I am getting very little suction when I hook my Pool Cleaner up to the vacuum line. I checked at the pool pump end and no clogs in the valves or pipes. I hooked the Pool Cleaner up to the skimmer line and it worked fine, excellent suction. What's the best way to unclog the vacuum line as...

I went to remove my T-15 cell for its periodic cleaning/descaling and I cannot get one end loose. I even got some large channel locks to try and get it loose, no luck. Any ideas on how to get this loose short of cutting the section off and re-plumbing?

SO I was going nuts trying to figure out why my cell all of the sudden was showing as "Hi". Cleaned cell (wasn't needed) reset the board etc... Then after a search on here it said to check the cell typed displayed. I have a T-15 and it was shown as a Type 3 on the display. Very quick...

Being in South Florida the pool is open 365 days a year. I know the average life span of an Aqua Rite cell is a bout 5 years, but is that based on the pool open all year or the pool open 5 or 6 months a year?

Do not know if this is a coincidence or if there is something going on. I have replaced the Board and cell within the last year or so. Earlier this year, put in my new variable speed pump. My problem is that the Aqua Rite will read 3200 salt level. It will be fine then after a few days it...

Just installed a new Pentair Intelliflo VF and I have a question. My old 2 HP single speed pump ran 8 hours a day. The new variable speed will be running 12 to 14 hours a day. Am I correct in that I will now be generating 50% more chlorine that previously?

We are on a well and the good news is the water softener is doing a fantastic job of taking the Calcium out of the water. The bad news is that the TA of the fill water is over 400. I wondered why my pH was staying at 7.5/7.6 but in the last couple weeks my TA has gone from 80 to 140 and I got...

Here are my numbers: FC = 7 CC = 0 TC = 7 pH = 7.6 CH = 310 TA = 90 CYA = 80 Salt = 3200 My pool has a built-in spa that is attached to the pool and the water flows from it into the pool and there are also 4 returns in the pool itself. All the returns are on and water is flowing everywhere it...

Ok, it's been really hot and humid here... 95 to 100 degrees and high heat index the past week. My pool is not screened and gets about 10 hours of full sun a day right now. My pool temp was 90 yesterday afternoon, like bathwater..... I have seen a loss of 7 in my FC during the day (i turned...

Both feet are moving, plenty of suction. It does seems to go left a lot more than right, but it does go right still... Any ideas?

I stumbled on this site about a year ago when I had trouble with my Aqua-Rite cell. I like to be as hands on as possible and do about 95% of the stuff needed done around the house myself. The problem is I tend to be a bit anal retentive bordering on compulsive behavior :-D ... I was fat...

My neighbor is moving and while I was at work brought over a bunch of lawn/garden stuff yesterday that he didn't want to pack. I went through it last night and in there was an unopened box of Fresh 'N Clear from Leslie's. What little I have been able to find on this product (including a few...

I had an episode with a attack of bird droppings in my pool. Weird, never happened in the 5+ years I have had the pool, but apparently it was dive bombing practice! Anyway, I may have over reacted and shocked the pool. My numbers (FC has held steady the past week) are... FC 11.0 CC 0 pH...

So my Kopec 450sc heat pump quits after 4 years. No worry, I have a 5 year warranty. Make the call... "Sorry this number has been disconnected".... Ouch! So after 4 years and since I live in South Florida, only using this unit a handful of times (less than 10) it has an issue. "Luckily"...

Hi all. Went away for a week and pool was great. Came back, went out there this am to check on things and I have a problem. I look at my Aqua Rite display, it reads 3300 PPM salt, Temp is 85, displays what the % output is set at and then nothing. No power LED, no salt generation, etc... I...

I live in South Florida and I seem to have to add about a quart of acid every three days or so to keep it in the 7.4 range. Here is my last water test results: FC-6.0 pH-7.8 T/A-130 CH-320 CYA-70 Temp-88 Water is clear and I have a spa that spills into the main pool for aeration. Is it...

I have two returns the spa that overflows into the pool and then there are returns to the main pool. On the suction side I have a two spa drains, two main pool drains, a skimmer and a vacuum. My question is, what is the best set up for circulation? I have it set now for the only return is the...

I have a 20,000 in ground gunite pool. There are three returns (two to spa and one to main pool) and three coming back to the pump (main drain, skimmer and cleaner) I have an Aquarite salt generator and heat pump. Pool is 4 1/2 years old. Pump is a Hayward Super II 2HP with a Hayward cartridge...
