Aye JamesW indicated same. I totally forgot they were threaded and never considered it. I think they are threaded internally too but its a matter of finding a union to work for that. Thanks all!

Joy, thanks. Whats the thought on replacing with some screwed unions to ease this in the future? Unless youve a way to unglue previous cuts and fitted unions?

Yes ive removed the clamp. Im hoping to slide the tank from the valve assembly. if i read the date stamp right, 06.

first time pulling my filter apart for deepcleaning and to check a possible busted lateral. Ive got the multiport pulled apart and the o-ring clamp removed. 3 parts of questions: (1) I can not get the tank separated from the valve assembly. 1. Does anyone know if it screws in to the tank? 2...

So does this need to get marked in the app? CH increase is on there, Ph is not.

Shocking my pool, using this: HTH® Pool Care Shock Advanced which is 56% Cal-Hypo Never used it before, normally use liquid chlorine, but stores around are out :( My Ph has shot from 7.7 to 8.3 in a span of 4 days. Ive not added anything else. Anyone else seen this? Pool School app says C-H...

CYA was 90 (original post), so that high per the chart was warrented. FC was 28 this morning. There was some debris on the bottom I got up but its a bit hard short of manually diving in and faceplanting into it to get it, as its almost too cloudy to see.

This was in my first post: FC-30 PH 7.7 (with electronic tester) TA-80 CH-70 CYA-60 Salt -3000 (been holding off since SWG is off to get this where it needs to be)

every day to every other day. Its not gone below 30. Im probably over bleaching adding as much as i have. Been brushing.

Had a big rain event, which led to an algae outbreak. SLAMed. That was 2 and some weeks ago. Went "blue" after about 4 days. Since then however its been various states of cloudy since. I've been dumping bleach in every night, pump running constantly. Nothing I do can clear this up. I can see my...

No leak (or no water drop that isnt explained), no autofill, and no water additions recently. I did backwash some after the rain but before I added CYA, so water level effectively has not changed here. Before you all shoot me, my taylor kit has not come yet, its been ordered. Both the stores and...

Ive been fighting with CYA getting it up since I started this year. Never gotten to where it needs to be. Mostly been averaging about 30. I think the highest Ive gotten it was to about 70, when I was shocking. It did rain a decent amount last weekend, and since then its been decreasing all...

Thanks but that really doesnt answer my question on the types of, just the color and science behind them.

Looking at getting a solar cover. Im debating between a single sheet the size of the pool, and "squares". To me the squares would be easier to remove/put back, as for time being Im not getting a roller rack if I got a single cover. Figure I can stack the squares on a spot on the deck and then...

I have bolts on the deck for the winter cover. Should I: 1. Screw them down flush with the deck 2. Remove them and store them. Im worried if I do 1 they will rust shut and be a pain to get back out come winter. With 2 Im worried that the holes will fill with gunk and be a pain to clean out to...

Aye. Its on my list at some point this weekend to pull the filter apart and see if i can flush it out. Will see then.

OK, so pump gauge was bad. Replaced it. they both agree at 30 psi running now. 20 wasting. Had to go measure all that out up and down. Not as much as I thought, 2ft 3in below waterline.

Said image was too large of my annotated picture of the whole pool. Orange is skimmers, Red is returns, purple is the last picture (possible weird return, see below). Theres no sticker on the bottom. Only the model label on both sides (same). I think this is a return, but its got an open...

Yes. No, I will try swapping. Filter is about 30. Pump is 40. To me this is "couple of PSI difference". Theres 3 turns no valves(other than the filter multiport) between pump and filter. Ive already removed it and checked. Ive removed all lines to/from filter except the waste line and...

So I took the top off and ran some more tests. I was a little off in my numbers from earlier. Recirc: pump is 38, filter is in 20s (its all over the place) Waste: pump is 28 (see inline note about filter gage) The filter gage is above the rotator (below picture), so its going to read...

Ive no idea on history. I bought the house last year (didnt open then) and it came with it. Ive no history other than i suspect its not been run for several years maybe more. Since Ive turned it on, it always runs at what Ive stated unless theres air in the top (when I open/clean it), then itll...

Yes, already replaced it as it wasnt reading anything previously but zero. To be clear, bypass == recirc or waste correct? Im not with plumbing completely bypassing the filter. Yes
