Had to replace both the motor and the impeller. Thankfully it didn’t turn green and I’m ready for the holiday. Thank you all for your advice.

So I had an electrician come out and he said there is power - he could here the motor hum and suggested I get a replacement motor but it was replaced last June. Could it be the impeller?

That's what I figured! The GFCI is vertical albeit upside down. I have a little experience but my knowledge is limited and definitely not comfortable changing breakers, especially on this old panel. Thank you for your advice and response.

I don't seem to have power going to the motor which is on an an automatic timer, has a separate switch and a GFCI outlet. The motor was replaced a year ago and the timer 2 months ago. I reset the breakers for the pump and the light but didn't solve the problem. I also tested the GFCI but am...

I'm having my pool resurfaced and we're at the tile stage. I was going for a Mediterranean look; aqua blue pebble-sheen, white/off white deck, dark blue/cobalt water line tile. However, here in Phoenix, we have very hard water and I'm concerned the tile won't look good for long due to the...

Thanks for the advice. I've already tried muriatic acid and it didn't make a difference. Here in Phoenix, the water is really hard and the pool really old. I don't believe the algae is causing the grout to fail, rather the failing grout makes it easy for algae to grow and more difficult to...

The tile around the top of the pool is covered in scale and the grout is failing. Anything floating on the pool surface tends to collect on the scale and slimy, green/black algae thrives on the grout at water level. Nothing seems to get rid of either despite all the brushing and scrubbing. 1...

I thought it was a testing error also, so tested it twice. I haven't drained any and Phoenix does have hard water. We had a little rain overnight - less than 1/2 inch. CH has been around 300 for about a month now. It was much higher. Using the Taylor test kit. Yesterday's temp is probably...

Hello, The CH dropped from 300 yesterday to 230 today. Is this common? If so, what effects can it have, if any? Yesterday's numbers: FC = 5 pH = 7.4 TA = 100 CH = 300 CYA = 30 Temp = 80 I added 580 oz of 6% bleach to bring FC to 13 (I feel like I'm in shock mode all summer). Today's...

It's not a metal stain and it doesn't lift using a brush on a pole. I've spent 3 hours at the bottom on scuba literally scrubbing it off a couple of weeks ago. What's left are a few spots that I missed. I could put my tank on again and get down there but the water temp has dropped 12 degrees...

Good news and bad news! Good news is... the water is crystal clear; OCLT 0, CC 0. Bad news is... there are still spots of algae here and there. I don't know what kind of algae this is, just know that it does not come of with sweeping. Should I try shocking for mustard algae? Current levels...

Correct! I only run it during off peak times... I just can't afford to run it 24/7 summer or winter... so, I choose to run it as much as I can during off peak times! Peak times here in AZ are extortionate and I'm on a very, very limited budget. This summer has been a learning curve, plus...

I answered my own question :) - already added chlorine to bring the FC back up to shock level. I run the filter all the time over the w/e (Fri 8 pm - Mon 1 pm). Week days 12 hours during just off peak.

Thanks for the cheer! Exactly what I said to a colleague yesterday... I have too much invested not continue despite it being the end of season and most people are thinking about closing their pool. And, if there is one thing I'm not, it's a quitter. When I got home from work last night, there...

Thanks everyone! Yes, it's been a tough season. Not something I bargained for when I bought the place. It's Friday so, will do an OCLT tonight and will have the w/e to do what is necessary. Will keep you all posted. Thanks again!

I feel like I've been fighting a loosing battle all summer long. It's been one thing after another: several storms including one big huboob, then the pump burnt out, excessive heat & 16hrs of direct sunshine for months on end. The huboob left the pool in the worse mess ever then it sat for two...

I've never had a pool before so the PoolCleaner is the first cleaner I've had and I cannot complaint. It works great. Doesn't get hung up anywhere and cleans not just every in of the bottom but also every inch of the sides. It doesn't do steps tho. The service guy that sold it to me is a...

The container in this picture is not the same as the picture related to the quote. This one contains more than 10g, correct?

Thanks! I already have plenty of R-0003 in the kit purchased from Leslie's. I'd asked for the Taylor K-2006 but was sold a lesser one which didn't have the 870 & 871.

I purchased the reagents 870 & 871 from tftestkits.net but there were no instructions with it and I don't have a scoop. What is the measurement of the scoop? Maybe I can improvise! Thanks,

Do you have a sand filter? I was getting sand at the bottom of my pool a few months back. Played havoc with the auto vac. Couldn't think where it was coming from. Although we had not had any significant winds, I thought it was coming from the desert landscaping surrounding the pool until I...

Thank you everyone for your advice & support. @ Chuck... thank you for the humor - POP I have, a lot... time I don't :) Working all week means I only have enough time to maintain status quo so, I will have to wait till next weekend to start this process again. Hopefully, the other reagents...

Disturbing? Yeah! What's more, the store doesn't even stock the one I requested nor do they stock the R-0870 & R-0871 although, it's all on their website. So frustrating!! My pool's been out of action for 10 days, it's taken me a week to get this far and I'm still not even on the starting block!

I checked and my kit does not have 870 & 871 but, now I realize, I was sold a different kit. It's not the one I asked for and what I thought I purchased. It's actually this one... http://www.lesliespool.com/Home/Pool-Ch ... 81330.html which, I think is more like your one. Not the same as the...

I'm almost certain it does not but, may be I over looked it. I'll let you know!

Thank goodness, I thought I was going crazy, or stupid, or something! Is it possible to purchase these products locally? That way I can pick it up on the way home from work. Thank you so much for all your help and time... much appreciated!
