Hello, Looking for some guidance on an issue with the pump not priming. Pool has been running fine for years until the last few weeks. Once the pump turns off, I can hear a gurgling sound at the pump and water (I think) is going back into the pool from the filter. Is the piece directly above...

Hello, I use 12.5% liquid chlorine and 31.45% muriatic acid for maintenance. I have been battling high PH and somewhat high TA for a year now and can’t get it down. I moved in about a year ago and after testing the water the CYA was so high I couldn’t measure it. The TA was 180 and PH...

Hello, I have a 20k gallon in ground gunite pool from 2006. I purchased the house about 8 months ago and drained the pool as the CYA was so high I couldn't even chart it. Everything has been going great except I am constantly battling high PH. I have tried to dose with 1 quart of acid every...

Hello, Recently upgraded a Jandy Aqualink RS8 to an iAquaLink 3.0 iQ30-RS. Everything is working as expected however the "Onetouch" panel inside the house has a backlight that stays on permanently. Normally the backlight comes on after pressing any of the buttons and turns off after a few...

Hello, I moved into a house about 6 months ago with a pool that was installed around 2006. I have been learning a ton about it mostly from this forum. The lights stopped working right when I moved in which were fiberstars 6004 fiber optic tower/color wheel. I have one light in the pool, one in...

Hello, I am working on converting my Fiber Stars 6004 fiber optic lighting system with an LED nichless replacement. I have a large pool 20,000 gallons and only one light in the pool and one in the spa. Can you recommend a good reliable nichless light that is bright and reliable? I would like...

Hello, I have an aqua link RS with a 2 speed pump. I do not use the low speed really at all as the high speed (2.5HP) is sufficient to turn my pool over 1x per day in about 3-4 hours. I live in Southern California and It's been getting cold here so I came outside yesterday and noticed the...

Hello, I moved into a house about 6 months ago and am learning more about the pool/spa as the days go on. I noticed occasionally when you switch it to "spa" mode (spa suction / spa return) the jets are on but very very weak. I also have a tropic air blower (model number not visible) but when...

Hello, I moved into a house about 3 months ago with a 20k gallon inground plaster pool that was build in 2006. The previous owners used the same pool guy for the last 10+ years. He only ever uses pucks and powder shock. I asked him about the CYA and he said it's an old myth that doesn't matter...

Hello, Looking for some help identifying normal operation for my pool. I just moved into the house and it has a spa/pool sharing the same filter and pump. I have identified suction and return for both pool spa. Few other questions though, in my pool I have 2 drains in the deep end and 2 drains...

Hello, Moving into a new house in a few weeks with a pool from 2004. I paid for a pool inspection and everything works. Just curious if a system like this is approaching end of life and will need an expensive retrofit soon? Is the pump variable speed? The “oxidizer” was unplugged so not sure...

Hello, I have an Intex 15ft above ground pool and an Intex 12 inch sand filter. This specific filter and pool are new but I preciously had a similar setup. As such, I am very familiar with the equipment. For some reason my filter will slow to almost no output pressure. A quick backwash and...
