It’s still hooked to gas and electric but the water connection was already disconnected when I purchased the house. Is it ok to try and fire it without it hooked to water? Right, if it needs all those parts then wouldn’t t be worth it. The pool was put in in 2007 and I have owned it since 2015...

Finally got around to opening up the heater. Wiring looks fine but looks to be some rust. Any point getting this fixed? It’s a 250k btu, looks like replacement units are 2k at least.

Previous owners just said it wasn't working and had it unhooked. I can open it up and see how it looks inside. Imagine there could be rodent damage as well.

I am the second owner of my pool which was installed in 2007. When we purchased the house around 5 years ago the pool had a heater that had been completely unhooked from plumbing (electric and gas still hooked up) and we were told it didn't work. I had someone over that builds pools for...

Thanks for the responses everyone. Ended up ordering the rj 45, felt like I would be happiest with that model long term.

According to the Circupool website both start at 3000 but I see where those metrics lack consistency across other websites. No sensitivity to salt but not sure if there could be other negatives associated with a slightly higher salt concentration.

The RJ cell is aprox 100 more to replace. According to my signature my pool is 28k g but in reality i think its more like 22-22K so either one should produce plenty of chlorine.

I did look at those but decided around 400 more for convenience was more than i wanted to pay. Looks like a nice SWG though!

Getting ready to order either a SJ 40 or RJ 45 and trying to decide if the ~$130 more for the RJ is worth it. The RJ offers real time salt readings which sounds like can be off by quite a bit and not as accurate as i would like. Since I will be buying a test kit to get the initial readings and...

Well, called the pool company that installed my pool and they have a used seal plate attached to an old motor they are willing to give me. So, might be back in business. Another thing I realized that may be incorrect is I added some of the silicone lube that came with GO kit to assist in...

Thanks for the response Chris. I was hoping the rotation would keep the impeller tight rather than immediately spinning right off the threads. So, sounds like i may be good on that question. I am replacing the pump because it was the original that was installed with the pool. It worked fine...

Just replaced my Pentair Pinnacles Motor with a Century motor that is supposed to be a direct replacement Amazon.com: Pentair Pinnacle 1HP 342854 Replacement Motor Kit AO Smith USQ1102 w/GO-KIT-24: Garden & Outdoor . I was contemplating replacing the motor or buying a new pump. At the price of...

I actually found a guy that came highly recommended that will get in the pool with dive gear patch the tear and check the rest of the pool for any tears while he is in there. $150 and well worth it in my opinion, if it wasn't down so deep I would be more comfortable patching myself. Thanks for...

Thanks for the reply! I will wait for Ray, hopefully he is able to chime in. Interestingly, the pool isn't losing any water other than the normal evaporation.

Doesn't look like the link came through for the patch kit. Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Pool-Liner-Repair-408517Boxer-Swimming/dp/B0039ZFL98/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1531701656&sr=8-3&keywords=vinyl+pool+liner+patch+kit

Ok, I found a patch kit on Amazon that fits what you recommended: Look good? If I cant find anything locally tomorrow I will most likely order this one. I dove down to inspect the tear and it looks to start at a seam which it is perpendicular to. My plan will be to make the patch a little...

Thanks! Able to cancel my order on amazon for the peel and stick. I guess I will call around tomorrow and see if I can find a repair kit that includes what you suggested. Any online recommendations?

Found a 1 inch liner tear about 7ft down on the sidewalk of my pool. Haven’t noticed water level dropping beyond normal evaporation. Knee jerk reaction was to order patch kit on amazon and get it here ASAP. The kit I bought is basically a peel and stick and given the depth thought this would...

Looking for suggestions on what to do with my 11 year old concrete pool deck. It appears to be in good shape but there is always a sandy gravely substance coming up on feet that ends up in the pool. I have tried sweeping and pressure washing thinking it was dirt or sand blown in from the...

This is exactly what i was doing wrong. Figured it out the second time through the test. Beginner mistake. CC of .5! Thanks for all the responses!

Thanks! My problem is the second part of the test never goes clear. I will try adding a larger scoop of the R0870 powder and try to progress through the test a little more quickly. That may be the problem. Could my CC be over 25ppm or is that not possible?

New to TFP and after recieving my test kit (TFP 100) I am unable to get the CC reading to work. I follow the below instruction and the solution doesnt turn back to clear. The last test went to 50 drops and the solution seamed to turn a deaper shade pink if anything. Am I missing something...
