T-Cell-15. The manual says the salt level should be between 2700 and 3400. The question is with a spread of 700 is the optimum 3050? If so the pool school recommends "200 to 400 above recommended". So If the optimum is 3050 should I bring my...

It is truely wonderfulllllllllllllllllllllll.

When I moved in the CWG was set @ 50% (way to high ) the FC was off the wall. I cut it back to 35% and it was still to high So I cut it back to 30 %. Today I lowered it again to 20%. I use the TF100 XL test kit and I will perform the tests twice so I make sure I am not screwing things up. I...

Sorry guys FC = 10 CC = 0 As for the soda the calculator says to get a 75 TA to add 12oz of soda The water looks great.

Ok guys. I have been in this house now for a month. The current readings for the pool are TC = 10, pH = 7.8, TA = 70, CH = 270, CYA = 65, Salt = 3100. When I started the CYA was almost 0, I have been bringing it up little by little. Today I added 10 oz. of Muriatic acid and 7 oz. of...

Thanks guys. I kind of thought it was just a marketing thing.

I moved into our home two weeks ago. The old owner left som "Aqua Chem DE Media + Filter Aid". I backed washed my pool this past friday and used this DE to re-charge the system. I got curious about the "+ Filter Aid" claim on the box. I searched the web and every add says it is 100% DE. The...

Thanks I appreciate the info. Is there a particular brand that you use? The guy in the film was using Teflon Magic Lube. I searched the internet and found they make a silicon lube also called Magic Lube II.

I did read the info on de filters. I was just curious since my other pools were sand filters. I also saw a film on you tube of how to clean a de filter. The person in that film said "Do not use silicone lube but to use teflon lube". That is why I asked about lubricant for o-rings and gaskets. I...

I am not sure this is the right forum for these questions. If not can a moderator please move it to the right spot. How often do people take apart their DE filters and really clean them? Also what is used to clean the filters just water? finally what lubricant are people using today on the...

I believe I did that a while back. I did the same thing with my other pools. I think I suffer from OCD when it comes to the pool.

Hi to All, I joined this forum the other day and have spent many hours here. I recently purchased a house that has a salt water pool. None of the pools I have owned were salt water. I have found the information here extremely valuable. I just received my TF-100 extended test kit today. The...
