I have six of these installed 8 years ago. I don't know if just a sloppy install, but two of the six, the PVC pipe connection under the cup has fallen off. Bad Glue, Settling, who knows. They used the white flexible PVC, I do remember that. I have a concrete deck so they cemented around the...

Going to try and be as thorough with the info, so we don't go down the rabbit hole of Pump Lid seals, suction leaks etc. Variable Speed Pump Sand Filter with Hayward Multiport Two main Drains into one intake line (valved), One Skimmer in other intake (valved) Three Returns in three separate...

I have a Hayward Tristar VS 1.85. Impeller has a crack in it. While I'm in there, what else should I go ahead and replace? Diffuser? Bearings? O-Rings? Is there an all-in-one rebuild kit for these that is recommended? TIA

I have 6 Jandy deck jets surrounding pool. This past summer I noticed a couple of them were much lower pressure than the other 4, but since we only use them for larger parties I didn't pay much attention to them. We don't close our pool but on cold nights I'll run the deck jets and fountains...

I'm reticent to post this as I know it's a common issue, but I feel I've about exhausted all tests and need someone else to take an unbiased look. History: Pool in service and under TFP care since 2014. My chemistry is always spot on. Solaxx SWG, Hayward Multispeed pump (circular pump...

I'm at my wits end. I have a two year old install, and the pump is losing flow or has very low flow (pump basket emptying). It might run for a few days or it might happen in a few hours. The only way I can maintain flow is to up the RPM's (variable speed Hayward) to around 3000 RPM...Even at...

Hey gang! This time last year with the help of TFP I had a crystal clear pool after a rough installation that included a mud slide. You may remember my dash to SLAM before our July 4th party with only a week to do so, but we did it! During the year, the concrete under a section of our pool...

I was a new pool owner last year, and fortunately I found TFP before opening my pool and heading down the wrong path. I have religiously followed TFP methods since July of last year, even through the off season in NC (warm enough I kept pool going). I do have a SWG but I commissioned the pool...

Out of curiosity, what's considered a good CH for tap water in a home, to where there's no scaling, water stains, etc? We've had hard water problems in the past and have a new softener that I installed, and it occurred to me I could use my TF-100 kit to check its effectiveness. Since our...

Our PB provided a Purechlor clg125 SWG. It's made by sollax and is the same as the clg125 with the exception of a clear housing to view the cell. I'm running pump 12 hours a day and output of swg at 75% and I'm not keeping up. Swg is less than month old so doubt dirty cell. The specs say...

So today was first day I've had an opportunity to use a mask and swim our new pool. I found a few areas of concern but not sure how concerned I should be. 1) Large craters on deep end wall where the vertical plane begins to slope down to the bottom floor. There are three or four of these and...

Did a search but didn't find any info. New pool and ladder and rubber bumper already fell off ladder. With a vinyl pool I'm having nightmares about someone using the ladder with the bumper off and cookie cutting my liner.

Last night's gully washer filled the pool with mud again...the retaining wall that pool contractor installed funneled water and mud around the end and back into the side of pool :(

Having just completed my first SLAM on our brand new pool I've let the FC levels drop to 7 FC. I've cut my pump schedule back to 12 hours and put 200 lbs of salt to bring my levels up to 3500 using a drop test. Im dosing in the final CYA for a level of 70. I know everything is right but does...

We are the new owners of a Vinyl, 18x38', 3' to 8' rectangular in ground pool. The pool fill was from a city water truck (the pool company provided), but unfortunately from the time the water was filled to the time they got the pump running (they had a leak that involved concrete removal and an...
