Nope, I wish they would have some kind of kit for repair but they don't. Just didn't know if someone else had run into this and had some numbers or info. It's leaking worse now than last year, so I guess at this point all I can do is pull the motor off and see what's in there. I'd love to...

Sorry, I need to update my info as that's the old pump that's now relegated to winterizing pump down duties. The Harris pump in question is a model 72525 ProForce VS 3HP inground pool pump. No other labels or info is on the pump. Here is a link to the pump on Doheny's...

Hello everyone, last year I installed a used Harris 3HP variable speed pump for my 16x32 inground. It always had a little leak when the RPMS were turned up where the plastic flange that holds the pump bolts to the body. I tried tightening the bolts, but they did not move and I didn't want to...

All summer. The new sand looked like it had a lot of very fine particles to it versus what was in the filter, so I'm hoping that since the laterals appeared ok that the sand was not a suitable replacement

Yes, this was a constant issue last summer. I did everything right to prepare the new sand. I do not have the new media yet

Hi everyone, as I type this there are currently two big vacuums running and my pool is refilling after installing a new liner after nearly 20 years. But I digress, the excitement is just killing me. Anyway, last year I changed the who knows how old filter sand for fresh stuff so I knew what...

Thought I would post a final update. After trying for weeks to get this pool clean, I decided to cut my losses and drained approximately half of the water and refilled with fresh. Then I brought my FC level to 10ppm, lowered PH to 7.2, and used HTH super clarifier to clean up the rest. Pool...

I was in the same boat as you. Ended up draining my pool to the ramp to the deep end and am refilling it now. SLAM may work, but it takes too long and I want to swim now, not in October.

FC level was at 14 based on a test a few min ago. Going to add the amount given by poolmath. Pool doesnt foam up near as much anymore, but we also have not had rain in a few days. I also remembered I had a bulk pack of skimmer socks. I'll put a link to a pic of what one looked like this...

That is actually a good question. I cant see or touch the deep end, it's probably 10 ft or so. I've been judging how much debris was in - and still might be- in the pool based on what I pull up with my leaf net and vacuum. I know there are still some leaves at the bottom of the deep end, but...

Quick question for thought...can a small leak in the return side plumbing cause this cloudiness? Just brainstorming

It needs replaced because it is sagging and coming off the track in several spots. It's also badly faded and chemical stained. Its approximately 20 years old, the local pool store actually put it in this pool in 2003.

Guess I'll just stick to the process. Itll either get better or not.

No floc since I changed the sand. O wont touch that stuff again unless i absolutely have to, and not until the water is clear so I can see. I did add some clarifier earlier that I read about. It's made from crushed recycled sea shells and is supposed to work in high chlorine levels with no...

So an update. Been at the SLAM process for almost a month now. Sometimes I feel like I make progress, other times not. Been brushing daily and vacuuming to waste every other day. Check chemical levels twice a day, sometimes more, to maintain a FC level of 16-20 depending on CYA, which I...

The poolmath app is incredible. I poured in exactly the amount of liquid chlorine it told me to a few hrs ago to reach a FC level of 20 ppm, and I just did a FC test before bed as usual...20 ppm right on the dot. I havent stepped foot in the local pool store since I got my k2006 and started...

Ok so a PH right now of 7.0 is fine?

I changed the sand today. I realize it may have just needed a deep clean, but it was less than 40 bucks for the sand and a couple hours of my time to start with fresh. Checked chlorine, PH, alkalinity. PH is 7.0, going to get borax later this evening. Alkalinity is 120. Free chlorine was...

I vacuumed to waste last night and got a lot of stuff out. I had to empty the skimmer bucket several times and clear the suction hole in my vacuum several times. I added water while doing this because I lost a lot. Did a chemical test afterwards. PH was 7.1, alkalinity 125, CYA still between...

I vacuumed the Crud out of my pool today (literally, I got a lot out). Going to recheck chemical levels tonight and add as necessary. I drained a lot of water today vacuuming to waste. Also talking to my dad and brother in law, both of which had pools, i think tomorrow i am going to change...

For SLAM, would it be ok to lean on the higher side of chlorine amount? So instead of using the amount for a cya of 40 use the amount for 50 even if it's closer to 40?

Plan is to vacuum to waste today and continue. Thankfully I can get 12% chlorine liquid all day long

Hi all, new member here. I posted an intro in the appropriate thread, but I need help so I thought I would post my situation here. This might be long, but I want to get everything I know out there. We closed on our new home June 18th. With said home came a nice 16x32 in ground vinyl liner...

Hi everyone, name is Kevin and I live in Sedalia, MO. We bought a house last month that came with a 16x32 inground 25k gallon pool. Poor pool was severely neglected by the previous owner. I have filled 5 of the 32 gallon trash cans from Walmart with leaves and debris from the bottom. Bent a...
