great stuff!

I was just asking about these pumps for the same reasons.

I noticed a Harris In- ground VS pump that looks just like the Haywards. Anyone have any experience with this company? It is literally half the price, but not worth it if its not a quality product.

So my super pump died and I am shopping a replacement pump that is more efficient. Looking at the super pump VS because I wouldn't have to change any plumbing. I have 29,000 gallons and I think about 50 feet of head pressure. Just looking for feed back before buying it. They are offering a $450...

well i guess for that price I can try it out and let everyone know.

this is the one I was looking at: Amazon.com : Bonbo LED Pool Bulb White Light, 120V 45watt 6000k Daylight White - New Version COB Technology E26 Base 300-500w Traditional Bulb Replacement for Most Pentair Hayward Light Fixture : Garden Outdoor

I did a search for LED lighting but didn't find what I was looking for. We are in the process of installing a new liner and I figured now would be a good time to change the old bulb out for an LED one. I don't need one that changes color or anything and wondered what your experiences have been...

Thanks...might add some DE to the filter. I don't mind it taking a few days and guess I was thinking that it would anyway. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Well CC is less than.5 and it passed the OCLT but its not clear. I guess that was my question. I knew I had 2 of the 3 just wondering what could be keeping it cloudy?

For some reason my pool looks different this year than years past. After testing the last few days I just wanted some feedback. The pool is right on the verge of being clear but is still holding a little cloudy. I bumped it up to mustard algae shock just to see if that was what I was seeing in...

I ordered the TF100 kit and it should be here by Friday. I'll post some pics and test results Friday.

I don't know what algae in a pool looks like but I think I may have some. Pool water looks beautiful but since I don't have a Polaris right now I have been sweeping the pool regularly. It looks great until I sweep when I sweep the bottom I get this tan cloud of dust that is real fine and the...

After looking at the CYA/FC table I need to raise my FC since my CYA level is on the high side. I added the recommended bleach to reach the recommended FC level. How will that affect my CC numbers? I had already used the calculator to check the gallons I just think it is funny that 2 pool...

Water look good I have a few leaves in the bottom that I am still working on but I am happy that things aren't way out of whack.. Also one pool store said that my pool was 28K gallons and one said it was 32K how can they be 4K difference?

I am waiting on my test kit to come in so I went to the local pool store for a test. They use a "WaterLink system" for testing.... any way here are my results. FC 3.67 TC 3.9 Combined Chlorine 0.23 PH 7.8 Hardness 50PPM Alkalinity 122 CYA 65 Borate 11 The lady basically told me it was fine to...

Thanks for the replies. It's my first pool and I'm just learning as I go.

Dave thats funny you should say that. I did turn it on and off a couple of times and tapped it with my screwdriver.

I just changed the filter sand in my 25" filter with 300lbs of new pool filter sand. I back washed for about 5 or 6 mins and the water was nice and clear in the sight glass. I then rinsed for about 2 mins. So I then turned the pump off then to filter and turned the pump back on. I was...

great thank you

So it seems there is no personal preference as to a brand. So I'll just get the cheapest thing I can find i guess.

Re: Sand filter question I wish I could have slept as well. So if you had to go buy filter sand what would you buy or recommend?

Re: Sand filter question Thanks for the quick replies! I should have mentioned that I got bored and couldn't sleep last night so I took a shop vac and sucked out the filter! I'm just weird like that! Wasn't that bad but definitely should have tried the deep clean first! So I started googling...

Sand filter question I recently bought a house with an 8 year old in ground liner pool that is 40X20. When I ask the previous owner if he had changed the filter sand he didn't know or couldn't remember!? So I would like to change it I guess mainly to start fresh and keep track of it. The...

I'm new so please forgive me but I have looked several places with no luck yet. Is Silica sand the same as pool sand and are they interchangeable?
