Hayward SP3202VSP TriStar Variable Speed Pool Pump Have had no issues for 3 years, installed in spring of 2017. First started tripping breaker once a week, then it was as soon as it was reset. I put in a new breaker and same results. Breakers are the Siemens 20A GFCI DP. Before replacing the...

Hey, while you are doing measurements on, could you tell me how far down does the cartridge hang. I tried asking support and all I got was that it had to be in the water. I just want to make sure that it hangs down far enough for my pool. My water level is about 8 inches down from the skimmer...

I do have the TF100 test kit. Thanks for the advice.

First time in this year, and found the walls and floor of pool are very slick. Slimy/oily feeling. After rubbing hands across the walls, they are kind of tacky feeling. FC = 5 Ph = 7.2 TA = 70 CH = 375 CYA = 75 Salt = 3800 Temp = 85 Water is clear. I haven't been scrubbing the pool walls/floor...

Only have an external timer currently.

Another point, looking at VS due to electric company $300 rebates. Only offered on VS pumps though, no 2 speeds in the list.

Not set on the Tristar, just first one I started looking at the charts on. Why just 2 speed vs VS pump for my location? My electric rates are .16 kWH.

When looking to have a controller to manage the pump (on/off/speed), heater , lights... will any controller be able to manage any equipment (different brands). Example: Pentair easytouch, with a Hayward pump and heater, pentair lighting .... Also can any pump / heater be controlled? For...

I was wanting to replace my single speed Pentair 1hp pump with a VS or 2 speed pump. pool setup: 2 - 2" suction lines (1 main / 1 skimmer) 6 - 1.5" return lines (3 eyeball / 3 laminars) - manually adjust the valves when the laminars are on. I attached some guages to measure the vacuum and...

pool update - water is clear and CC is 0 now. Only took 24 gallons of chlorine (10% strength) and about 2 weeks. Chlorine level is slowly dropping back to normal levels. Now to just keep in under control. Thanks to everyone for your time and suggestions.

OCLT results FC = 4 CC = 29 So what does this mean? No FC loss, but still have CC???

With mixed answers about the hi level of CC. I decided to just leave the cover open all day on the pool and let the FC level drop. Just got thru testing and here is what I have now. FC = 4 CC = 30 So I went from 22 to 4 in FC today. SWG has been off all day as well. The water is clear now...

Did all tests again, pool water and tap water. Pool FC=22 CC=56 PH=7.2 TA=110 CYA=70 CH=425 Tap water FC=0 CC=0 PH=8.2 TA=420 CH=50 CYA=0

Tested the tap water OTO stayed clear FAS-DPD stayed clear as well after adding the powder agent. I'll do the OCLT tonight, forget to turn off the SWG. Liquid chlorine looks yellow and has no smell. Nothing added for algea. (i've never had any visible algea) I did add 5.25 lbs. of...

Did the OTO chlorine test and it stayed brilliant yellow.

just did the test again with a big heaping scoop of powder, FC = 13 CC = 50 Not sure what happened to make the water cloudy. Talked to a few other people and their pools ended up cloudy as well during the same period. I do live in a rural area, but there were no spraying in the fields and I...

I didn't add anything, so I'm assuming testing error. These new bottles get bigger drops sometimes it seems. No algea, never have seen any, just last week it turned cloudy. I didn't know pool math did all this. It is pretty neat. Says I should add 253 ozs of 10% chlorine to get to 24. Add then...

Just to make sure I did everything correct I ran the tests again. Here are the results FC = 12.5 CC = 53 TA = 110 CYA = 60 CH = 360 So from this I need to SLAM and keep shock levels at 24 until CC < .5. (this is a SWG pool) How do I figure out how much chlorine to add to get to 24. (18000...

18K gallons The 12 gallons of shock was over 3 days. just got the test kit today. I do have a SWG.

I've just added pool shock (12 gallons). Water is still cloudy, getting clearer though. Don't know if the DE added to the sand filter, or just on its own. For the chlorine test I did the following 10 ml of pool water in cylinder 1 scoop of R-0870 powder and mixed (turned pink) R-0871 until...

Hi all, been lurking in this forum for a couple years now. But now need some help. Not sure what to do. Pool has been clear until last week and became very cloudy where you couldn't see the bottom. Took water sample to pool store and they said I had no chlorine and salt level was low. Left with...
