Re: Looking for suggested for salt Systems You should contact the engineer at all the major companies in the industry perhaps even attend multiple seminars and training and tell the engineers and the instructors SCG's don't raise pH. Almost as ridiculous as chlorine use is acidic...

Re: Looking for suggested for salt Systems The pH of chlorine produced by a cell is 7.6 - 7.8 . Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) which is also produced as a by-product pushes the pH up. Nothing is going to stop the production of NaOH. Salt + Water + Electricity produces Sodium Hydroxide +...

Re: Looking for suggested for salt Systems NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) is the byproduct of generating chlorine from NaCl. It has a high pH.

Yessir there are some plumbing issues there

3 choices, IMO. Hayward Aqua Rite Pro or Pentair iChlor or Pentair Intellichlor. Reason being you can hook up an automated acid injection system to balance the pH with either of these units. Those being the Hayward pH Dispense or Pentair IntellipH. SWG's cause your pH to rise to 8.4

Only decent system, imo, is the Pentair IntelllipH but you need either the iChlor or Intellichlor SWG's to work with it. Hayward released one this year but it only works with the new Aqua Rite Pro system. You can use either of these systems along with your Aqualink but they will not be...

momof3boys, according to your manual you should not use bromine since you have an Eco-Pure filter. I service a spa similar to yours (mineral cartridge and ozone gen, different mfgr and about 1/3 capacity). It took awhile but I found the trick is to shock weekly with about an ounce of Dichlor...

Man whatta relief. I went from cleaning my neighbors pool into a full blown business in just a few years. Really relied on SimplePool to help me out. Thanks to all who made this happen.

Thanks for the info about the developer. Yes I am somewhat frustrated and disappointed. I purchased another app today for after reading the reviews and then I found out it was not what I needed. Perhaps people here can recommend an app that is similar that suits their needs ? Airing out my...

The strange thing is that all my apps are backed up in Google except that one all of a sudden. I broke the screens on 3 phones last summer and reloaded the app everytime no prob. What gives ? The pool math calculator works great but is not as user friendly on a smart phone as Simple Pool Pro...

Wow this is really bumming me out. I had it on my last droid phone. I thought Google backed up all your apps. Can't find it at all. My tablet that has it is 1/2 way around the world right now in Indonesia. Why would they discontinue this app and make it unavailable?

UPDATE The gray Jandy valve was positioned with the cover reverse. In other words, the input was on the pump side not the suction side. I removed the 8 screws and reversed the cap position 180°. When correctly installed, the valve in the "open" position blocks the grease port and any...

Hey thanks for all the replies guys. The inlet to the pump is approximately 18" above the pool level. I was there earlier and checking the system. I tightened the threaded intake coupler and that didn't have any effect. One thing, actually2 things I noticed are the Jandy valve on the inlet...

Yes, I lubed the gasket and the o-rings on the unions. Only thing I can think of is maybe I need to tighten up the threaded adaptor going into the pump. I noticed a bit of leaking on the discharge side and I loosened the union and tightened up the threaded pvc adaptor 1/2 turn. That corrected...

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll check the input connection to the pump to make sure it's tight. This is where I suspect there may be a suction leak. When the DE filter drains down I don't notice any water spilling out anywhere. It seems to drain out into the plumbing system (i.i; back into...

I'm helping out my wife's friend with her 25K vinyl in ground pool that is approximately 8 years old with 2 skimmers, 3 returns, no main drain and 1 1/2" plumbing. She had a Jandy pump that was shot. So I replaced it with a Hayward VS super pump. Great unit btw. The installation was pretty...

Hi Nic, I will be the first to admit that I am no expert so that being said I believe that the app just figures that you'll calculate the Total Chlorine minus the Free Chlorine and come up with the Combined Chlorine level then punch in just the Total Chlorine and the Combined Chlorine levels...

CC = TC (-) FC :-D :goodjob:

Re: Pool opening. All going well. Chemistry right on but pro Thank you sir! :goodjob:

Re: Pool opening. All going well. Chemistry right on but pro Feel like a real dope. Problem was I had the hose attached backwards. I had the swivel end on the cover plate in the skimmer. Worked like a charm today. Pool is super clean now. I'm a little bit of a greenhorn but learning...

Re: Pool opening. All going well. Chemistry right on but pro Thanks Tom for your reply. Psi was at 24 so it seems good. Strainer basket in the pump was clean from the previous vacuuming I gave it about 4 days ago. I'll give it a shot again tomorrow without the basket and the cover adaptor.

with vacuuming. I got most of the leaves out of the pool with a bag net and bought one of those caps that go over the strainer basket for the vac hose. It all worked great vacuuming the other day but today the cap just kept popping off. I had blocked off the other skimmer and shut off the...

Ken, I downloaded the app into my Droid Razr and it runs perfectly. Well worth the $5. Thanks for all your efforts. :goodjob:

That's good to know. There are 2 returns and 3 caps at this job. I used the smallest at the end of the line and the mid size one as the first. Seems to be pushing the surface water to the skimmers on the other end pretty well.

Thanks for the response Jason and thank you for welcoming me to the forum. I found your information helpful.

I'm in the process of opening a 16 x 32 vinyl pool. On one end it has two skimmers, on the other end it has 2 return jets and approximately 2/3 of the way closest to the skimmers on one side is an auto fill. I removed the winterization plugs and have 3 return jet caps with different size...
