    How long to run a pool pump

    My cya is about 50-70 hard to tell exactly when the dot disappears. Ever since I got my taylor kit in things have been running smooth. Maybe I should leave well enough alone but I want to run as little as possible. Mostly because my electric service company kills you she. You use over a certain...

    How long to run a pool pump

    Thanks everyone who responded. I was trying to find that perfect balance where I was running as little as possible (power savings) and still keeping my chemistry just right. Also is 70 percent a good setting on my chlorine generator? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How long to run a pool pump

    Solar 3-way valve and actuator

    Just had a new solar controller 3-way valve and actuator installed. I've been running my solar for about a week with the temp set at 85. Obviously it won't heat to 85 right away but I haven't noticed a temp increase from 65 the entire week. Temps have been around 70 for the high and 50 low. I'm...

    Newbie needs a little help

    Ok so I've read the TFP method and pool school. I've got a couple quick questions. First, I read all about how bleach/chlorine/sodium chlorite is the best to use for shocking and for adding chlorine because it doesn't add anything else to the water besides chlorine. I understand that part of...
