What would happen if Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) in therapeutic quantities (2 cups per bathtub full of water) is added to anormal chlorinated pool?

Would you state the chlorination you do, please.

Thank you Kim. The crook is still in business. The Registrar issued long lists of Corrections orders - all of which he ignorred. Of course he could not correct issues of which he had neither clue nor license for. Even the City of Mesa issued some 20 code violations that he ignorred too. Well...

Five years ago I got hit by a crook. He chipped (i.e. destroyed) the pool and coverred it in plaster that looked like blotched mess from day one. The plaster started cracking and delaminating within 2 years. Do you know of someone who can replaster/repair the pool. Should the pool first be...

I would like to install after the pump an automatic pressure relief valve; up to 50 psig. Ideal would probably be an add on to the water pipe, or mounted on the sand filter where a manual air vent is. I have a nightmare scenario: Installation has a flap water flow valve that has inside relays...

So if I know the manufacturing date - how do I use this information? I know that old is bad - but what is OLD?

I do not have any timer nor automatic control system. I do have Hayward Echostar pump and I would like the Acid Pump to work only when the Echostar pool pump works. I have Solaxx phTEK accid feed peristaltic pump device so I assume it draws little current, but it is 240V. Are there any...

Symptoms and Diag steps taken: GFI blows when the pump is connected. GFI breaker replaced for good measure and keeps blowing. Does not blow when pump is disconnected. Driver replaced two times, motor replaced 2 times - and goth GFI breakers keep blowing. Note: the hot wires swap at the pump...

Thank you for the suggestion to go with 2-speed pump. But which one would be good for drop-in no plumbing R&R? Or even with plumbing - which one would be a good choice. I have about 23 k gal. pool without fancy stuff. Just need basic one speed to run skimmer + 2" vac line on one speed and than...

I have Hayward Ecostar, and as many other Ecostar's its electronics failed in less than 3 years. This means I and the nevironment will not be saving anything on electricity. Of course Hayward does not stand behind its product to any degree. I cannot repeat the error. I must buy something else...

I read about it in here but I cannot find it. I just strated the new Hayward Ecostar and would like to figura out the flow based on the rpm, watts, and pressures. Otherwise I love the pump.

Every picture shows: skimmer+spa line coming to a Jandy-like valve and into the pump intake. The valve is always at the same level as the pump intake. Most of the pictures shows v.short distances between the valve and the pump - against the pump manufacturers and against teachings of science of...

SOLVED :party: : Bought at Radio Shack 100k - 1/4 Watt resitors pack for $1.28. Installed one resistor accross the white and black wires in effect shorting across the 13 Watt (120V) reflector bulb. This provides enough current to keep the X10 wall switch happy and stops the glow the LED bulb. I...

I have the 120V circuit for the pool lamp. It is on GFIC breaker. The on/off/dim switch is an X10. The fluorescent, incandescent bulbs work normal. The LED (dimmable) bulb keeps glowing after the switch is off. I do know that X10 switches do leak some minimal 0.001A because they are always...

Normal is when there is no air moving in the window/lid. So if you do have any = turbulence= drop in suction ability and cavitation. When you switch to one supply pipe - the turbulence gets worse. In my setup - when I was away - the 'genius' did 2" distance although he was told to do minimum 10"...

The straight pipe section before the intake is important. The longer the better. From my observations 5 times the diameter is a minimum. Measure from the end of the Jamdy valve -- not from the center of the valve -- to the pump housing. Shorter pipes do created turbulence on the intake - this...

The distance between the Jandy valve and the pump intake is way too small. Turbulence is most likely doubling your electric bill and you may have cavitation as well. From the hydrodynamics course the longer the distance the better. ASPS recommends 4 x pipe diameter. Most pump manufacturers...

Should this light be replaced? This is R400-BCL that fits the CN-5 hole. What and where should I get - economically? Thanks to all.

I have 22,100 gal in ground pool. I am planning on Hayward EcoStar pump, I have Triton II TR60 Clear Pro (gravel, sand, zeo,sand) (I know TR100 would be better). I am re-piping above and below ground from 1.5" to 2" and doing sweeps instead of elbows. Added separate 2" suction line for Baracuda...

Please publish equipment layout. I am stragling to do efficient layout for s simple pool. No fountains. I woul dlike option for solar. I also plan on using sand filter (I do not want maintenance of other types), backwashing into a bag filter and feeding it back to the pool. Where I should have...

Well - physics is physics and facts are facts. I have learned that in Arizona laws of physics do not work too well. The human experiences and observations varies. Yes, there are about 250,000 pools in Arizona and nobody keeps statistics of PVC failures. My personal experience with PVC exposed...

For outdoor/above ground use PVC is only good as electrical conduit and nothing else. For the rooftop solar - only CPVC or ABS or metal. For solar you may also try PEX or PEX-AL. ABS is good to about 260F while PVC is not recommended for above 120F. PVC strength drops to 0 at 150F and it is...

I need to repipe my pool. Too much friction. I talked to pool remodel people - they are mostly contractors who hire pool plumbers - this means the price doubles. Do you know good pool plumber who knows how to do things for flow efficiency without charging an arm and a leg. Is ABS ok for pool...
