Rebuilt my boost pump because the ceramic seal had cracked and it was leaking. I got the new impeller, and seals. I had removed that tiny little rubber gasket that goes around the axel for lack of a better term. At the shop I said, I need that little one for the rod that turns the impeller...

Mods, please delete. This topic appears to be quite thoroughly covered on this forum. My apologies.

It is pouring it my house now. Yesterday I flew up to the Red river and Trinity river to take some photos. It is insane how wet everything is.

Leslies is the only game in town and they know it. I needed a bag for my polaris. $45. I found it on line for $12 I needed new cartridges, their price $600. I found it online for $300 So now I need something less trivial. My salt cell has gone Kaput Leslies wants $600. I have a hayward...

I was looking at umbrellas from patio stores they were outrageously expensive. I found one at sears of all places for about 300 bucks. The base was not going to be heavy enough to really hold it w/ some of the winds we get so I filled the base w/ sand and buried the whole thing a foot under...

Fascinated to find the cause of a pump motor failure over the weekend. As of late, it had been making a funny sort f metal on metal noise when running. It started tripping the breaker. I went out of town and decided to deal with it when I got back. I came home and reset the breaker and turned...

I am doing some trouble shooting because my system is starting to show its age. Background: Salt reading "very Low". I take the cell to Leslies and they say it tests fine. Have a guy out and he says he can replace the PCB. The price is too high to I replace it myself. I literally took 1 wire...

The blower for my spa is for some reason, 5 feet off the ground and right in front of my control panel. Any reason, I can't just cut that PVC pipe a foot or 2 shorter and lower it?

I've been out of town on a camping trip in Lake Murry Oklahoma (beautiful lake by the way) Will be back tomorrow. I had my sister get a pool sample while feeding my dogs. When I get back I will run the test myself with the kit but this is the prelim from Leslie's FAC: 0 TAC: 0 Phosphates: 400...

I bought the good test kit. for what its worth just from my 2 test kit and my strips. Cl < .5 Br < 1 Ph = 8.4 Hardness ~500 Alk 180 Stabilizer = 0 All the numbers are extreme. I will post the test results from the good test when it arrives.

I didn't have the energy to mess with it back then. I really just thought "keep putting salt in this and it will generate chlorine and take care of itself" When I came here and found that was not even close, I just kept letting leslies fix my problems without really diving in and learning what I...

SLAM?

I will get a test kit and post my results. Currently I just have those little strips with the colored squares. I can never make heads or tails out of the strips.

I hear this every time I go to the pool store. I get a bunch of conditioner, Shock, etc. Everything Dies, and the pool is perfect. Have a pool party ~20 kids within 3-4 days, the green stuff starts growing. I take in my sample and once again "You have no chlorine" I was told you should only...

I got the kids in the hot tub and let that be their "bath" washed their hair and such. Shampoo of course made for a very elaborate bubble bath. We have probably done this 5-6 times this summer. last couple days, I notice a lot of "scum" for lack of a better word floating around the hot tub abd...

I have a net that goes over my pool because I have small kids (3 and 5) We got a new puppy and he of course chewed a hole through it. Does anybody know if it can be repaired or could tell me how I can repair it. It is one of these nets made of the really thick twine. It was a very expensive...

ok, I know at times, I have come out in the morning, and the spa has drained back into the pool. Also this thing is rattling like crazy when I have the spa fountain on. Guessing I need to replace it. What is it called so I know what to ask for?

I guess it is to prevent water from going down that pipe when that feature is not turned on. But why do I care. The whole reason I ask is when I turn the spa feature on, this thing rattles incessantly and is annoying. If I take it out, and turn that spa water feature on/off, it works fine and...

And just to clarify I should have added I am still a teenager "At Heart". I am 35. I just re read and realized one might infer I started having children at age 14.

So I am a bit of an engineer and I have taken my kids to splash parks and they love those water blasters they can spray each other with. So After a beer or two, I got to looking at my pool and notices I have 2 fountains. One in the spa and one on a tanning ledge. So That is my power source...

No, I have a 3 and 5 year old but I am still a teenager. I am a software engineer so I have a gadget for everything in my house. Was hoping I could pour a few drops on some sort of WiFi device and it would email the pool store for me and tell them to deliver pre measured amounts of chemicals I...

One more thing (and this may make me lazy) I haven't checked but I have a computer (pool controls) that tells me all sorts of things about my water, temp, salt, etc Do we by chance live in a world where I can buy a "gadget" that I can pour my pool water in and it gives me all of this...

yes I am in texas it is about 105 right now. I have 0 shady in my pool it is indirect sunlight anytime the sun is up

This is what they had me put in. She said I needed 5 lbs but they sell 4 lb buckets so to just put in 4 lbs for now and check it again in a week http://www.lesliespool.com/Home/Pool-Ch ... 12302.html

I will read pool school. Now I wonder if That is what I added. They gave me a bucket (4 pounds) simply called "Conditioner" It was white rice sized grains. "Mix w/ water and pour in skimmer" Wish I kept the bucket I wonder if that was CYA. She said it would help keep chlorine from...

I think I may just need to get a pool guy.

NM, just saw it on the report. I have Muratic acid s that different?
