    Algae that keeps coming back

    Hopefully today's the day the kit arrives! Separately, do you know anything about intermatic timers? Our manual switch works to turn the pump on and off, but the actual time clock does not rotate. The gears in the little window aren't turning either. Is this a matter of replacing only the...

    Algae that keeps coming back

    Haven’t gotten my test kit yet, but have added chlorine each day and we almost have our pool back!! As my husband says, we can finally see the cracked crystal bright :ROFLMAO: I’ll do the testing and adjust accordingly, I still don’t think the water is *there* yet, but this is the best it has...

    Algae that keeps coming back

    Looking at the chlorine CYA chart, do I stick with the salt water tab or use the slam tab? And how will I know how much chlorine to add to reach the correct free chlorine levels?

    Algae that keeps coming back

    The rain is so frustrating!!! Every time it starts again, a part of me dies as I watch the pool become a little cloudier :cry: ordered my test kit, hopefully can get this show on the road next week. We basically haven’t been able to use our pool since May between the rain and now algae

    Algae that keeps coming back

    Our salt water chlorinator was out of commission for about a week on top of lots of rain and south Florida heat. The chlorinator was replaced last Friday and has been running on 100% since. Needless to say, things went downhill without the swg. The pool never went “green”, but has remained...

    Losing prime when pump is off overnight

    ahhhh interesting, thank you!! Hopefully that's the cause to the pump losing prime and hopefully not an additional problem to this pool from you know where :) I’ll have to check it out. If that valve needs replacing, is that an easy fix? Something I can order and replace?

    Losing prime when pump is off overnight

    I actually have no idea why it's full of water lol. We bought the house and it was like that....is the hose supposed to be empty? And could that be a possibility as to why the pump basket empties out at night?

    Losing prime when pump is off overnight

    Ok great, I'll check all that out when I get home. Any ideas on the new motor turning on and off? That one's got my mind all worked up o_O

    Losing prime when pump is off overnight

    They only replaced the motor & shaft seal. They left the rest of the pump as is. I'll go ahead and check out the pump lid o ring (and probably replace for good measure) and the drain plugs. Just to clarify, what's the purpose of the drain plug closest to the motor? Could the bleeder valve on...

    Losing prime when pump is off overnight

    Kind of a loaded situation here: Just had 1.5 HP motor replaced last Friday due to the old motor running intermittently & eventually tripping the breaker. Motor was replaced, all seemed to be fine, until it wasn't. The pool was still shutting on and off. Most commonly, it turns on at 7:30 in...
