Yes, I do have a variable speed pump. I have 6 return jets in total split between 3 return lines. All the jets have to be manually closed/opened. I’m guessing that the PVC aerator isn’t getting enough water pressure when it has to share with the other return jets? But it also seems like a huge...

Hi there! I live in central Texas, and it’s crazy hot. The water temp on my 7k-gallon pool is currently 96 degrees, and I’d like to utilize aeration overnight to cool the water. I bought a PVC waterfall/aeration setup on Amazon: Amazon.com I hooked it up to my return jet per instructions, and...

Gotcha! Thanks, I’m going to try it! Hopefully this is indeed rust so that vitamin C will resolve it.

Something has been staining my tile grout and cover a greenish color over the past few weeks (see photos), and I can't figure out what the issue is. I'm hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me and may be able to help. My ~6K-gallon pool is technically still under construction in...
