Hey TFP folks, My sand filter is showing lots of signs of age. I bought the house with the pool so not really sure how old it is, but the multivalve is worn out and partially pumping to waste when I have it set on filter which is obviously a huge problem and the last straw to having to address...

My motor on my Hayward Super II Pump went out this week and I had bee researching and debating what type of pump to get cause it was clear mine was on it's last legs. I've basically concluded at this point that the additional features and energy savings associated with a variable speed pump are...

I've not been producing as much salt the past week or so and I looked at my cell and there is a brown almost burnt or rusting look on the plastics parts directly downstream of my salt cell. Any thoughts on what this may be?

Hey folks....I'm thinking about upgrading to a Variable speed (or maybe a 2-speed) pump. My current pump is working, but is load and not very energy efficient. What I'm trying to decide is how much energy savings I should really expect to see with the variable pump. I was all set to go out...

I just installed an Circupool RJ60 SWCG. I've dumped 400 lbs of Morton Pool Salt into my pool. 320 lbs 2 days ago and 80 lbs last night. I have salt strips that are telling me I have around 700 ppm of salt yesterday and today. Has it not dissolved yet. I've been vacuuming a bunch of algae...

My 220 Volt pump input has a black red and green wire. My RJ60 SWCG has a black, white and green wire. My initial assumption was black to black at the same terminal the pump picks up its power after timer control and red pump to white SWCG. Sounds like red in a 220V hookup is a secondary love...

I'm getting ready to install a new Circupool RJ60 to my system and I plan to locally convert the 1.5 inch pvc plumbing up to 2 inch to fit the flow sensor and generator cell of the RJ60. I'll be converting from 1.5 to 2 inch about 30 inches up flow from the flow sensor and using a 2 inch street...

I've pretty muched narrowed my SWG purchase down to a Circupool SJ55, RJ45, RJ60 (or the plus RJ versions of the same model). Can anyone speak to the value provided by the extra controls and feedback on the RJ units. It looks like you get the following. - Better incremental power control -...

Think I made a big mistake. I vacuumed a lot of leaves through the skimmer Vac with no skimmer basket in place! The pump basket was in and filled completely with leaves with a few floaters in the water once I pulled the pump basket out for cleaning. The pump was running at 35 psi and hot. It...

I'm opening this weekend and I have a couple questions. I added 5 lbs of stabilizer and two gallons of 10% bleach last night. My readings prior to this where. FC=0,PH=7.4, TA=30, CYA=0 I ran the pump all night and I'm continuing this morning. The pump has been mixing in the chems for about...

I have a mesh green pool cover for my in-ground (details in signature). I would like to keep it as clear as possible before I open in another month or so and from experience last year it started out pretty green. Should I dump some liquid chlorine in while the cover is still on or maybe put a...

I bought a house with a pool this winter so I'm a rookie to say the least. I have read up on here and feel that I have a basic understanding of how each of the chemicals are contributing to the health of my pool. I've been having issues the last three weeks keeping chlorine in the pool. For...
