thanks, i think that is what we are going to do, run the bypass so the on/off switch is closer to the jacuzzi.

No click when i push the switch. I am thinking the air switch is bad. What purpose does the air switch serve? What damage will it cause if it is bypassed?

I have an old LenGordan AS-2 air switch, my old blower went out so i replaced it, however, i cannot get it to turn on. I thik i may have goofed. :hammer: It looks like the Air switch is 240v. dos thismean my blower motor should be 240? The one i pulled off was a polaris and it showed 120v...

Thanks for the fast response. i wasn't sure about the Tabs, since i have not used them in a while. I will go get some prior to my trip. thanks again

Hello, I am heading out on vacation for ten days and do not have a neighbor to come in and take care of my pool while i am gone. Looking for advice on how to keep the chemical levels where they need to be while i am gone, or at least at a level that will not be hard to revive when i get home...

good to know. I wont retest for a few days. If i retest and i am still not at 40 or 50, but low, what harm does that do? i read everything i could find but couldn't see what harm low CYA does. The reason i ask is i had a problem a few years ago with really high CYA after i bought the...

Pool pump is running, just added the bleach and the muratic acid and stabilizer. i will test the water again in the morning for a while to see what i am losing each day. thanks for the help everyone.

Thanks for both the fast responses. I should be able to turn the pump on in about 2 hours. so will add chemicals then. Does it matter what i do first?

I use magic jack. it is OK, wouldnot want to use it for a business conf call from home, but a normal conversation it has worked fine. It is inexpensive and worth the money. Long calls (over 15 minutes) seem to get a little crackly :x

Found a picture my wife took as i was draining it.

This is a picture from when we bought the house 2 summers ago. Then it got really swamp like green, I already posted the end results.

Thanks for all the help everyone!! After a summer of not knowing what i am doig, now i am a pool owner that still doesn't know what he is doing, but at least has a place to go to get good advice. From Green to Blue!! I was the High CYA post.

Not a great picture. but it shows my water is finally BLUE again!! heavy winds explain the few leaves in the bottom. Took it this morning before heading to work

Hello, Still fairly new to all of this. In the past month I have drained my pool completey, acid washed it, filled it back up. Since i have done this my pool is nice and blue, well blue anyway. I notice white powder in the bottom of my pool all the time now. I have swept and vacuumed the...

Thank you, i am now able to use my skimmers succesfully

How do i close just one skimmer? I have a valve that will shut the skimmers off, but it does both at the same time.

Should i be using a satelite valve for my skimmers? probably a dumb question, but i don't know the answer.

I am a new pool owner and when i try to vacuum using a hose and the skimmer, it seems i have trouble getting enough pressure. i was told i need to shut off the other skimmer to get more pressure to my skimmer i am using. How doi do that? Or do i just need to cover the other skimmer so more...

I am fairly new to owning a pool, this is our second summer. Last summer our pool was blue all summer, this year we can not get rid of a clear green pool color. I was told my pH is 7.0 and my CYA is 100. Is there a way to bring down my CYA without draining my pool? It is a 18000 gallon...
