My pool & Jandy equipment is a bit over a year old. About 3 months ago, got no flow error so PB replaced the flow sensor and added the small daughter board. That worked for about 2 months then I got the no flow error again. This time PB removed the daughter board (didn't change the flow...

These are my current readings using the Taylor K2006 test kit: FC - 3.2 CC - 0 pH - 7.5 TA - 80 CH - 250 CYA - 48 Salt - 3500 Water Temp - 84 Air Temp - 100+ See equipment specs in signature block I have to add 8 to 16 oz of muriatic acid every day to maintain the pH at about 7.5. It tends to...

Re: How to clean a cartridge filter I'll try the glue next time I clean the cartridges. I did notice 1 or 2 bands were broken on one of the cartridges. Hopefully it won't come apart in the filter canister.

Re: How to clean a cartridge filter Even though this is an old thread hopefully someone might have an answer. Has anyone tried using plastic zip-ties to replace broken filter bands? They come in large sizes that should go around the filter ok. Using the hot glue method would probably require...

The barkeepers friend didn't do anything. I tried MA at about 3:1 but it didn't really do much either. I am afraid of staining (or worse) the pebbletec since there is no way to keep the acid wash from running. I might try using a stronger solution and a small foam paint brush then immediately...

My pool/spa was drained to replace the coping which was stained because of a poor concrete mix. While the pool is empty I want to remove the very slight scaling from the tile. The scaling is a 1/4" band less than the thickness of paint. The pool school recommends an acid wash. I don't want...

To vacuum my pool, I connect the hose (full of water) to the vacuum head and then to the skimmer pipe after putting the controller into service mode with filter pump selected. With this mode selected, the two-speed pump runs at high speed. There is so much suction the vacuum head tends to...

Thanks guys. I've added acid to bring the pH down. I will check it tomorrow after it gets all stirred up.

I am a newbie pool owner. The pool (see signature for details) is 6 months old. The pool installation company has been "taking care" of the chemistry up to now. I purchased a Taylor K2006 Complete FAS-DPD testing kit which I used yesterday for the first time. These are my readings: FC: 3.0...
