How The Rain Affected My Pool Over Night
I have no skimmer on oir small plunge pool so where do you suggest i add the de?
@williamswindle7047 my guess would be you have a cartridge filter. They don't require DE. Hard to say I don't know your setup.
Just do boric acid cheaper than buying all that borax and acid👍 and you don't even have to prep beforehand other than pH to 7.6 and alkalinity 80-100
About six years ago we used Borax BC Boric Acid wasn't available yet. The pic where I'm broadcasting is Boric Acid. Yes Boric Acid at 50 ppm will lower your pH by 2 points. Thanks for your comment.
Great job plumbing 😮 I need that equipment 😢
What was the tool to clean out the fitting from the existing 2in pipe and have you had any problems? Like leaks?
@@MadLawperformance Clean Ream Extreme® Plastic Pipe Fitting Reamers by Reed. Also the Cone Chamfer Tool by Reed. Zero leaks. After reaming the pipe take a wet towel to cool it down BC it will expand a little. The cold rag will contract it back down.
Thank you! check out the comment below yours. I mentioned who makes them.
How come you couldn't just add it to the skimmer
The biggest reason is BC it's a type of acid and that wouldn't be good for the heater.
Why the pool filter first?
Definitely done correctly. Thanks! Link to where I can buy bulk package of the correct size orings replacement. Thanks! :)
I like that plunger, need to get one!!
How long is that primate pool? I need to get one asap
The Ultimate Pool Tools Pole is a lot better. The I use is 17 feet.
An you move a y faster
The video was made for Instagram. 10 sec attention span Is all they can handle.
P
No it's Mustard Algae under the drain.
What did u use regular hose
Where do you get one? Can’t find it on amazon
I switched to the Ultimate Pool Tools X17 Carbon Pole. It's a much better design. Search them you'll find it.
@@swimmingpoolchemistrydoner5569 Thanks for your videos. I'm curious about what made you switch to the Hyperpole? I'm considering buying one of the two options
You don't mention whether Sulfuric or muriatic acid
Sorry about that. Its for Muriatic Acid. This is from my Instagram channel and everyone knows what I use there. I didn't think about it, thanks for the comment.
Thank you for your reply. Continue with your continued information. Always helpful.
Nice. I had no idea about baking soda and I happen to have a bag like yours in my basement.
Just a more natural way to raise the alkalinity.🙂
Hey pal I’ve been watching your vids from the day we found Bob Lowry I have a 20k SWG pool and I been balancing my pool since one year after it was finished thanks to guys like you and bob god rest his soul , anyways I love your vids when your doing the test with cya & borates calcium miss them bud thanks for sharing all your knowledge 👍🏻
You're Welcome. I post a lot more on Instagram.
Acid and chlorine don’t mix? Am I missing something?
I'm only adding acid. But yes never pour acid and chlorine in the same area or mix the two together.
It's OK to add acid in a pool once the chlorine has been circulating, if that's what you're asking. Just never pour them both on top of one another.
I just installed the Rola Chem Pro 303 digital. Does it need a cover over it? I called and spoke with Rola Chem and they told me that it isn't outdoor item but they would prefer to have a cover over it to keep it from direct contact with the elements.
If you get a lot of direct sun, then yes covering it would help the pinch tube last longer. If you have it outside you will be replacing the hoses a little more often than being inside. Still well worth having.
You’ve convinced me on being even more careful thank you sir! And that explains where all my chlorine went!
You're Welcome!
Google doesn't show area anymore - darn
Yeah I just checked, thats BS
Can you over aerate the water. Example leaving it aerated for like 30 days.
No, you just make sure you adjust the pH with acid when needed. Spa spillways run everyday and people like their water features running as well. Just keep track of the pH.
I run my CYA at 30ppm, and a feeder. Yes I use some more chlorine. These higher CYA levels increase slow chlorine effectiveness.
Is that muriatic acid he’s putting in?
Yes I'm adding muriatic acid to offset the higher 9 pH of Sodium Tetraborate.
What is the name of the tool you use on the Drill? Thank you sir Great Vidoe!
Reed Chamfer Tool. find it on Reeds site or search amazon. CONE CHAMFER TOOL - DRILL POWERED OR MANUAL
Your secret is safe with me...
Got to love all the pool guys in my area, they swear up and down that you must run your pump 12 hours a day...
Thanks
you're welcome
This is not done correctly do not shove all that wire into your load center. Pull the wire out of the actuator and leave a couple feet as a service loop then cut it and connect it back in the actuator
Not done correctly, yeah OK. You just gave an opinion nothing more. If you want to cut the wire shorter, fine. If not that is fine too. Absolutely nothing wrong with doing it this way.
Thank you for this. I have a pentair 250. Everything seems to be working and heat coming out the vent but no heated water out of the jets?
5 gallon paint bucket with lid is much cheaper than a branded reservoir that needs modification.
I usually use an empty 5 gallon chem bucket with locking lid but Rola-Chem gave me that and wanted me to use it. Thanks for the comment!
Calcium needs to be at at about 240. You're okay where it is. If 480, check your tap water. If its high drain half to 2/3 of the water and refill. Then re check.
This is a how to video for those that want a fast way to figure out how much water to drain. I teach water chemistry on my Instagram channel. A 240 Calcium is good for a chlorine in the summer time. If you have a salt pool the calcium should be at least 300 to 350 to offset the high TDS from the salt. Thanks for your comment.
My pentair max e therm 33HD keeps immediately tripping the breaker when I try to turn it on. Spring startup and it worked fine in the fall. Everything in the breaker box looks dry. I started my pump and salt generators, got it all going, tried to turn on the breaker and it immediately trips. Any ideas?
Since it worked before I would check the wiring. A rodent could've gotten inside and chewed up the wiring.
@@swimmingpoolchemistrydoner5569 It's all looking clean dry and good. Maybe it's a bad breaker. It trips immediately upon reset, so not even time for something to be tripping it.
Turn breaker off. Disconnect the load side wires and see if the breaker still does not reset. If it trips, replace the breaker. If it doesn't it has to be something with the heater.
@@swimmingpoolchemistrydoner5569 Thanks I will try that!
Great video! Thank you
You're welcome 👍
How long did that motor last? I’ve had mine for 2 years now, 50 pools a week, it probably works 10-15 hours a week. It is now making a slight squeal noise when I turn it on at my first pool of the day but as soon as it hits the water it doesn’t do it for the rest of the day. Makes me wonder how much longer it has to live.
The motor was still good I just wanted to change it out. The motor is 7 years old. I've used for mixing salt and adding boric acid for Borates. I'm going to keep the motor just in case I need one. Have you tried WD40?
@@swimmingpoolchemistrydoner5569 I have not, I will though. Thanks!
Heh, I never thought of doing that, usually I just try to change after the valve but that's a really neat trick
Thanks! 😊 Best thing it didn't leak. 👍💯
The second method 😊
What's that wrench you used on the high-temp fitting?
Knipex Pipe gripping pliers
That’s not so easy like I had thinking. Thanks for sharing.
It might look harder than what it is. Most shaft seals pop right out. You could do it no problem. Thanks for the comment.
3/5 drop ? Nice truck.
What size speed wrench did you use? Is it good on all Pentair drain caps?
it's a 7/8 Rachet Wrench you can get at Home Depot.
Can you also pour baking soda directly into the pool?
Yes you can.
Wich is better?
Love those they’re so easy to clean
Yes they are! and a lot less expensive than Pentairs cell.
So everything with this system works fine but my buttons stopped working on the cover. The power button works but up/down/left/right no longer do anything. Can I just change out the cover? Do the strips on the inside of the cover need to be soldered to the circuit board or just “plugged in”/attached? This system is less than 5 years old. I don’t think this should be an issue yet but the Florida heat wears things differently. Any help would be amazing.
Did we just do this without showing the product, or did i miss it?
This product never came into production BC Greg past away shortly after I did the video for him.
That was an excellent explanation on how this heater works. I'm currently having issues with ours and troubleshooting it. This was VERY helpful! Thanks!
Pool rep said 10 to 1 ratio bath for 5-10 minutes. 3 to 1 may damage O ring and housing.
Yes 👍 thank you for the correction.
How many scoops of de was that?
I don’t use DE. That was a better product called Fiber Clear. It filters down to two microns. For that 60 FNS filter I used 11 cups. Not the DE cup.
Following these steps thank you!!
New pool owner here what does it mean when it says cleaning on screen ?
The salt cell is reversing polarity to help clean the plates.
@@swimmingpoolchemistrydoner5569 ok thank you very much
What do I do if my rola chem hose connected to the barrel isn't siphoning the chlorine out ?
Check for a small hole on the intake side or it could be a clogged check valve. Could be a bad pinch tube.
very nice so clean and you did fast
