Hi All, I'm stumped. I just installed a TC9 last week, and was expecting the gen to barely be able to keep up with my 16X32 ~24000 gallons. Originally I had it set at 100% and had the pump running ~22 hours per day. The chlorine quickly started to rise, with various cut backs on % generation...

Hello All, I'm about to pick up a new SWG system. I've traditionally used chlorine tabs in a feeder to keep levels in check. What do I need to know relative to chemistry and salt prior to installation. Assuming my water is balanced for tabs, will I need to make any changes prior to converting...

Hello All, I'm interested in buying a solar cover for the pool this year. We are hesitant to run the propane heater aggressively due to cost. Will a solar cover make a significant difference in reducing heat loss? What are the recommended brands and sources? All help is appreciated. Thanks, Bryan

Hey All, Seems I have a leak at my skimmer. I used some dye and ilosated it to the gasket at the face plate. I think its the internal gasket and not the face plate gasket as the dye escapes from the inside side of the skimmer behind the faceplate as seen from the skimmer top opening looking...

Hi all, I have a raypak 336. It's about 5 years old and never had a problem. I tried to fire up my heater yesterday, started time pilot with no problems. When I turned up the thermostat the burner would ignite and run for about 20 seconds and then turn off. 15 seconds later it would...

My new 9450 misses a few spots on the radius of the wall and now I have a line of discoloration below the waterline, near the bottom of the pool. The vinyl is clean everywhere else, except where the robot misses due to climbing the wall and the scrubbers not hitting the location. There are aslo...

Hey Guys, This was my first year using the 4820DE. What a huge difference compared to the old grossly undersized cartridge filter. That said, when I went to close the pool this last weekend, I tried a backflush and didn't notice much debris coming as viewed through the observation window port...

Hi All, I'm hoping some of you with more experience can help guide me with the purchase of a pool robot. I have a 32x16 vinyl lined oval pool which I have been manually cleaning for the past 3 seasons. Its a pain to vac as my pump is an oversized single speed, and my filter is an undersized...

Hey Guys, My concrete is looking pretty rough. I'd love to cap it with slate or other natural stone, but that's not in the budget right now. This said, what are people doing for deck resurfacing and whats good/bad? Thanks, Bryan

Hey Guys, I'm thinking about replacing my older Hayward Max-Flow 1.5 HP self priming pump. I currently have a cartridge filter, but plan to change that to DE later this season. I'm interested in reducing power consumption and increasing versatility. I haven't decided between VS or 2 speed...

Hey Guys, I am interested in upgrading my current pool pump/filter system and would like some help. As seen in my sig, I have an old system which consists of a 1.5hp pump, c800 filter and an inline chlorinator. After spending some time here I've realized that the inline chlorinator is not in my...

Hey Guys, I'm dealing with opening my pool for the first time (purchased the house last summer) and I have some questions. The previous owner had a pool robot and no vac tools. The robot did not come with the pool so we purchased the vac attachments and skimmer adapter so that we can vac the...

Hi Guys, Ive opened our pool for the first time (bought house last summer). Its 25000 gal vinyl liner pool probably 15+ years old, chlorine with a cartridge filter. When I opened the pool it was green and nasty. I've tried to get my water chemistry in line. I was having trouble getting the...
