Thanks for the information!

I was feeling the same way. Really was hoping it came with a good quality seal especially with how much the pump cost, and I don't want to be opening up a brand new pump. Thanks for the information!

I am purchasing an Intelliflo3 VSF pump model #011078, and I am wondering what type of quality is the shaft seal that comes with the pump? I know a quality shaft seal is very important for the longevity of a pump, so I am wondering if I need to upgrade the shaft seal upon receiving it? I would...

Thanks!

When treating for mustard algae, am I supposed to do an OCLT test after I raise the chlorine level to 18 for 24 hours? I know I am supposed to do the SLAM process and once it passes all 3 criteria, I am supposed to raise my FC level to 18 with a CYA of 30. I am unsure if I do another OCLT after...

Here is a quote by Chem Geek back from May 3, 2010. "At the same CYA level, a higher FC level results in greater loss of chlorine from breakdown by the UV in sunlight. Also, the active chlorine (hypochlorous acid) concentration is higher so any reactions it is participating in for which it is a...

So, am I correct in assuming that since my FC was so high compared to my CYA that I can expect to see FC loss even at night? That the CYA not only protects from the UV rays but also protects FC at night from evaporating from the high night temps and it keeps the FC from trying to oxidize things...

I am a first-time pool owner, and my pool turned very green several weeks back. I'm pretty sure I was dealing with mustard algae. I have followed the SLAM protocol, brushed and vacuum daily, scrubbed behind my light niche, steps, etc. and now I have a crystal clear pool. The problem I'm having...

Thank you for your help! I certainly will order my refills from TFTestkits.net in the future. It's my first time owning a pool, so I've learned a lot of things the hard way. This site has been an invaluable source of information that has certainly gotten me on the right track. Thank you for your...

I'm actually still in the SLAM process. I have had the worst time with running our of testing reagents. I at first didn't have the FAS/DPD test kit and when I received it, I ran out of the reagent 0871 within two days. I received the 0871, but I've been waiting on more cyanuric acid for a week...

I keep getting this slimy, gel-like stuff in my pool along with what looks like to be little pods of something. I have actually squeezed the brown pod-like things and a little seed comes out. I have several plants and trees around my pool. Could this be something coming off of the plants and/or...

I am a first time pool owner and over the summer my pool turned a dark green color. I have been following the SLAM protocol, and I keep seeing these brown spots on the bottom of my pool. I brush and vacuum daily and they keep reappearing. I'm wondering if this means the SLAM method is killing...

I am having the same issue with my Pentair Amerlite Pool Light. It is model number 78454100. Here is a link to all the parts for my light. Let me know if you find a solution, and I'll do the same!
