Crud, I was trying to fix them also and undid what you did sorry. Can you re do that? Dan

If never heard of anything like this but it is REALLY hard stuff and all over the inside of the pump. It is also discharging a redness that looks like rust. It is not rust and I have acid washed, scraped and bashed most of it off and the paint surface comes out new underneath. Are these...

Thanks Great points. I'll look closer at the aquabot and check on the brushes. Ant more feel free to add. Dan

I have a 65,000 gal "L" shaped pool. It is about 65'L x 35'w x 8'D the deep end being in the Paw of the dog leg. the finish on the pool is pebble tec and it currently has a navigator that is just not cutting it. I am thinking of replacing it with a Robotic cleaner. Are there any issues with...

The filters are a pair of Pentair SMBW 72's (bottom manifold). I remove the the grids invidually from housing, Clean, Re-insert, then put the DE in through the skimmer. That is the only way I know. Is there a better way? I am still wondering if there might be a bypass line and a stuck...

Yes it can run with out the filter pumps being on. It is on a seperate thermostat controller as described. So I need to make sure that the pumps stay coordinated first, then check the filters for issues. I have been having another issue with my filters that I'm not sure is related but my...

Are you saying the solar is offline of the filter system and is drawing directly from the pool? Or Do you think there may be a pressure relief connection that allows for the filters to be by-passed if the solar pump is on when the filter pumps are not, or vise versa? If so it probably has a...

The problem is that there is a LOT of leaf debris getting into the boster pump basket in the basement. Being that it is after the filter and 2 other baskets, I can't figure out how it is getting there and it is showing up week after week and a lot of it. It did not used to have this problem...

OK so I checked the dedicated pump to the solar panels and it's basket was packed full of debris. Usually this basket is clean so I didn't think to check it earlier. It is located remotely in the basement. I checked the main pump baskets and they were fine. No cracks or holes. I don't know...

Residential. What will the blower do?

OK so I cut the hard line to the drain adn do not see any leakage yet. It has been a few days. There is still a lot of Gurrgling out of one of the returns and after doing a thorough vacuuming, there is still a fair amount of DE back on the bottom. Not visible until it is disturbed.

I believe the filters are on the same line. I turned each pump off separately and found pressure in each Skimmer, expect SK1, and all returns except R2. These 2 points have both been having difficulties of late. They do pressurize but take awhile. SK1 Has been lacking pressure with either...

I believe they are seperate as they each have there own heater and pump. If I was going by what I see in the equipment room, I'd say they are seperate. There is a Solar heating element that connects in somewhere. Is it possible that it gets combined under ground? I'll have photos...

I have a large pool with 2 pentair 2072 DE filters. They are the kind with the bottom manifold. So I have been having DE in the swimming pool issues when I clean the filters. There are no holes in the grids. The Vent tube is screened, yet the stuff still keeps pouring in. Very tired of this...

The CYA is high but I have pools with higher and they are fine. I would like it to be lower but will hold off till winter to do a draw down. The free chlorine has come down some and will continue to. The real problem I found today, was the filter. The Grid Manifold had collapsed which I...

Yes it is definitely plaster. The chunks are a little less than 1/4" diameter by 1/16" thick.

But my question remains. Can loose plaster contribute to cloudiness?

That was my thought today. CYA is high also at 110. The pool is 10000gal so I plan on 4 gal of NACL to bust it. Sound right? I put 2 gal in Friday and it helped but not enough. I'm going to turn off the tab feeder for a while and just go to liquid. I wish I could wait till winter to do it...

Pool surface is old. FC - 2 CC - 3

I am getting small pieces of plaster (and a lot of it) in the net. Further more the water is cloudy. Can this be caused by the loose plaster? Can too much metal in the water cause the plaster to flake? PH is 7.6 TA is 120 CYA is 110 CH is 2

Well i looked at it again today and made soem adjustments to the valvues and that seemed to clear up the issue by transfering more suction to the vac than the skimmer. This is a new pool for me and I guess due to the configuration, 20-25 PSI is normal for that filter?

I am having a problem with suction and cannot figure out what it is. The Pool is located about 15-20 feet above the pump and equipment. The presure on the Filter is reading 25. I cleaned the filter not to long ago and can't figure out why the suction has fallen off. Any ideas?
