S200 is doing a terrible job keeping the bottom clean this year. It's not getting to a lot of the areas. There's a black flap that has fallen off a couple times & one of the scrubbers are coming loose. I'm wondering if the loose scrubber is causing the cleaner to move in a large arc instead of...

for checking freshwater aquariums? I seem to recall some members having aquariums & I'm about to setup a sixty gallon tank. Since being a member I now understand the importance of testing & want to do this right.

Looks like it's time for a new pump or motor. I was planning on putting in new bearings & seal during the off season but when I took it apart the plastic that holds the switch contacts & capacitor was broken where each of the four screws are. The centrifugal switch was also very brittle and fell...

Don't know if this has come up before. Leslie's went public last October. Leslie's stock price So here's my evil plan: 1) We all invest heavily in Leslie's stock. 2) We stop promoting liquid chlorine and suggest everyone get their water tested at Leslie's and buy everything they recommend. 3)...

I've had the S200 for a few years but for some reason never asked this question. Is it normal for this cleaner to do wheelies? The tracks will be 90 degrees from the pool bottom.

My daughter's new pool came with the following union. Is this something new? Local code also wants a bonding wire around the outside perimeter of the above ground pool. Apparently it's just in the ground & not connected to the pool frame. The installers connected a bonding wire from the motor to...

Merged a large number of threads on this theme into one - TFP Mod - 4/30/21 Apparently the chemical manufacturer that started on fire from hurricane Laura makes pool chlorine. I wonder what percentage of the USA's supply is made there.

Wild Wings Accident Posting this as a reminder for all of us to be careful when using chlorine.

What type of plug & outlet should be used for a pump motor? I believe the original motor was 1 hp but I'm currently using a 3/4 hp. I'm pretty certain the pool builder used an L5-30P plug. It's a 3 prong that you twist to lock in place, rated for 120V & 30 amps. The original plug & outlet show...

Pool Math doesn't seem to putting in the suggested levels when I choose Trouble Free Pool. I don't recall ever having a problem with this. What could I be doing wrong?

Got home from work today & noticed something by the pool skimmer. Yep, it's a big fat bat hanging upside down from the coping. I left it alone so far but plan on evicting the varmint if it's still there tomorrow.

Here's my plan, wire a Stenner 45MPHP2 (fixed rate - 3 gallons per day) to run with the filter pump. I have the pump timer set to run 6 hours a day so the 45MPHP2 will put out 3/4 of a gallon or 96 ounces per day. I only need about 24 ounces so I'll add 3 gallons of water for every gallon of...

This is going to be an expensive fix. http://wfla.com/2015/08/03/pool-pops-out-of-ground-in-pasco/

I can't remember the last time it looked this good.

Re: SLAM question - Filtration and FC consumption moved my Divin Dave Tim - Can you go into this some more. I'm not understanding why dead algae/insects are any better being in the filter than in the pool.

PH looked a little lighter than 7.2 let's call it 7.1. I added 10 oz of soda ash. Chlorine with OTO showed 0 when drops were initial added a few minutes later showed around 2.5 FC might have showed a hint of pink, 1 drop & was clear - call it .5 CC 6 drops = 3.0 (I expected this to be higher)...
