Bearing...does that mean a new motor?

When I went to start the pump after a filter cleaning, the motor hummed so I stopped it. I tried to start it again and it started up. Whew. I had to stop it again because it was not priming and I poured some water in the strainer basket and sealed it all up. I flipped the switch and I got a...

It is a Crystal Clear II from leslie's pool supply. Is muriatic acid necessary to clean the grids? How do I do that? My hubby hates me using acid because it is so caustic and could be dangerous...He barely lets me add it to the pool. =)

I will shock again. I have soaked the grids in some chlorine and water. I do not have any instructions from a manufacturer, this is our first home with a pool...Is there more to cleaning them than just some chlorine and water? UGH. Thank you for the help.

So confused about what is going on? FC 1 CC 1 TC 2? Ph 7.2 TA 110 CH 350 CYA 50 The pump gets up to 26 lbs of pressure and the cleaner will not move. When I let it skim, the filter is still showing 20+ lbs. I have added chlorine, more chlorine and more chlorine. Filter media is clean, just...

:oops: I didn't know that. I usually shock the pool afterwards.

We are looking to install a vacuum port in the pool. Are there any suggestions? I believe we would need to have it below the water line, but does it need to be a certain depth? Also, I was wondering about flip covers to keep the hole covered while I have swimmers. Do they make such a item or...

We are going to have a port put into the wall for our Navigator. YEAH! :whoot: I am interested in purchasing the CompuPool Salt Water Pool Chlorinator CPSC24 30K Gallon model and installing it at the same time. Does anyone have an opinion on how well this model works? Money is a little tight...

Thank you Pool Mom! I will try this in the morning with the pump on... I have been fighting with this for too long and I really would enjoy having everything "in ranges" that are manageable. :-D I did read the TA Lowering in the pool school... I guess I just didn't know that the pump should...

Pool Pop: I let the pump run for an hour after the acid dump. I was just reiterating that the pump runs again in the morning. Water bear: Do I need to turn the eyeballs so they do not break the surface of the water?

Aeration: I have the return line eyeballs positioned up to break the surface of the water. There are no bubbles or anything but I understood this to be enough to aerate. This is not fresh plaster. As far as I can tell, it has been there a couple of years. (We purchased the house with the pool...

HELP!!! I have been lowering the pH level with acid and the TA is not going down, or am I just impatient? I put in one gallon of acid and the TA dropped to 210 (from 270) in a couple of days. Just like Jason said, the pH started rising. I brought it down again with another gallon of acid to 7.2...

BTW IvyLeager... Penns go great with a big silver cup! :party:

Thank you Jason! I think I will use the pucks for a bit and when everything comes to a balancing point I will switch to liquid chlorine and using the trouble free method! Thank you again for all the help!

Thank you for the help... The water is no longer green, it is a lovely blue color. It did not look blue when we purchased the house, but who knows what was going on with the chemistry. (I certainly didn't.) :oops: The stats: FC 3 pH 7.5 TA 270 CH 320 CYA 25 For the TA, I added some acid to...

The color is the same with the pool full. I just don't remember it having a green-blue color. It is supposed to be pebble. When we purchased the house, it was clear with the pebble showing. Now it looks green-blue. I really like it, but I am afraid it has copper or something...

Any ideas on the color??? It didn't seem to be that color before. I added CYA, chlorine and acid to drop pH. I will take a reading in the morning. Thanks for the help. :)

I am filling my pool. Here are the test numbers: Cl 0 pH 7.4 TA 270 CH 320 CYA 0 Also, my pool looks green-blue...

Can someone make a suggestion for a light? Our pool is 32 ft. long and 16 wide. The light is in the deep end only. The person coming to plumb the return lines made a suggestion, but I didn't understand. He said the light he would use will last about 10 years and was 500W. Not sure where to look...

Penguins may be tasty, but you have to catch them first! :P Great game from both sides. I cannot believe how quickly those teams move the puck from one end to the other. The Ducks don't move that well on a good day! I must also say the puck handling is really good. If the rest of the games...

Well that was just a terrible last game for the Ducks! I cannot believe they were unable to score with 5 on3. Not once, but twice! UGH! Well, since Ducks are out.... [center:3tipuyw0]GO PENNS!!![/center:3tipuyw0] I do not feel this is wrong...I was born there. :-D

The old ports will be filled with grey sealer and the new ports will be located in the shallow end and between the old location. We were wondering if there should be a third port, or if two would be enough along with a hayward navigator cleaner...

Found a company that is reputable and very nice. Family business and actually provided a free quote and advice! We will be smashing concrete and they will be installing 2 return ports. I really think we should do 3...Any opinions? I will take a pic of what we have now.

[center:3kvcmo2k]GO DUCKS!!![/center:3kvcmo2k] Whoop! Whoop! The cup is heading to Anaheim for a repeat visit...I can feel it! :goodjob:

I think Ferris is lost... No one has a pool builder that they like... Says a lot about builders.

Ok...after careful consideration...we are thinking the salt water is not going to kill the already dead grass. I think the abundance of DE on the ground has already disposed of the grass. :lol: Due to too much backflushing, we thought the salt would really do the grass in. Now that I realize...

Congrats on the pool opening! Awesome sunrise! OMG that is so beautiful!!!!

Ducks Fan here! :-D We have been following hockey now for a couple of years and found it to very exciting...I love to be the obnoxious screamer right in front of you! :evil: The season is still looking up for us!

Thank you for the suggestions. Maybe I will skip the led lighting due to my pebble being so dark.
