Hi all -
I am super excited to have found this forum and hope you guys can help me out!
We have been in this house for about a year and a half. Up until this past July we had pool service, but they did not/would not fix any of the equipment. Basically, they were dumping chlorine every time they came. Then wanted to start charging us more for the chemicals, but did not (or possibly could not) want to fix the equipment. We got rid of them and called around to try to find someone knowledgeable and reasonable for help with the equipment, as well as pool service. In the meantime, my pool turned green. My husband is busy with his brother (cancer) and I have been tasked with trying to turn our pool back to blue. I have the Taylor TF-100 test kit (received on Sept 19). Before this I received test results from either Leslie or Pinch A penny Pool. I have been trying to SLAM this pool for the last 2 week with no results. I am not sure of the pool size but we were told by Leslie that it was about 40000 gallons, in ground, gunite pool.
Yesterday, the filters were cleaned and then this morning, I did the FC and Ph test and this is what it was:
.5 -chlorine
7.5 ph
I added 2.5 gallons of liquid chlorine this morning, but then noticed, that it looks like the pool is not running. I tried to turn it on service mode, but none of the buttons will light up. We did have some folks come to try to 'fix' the equipment (back in August and then disappeared on us) and since then, my remotes don't work, so I have to go outside to do it manually, but it looks like it is not working overall.
Please let me know what information I need to post to have help on the equipment (I think it is all Jandy) OR if there is anyone in the Houston area that can refer a knowledgeable, reliable technician/service person, please pass the contact info.
I am at my wit's end, I keep buying and dumping liquid chlorine and if the filtration system doesn't work, it is all for nothing. And we are not able to enjoy our pool now that the weather is more tolerable!
