Hi. Thanks to everyone in this forum - this place has really helped me over the years get a grip on my own pool. I have a water feature for my pool that uses a pump that sends water into 2 simple waterfall slits that dump into the pool. It uses a switch next to the light switch. It used to make...

Hi. 1) I have a Sta-Rite light in my in-ground pool - and I'm trying to replace the light bulb. The pool is from ~2002. The direct replacement rubber seal is no longer made - Pentair provides a thicker replacement with a new serpentine clamp. I also have an LED bulb I have tested that works...

I have a Kreepy Krauly Letro Legend II that is about 4 years old - it has worked fine for a pressure-side vacuum except that it gets stuck once in a while. Lately it keeps landing on its side and just staying there. I hadn't changed any of the settings. I tried adjusting the jet positions and...

Thanks to all the helpful people in this forum! I have this weird issue with my pool. The pool water level had remained high for some time. I had already tried to reseat my Letro autofill bobber so I decided to buy a new one. I bought a genuine Letro autofill bobber (I know it might be the same...

Hello. Thanks to everyone for their help in this forum. I put in too much salt and have to do a 1/2 drain and refill. I have a Letro autofill feature. For the drain I have shut off the valve at the outdoor faucet - tightly. I noticed that the refill hole for the water is leaking a little. The...

Hello. Thanks to everyone for your help. I've been able to take ownership of my pool from the help of this forum and I love doing it right. I have a new problem - my Jandy JHP 1.0 just starting making a noise - it's internal to the main pump and it's a loud vibration sound. Oh, the other thing...

Hi, My brother's pool has a high level of calcium. I told him he has to drain his pool, but he said that he needed to know whether there is water underneath the pool since it will cause the pool to push out of the ground. Do you know where he would find that information? He's looked online...

Hello! Thanks to everyone in this forum - which enabled me to take control of my pool and make it awesome. My brother just bought a house and I was trying to help him figure out his pool. I think the pool is older, maybe from the 80s. He has an in-ground integrated jacuzzi with the pool (which...

Thanks in advance to everyone in this forum. When I cleaned my pool filter, the manual said to tighten the bolt holding the filter together down so the 2 nuts were within 1/4 - 1/2". I had measured the distance before I took apart the filter and it was more like 1 1/4" or something like that...

Thanks in advance to everyone in this forum. I have a spa that came with my house. I think it is a 2004 or 2005 model. It is a 4-person spa and above ground. I haven't even used it that much. I was planning on draining, cleaning and refilling it. When I opened the siding I noticed there wasn't...

Hello. Thanks to everyone that participates in this forum!! Recent test results: FC 4 CC 0 pH 8.1 TA 100 CH 300 CYA 40 I use liquid chlorine (10%) & MA (31.45%). The water in my town is very alkaline - so after refilling it in the summer due to the water being old (high CYA, CH, etc.)...

I haven't found any comments to my question below on FC targets. So my CYA is 40, so my target FC is 5. I measured tonight ad my FC is 5.5. That being said, since it's summer/sunny and high 90s here right now and my pool gets a lot of direct sunlight (and loses maybe 3 FC per day when I'm near...

I drained and refilled the entire pool a week ago. I have been trying to balance the water all week. Latest: FC 8.0 CC 0 pH 7.8 TA 200 CH 250 CYA 40 I have added acid to bring down the pH over the week when I wasn't shocking with FC >10. It's 0.2 higher today than a few days ago last I checked...

Thanks to everyone in this forum. I'm still trying to get my water balanced. I'm trying to algae shock today - as I can test the water every few hours and ensure the chlorine is at the right level. 1) My plumbling is such that the water comes from the pool and gets split to the filter and then...

Hello. I am new to the forum and am very grateful for it. I've had a pool for most of my life but finally decided to take the plunge to manage my own pool after a bad experience with a pool man. I just got my TF-100 and here are my readings: FC - 1.5 (just added ~ 60oz. @10% liquid chlorine...

I just wanted to introduce myself to this forum. I just want all of you active participants, especially you moderators and administrators that this forum is awesome and I thank you for it! I have owned a house with pool for a year and had a pool guy taking care of it. Inevitably, I discovered...
