    Help identifying this stain or deposit

    Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't felt the spot yet, the water is still too cold. The pool is about 5 years old and and the stain just appears in the last month or two.

    Help identifying this stain or deposit

    Thanks, I'll post my test results tomorrow. It was completely white and then started turning a little brownish. Could very well be a water flow issue. It is on the opposite side of my steps from the filter return.

    Anyone have any ideas of how to get Wasps out of my control panel?

    Apparently, I have a fair number of wasps that have taken up residency in my control panel. Every time I start punching buttons, they start flying out of the bottom where the wires go into the panel, and also around the gap where my chlorine generator plugs in. I'm not sure how to get rid of...

    Question about pump noise and high filter pressure

    Yes, as soon as I turn the pump off, the gauge reads 0. I have two return paths. One for the 5 pool returns and one that feeds my deck jets. I can't even imagine how they would get blocked. Just had another thought, I guess I need to check my salt cell for restriction.

    Question about pump noise and high filter pressure

    I've been hearing kind of a whining sound coming from my pump motor (Jandy Stealth 1.5hp). Initially, I thought it was the motor bearings beginning to fail. However, my filter pressure (Jandy CV340 cartridge), normally about 10psi is up to about 18psi. I cleaned the cartridges and replaced...

    Question about recurring "metal" staining

    Okay, thanks for the info. I have obviously been getting bad advice. I was told repeatedly that adding the sequestering agent would cause the metals to be removed by the filter. How can I tell how much I need to add weekly? I have tried adding weekly as per the instructions but still got...

    Question about recurring "metal" staining

    My pool is about 2 1/2 years old and I keep getting recurring staining that I believe is metal. It's a brownish staining that begins showing up on the plastic parts (skimmer baskets, returns, etc.) and then starts tinting my pool walls brownish. I add 2 lbs of ascorbic acid and in about 30...
