    Pump motor seized

    Hi, I have a 24' AGP 13,500 gal. My pump, Waterway PB2200-6P, is humming when turned on. I tried turning the shaft manually with a very large screwdriver. At first it would not budge, then it would turn,but not without quite a bit of force. I tried to remove the impeller, but the nut is...

    Cloudy water/ bad cartridge?

    Around 11/12 psi on high, 4/5 psi on low. I bought the cartridge last year, and I don't think it has ever been as good as the original. I think I recall stuff coming out of return while vacuuming last year. It's been too cloudy to tell this year.

    Testing Chlorine?

    I have been buying jugs of 12.5% chlorine from a pool store. I have an AGP that holds 13,500 gal. 2.5 gallons should bring chlorine level up to about 24ppm. I am consistently getting around 13ppm. 2.5 gal of 6% Clorox does that. Is there any way to test the strength of the chlorine straight...
