    Brown Stain Below Spa Spillover

    I apologize if this post is in the wrong section. I notice a brown stain on the plaster below the spillover. While researching this problem on here, I just learned that the spillover should not run all day. That maybe part of the problem as the spillover runs when the pool pump runs which is...

    Besides turning the pump to 100%, is there anything else I should do when I manually vacuum the pool?

    How to backwash my system

    The pool contractor really left me in the dark. How would I go about back washing my system? I have the Omnilogic crontroller/app and I don't see a way to do it on there. Also, can anyone help with identifying what each of these valves are for? Thanks

    Refill after acid wash

    I got back in town last night. I've been messing with the pool a little bit today. I noticed that the pump filter before I left was not completely filled with water. I turned off the filter and cleaned the filter. I restarted everything and it looked fine. I'm looking at it again now that I'm...

    Refill after acid wash

    I had to got out of town. I tried to collect some but it was impossible. With the next it just broke up, and also tried with a large spoon to no success. I put the dolphin in and it looked like it got rid of most of it. I then ran the pump and the blower, and it looked like the rest was gone...

    Refill after acid wash

    Thank you for all of your help. I ran the spa pump for about thirty minutes. Now the Crud has accumulated in the corners. What should I do?

    Refill after acid wash

    How can I tell what the RPMs are at when it only gives me a percentage?

    Refill after acid wash

    I just rechecked it on the app and it isn't showing a reading now. Also, the app shows percentage speed for the filter pump. What percentage should I have it running at?

    Refill after acid wash

    Thank you. When should I start adding salt? Also, is it weird that my Omnilogic app shows average salt is 3100ppm right now?

    Refill after acid wash

    Pool was finished in May 2022. We had an acid wash today because the plaster looked like Crud. The plaster company used a pressure washer while applying the plaster and there were pressure washing lines all over. Pool is refilling now, and I believe it will be filled by morning. Also, we are...

    Cannot get chlorine levels to come down

    The SWG was running from 7am to 11pm. It was set up at 80%, and I only realized a few weeks ago that I could change it. Then it ran at 60% for two weeks, 50% for about a week, 10% for a few days and now it has been off for a few days. The neutralizer was granular sodium thiosulfate

    Cannot get chlorine levels to come down

    I got the FAS-DPD kit today. Using 10ml sample and multiplying by .5, I get 12.5. I added 5 drops of R-003 afterwards and it did not turn back to pinkish/red. Also, I still have not ran the SWG chlorinator since I made this thread.

    Cannot get chlorine levels to come down

    I have Leslie complete kit which I believe is the same as the Taylor 2005. It does not have the FAS-DPD powder testing method. It has the drops to measure chlorine levels.

    Cannot get chlorine levels to come down

    I was getting my water tested at the pool store, but from reading on here I decided to get one of the Taylor kits which was about 3 weeks ago. At the pool store my chlorine levels were always in range but at home they are 10+. I tried adding a chlorine neutralizer which didn't make a difference...

    Stain from CYA Stabilizer

    No well water. I'm not sure if the city water is high in iron, but I can try to find out. None of the parts look dull or yellow.

    Stain from CYA Stabilizer

    I have some staining from what I believe is from broadcasting CYA Stabilizer. I now know about the sock method. I read about using Vitamin C, and I tested that by placing the Vitamin C on the stain This seemed to work, but the tablet dissolved quickly. Are there other methods of applying the...
