What is involved in going from a (non functional) single speed motor to a variable speed motor? I have a mechanical timer and a SWG...everything is Hayward...no automation. I see that the VS motors pretty much all come with a built in timer, so I assume I don't need the mechanical one any...

Earlier this year, my t 15 died, I replaced it with an aftermarket version and it has worked well. Best part is the clear elbow that allows you to see chlorine gas being produced...which it was yesterday. I just checked and only found 2.0 FC, not good for my 50+ CYA. Figured it was just...

Gauge pressure down to 6psi from a normal 10 to 12 and sand in my pool...does that mean my filter is going bad? Any "tests" or quick fixes available? Big job or home repair? Thanks

I have been to every pool store, grocery store and home improvement store and could only find 4 gallons of bleach. It's 10% from Leslie's and I was limited to one case of 4 gallons. Have tons of pollen and possibly algae due to low chlorine and high CCs. (0.5 and 2.0) How can I slam without...

I am thinking about getting my wife a robot pool cleaner for Christmas. With a 16 x 32 with end steps vinyl liner, what is a good robot? Don't want the "crawler" style that we got for tree when the pool was installed because it never worked. Also, I do not have any special provisions for a...

Couple of pics of my new Arctic Armor Safety Cover after installation this morning. It was very easy to do, a 2 beer job! Laying it out evenly on all sides was the most difficult part, that snd figuring out how the strap to buckle arrangement worked. My neighbor has a laser that we used to...

Is there any rule of thumb regarding expected test results after a day of heavy use? We had a lot of friends over Saturday and a bunch of teenage boys jumping and splashing around for several hours. I tested the water the next morning and found that my FC went from 8.0 to 5.0 and I now have...

Here are my results. I have a 16 x 32 vinyl in-ground with a SWG. Salt = 2700 FC = 1.5 CC = 0.5 TC = 2.0 CH = 300 TA = 50 pH = 7.8 CYA = 0!!!!!! We did get 1.5" of rain 2 days ago, if that matters Guess I better fix CYA ASAP! What order would be best to get me back in line with the...
