    Vacanza Series Borate/Epsom Salt questions

    I have a Vacanza Series spa and e-mailed the manufacturer e-mail that's in the owners manual asking if I could use Borate/Epsom salt and how much if so. They said if its not in the manual that it would void the warranty. Is there really any way for them to tell if I make sure its drained...

    Veryifying plans

    Just want to verify how much pH will lower with CYA. I'm probably going to start with 10 CYA to test how fast we lose it because I still have one verified leak we aren't quite ready to fix until fall/winter at the earliest. If it doesn't lose too much after a week we'll probably up the number...

    Using up Trichlor I know I know..don't have that much

    Anyway I don't want to let them go to waste and I'm not going to sell them to someone. http://www.intheswim.com/Pool-Chemicals ... e-Tablets/ This says 25 tabs per 10000 or 55 tabs basically for my 22000 gallon pool. Does this sound accurate? It doesn't mention if thats with a certain CYA...

    Lowering pH while adding CYA and shocking

    I need to lower the pH add CYA and shock because of algae due to not using chlorine because of 2 major leaks. I got the leaks fixed and now I need to adjust. The pH is 8.0 because of the fill waters pH. I need to get the CYA to 30 and I'm not sure where I should lower the pH to. I have two...

    Adding D.E. After cleaning

    So this is our first time with a D.E. filter, and I think we put everything back together correctly. The thing is when we turned it on to see if anything was leaking and it was running right the pressure was going from 7-10 and back to 7. Is this normal behavior for the filter guage until you...

    Aerating pH rise using return jets

    Is there anything I can do besides just testing after some random amount of time to figure out how fast the pH rise from aeration is in my pool? I guess that isn't that hard just wondering. I have four returns pointed straight up to Aerate because my balance is good except for my pH at a bit...

    Return Fitting replacement

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3NyFXYK7E0 InfusionPool Products - How Our V-Fittings Work Looks pretty cool. Anything wrong with them? Asking because I broke one of my eyeballs trying to adjust it. Is it likely I can change it on my own? Also do I need to drain the water below the return...

    Proper Circulation

    http://www.parpool-spa.com/Page/Pool/Pa ... tting.html Is this a good idea? As a quick aside I just Flocced the pool and it says to wait a day and than vacuum. I Flocced the pool at 8:45 and the pump after its 1 hour run was done at 9:45. Should I wait all the way till 9:45 tonight? At 9:39...

    Using Trichlor w/inline feeder

    I've never used it but I have an in-line feeder next to my pool pump for Chlorine. I either want to use that or a floater with Trichlor to maintain a .5 ppm. I'm not sure how to adjust the thing it has a little knob where you can adjust it. I'm guessing this changes the amount of Chlorine...

    Three way Jandy Valve setting

    I think I understand what the valve does and how to set it in general, but I'm not sure what the different uses are. Currently I have a 3-way Jandy Valve which when set toward the direction of the pool has the suction line on with the skimmers off and the opposite side would be suction off and...

    Glass Pack Filter Media

    http://www.ecosmarte.com/ I noticed on the page with filter comparisons that Glass Pack filter media isn't mentioned. It appears they work similar to sand filters, but with better filtration because of smaller particles. I've read various problems with the Ecosmarte system in regards to...
