I am going on vacation for 17 days. I'm looking for a cheap and temporary way to slow drip 1 gallon of muriatic acid into the deep end of my saltwater pool while I'm away. I found a cheapo battery powered pump to pull it off a few years ago and it had sacrificed itself to do it. For the life...

I tried plastic weld yesterday since it was in stock at a local store and I could get it quickly. After that cured for a couple hours now the leak is an extremely slow small drip. No one locally had plast-aid but I ordered it the same day you suggested and it is still on the way. I'll try...

What salt cell system would you recommend?

Hello, I have a Breeze BRZ540SGS2 system that sprung a leak in the salt cell plastic housing in November. I tried to patch it with Flex Seal and Flex Tape with no luck. I found the replacement part on a discount pool supply website for $95 but it is out of stock and I can't find it anywhere...

Thanks for the update. I'm going to hold off.

Thanks everyone

What digital tester have you found that works well? I've bought at least 3 and they always come up different Thank you

What digital tester have you found that works well?

Thanks for the recommendation. I have been doing the tests using my brain. The problem isn't my brain, it is my eyes. My color blindness has gotten substantially worse over the past couple of years. Making it difficult/ impossible for me to match water color results to the tables. I am now 100%...

Our 3hp single speed pump is on its last legs. We are looking at the intelliflo 3 vsf We are also interested in the automation side of things with smart app controls and we would like to keep everything the same brand if possible. I saw pentair has a chem monitoring system but I couldn't...

My wife is out of town visiting her mom for 2 weeks. I have very poor color vision. So, I decided to get a pool test from two different testing places. I took a giant glass bottle of water. Gathered from elbow deep in the pool. I live within 3 miles of both places. I took the sample straight...

Chlorine is 4. ph is 7.4 pool was last shocked with liquid Chlorine 3 days ago. All the other values looks good. Only thing I have done in the last few months is clean the filter but it isn't due to be cleaned yet. It is a SWG pool. For some reason when my wife and I were in the pool our skin...

It's ok. As Eeyore would say. Thanks for noticing me. I'm going to bite the bullet and take it to Leslie's.

Hello, Last May I got an error 10 on my polaris VRX IQ+. The cable that goes from the base to the cleaner in the pool had two very tiny holes in it in what looked like maybe a squirrel or mouse had bitten it just once. That bite cost me $360 at Leslie Pools to fix. As a preventative measure...

I read in the news this morning that thanks to a fire at some lab somewhere that there is a pool chlorine shortage. I have a SWG and I shock with liquid Chlorine. I saw a chart that the half life of liquid Chlorine is largely dependent on the temperature it is kept at. So, how long will liquid...

My motor drive block failed in my Polaris VRX IQ plus 2 months ago. The repair guy at Leslie's says that Polaris takes forever to replace parts. I'm still waiting. I call him every week. I sent an Email to polaris and no reply. That said, I still don't recommend.

I live in Bakersfield, CA... the entire town is dusty.

Yea, sorta... but my wife and I haven't been to a beach and I've cleaned the filter 3 times since we last went. We are the only ones that live here.

So, after days of brushing, doing waste water vacuum etc. and nearly giving up and doing a full pool drain. This morning my overnight Free Chlorine test showed no loss, the water is clear, and no CC. So, I took the filter apart to clean it and there is the sand substance on top of the filter...

I added boric acid last spring. Last night my Chlorine was 38. This morning my chlorine is 35. I've kept my Chlorine at 35 since Saturday. I've scrubbed with nylon brush 4 times a day. I've used pool blaster vacuum etc. Last night I 100% cleaned the cartridge filter. This morning there was...

My wife did the last borate check on the pool. Some how, she got that it is 90, not 60 like I originally thought. Could that cause some foaming on surface of the pool? I have no idea how the borate level is 90

Thanks, I'll start the slam as is. It isn't mid-summer or anything so pool isn't getting used at the moment anyway.
