No extras like heater or anything. Just the jets. Thanks everyone!

Never had a VS pump before so totally new to this. Got a new Jandy FloPro 1.85 and I’m having a difficult time figuring out what settings to run it on, and how long. I just got finished with my slam, so I am ready to set the timers. My initial thought was run it overnight on a medium speed for...

I am not sure of the model number yet, as they just sent me a quote on the price. I will be getting it mid April when they reset my liner. I do not currently have automation. And I am not sure how I will control everything as I currently just flip a switch to turn it on. Sorry to be so dumb...

I am replacing my pool pump and getting a Jandy 1.75 variable speed. My current one is this one…(photos attached). I guess my question is, will the Jandy pump work ok to replace my current one? They said that my current piping and everything would work, but this is an expensive pump and they...

I currently have this pump (or motor??) that started going bad last summer (pics attached). I know nothing about what I need, but I have been reading about variable speed pumps. My electric bills do get quite high in the summer while using this one, even though I only run it about 10 hours per...

Here’s the crack

So, I lost about 2 inches over a 24 hour period. About 12 hours pump running, and about 12 hours not. Went out to check and found some water leaking out of one of the pipes. We tightened that and stopped the leak and I thought all was good. Refilled back to about mid-skimmer and made a mark...

Thank you!!

Here are my numbers from today: FC-5.5 CC-0 PH-7.4 TA-120 CH-50 CYA-50 My PH and TA are rising. Is there anything I need to do right now to correct this?

Great! Thanks!!

Good morning everyone! Opened our pool yesterday. Looks pretty good. Water is a bit cloudy. Just wondering if I should SLAM or not, as I forgot what I did last year. I know I need to add stabilizer. Should I do that before SLAM, if I need to SLAM? Here are my current readings: FC-5 CC-0 CH-50...

Thank you!

CH was 50 when I tested last week.

I do have the app. I’ll definitely use it. There isn’t anything on the tub…I’m pretty sure the pool store made their own? My CYA is 40. I do have some granual shock from the pool store as well, that I haven’t used (total $400 newbie mistake 🙄)

Every time I go to Walmart, they are almost out. Went tonight and they are COMPLETELY out and said they don’t know when they will get more. I had to buy regular Clorox bleach. Not the concentrated stuff…just regular bleach. Will that be ok?? Any suggestions of where else to try? I do have some...

I believe it’s top. That’s where the pipes go in.

Hmm. The new laterals weren’t covered as I was filling it with sand. Idk how I would uncover them after I got all the sand in? I’m not sure about a grid on the bottom of the MPV. I don’t even know what the grid is!! Lol. I’m brand spanking new at all this.

I have a Hayward S244T sand filter with a Hayward multiport FPX0710. I replaced the laterals and entire assembly and put new sand in about a week after I opened the pool. When I vacuumed before replacing the laterals and sand, there was some sand coming through the returns. Now, when I vacuum...

I know I’ll need to add chlorine. How long should I let it filter before I test my chemical levels?

The filter wasn’t cleaning up the pollen. Of course this was before I changed out the sand and replaced the laterals, so maybe I should give it the chance. The pollen just looks icky and the kiddos don’t want to get in with it on the water, so I’ve just been letting the socks catch it. This is...

I have replaced them every other day. Emptied and rinsed every day.

Ok. I’ll see what it does tomorrow and reply if it does it again. As always….thank you!!!

I opened my pool last week, and since I’ve been getting my chemicals right, I’ve been basically running my pump 24x7. Also due to the enormous amount of pollen we have been having that sits on top of my water. I started using a skimmer sock last week that helped with the pollen tremendously...
