I am in the process of doing an owner build pool in Sarasota county. I am now 8 months into the process. Topographic survey took 3 months. Engineering took 4.5 months, drainage plan 2 weeks. I finally felt like we were in a great place. I went in and applied for the permit today. While applying...

I am nervously beginning to think about doing an owner build. I previously used a contractor to build a pool in 2014 at our home. We recently sold that home and now moved to one without. I have spoke to 3 builders and other than just outrageous price, one actually recommended I go the owner...

In a nutshell. I bought a home with existing spa. Pump is fried. I brought my pool equipment from my old house. New home has 1.5” plumbing. Old equiptment is 2”. Can I hook up my Superflo 1.5 VS and filter to nee equipment without changing plumbing from pump to outlet? Basically will have a 1.5”...

Does it hurt your system to do this? If I leave it open after cleaning, my pump runs dry temporarily while pulling in water, even if I fill the pump reservoir. If I leave it closed for about 10 seconds then open, then I get a large bubble out of the return then all is fine. This is the first...

Of course I am out of town and the wife calls and says pump isnt working. But time clock is. I walk her through turning breakers on and off and try pump switch. She says it makes a knock noise but doesnt turn on. So I figure my pump motor is bad. The pump is a whisperflo WF23- 011771. It is a...

2 weeks ago I noticed my SWG wasn't keeping up with demand. Granted, pool temp jumped from low 80's to 90 and is now sitting around 89. My cya was 90 on April 20th . May 14th i started slamming due to the demand and having slightly higher CC. I slammed at 40FC, or about 5ppm higher then...

I have a goldline/aqua rite unit. Going on 2 years this month. I am not getting any trouble codes, but I noticed when generating on one polarity... Volts 28.2, current 1.59, salt 1700. On the other polarity: volts 26.5, current 3.88, salt 2900. I pulled the cell off and did an acid clean (...

I got done with a slam a few weeks ago. I have my cya at 50/60. I've been doing trial and error with the swg to dial it in at the lower cya. So my question is. Tonight I tested my Fc and it's at 4.5. Which is 0.5 less than the 5 minimum recommended in pool math (normal without swg). Should I...

I am on day 11 of my slam. I've made a few posts regarding some weird things going on during this slam. So in these 11 days, my filter pressure has only risen approximately 1psi or about 10% ( original pressure was 10, now it's 11). Filter is a year old. It is still in good condition. I just...

I am on day 9 of my slam.( no visible algae, just noticed the pool was using more chlorine hsn usual and the swg wasn't keeping up with the demand, oclt at regular chlorine level was 2 to 3) Prior to starting the slam, I was testing at 80/90 for cya (2 weeks prior I was at 40/50, added 45oz of...

I have a GoldlineBlue essence 20k SWG. The output is 0.725lbs/day, it says So... 11.6 oz of chlorine gas if it were on 24 hours/day. Or ~0.48 oz/hr I have my pump set to run 8 hours per day The pool sits in Full Florida Southern exposure sun from 9am-5pm. My guestimate loss is 3ppm/day So I need...

I have a tile which is located under the waterline it is right above the quartz plaster, plaster comes right up to this tile. The pool was built less than a year ago. You really can't tell unless you know it's there. Any advice on what I should do. Are there any fixes other than drain down pool...

Fc:3 Cc:1 Ph:7.5 Ta:70 Cya:60 Went out this morning to a skimmer full of leaves and two algae stains, one on the steps another in the middle of the pool at the bottom. tested chlorine, prior to the pump and swg starting this morning and FC was 3, cc:1. I have been keeping my fc around 7 since...

Inspect cell came on flashing for the first time. Ive read the manual and threads. Seemed like a pretty "basic" procedure. I turned off all electronics, relieved the pressure at the pump. Than unscrewed both connections connecting the SWG. Once the pvc nuts were completely loose i tried pulling...

On friday i noticed a larger than usual chlorine drop. I decided to try the ofclt. Saturday morning I comeup with slightly over 1 ppm loss. By the way, pool water is crystal clear, no cloudiness when brushing. So I bring my fc level to 30 ppm. My cya is 65, I know a little overkill on fc. I...

Fc:7.5 Cc:0 Alk:80 Ch:450 Ph:7.5 Cya:70 Salt:4,000 Water has a dull appearance. Passing the ofct. At night with the light on it looks extremely cloudy. Not sure if this is because of the high salt content or what. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Water has been balanced for a few weeks...

FC: 5 Ph: 7.5 Ta:90 Ch:480: florida fill water Cya:60...working on bringing this up Brand new pool as of March, I noticed one side of the pool has a sandpaperish feel to it. But the other side is very smooth. I have brushed but it isn't doing much of anything. The water is crystal clear and...

I am so glad I found this forum. We just got a new gunite pool installed in SW florida. They did the interior finish and filled the pool last week. But I have a few questions I wanted to ask here before I go to the pool builder. Last Monday, Krystal Krete interior finish was installed. They...
