    What is this called.

    This is a check valve and it will function accordingly. A check valve does not work for this. A check valve just prevents water from flowing back. Probably used for water from the SWG not flowing back to the heater, but its not mandatory. You need a diverter path with a Jandy neverlube 3 way...

    Information overload

    No splash chlorine has additives which we dont like on our pools. The frog cartridge has metals wich we also dont like and can stain your new pool. All the taylor reagents can be sold separately so buy what you need. Follow and you will be fine.

    Sand Recommendations ?

    I have zeo in my sand filter for almost 5 years now. Its not something to avoid, it has a different learning curve than sand. If you treat it just like sand replacement it wont work. You need a VS pump for it to work. It needs slow speeds.

    a Q about phospates

    Your CYA of 50 is low for Houston, fine for winter, but for summer you need 70-80. Make sure to adjust when the heat and UV index start to get high.

    New to pools entirely

    Most people assume that is the case, but a pool pump is upward of 1k and a submersible pump 100 bucks. If you forget you are draining and the pool pump runs dry it will cost you dearly.

    Can we get a trouble free pool? I say, Yes, only with all y’alls help, that is!

    Make sure they use an Epoxy based grout. Im bias towards Latticrete Spektra loc and they have a lot of glitter to color it also. I like floor returns but not mandatory.

    Is my pool dead?

    Pumps should not run dry. Turn off imediately. Open up the lids of the pump controller and take a picture. What are your schedules on the ET?

    Pentair Acid Dispenser Help

    Here is another tip, if you have magic lube(silicon), sparingly lub the santoprene tube and rollers. Even the housing on the inside, this will definitely prolong the life of all parts. Mine is 4 years running without changing the tube and no corrosion.

    Bought a foreclosure home with a long-neglected SWG pool

    True, but should have filter a lot faster. The DE is clogging up the channels in the sand. Sand never goes bad, its been around for millions of years. Sand clumps up and loses efficiency, that is why he needs to look into the sand or do a deep cleaning of the sand. More so if he does not know...

    The roller head just pulls out. Might be stuck and corroded. Use some penetrating oil., no solvents. The screws for the rollers dont need to come out, they are destroyed.

    Just as a business opportunity, just replace the drive(450 used on ebay) and sell it. A used pump runs for 1300 bucks on ebay.

    Bought a foreclosure home with a long-neglected SWG pool

    If DE helped clear better, my suspect is the sand filter. Installing unions is a 15-30 min job. The clarifier needs some time with the pump off so use this time to check the sand.
