Hi FLtraveler, Since the last post is almost 3 months old, I'm sure you've had your questions answered, but in case others are curious - I figured I throw up the answers for them. For something lower powered, Pentair makes a SuperFlo variable speed which is rated for 1.5hp..and to compare apples...

Yep. It's serious things. So the leak is at the bib, behind the valve. I replaced the valve for fun, but I can feel the leak behind the bib. I've been shaking my head all morning..so right now, my thoughts are to just manually fill the pool with a hose and down the road, budget to get it fixed...

So..I don't think I have a leak in the pool as I haven't noticed too much evaporation (it's pretty hot here in AZ right now). Yes, water leaks out of that hole only when the pool valve is turned on, but again..it's not a huge leak..more than a trickle..I suspect there may be a leak right behind...

ahh.. Here you go. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the quick reply. Out of curiosity, did you click the link? That should be a public link and you shouldn't need dropbox. If you get an error message, let me know and I'll repost. But back to the pool, yes, there's a valve to turn off the water and right now it's turned off. So..when I...

So my water bill skyrocketed last month and finally discovered it has something to do with my autofill. I did replace the float and when the float is pulled all the way up, I can still hear water flowing. So there's a hole next to the float and I noticed water coming out of it (not a full flow...

Okay..so should I start bringing down TA?

Re: Installing a SWG..Need some creative pipe re-routing adv Okay. Pipe finished. Thanks for all the help and advice!

Re: Installing a SWG..Need some creative pipe re-routing adv so is this what I am going to have to do..smh..

Re: Installing a SWG..Need some creative pipe re-routing adv ahh shoot..yes..horizontal length of pipe..and a maximum of 45 degrees tilt..

Re: Installing a SWG..Need some creative pipe re-routing adv oh..interesting..I guess the manual that is shipped is a little different than the online manual..it includes a couple other things... The pod must be installed upstream from the cell. It is recommended that the pod and cell be...

Re: Installing a SWG..Need some creative pipe re-routing adv So..are we talking something like this?

Re: Installing a SWG..Need some creative pipe re-routing adv Here are a couple more closer pics of the piping and valve

Re: Installing a SWG..Need some creative pipe re-routing adv Thanks for the advice. Just to confirm, are you saying something like this? http://www.lifelatelee.com/poolimages/poolequipv1.jpg

Hi Guys, So I'm installing a SWG (Jandy Aquapure eI Plug-In model) and one of the main reasons for choosing this was easy install and price. After receiving the SWG, I discovered I need a min of 2 1/2 ft of return line and 10 inches on each end from elbows and such...

Okay, CYA is fully dissolved and I'll test it next week (7 days, right?)..Anyway, here are the latest numbers: FC 4 PH 7.5 TA 180 I haven't added salt nor installed the SWG yet..should I try to bring down the TA before adding the salt or does it matter? Oh! Also, the Water Balance for SWG says...

Good reads. Thanks!!

Oh dear..I'm looking in my swg (Jandy AquaPure Ei swg) and these are the optimum numbers: FC: 1-3ppm pH: 7.4-7.6 CYA: 10-50ppm TA: 80-120ppm CH: 175-400ppm I added a total of 8lbs of stablizer which should put me around 50ppm-60ppm of CYA...will that be okay or is my CYA too high?

A couple of dumb questions..Add CYA in a sock and place in pool return(s) or skimmer? If pool return...can I just put the CYA in say...multiple socks so it dissolves faster?

Thanks Bob and Jason, Okay, added 64oz of 10% liquid chlorine last night. Will start adding CYA today (do I need to let filter run 24 hours?) while I add it. So after reading all the posts with tabs, I know I shouldn't use them, but would it be a good idea to use them here since I want to...

Alright! For the numbers...drum roll please... FC-0 (Chlorine Drop Test - I'm guessing 0 because the water never turned pink) PH - 7.8 TA - 160 CH - 230 CYA - 0 (I'm guessing 0 because I could always see the black dot) Salt - ? I guess I need a salt tester. What do I now? Also, I haven't...

Yes, 5 40lbs of solar salt..okay..so with a SWG, I should be between 50-80ppm, correct? So should I just add another 4 lbs of stabilizer for a total of 8lbs or would I just add 4lbs and check. Also, the SWG says that it should have 4000ppm of salt..so do I need 14bags?!?! David

Just wanted to give a quick update...I ended up draining the whole pool as I just didn't have the time to drain half/refill, redrain/refill, anyway..I had a couple hiccups..I had to replace the light fixture as well as repair a crack..SO..the pool is currently being filled (halfway point) and I...

Okay!! I got my test kit. Since I'm going to drain, I assume I'm only concerned about CYA...so I tested CYA and here are some pics. There's not a mark of where my CYA is at..it seems it's halfway to the 100 mark so my questions is...how much do I need to drain? Thanks! David

Thanks!! Still patiently waiting for the kit..I'm was pretty set on doing a full drain as I kind of letting the pool run its course this winter, but I am starting to think partial drain..Anyway, when I get the kit, I'll do a full test and post and then go from there. Again, thanks!!! David

Thanks Linen! Still eagerly waiting for the kit..hopefully tomorrow. I'll definitely post my results. Thanks UnderWaterVanya, I've read a lot pools "floating". I've drained once before without any problems (didn't even know about "floating" prior)..anyway, if it didn't float before..could it...

Hi, I've been reading the posts on this forum and pool school for a solid week now and I believe I am on information overload, but one thing I definitely decided was to quit listening to Leslie's about all the chemicals I need. Last year had a huge algae problem after adding large quantities of...
