Re: Recomendation needed for replacing Above Ground Pool fil I just wanted to update this post. Instead of buying a new filter altogether, I bought a can of Silcone spray. :goodjob: The major problem for me getting the filter cleaned out and back together was that the rubber ring/gasket was...

Re: Recomendation needed for replacing Above Ground Pool fil Thank You. Just knowing that different manufacturers don't matter helps so much. Ease of Use is what I need so the Pentair sounds good. I really want to buy the best I can for the money I have. I've started checking out reviews...

I am looking to replace a three year old Waterway proline 175 sq ft cartridge filter. I am in desperate need of a pool filter that is easy to open, get the cartridge out of and cleaned and then easily closed and running again. The one I have is so *&^%$# frustrating and I'm at my wits end...

Thanks to everyone for the help. :goodjob: See ya around the boards!! :wave: Tierceron

I do not know how to do the overnight test. Would you tell me? I really appreciate all the help and patience, from the last posted reply I'm feeling a little "wayne's world" I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy! I've been a bit distracted today, my grocery day, did I ever tell you we are a...

Good Morning... Here are my Thurs. Morning Numbers FC 18.5 CC .5 TC 19 pH 7.8 T/A 110 CH NA CYA 60 Temp 61 So now that my CC is down to .5 but I never reached 20ppm in FC should I still try for 20ppm? actually now that my CYA is up to 60 should I try for 24ppm? If the shock...

Oh Yeah, My pump is a single speed. With no Off switch so I have to unplug it to make it stop, I'll have to figure out a way to rectify this. I also feel like the pump and filter are too close to the pool wall, I want to move it back a bit. I have seen on another post that some one is...

Weds. Night. Just some quick tests for tonight to see where I'm at Here are my levels.. FC 17 CC Not tested TC 17+ pH 7.5 T/A 80 CYA 50 Temp. 61 Brrrr! I have added 96oz of Bleach to bring my level of FC to 20 to coincide with the CYA of 50. Right? I am burning through the CYA R-0013...

I have calculated what I need to bring the pool chlorine up to shock level. How long do I need to keep it at this level? I am also wondering, when can I turn off my pump? I have seen posts that tell to run the pump all day for certain events which makes me think that there is a point in...

By Jove, I've got it. I spent the last couple of days testing and re-testing and getting the proper amounts of Stabilizer and Bleach in my pool and these are my numbers now.. FC 2.5 CC 1.0 TC 3.5 pH 7.2 T/A 100 CH Not applicable CYA 35 The reason I was having so much trouble with the...

Phew! I'm so glad you answered. But you most likely will not be. Geeze I'm just cringe-ing here, I don't know how or why one would backwash. I don't know what I'm doing with the pool calculator, I don't know how dmanb2b calculated the amounts for me the other day. I still don't know what...

@frustratedpoolmom and dmanb2b Hope your still with me here, I didn't get my Test kit Friday but I did add the 114oz of 6% bleach, the box of 20 mule team Borax and the 1.5lb bottle of Stabilizer. The Stabilizer which I tried to dissolve (like it said on the package) is mostly sitting in...

Good Morning!! I am off to get my 6% Cholrine and 20 Muleteam Borax. @dmanb2b -- I understood you didn't want me to follow the Namco Pool tips, just get a laugh about 'em. I might skip the MA for right now until I have a better idea on how and where I want to store my chemicals, I've got a...

Went to Namco tonight and here are my results according to them: Total Hardness: 160ppm Combined Chlorine: 0ppm Free Chlorine: 0.5ppm pH: 7 Total Alkalinity: 70ppm Cyanuric Acid: 20ppm Total Bromine: Not Tested @frustratedpoolmom -- The Stabilizer/Conditioner is granular. @dbmand2b - Your...

Thank you for the quick replies. @frustratedpoolmom -- The shock treatment % is 12.5%. I also have a 1.5lb bottle of Conitioner and stabilizer and a 2lb bottle of pH Increase. I, of course screwed up the numbers in the pool calculator, instead of converting 52 inches to 4.3ft I entered 52ft...

Hi, Bought a Pool and had it installed on Monday. It's really.....................big. It is now filled with water from our garden hose. The pump is going and I've added two bottles of chemicles that came with our pool, a gallon of "shock" and a quart of "black algae guard". I'm so glad I'm...
