    Repair Jacuzzi filter or replace it

    No luck finding Jacuzzi parts so I opted for a new filter setup. Family Leasure has a eco Kleer 22" with 1.5 motor. The only problem I see so far is that, eco kleer recomends that the filter be placed no more than 5 feet from the pool. My old filter is 23 feet from the skimmer and 21 feet from...

    Repair Jacuzzi filter or replace it

    I have a crack at the pressure gauge port and water running down the side of the multi port valve on my filter. I can try finding another multiport or replace the whole filter. Because Jacuzzi 190L parts are getting rare, I'm thinking a new filter is in order. If I can not find a new valve, how...

    Esther Williams liner replacement

    I will be installing a liner in my Esther Williams above ground, beaded 18x33x50 soon. Approximately 30” in ground, on one end and 24” on the other. The liner was ordered last month and it arrived last week. I know that I have some work to do on the pool floor because it has washouts where it...

    Weird Colored Water - Seafoam Green

    My water has changed colors and shades of color for the past 3 weeks. Green, dark green, light green, whiteish green, light blue and now I can see the bottom but water is still not clear. It just takes TIME for the filter to do it's job when the water gets out of balance. I keep thinking it's...

    can't see pics

    One post that blocks pics is "Wierd Colored Water-Seafoam Green", posted by Fancypants in the Testing and Balancing Your Water section. Strange, by the time I typed this reply, the pic of Fancypant's pool appeared. Maybe my computer takes time to load the pics and displays the message untill then.

    My sand is "channeled" how to fix it?

    I would suggest plugging the lateral stand pipe, maybe wire tie a baggie over it. I don't think sand in the stand pipe is a good thing.

    How accurate is my turnover estimation?

    I would guess that there is a formula for finding the turnover rate for a given pool and it's components. But is there a way to measure the actual turnover in my pool?

    77shovelhead's first test results

    I was going to hold off on changing anything till the water clears up more. Vacuuming, brushing, backflushing daily and keeping the chlorine about the same was all I was going to do, unless I'm missing something.

    Changed my filter sand

    Being a new pool owner, and not knowing what was in my filter, I changed the sand last year. It's just that I wanted to know what's inside and that it was correct. Poured in the proper amount of sand and let it go. I only wish I had noted what the full mark was for later reference.

    Check for restrictions

    The pump is about 12 feet from the pool and the 1-1/2" PVC runs undergorund. I know that there is an algae problem, hence the new test kit that just arrived and checking for restrictions. Checking the flow is why I started this thread. I am trying to figure out how to be POSTIVE that there...

    Check for restrictions

    Last year the water comming from the eye/return seemed to have more pressure. It almost hurt to put my arm in front of it. I opened the pool about 2 months ago. As for it not clearing up, the water is cloudy after 60 plus days of constant filtering and vacuuming. I have SHOCKed it twice in...

    Check for restrictions

    Pressure is normal. I backwash daily and after each vacuum. I have not taken the pump apart, but I can feel the impeller through the strainer and do not feel debris on the impeller. I change the filter sand last year.

    Check for restrictions

    I don't seem to have the flow that I had last year and the water just will not clear up. What do you use to check for restrictions? I have 1-1/2" supply and return PVC pipe.

    Last year we bought a house with an existing pool and thanks to this site I was able to keep the frogs on the outside. I just ordered the test kit so it should be a little easier this year.

    Test kit

    I put off buying a test kit last year and used the test strips. Having decent results using BBB with the strips, I figure I'll up my results and get a test kit this year. Is the Taylor K-2006 the proper kit for my pool?
