Hi professionals! I have a sensor problem on my cell unit. Now I know that if the cell detects a reading of salt over 4.0 that chlorine production either stops or will function incorrectly. At the end of last year I replaced the cell itself and had no problems at all setting it up with the...

So yeah, I had a problem with my main drain pump and finally broke down and bought the VS Pentair. I'm very happy with it but have some questions about the programming. In order to get the 3 year warranty and the $100 rebate from our electric company, I had the technician install the pump and...

So yeah, I've narrowed down this problem I've been having for quite some time. I have an intelliflo one speed pump, I had taken it apart to diagnose the problem and have finally pinpointed the problem as the reverse screw washer being damaged. I put a new washer in, filed down the impeller...

Does the bevel edge of the seal plate gasket on the Pentair intelliflo face inwards on the seal plate so that the flat edge makes contact with the housing?

So yeah, after a solid summer of no problems, I have one now. My main pump won't fire up. I found the timer stopped in the on position and the breakers in the off position. When I set the correct time on the timer and try to start up the pump, I see an arc of electricity behind the timer and...

When I first came to this site I thought I would like to keep my PH around 7.5. After two months of using my TF-100 and dialing in my new salt cell and run time I charted my numbers in Microsoft Excel. A pattern has shown me that my pool likes a PH of 7.8. My other numbers are: CL-5.0 CC-0.0...

Yes, I have the old style solid 8" Frisbee style main drain top that has become dislodged. The plastic ring that it attaches to has lost its screw tabs and I was wondering how to fix this? I figure I will more than likely have to buy the new style of drain top but this is not a job that I can...

I've read just about every swamp thread on here. I'm wondering how much it costs to SLAM a pool with the TFPC method, on average. I've seen the bottles all lined up after the slam and I'm thinking whoa, that's a whole lotta dough. And the time you put into the SLAM is monster sometimes...

I would like to make a plug for the pool math calculator. It is dead on accurate! I bought 15 boxes of 20 mule team borax and a four pack of 31% Muriatic Acid from a store that has the Hasa.com that Richard320 made a plug for in one of his posts. Each box of borax was $3.38 at Wal-Mart and...

So I've read that I really only need to run my pumps for 4 hours on this site for a residential pool. My configuration will turnover my water in less than 3 hours. What I'm having trouble with is maintaining the proper target value for my chlorine (6). I run the pumps for 5 1/2 hours. I...

...is because human's PH is 7.42. And there you go.:)

I have a return jet that has a crack in the flow portion of the jet. It is bent upwards and causes a break in the water. The plastic portion of the jet has a crack the length of it and has folded in on itself. I want to replace the jet but I'm afraid I may crack something. I've tried...

Don't know if this software will support it but I've been on forums where it remembers the point of which you left off in reading a thread. In other words, it remembers the posts in the thread that you've read. Is this possible with this forum?

...right in the grout lines. It brushes off easily, even rubbing with my fingers gets it off. Wife just looks at me with a disgusting look as I brush it off saying, "it's just going to come back like it always has"! I inherited this pool when I remarried. So, for three years she's been...

I told Duraleigh that I would post results and here they are: FC=6.5 CC=0.0 TC=6.5 TA=120 PH=7.5 CH=300 CYA=80 Salt=3000 I suppose the only number I really have to address is TA and get my salt up to 3300-3400. Thoughts?

Leslie's pool stores offer 5% discount to vets. Home depot offers 10% discount and Lowe's offers 10%. Buy your liquid chlorine from the box stores and show them your vet card. Don't have one? Go to your nearest vet hospital and they will get you your card. At least it knocks a little more...

I'm wondering how often I should fully replace my pool water? Asking around at the pool stores and the manufacturer of my pool, everybody says I should drain and refill the whole pool every 4 years. If my numbers are all within range, i.e. TA, CH, and CYA, how often should I do a full drain...

My SWG is toast. I find myself getting a whole new system (Heliocol) and they offer a Muriatic Acid drip to keep the cell clean. The drip system costs an extra $200. Basically, you drill a hole in the top of the gallon jug and put a suction cup drip line in. The SWG will be positioned in an...

Ok, so this is my first day on this site and I see many posts about test kits and a lot of signatures with test kits. Am I missing something here? I live in the South West and every pool store tests water for free. Why should I shell out money? There are four stores within 3 miles of my home...

So yeah, I've a thread started in the SWG sub forums about my Jandy AquaPure 1400 and saw this introduction forum and just thought I'd introduce myself. For those of you that are looking at my name and can't figure it out, pronounce it like-Zexzis. It's a throwback to the Nintendo years of...

I have a Jandy AquaPure 1400 and the salt cell is in need of replacement. While looking for a replacement I've read that these Jandy's really are not that reliable and I know that the salt cell has its problems in that it doesn't really last more than 3 years or so. I'm getting error codes...
