I recently added some calcium chloride to the pool as my level was 225 which had dropped from 300 from last summer. Then I noticed the following day after addition that my pool has this scale right at the water line. I tested the water today: pH 7.5 FC 7 CH 250 TA 100 CYA 30 CSI -0.29 (pool...

Forget it and buy the robot it’s basically $100 upgrade. But I just got my new toy delivered today.

Thanks for the recommendation. I called them today and spoke with Margaret and she was able to explain my options to me. I decided on the Pentair Warrior SI since the dolphins were out but she basically told me these are the same thing. I decided to “splurge” $50 price difference between non...

Anyone know of reliable robot pool cleaner dealers in the Houston area? Or do most people order online? I have an in-ground pool with a sunledge and after inheriting a 6 yr old sidepressure Kreepy Krauly cleaner and the trouble trying to find a cracked booster pump body after last week's...

Where did you order the pump body piece? I have the same pump with the crack only in the pump body and have been having a heck of a time trying to find it part number is R0723100. I’m also in Houston

Thanks, I’m seriously considering if this part is really going to be back ordered perhaps selling the motor side of the pump and investing in a pool robot.

I have a Kreepy Krauly Letro Legend pressure side cleaner that the booster pump powered. I’m going to try to reach out the some of the pool repair companies around here too in case they have booster parts but if I can’t get that part I’m sure there’s probably a way to maybe remove that pump from...

No such luck online finding this part. I contacted Partswarehouse.com today as I ordered the part there and they said it was also on back order and they couldn’t tell me any ETA. Any other recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks everyone I removed all the plates and got to this part without any other signs of cracking. Anything else I should look for? Here is the mechanical seal does it really need to be replaced too? This pump is only a year old.

Hi Folks, I have a Polaris PB450 booster pump that I wrapped up and tried to drain but still ended up cracking (see below) from what I can tell it looks like it’s only the pump body. Is this correct? And can I just order this part and fix it myself? Thanks for the help!

Yes absolutely I am in no rush to jump in and swim anyway. So will prolly just be checking chemistry and doing brushing to mix in any chlorine that I may need to add. Hoping to have consecutive days of warm weather next week to allow thaw and then restart the power.

Hi folks I just checked my pool equipment (pumps, filters, and pipes) and it looks like they survived the freeze. They only casualty is my auto fill pipe that is connected to the sprinkle water line. Apparently when the pool was installed the auto fill line was connected before the sprinkler...

I’m totally feeling this right now

I live in Houston, TX where there is one day freeze expected on Monday. What’s the optimum low speed rpm I should set my pool pump to for the upcoming freeze to run 24/7? How long should I run it 24/7? Currently it runs at 2550 rpms. I have a pentair intelliflo vs. there is an auto run during...

My pool is plaster and tile. Yes I was planning to SLAM again today. The last time I did take it to completion and maintained the SLAM levels until things were clear and let the chlorine levels go down on their own. The algae I was seeing was in the raised spa area and don’t really see...

My test results this morning. FC 1 TC 1.5 CYA 40 PH 7.8 CH 225 TA 80 I’ve been keeping my pH around 7.3 to 7.5 every other day as we use the pool I Slammed the pool about 9 days ago due to heavy rains up to TC of 14 and have been keeping the levels around 5-7 when we swim. I’ll probably...

Hello, I switched over from Dichlor to 10% liquid chlorine and have been keeping the chlorine levels at recommended levels between 3-5 And pH between 7.3-7.5 since my initial Calcium Hardness before switching was 450. My latest test results today after two weeks of the switch are pH 7.8 FC 3.5...

Whew took a while to respond back as I fell sick the following day after I originally posted. I received my TF test kit today and got right on it. I lowered my pH with muriatic acid to 7.2 as my TA was 120 and was targeting the recommended 70 on the pool math app. Then I used Kroger concentrated...

Thanks. I’m making my way through the ABCs now and will be ordering the TF100 kit as well! Glad to know I won’t need to waste my trichlor purchase. Any suggestions for where to purchase the liquid chlorine?

Hello everyone. After spending what seems to be an an exorbitant amount of money to keep my pool clean, I (finally) listened to my wife (I know l, right?) to decided to really read up on my own pool care with the TFP ebook. I have a 19,000 gallon chlorine pool with an in-line trichlor...
