I have a salt pool. Everything has been stable, Cl 4-6, pH 7.8, TA 70, cya 50 for a couple of months. Don’t add much other than a touch of muriatic acid weekly. All of a sudden on weekly test today, TA is 120. pH 8.0. What can cause TA to jump like that? Value was rechecked, nothing added during...

I have a 40,000 gal plaster pool with a Circupool salt generator. Recently, I've been getting some widely disparate readings from different testing methods. Just now: Cell - 3100 Pool man - 3200 (electronic) Dipstick - 3200 Taylor K-1766 (twice) - 3800 Leslie's - 3616 I know it may seem...

A year and a half ago, growing tired of fighting with my Jandy PCL1400, I decided to switch over to a Circupool RJ60+. Installation and function were fine but after less than a year, my Chlorine levels started to drop. Chemistries were all good, my pool is only 40,000 gal. I sent the cell back...

Hello, I've been reading a number of threads on solar pool heater panels and saw a lot of information. I've also gleaned a lot of data from various websites. I live in Camarillo, CA, near Ventura. Nice temperate weather but occasionally some pretty gusty Santa Anna winds. After 14 good years...

I've had a Kreepy Krauly for many years and it has served me well. Every year or so I replaced the pleated seal and that was it. Recently, it was just too beat up and ready to be put out to pasture. With such an easy and effortless history, I just purchased the new model of the same device. I...

I've been having a quandry with my salt pool's salt levels steadily rising without the addition of any exogenous salt by me. Testing is with the Taylor 1766 kit. Recently it was up to around 4400. I drained roughly 1/3 of the water, refilled, and it tested at 2800. It's been 4 weeks since then...

My Pentair 4060 has the push-pull backwash handle under the bottom of the tank. I’m lately getting a slow leak from the backwash line when it’s in filter mode. I’ve tried cleaning the tank from the top and working the handle back and forth to loosen dirt but that doesn’t remedy it. I’ve seen...

My old Aquapure gives me constant problems. Despite great care and cleaning of the cell, they go bad every 3-4 years at $600-$700 a cell. I am considering: 1. Trying the cheaper Compupool cell. Any experience? 2. Buying a newer up to date salt system with better reliability. Any recommendations...

My current cell is about 3 years old. I take great care of it and clean the scale regularly. Flow sensor too. Recently I started getting high salinity error codes. I checked and the salinity is high, hovering 4.0 to 4.2. Meanwhile, when that error light is not on (which it rarely is), all...

Hello. I have a Jandy RS8 system, revision R. Attached is a OneTouch Wall Controller, SpaLinkRS Controller, iAqualink, Aquapure, Pentair VS Pump, Solar. It's been working well for several years, but a few months ago I noticed that the indoor OneTouch was locking up - after a few button presses...

I have a good old Kreepy Krauly that does a great job. Just irritates me that it occasionally gets stuck on the built-in ladder stairs in the deep end. It's not an attached metal ladder, it's the three steps built in to the side of the wall. Nowhere to attach a ladder guard. I've tried adjusting...

We have a severe problem with water hardness in my area and my pool and salt cell frequently gets scaled over despite my best efforts. I recently drained my pool, had it blasted and washed, and refilled. I'm working at chemical balance right now - Ca is good at 300 and I'm using the lower...

I just drained, blasted, and refilled my 30,000 gal plaster salt pool. Cleaned all the grids. I haven't added salt yet. Our water here is very alkaline and high in minerals, I drained to lower the calcium. I enter the test values in Pool Math: 30,000 gal plaster FC 0 with target 4 - it tells me...

I've given up trying to keep my chlorine levels as high as they need to be just using my SWG - during the hot summer here, even cranked at 100% and running 12 hours a day, the Aquapure 1400 still can't keep the chlorine levels up and I'm having to constantly supplement. I also have to descale...

I was starting to see a little green algae in my pool, Chlorine was around 3 (I usually run 4-6) and I told my pool guy. The next day he told me he added algaecide (I don't know what kind) and a gallon of Chlorine. Today, two days later, I was doing my routine testing and see that Chlorine is...

I have a 25,000 gal pool with 1.5 hp Pentair fixed speed pump. Solar heater panels on the roof, tall single story house. Sorry but I don't have more info now - square footage of panels or anything. I also have a Jandy 1400 SWG. All 2" pipe. Heater works well. Pump equipment is pretty far from...

I have an Aquapure 1400 on my 30,000 gal pebble-tec pool. Recently, I've been having some "low flow" issues. I've been through many of the threads and posts and wanted some additional input please. I've done a lot of troubleshooting and am almost at my wits end. Recently, when the problem...

We've been having various issues with my Jandy 1400 recently, and my pool guy just told me that his digital meter read a salinity of 4800. My Jandy read 4000 but it's calibration had been messed with recently. My Leslie's test strips show around 4600. Leslie's Pool store electronic meter shows...
