Thanks for the input Cowboycasey. I checked out the links in your post which raised another question for me. My current set up has a separate timer mechanism as well as what I'll just describe as a pressure switch that changes speed on the motor as well as turns on/off the blower for the...

It seems we woke up to a dead pump motor today. Noticed the overflow wasn't running and found the breaker to the pump tripped. Reset breaker, the motor did not restart and the breaker tripped again. This is a Pentair DynaPro E model MPEA6Yg-207L motor that was installed new in July 2016...so...

Thanks for the responses! Your comments mirror my thoughts exactly. This approach never made sense to me for exactly the reasons mentioned in your comments. However recognizing that I am relatively new to caring for our pool myself I thought that perhaps I was missing some obscure consideration...

The general guidance I have read regarding the process for pH adjustment using muriatic acid states that the acid should be pre dispersed in a (comparatively) small volume of water before adding it to the pool. Why is this important? It seems unlikely that adding the acid to a couple of gallons...

Yes, Guiness, I am using the Taylor K-1766 kit.

I just began taking care of our pool (described in signature & photo in avatar) a few months ago after having it serviced by a couple of different companies since construction in 2016. A few days ago I walked by the equipment for a quick look see and noticed the green 'cell' light flashing on...

Hi, When we moved to SWFL 5 years ago we had a new home built including a pool/spa combination. The pool is free form, heated salt water and probably about 13,000 gallons +/-. As we'd never had a 'real' pool before I chose to hire a pool service company to care for it initially choosing the...
