I did a complete rebuild of my pool in June. Removed the old plaster, all the tile, and the coping, and replaced it with Mini Pebble, Glass Tile, and Stamped Concrete Coping. So it is only seven months old. I tested my fill water before filling: All tests done with Taylor K-2006 June 12, 2023 -...

I already replaced it with the “better quality” Seal (Chemical/Salt Resistant, P/N: 071732S) from the Seal Quick Kit (P/N: 356198) together with the rest of the o-rings and gasket, but I am very surprised this already happened, since I bought the pump (P/N: 011056) brand new last September...

I just had my Pool&Spa resurfaced with StoneScapes Mini Pebble. The start up procedure calls for reducing Alkalinity to 80ppm and reducing pH to between 7.2 and 7.6 on day One after Pool is filled. The issue is my potable fill water has a pH which is in the range, but the Alkalinity is 180ppm...

Hey folks, I moved to this house last July and became a first-time pool owner with zero prior pool knowledge. I soon found this site and learned a vast amount of knowledge about pools, their equipment, and their maintenance. I maintain my pool using the Taylor kit to TFP standards and have...

I have noticed a recurring pattern of my pool dropping by 1/2” to 3/4” per day until it reaches a certain level. I have measured a starting point in my skimmer about one inch from the top of the mouth. Each time I fill the pool to that starting point, my pool drops 1.75” below that level...

I notice a lot of people prefer to have bypass valves plumbed with their heaters so they can bypass the heater when not in use because, they say, it prolongs the life of the heat exchanger and because the pump uses less energy to move the same amount of water without the heater being in the...

Two month old Hayward heater. I do have a heater bypass valve and an in-line chlorinator after the heater with a jandy one-way valve directly after the heater outlet. The chlorinator is going in the trash today and being replaced by a Hayward SWCG. Looking in the inlet and outlet ports of the...

My pool is about 16,000 gallons with an attached ~600 gallon spa that spills over to the pool. It’s probably two decades old and the plumbing is not ideal. There are no plans for the pool construction that I can find. I’ve redone the entire pool pad plumbing but haven’t touched the underground...

First post! This forum has been a great resource ever since I became a first-time pool owner a few months ago! After replacing the old WhisperFlo pump with a brand new Intelliflo VSF, I have heard two different noises, which definitely don’t sound normal, coming from said pump. The first is...
