Hi, my pump is down which means my salt chlorination is down too. Repair is scheduled for mid next week. My question is do you think I need to do more then adding bleach as needed to keep chlorine at the right level and run my Aquabot turbo T for 7 hours a day to keep things under control...

Hi, Having problems with my heat pump. It has been cycling on and off. Even though the setting would keep it on it turns off after about 5 minutes. Then about 5 minutes later it turns on again. Over and Over. There was no condensation coming out of the bottom even though this was going...

I cleaned my filter a week or so ago (which I have done at least 50 times now since I had the pool). This includes opening the filter, removing the manifold and spraying the grids to remove dirt and DE. Put it back together and add DE as have done in the past.....next day DE all over the pool...

Hi, wondering if anyone has replaced / installed a temp sensor Hpx2169 to determine if it is a DIY job or if a Pro is needed. I couldn't find any installation instructions anywhere so I thought I would post. Thanks in advance for any help.

One of the white hooks that the safety rope connects to broke off the side of the pool. Looking at it, it must have been installed prior to the backfill stage during pool construction. I assume there is a bolt on the other side which can no longer be accessed. I don't really care about...

I have 2 skimmers and a main drain that bring 3 1.5 inch pipes with union valves on each.....then the 3 pipes that together prior to the pump. I am changing the valves and was wondering if I should change the pipe from 1.5 to 2 inch where the 3 pipes come together. I also have 3 returns with...

Hi, When I close my pool I connect my compressor to the pump drain plug and push air into the system. I have 2 skimmers, 3 returns, and a main drain. I do not lower the water. The skimmer blow out first, one then the other. I blow out the lines, put a gismo in each close the union ball...

Hi, I've been thinking my pressure is a little high compared to the numbers I have been reading about on the site and thought maybe my filter grids (thought they were clogged) were the reason. So I removed the entire grid manifold from my filter to see what the pressure would be unrestricted by...

Hi, Is it possible to change a valve handle on the Jandy valves? 2 of the handles broke in half and the other 1 is cracked and will break soon. See picture to see what I mean. One more questions....and maybe it should be a different post, but is this the best way to connect these pipes...

do you need to premix this with water prior to putting into pool? Or can you just spread it around in the water from the bag?

The directions on the HTH algecide i have been using (to kill the bugs floating in my pool) says that i should add 3 ounces once a week for a maintanence dose to prevent alge. Since I am using it to kill bugs, not algea is there a problem if I add every 3-4 days instead of weekly? I believe I...

Hi, I've noticed these very small black bugs floating in the water. Any idea what kind they are? What caused them to like my pool, and more importantly, how do i get rid of them? I do have a solar cover which I think is not helping, but the cover is off each day while the kids are swimming...

Hi, I just opened my pool (northern NJ) this afternoon and was wondering if I really needed to shock the pool as I have been reading if all the numbers seem good. I know the CC should be zero, but the .2 could have been my imagination because the water did look clear with a little pink tint...

Hi, What is the difference between Total Alkalinity and Adjusted Total Alkalinity? I had my water tested today at the pool store and the TA was 75 and ATA was 54. My other numbers were CYA 70 TC, FC 5 PH 7.4 THardness 94 Salt 3100 Thanks to anyone who explains. I have the Taylor test kit...

Wit a salt water chlorinator is it better to run the filter during the day or at night? Or doesn't it make a difference? I am guessing that it may be better to run during the day so the new chlorine is being generated when the old chlorine is getting lower from the sun. 23K Vinyl Liner...
