Replaced the entire impeller and drive along with motor. The housing is the only item we did not replace. Haven't noted excess vibration. We had a warranty for the motor but trying to have a pool company come to the house was hard to schedule. Did bring the motor to the pool store. They said a...

Hayward pump replaced due to seal leakage which caused motor to corroded, noticed upon opening pool. Shaft was locked up. Ordered new drivetrain parts in case a crack I couldn't see and quality seal set. Installed and seal is already leaking again. Lubed correctly. Any ideas?

Today was the first day without rain, pump ran 7hrs

Noticed some eye burning today. Have had a whole week of rain. pH is 7.2 which is where it has stayed pretty much since opening. My alkalinity today is 40. Last I checked it was 90 (3 wks ago) Have not had to add acid this season. Would rain change the alkalinity this much? Should I add baking...

TA 90 ph 7.2 CYA 30 just enough to reach 60 CH 100 FC 7 Temp 69-70 today Should I add borax to bring up ph with the TA at 90 or only use aereation? Can use the jet pointed up. Bought the borax but scared to mess up.

Just opened pool and added water. Can't get any better/easier!

The manual does mention 5 lb Bypass Valve Kit (Kit STK0135). Not sure if this is also called a check valve. We have a single speed pump, unsure what the pressure is or will be. Would you think the pump would push out higher then 70GPM. Thanks for your help! Trouble free pool is the way to go!!

Also do I need to install a 5 lb. spring check valve before the heater. We already planned to have a way to close the line off from heater if needed.

Have ordered a aquacal SQ225 heater, 8-10 wks out. Do I have to have a check valve between the chlorinator and the heater. Planning the plumbing. Never heard of this and just ran across a post on Facebook.

If we do indeed get the aquacal normal version sq225, it states min/max speed of 30/70 for water flow. Right now I have single speed pump so no problem. Long term when I upgrade the pump to a vs would it work with a vs at a low setting?

Looking to add a electric heat pump heater prior to next season. Pool has a lot of shade from neighbors. Temp occasionally reaches 84-85. Usually stays 81-83. Too cold for the littles. What would you recommend? I understand we will need the highest BTU available. My pool is always the clearest...

Anyone else who bought the warrier pentair SE have issues with the cord raving up? I know it has the swive but mine still has to be manually unraveled. This is the only thing I have issues with.

I did order the Circupool rj45 plus.

New house to me in October. Have a jandy aquapure Ei 35. Stopped working today. Only shows on or off, when I push output setting nothing happens. Did the reset I have seen on here, by pushing the button under the N. Now reading shows cleaning. Still pressing out put and nothing happens. Also...

Can I use my warrior Pentair SE while slamming the pool? Would the higher chlorine harm it? cya is 40, Slamming at 16. Thanks!!

My rebate was approved as well!!

https://www.pentair.com/en/cleaner-rebates/qualifying-products.html It does show that the purchase should be before Dec 2019. I am going to submit mine and see if they except it.

Thanks for all the info!! I have ordered the Pentair as well.

Looking into purchasing a Dolphin, want to stay under $800. What is the best model in this price range? I did see someone recommend using Marina pools. Definitely want swivel cord. Have ran across the Dolphin Nautilus on Amazon.

Swg is off, as recommended

Yes, selected 10% bleach on pool math. I am using 10% home depot chlorine. Even if I had wrong value selected, pool math shows a raise of about that much if I had a 5500gallon pool. The reading was at least 4 hours from last addition. I added half of recommend amount today to raise it to my...

Again yesterday evening FC reading was 12.5 I added 109 ozof 10 liquid chlorine per pool math and this am it was 26. What is going on??? I am using 10ml of water and adding one scoop and counting drops as directed by directions. Could my test kit be bad??

I am slamming and got a little heavy handed yesterday after FC dropped to 12.5 while I was at work. This morning it was 23. I haven't found much info about how bad it is to go way over the target of 16. I will not do it again!! Should I be vacuuming on filter? That is what I have been doing.

I raise cya to 40 and tried to allow FC to drift down, vacuumed to filter two days ago and pool tinted green. When brushing there was a plum of green when two weeks ago when we moved in. I did bring pH down to 7.5 and prior to slam it was still at 7.5. I started slam yesterday. With FC at 16 pH...

Any thing specific I need to do other than removing the plug the pool company put there instead of just replacing the guage? Do I just pace the guage with tape, no worry of pressure or water shooting out? Does the pump need to off? Also, I need to vacuum. Can I place hose in skimmer hole with...

Thanks! They had the pump set to run 12 hrs at 60%. I believe this is why it is so high. I plan to decrease the time.

FC – 8 CC – 0.5 pH- 8.2 TA – 190 CH – 150 CYA – 20 Br -- 10 Salt 3200 Temp --77 Pool appears clear. Slight brownish on some sides, which brushes away. Just purchased home on Wed and received test kits today (Mon). Previous owner has a pool guy. I will not be using him next year! He did...
