    Dolphin App not recognizing Serial Number

    Moved from here. I just replaced my motor and the serial number on it is only 8 digits and not 10 like the app is asking for. Anyone have info on how I can get the app to accept the 8 digit number or find the 10 digit number

    new and trying to get rid of green algae that came out of no where

    Ok, Kim, I will keep it up then. Just added 3 bottles to get it back to SLAM level. I will still use the cellulose b/c it does seem to be clearing the pool faster, I just have to keep backwashing every 4-5 hrs and add more. For swimming, is it safe to swim at SLAM levels, or do you have wait...

    current main light is 500W 120V rated bulb in it. I'm not sure about the light in the spa yet. Looking to get this but I am still researching: http://www.amazon.com/Swimming-300watt-Replacement--120volts-20watts/dp/B00BQHMCI4/ref=sr_1_3?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1438397748&sr=1-3

    SLAM while on vacation!!!!!

    yes, it look a little better this morning. Having my son check at 1000 and 1400 since I am work and he will add accordingly. When I did my FC last night it was at 25. I then added more water overnight (still wanting to get CYA down). This morning at 0630 it was 24. I thought it should be a...

    SLAM while on vacation!!!!!

    I asked this on another thread but thought it might be better to put out as a new one: Background, I just started to SLAM a green pool that was high in CYA and Calcium until I changed out water. I am now at CYA=50 and SLAMing at FC=20. I have seen slight improvement since Friday evening when...

    new and trying to get rid of green algae that came out of no where

    so next hurdle: Going on vacation for a week on Friday. need advice on what to do before I leave. I don't think this problem will be tackled by Friday, and with the fact that I have to have it at SLAM levels until I get the water clear is not looking good to me. I was thinking hitting at...

    Are all pool lights able to be removed under water

    thanks, that gives me the confidence to get this done then. I am hoping the breaker trips only b/c of a gasket leak and not a casing leak. I have seen videos on changing the casing with folks saying you can do it under water and some say you have to remove the water to change the casing b/c...

    Are all pool lights able to be removed under water

    My breaker keeps tripping. I went to the junction box and found out the main pool light is the cause. I have done some research on how to take a light out and change the bulb. Can ALL pool lights come out while the water is still high? It seems so from the info I have found on this site and you...

    new and trying to get rid of green algae that came out of no where

    Yes, I understand. I just wrote it wrong. I meant to say: the CYA was LOW enough to start killing the algae (given my high chlorine level) I thought that filling the pool would lower it and the high content of chlorine with the current CYA would allow the chlorine to start working. I just...

    new and trying to get rid of green algae that came out of no where

    thanks, and i just reread the article and realized I somehow missed this statement: "When all three are true, you are done SLAMing and can allow the FC to drift down to normal levels."

    new and trying to get rid of green algae that came out of no where

    I have read the SLAM article and using it to try to do this shock. In the past I thought SLAMing was just throwing in three scoops of powder chlorine every week. Therefore, this article has opened my eyes. One question on the SLAM article. Do I have to keep the high chlorine level in my...

    new and trying to get rid of green algae that came out of no where

    Two weeks ago my pool started to turn cloudy. I had no idea why b/c it was perfectly clear and the little crappy sticks the store sells said everything looked good. The CYA started to go higher but the store told me not to worry about that. One week (this week) it started to turn green. On...
