    Not sure if aquapure is working

    I’m all in on raising to 10ppm and doing an overnight chlorine loss test and will follow through. This should verify if I have algae or not Can you explain more on the 3 hr cycle. I’m running my pumps from 10 am to 8 pm at 100%. If I was running at 80%, I assume after about 2hrs and 20...

    Not sure if aquapure is working

    No bubbles at all. I’ve had this pool 10 years but honestly I could not tell you whether I ever remember bubbles, but certainly possible. As far as algae , I may be wrong. I have been getting a yellowish dust like debris on the walls and steps. It brushes off like dust. Its not there...

    Not sure if aquapure is working

    Is there a way to know positively that chlorine is bring generated? My aquapure 1400 recently was showing that it needed attention ( cleaning) by the code. Upon inspection, there was definitely calcium buildup, so I cleaned it w muratic acid and all error codes went away and shows that it is...

    replacement filters for Doheny Discovery

    Where can I get the mesh filters for my Doheny Discovery Robot. I see the cartridge filters on their website for $89 bucks which sounds ridiculously high. Id rather have the mesh but either way, is there a better price option for either?

    SWG and variable speed pump- what's better- low or high speed

    I totally agree w Jim and mas 985. More frequent checking as a newbie or when chlorine is at inadequate levels. Then once a week check is plenty. As weather the weather warms from winter, maybe twice a week.

    Air in lines

    No these aren't fine bubbles. In fact when the pumps first turn on, it is mostly kicking out air only you can hear the bubbles come out of the lines into the pool

    Air in lines

    Since my pool build of 4 years, I've had difficulty w air emitting out the water ports of my pool. Recently this has become worse. I can reduce the air but opening the pressure valve on the Jandy pool filter, but it resumes before long. I can't seem to figure out what is causing this...

    12 volt led pool options?

    I have two Jandy 12 volt led waterfall series in my guinite pool of 4 years. Well one went out and replacing the internal lightboard is $700! I honestly use one or two colors and see no need for all the flashing or color change, nor to have the ability to make my water yellow or green. Are...

    Freeze protection not working on Intermatic PF1102T

    That makes sense on the relay. A scary thought if u were unable to manually turn it on in this kind of weather. Thanks for the help. Will get this ordered tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Freeze protection not working on Intermatic PF1102T

    My waterfall pump did not come on as this last cold front hit. The weather was well in the low 20's with high wind when I realized this. The Intermatic PF1102T was set at 32 degrees and I raised it to 42 just to see if this would allow it to function. The pump still did not operate, so I...

    How long to run saltwater chlorinator

    Skylar. How did your sensor replacement work on your unit recently. Is it functioning better?My chlorine level is holding its own but I'm still suspicious that it's requiring a long amount of run time to do the job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SWG issues, again

    Newmaac. I'm having issues w my sensor I believe and about to replace. Before the issue( little chlorine production) the Aquapure asked for more salt than usual. How do u test for salinity? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How long to run saltwater chlorinator

    So my tests today. The OCLT tested great. No loss of chlorine last night( the pumps and SWG did not run during that time). Took the SWG off, no sign of scale This particular unit is just 18 months old. The above comment mentioned possible new sensor. I will look into that. Sent from...

    How long to run saltwater chlorinator

    The pool calculator gives a higher preferred chlorine level which provides a little lea way for a drop if it occurs but If you have had a lot of luck keeping it at 3, this is fine too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How long to run saltwater chlorinator

    Ok. Tested FC last night and early this morning. It read 5.0 on both readings. CC was 0. I did notice the Aquapure computer of theSWG read No Flow when I checked it several last night and early this morning so I'm guessing it's something w the unit. I'm disconnecting the SWG tonight for...

    How long to run saltwater chlorinator

    No I'm having no issues with the clarity and quality of the water. It's crystal clear and have never had any sort of algae outbreak. My question is more of a request of comparison of others who use SWG with very warm pool water. I want to know how long they are running their pumps, if they...

    How long to run saltwater chlorinator

    This is my second year of our new pool. Last year was very mild. We are having a more typical hot period now. Water is 94-96 degrees and I'm not able to keep adequate chlorine w the generator, so I'm adding near a gallon of bleach per week 13,000 gallon guinite pool running the pump and...

    I messed up!! Need help testing for algae

    Looking at your CYA test photo, I'm wondering if u are doing the test properly. Are you looking down the tube from above until the dot disappears. Should be done in a well lit room or outside. If you are actually reading 130, there is no need to wait, you need to drain. Otherwise you will...

    How to attach solar cover to reel

    Thanks for the input. It seems each system has their own method. I eventually figured this one out. The tabs has a screw that goes through the liner and attaches to a tab. These then are looped to the strap Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to attach solar cover to reel

    I bought a manual reel for my solar cover from eBay. It came with no directions. I was able to put it together but not sure on how to attach the cover. There are 5-6 straps. I assume I need to make a few punctures in the cover to run the straps. If so maybe 3 inches apart? The pool is...

    Need heating cost estimates

    Jason, I've been in the dilemma of a heater for my one yr old pool. I tend to like my pool on the warm side(85) We had a very mild summer last year, which was awesome, but often the pool stayed a little in the cool side(80-82). It would be awesome to be able to bump up the temp on weekends...
