    Is this algae?

    I tried vacuuming with a sock that was hard to find here and couldn't catch the fine dirt/whatever. It disperses but not cloud exactly. It doesn't stick at all. With a single pass with vacuum there is no leftover. On stairs where i can touch it ,it doesn't feel anything and seems like small...

    Is this algae?

    I raised chlorine at slam level and still got this and even worse due to winds.. I am convinced that it is dirt, leaves and bugs. I get 45mph winds here and all the dirt ends in the pool. I have to vacuum twice a day

    https://www.productosqp.com/lateral-sin-enlace-a-filtro-conf-500480n.html I do not know why it failed. New one seems to have no leaks. I have leaks at threads but I will ask at another thread It is at the side. I git a new one. It seemed broken / cracked...

    Leaking multiport vavle from top

    It doesn't seem warped but somehow the inner wall somehow separated from the flange. Since the leak is at the pump output overheat may have cause it. Now it doesnt leak much. The valve seems cheap since the price with filter is very low. I wonder if I get other more reputable valve it would be...

    Leaking multiport vavle from top

    I have my valve leaking from there. Tightening makes things worse. Probably leak got bit worse. I opened it and the only thing I found was that had some tiny rocks stuck. It leaks from the same place. I noticed that the inner plastic tube is somehow separated from the plastic where oring sits. I...

    Is this algae?

    I get this or similar daily. However there is loads of organic material and wind some days. This is only at a part of pool. I have the pump running 12 hours. 4 hours of these are during the night. I have swg. I am not sure whether it is algae. I started vacuuming to waste. I recall having...

    First results out of balance

    https://www.bspool.eu/en/saline-chlorination/private-pools/n-bssalt/ I am from Europe. And this is where they installed the injection for sulfuric acid pump. (I have disabled it). For some reason this works. However the warranty is for 2 years only, so I guess they dont care

    You mean the model?

    First results out of balance

    But sometimes you have to weight your choices and they have cost. For me warranty terms mandate the use of sulfuric acid 30% with SWG. These terms are by the distributor

    Pool with SWG and sulfuric acid question

    I use muriatic acid and keep ph arround 7.6. I did some tests and got this. CYA: 79 FC: 10 TA: 75 CC: 0.2 These values seem ok with SWG and got these levels without much effort intuitively and calculating. I am waiting for salt strips and some reagents for CH ,TH.. I am still trying to find...

    Dry Acid in Saltwater Plaster pool

    In theory it is harmful to the cell etc. However if you do backwash frequently there shouldn't be any problem. In Greece professional installers , inject sulfuric few inches before the cell with automatic pump and no issues at all. Also sulfuric acid is the way to go and Hayward ph pump doesn't...

    Fiberglass pool concrete coping

    Here is how experienced builder put the concrete coping. This method they say is proven good. After 2 days they will install marble. I thought that concrete needs to cure and relase moisture but for some reason failures are not common although everyone does this I am in Greece and they do things...

    Pool with SWG and sulfuric acid question

    I bought a 32% HCL container about 30kg . I should read how to safely add it. I put some and it drop the ph within a few minutes from 8.2 to 7.7 and I am waiting. However i put it in a bucket outdoors and saw fumes. It seems simple though. I connected the pump just to read the ph and bought a...

    Pool with SWG and sulfuric acid question

    Yes I have a sand filter and needs to be backwashed according to instructions weekly/biweekly. But I am sure if disposing sulfates to garden is harmful. Also the machine room is compact burried in the ground. So I worry about fumes from HCL if they cause any damage. There are two hoses. One pvc...

    Pool with SWG and sulfuric acid question

    I have read this before and makes sense. However in Europe there are success stories with sulfuric acid and swg. Also as I said most installers suggest to stay away from hcl I will try with HCL and see how it goes.

    Pool with SWG and sulfuric acid question

    Installer said that I will need about 30kg per month of sulfuric acid. But that seems too much to me and I would reach high sulfates within a month or two. I wonder why Hayward makes sulfuric pump for pH and says it is great for swg. I will probably don't use it. For some reason at italian...

    Pool with SWG and sulfuric acid question

    I live in Europe/Greece. I have installed a fibreglass pool. There is a SWG installed but it is not active yet since installation of the pool is not complete. I use some chlorine tablets currently. There is a hayward PH peristaltic pump installed with electrode to control the PH. According to...
