Thanks for the info, I am not sure I want to tackle the light project myself. I will get some price quotes before I proceed.

No existing light niche there, I would have to install it.

I will be installing a new vinyl liner this spring, and I want to add a light to the deep end of my 16 x 32 pool. Is this a DIY job, and what type of light is recommended? I can do basic electrical, but this one scares me. Thanks for any insight. Ken

Nice Pool, lots of work there. Enjoy it!

Here are today's numbers. FC 6.5 CC .5 TC 7.0 PH 7.2 TA 130 CH 130 CYA 40 TEMP 74 And some pictures. The kids have been loving it! Thanks for all the help. The TF100 Test kit made all the difference! Next project: Install Saltwater system.

It is on a standard 220 breaker.

Pool is looking good, I will post complete numbers ASAP, but I have a question about a SWG. I picked up a barely used Resilience SWG, and I am planning the install, but it is for 110V, and my pump is 220V. Is it possible to use it with my pump, or should I sell it and buy a 220V system? I have a...

Here are some pictures from today. FC 15 CYA 40 TA 150 ph 7.2 I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks again for all the help, Ken.

OK, my cc is now 0, and I have been keeping the FC between 17 and 20. It is definitely getting better. I will post some pics later. Adding CYA, brushing, vacuuming, rinsing cartridge. I am hoping by next weekend the kids will be able to swim. The test kit is great! The FC went from 20 to 17.5...

Please help with cloudy water Just tested my water for the first time with the TF100 kit. The water was clear with dark sediment on the floor when I opened it last weekend, then when I vacuumed it, it has been cloudy since.I think the algae is dead, but it is taking a long time to clear up. I...

I just purchased a Hayward Super Pump 1 HP 2-speed pump, and It came with a switch installed in the back plate on the motor. Here is the place I bought it from, best price and fast service...

I ordered the TF100 test kit yesterday, tired of guessing with the Walmart kit, tired of getting results from the pool store. I will post my numbers when I get them. Thanks for the help!

I have been cleaning my filter cartridge every morning and evening, it is a pain. Do you have any pictures of your setup? I assume you put the 3-way valve between the pump and the filter? What type of valve did you use? Thanks for any help you can give me. BTW, the chlorine is now holding...

Now that makes sense! I will focus on killing it, then vacuum it out. BTW, why won't the filter catch live algae? Thanks for your responses, Ken

Thanks for your replies, I will look into plumbing in some type of waste valve into the system.

No waste line, and nothing between the pump and filter but 1.5" piping. 3 questions: 1. Could I use the filter drain as a waste line, and "vacuum to waste"? It is garden hose size female threads. 2. Would adding some DE to the filter help, or do some damage? 3. Would a floc agent help? I was...

Yes, the algae that has settled to the bottom is pumped back into the pool when I vacuum, causing a cloudy greenish brown mess.

16x32 IG Vinyl Pool. I had issues last year with my cartridge filter passing debris back into the pool while vacuuming. I bought new cartridges, but nothing seemed to help. My 3/4HP pump motor was making lots of noise, and sometimes required a smack to get it going, so I just purchased and...
