Hello, we recently opened but have not started SLAM yet as I am trying to figure out why we continue to have leaking water (not gushing but steady small flow) from the waste pipe. It seems to be happening regardless of the position of the Hayward Multiport Valve. I took apart to look at spider...

Fairly certain I need to replace motor. Right before closing last year it continued to turn off after running for 20-40 minutes. Never got hot to touch but seemed to always trip somehow. I had a provider out to look at it but no resolution. Anyways, currently I have Century USQ1152 but believe I...

Hello! We are attempting for the first time to close ourselves but having difficulty getting the water to stop flowing. Thus far we have; 1. Balanced chemicals & cleaned debris 2. Brought water level down to just below the skimmers 3. Cleaned out DE filter grids and reinstalled (cap on back...

Hi there, Lots of threads already on this but not able to find specific answer. I am finding that each time I test my pH is high (8 or above). I always treat with recommended amount of MA from PoolMath. I’m sharing my log (first time doing this so hope it works properly) but any advice is very...

Hello, this has been the case since we moved in to home almost 2 years ago (since then I have learned to manage pool myself thanks to TFP!) The shallow end skimmer has zero suction though the return has output. As you can see in photo the pool has 2 skimmers, 2 drains. Deep end has great...

Hello, we never use the pool light and I am wondering why the concrete changed near it. We have been in home with pool almost 2 years and its been like this since we moved in. Thank you!

Hello again! I am preparing to be away from home for just over 3 weeks and concerned that I will be returning to a troubling pool when I return. I tested this morning and as usual I am back to 0 FC. I am starting to wonder if my SWG is not working properly per chance? Or maybe I am just really...

Hello! I am having difficulty keeping my FC and CC up to ideal levels (can see slight algae growth now). I have a 28k gallon salt water pool with plaster (gunite) lining. I am wondering perhaps if I am not reading the results from PoolMath properly. I just tested levels which I have shown below...

Moved from here. Similar question from me as well though a little different I think. Attaching photo! Pool company that opened pool said it wasn't necessary in the fall and then this spring a new crew came and said we should think about filling it.

Hi there! We have recently moved in to a house with a salt water pool. I have done a ton of research and am really trying to get comfortable owning all of the maintenance needs of our pool but definitely a steeper learning curve for me. I have a few questions I was hoping to get some advice on...
