Hello TFP Team, I have not yet verified this since the pool is currently closed..I may add some chlorine to tap water to confirm. Taylor offers the K-2005 and the K-2006. The main difference between these two kits is that the 2005 is liquid DPD and the 2006 is powdered DPD with FAS liquid. My...

Hey team, I service a good amount of D.E. filters throughout the season but this one is giving me trouble. Customer has a Hayward D.E. 6020 that had ongoing issues of clogging fast. The water is crystal clear, properly balanced based on TFP recommended levels, and last week I gutted the filter...

We are renovating a residential pool which has been built into a wood deck. So imagine a deck (40x40) with a small octagon pool dropped in. The land beneath is on a hill so the pool is half in ground, half above ground. The track for the liner sits on top of the deck and bolts to the deck. The...

I stupidly didn't take any pictures but I was hoping someone knew what it was. We are going to replace a skimmer as well as plumbing on a concrete pool that is about 60 years old. The skimmer is all metal, very large lid, about double the size of a standard lid. The inside has a protective metal...

I'm looking into purchasing professional leak detection equipment. I know Anderson is a popular brand but what can anyone tell me about LeakTronics? It looks pretty innovative from what I've seen on their videos..I like how I would have the ability to also send mics through pipes. I'm looking...

This is the current pool coping. We are redoing the liner and want to switch to bullnose pavers. Does this coping come apart from its track and if so, can I put the pavers right on top of that? It looks as if it would sit too high.

Hey guys, stock pool, 20x40, looking to convert to IntelliChlor. The pool has two pumps, no actuators, a heater and will now have the IntelliChlor. What is the most efficient product to have the pool run through the WiFi iPhone app? Do I still need the IntelliChlor control box or will the new...

Where can I find the scaffolding that hangs off the pool deck and doesn't touch the bottom of the pool?

Hey guys, One of our residential pools has a leak in the plumbing that connects the main drain to the second hole in the skimmer. The pool during winter months drops down about 3-4 feet so I am going to guess that the leak is somewhere in that area underground. Is there any way to repair this...

Hey guys, I'm working with limited space in the equipment room but if I did my calculations correctly, a pool of this size needs to turn over about 550-600 gallons every minute to achieve a 6 hour turnover ratio. The pool is a salt pool so we selected the Pentair 15HP EQ Series for the pump but...

Our Hayward H300 heater did not power up when the breaker was turned on this year. After a quick look, the 3 amp fuse on the circuit board needed to be replaced. The unit power turned on, but the heater did not ignite. After a quick cleaning and checking all the connections, the unit lit and...

I'm constantly seeing pools with deck-o-seal that are deteriorating. The seal gets old, falls apart, water gets under the coping and all the tile starts falling off the pool. We are about to renovate a pool and replace the coping and tile. Should I be using deck-o-seal for my gap? The coping...

I've successfully lit the heater after blowing out the bottom and cleaning the contacts. The ignition sparked for about 8 seconds and it finally kicked on. It stayed lit for about 30 minutes, no smoke or anything unusual. When I turned the pool off for a split second to switch from service to...

I am reconstructing a concrete pool with fiberglass walls. The hydrostatic valve at the bottom is completely overdue for replacement and the entire main drain is falling apart. We removed the old equipment and chipped away parts of the old concrete. Ground water is now passing through as it...

I read a few other articles on here, just need a confirmation that I have the right coping. Here is a pic This coping needs to be replaced as well as the liner. Is this two stage coping that bolts into the metal and then snaps into place? How do I go about removing the old coping? Are there...

I should have taken pictures to show..I can provide those in a few days. I did a bid today on replacing a liner and the previous company installed a new bead receiver underneath the original one which is built into the coping. There seems to be nothing wrong with the original one but I'll...

I have a portable Hayward Superpump that I bring with me during pool openings for algae cleanup. I'd like to be able to convert its output to that of a trash pump. What I mean is I want a 3 inch brass male fitting on the Superpump so I can connect my 3 inch trash pump discharge hose. The reason...

I like the 100lb drums that granular chlorine comes in. I want to put all my chemicals into similar drums but home depot's buckets only go up to 5 gallons capacity. Where can I purchase similar drums?

Which pump do the pros recommend for draining pools. This is going to be used commercially for a residential pool service company. My goal is to be able to lower pools for closings, drain pool covers for openings and to drain entire pools for acid washing. Id like a reliable pump with a good...

Can anyone provide me with an example water analysis form that you'd get from either a weekly service or pool store? I am looking to design one for a company.
