Pretty much whatever they have at my local distributor it’s usually about 69% strength

Typically, when the outside shell of the filter starts to get damaged from the weather and sun, that’s when we recommend changing out it with a new unit

Yes, you’re gonna want to lower the pH down so that the chlorine can be effective. If the pH is high, then the chlorine cannot kill the algae effectively.

@@ClearlySeen I don’t run the filter when I put the product in right I’m not sure what I’m doing I paid a guy to clean my pool $500 down the drain told me the last day he came I needed a bigger filter so I bought one another $700, at this point it’ll be cheaper doing it myself I have all the chemicals I’m just not sure the steps

Yes, whenever you’re adding any chemicals, the pool really needs to be running unless you’re putting a spray flocculent in like I did in one of my videos, and that case she would have it off other than that always keep it on

I typically would try three or 4 gallons of liquid chlorine and make sure not to swim for a day and a half. If there’s any algae in the pool, you’re gonna have to go higher than that.

@@ClearlySeenI bought 6 gallons and just put 4 in. How long should I wait and what level of FC am I looking for? 12? Thank you so so much from my lil ones and myself!

Free chlorine is good at 3. To shock the pool is important from time to time. If the pool ever gets cloudy all of a sudden shock it just wait until the chlorine drops down over a day or two around 3-4ppm.

@@ClearlySeenwith the combined chlorine at 12 and the free at 3, I have milky water, which is why I wanted to be sure if 4 gallons would be enough.😢 I do appreciate you replying to me!

Since you have a free chlorine level of three already, 4 gallons should be helpful run it over night so it can filter. . Just make sure to clean your filter tomorrow.

I appreciate it. Yeah, that video was made several years ago and I have a tripod now. Thanks for watching.

You do not need any trippers for the timer to work if you flip it on without the trippers, it will just continuously run. It will not turn itself off. Once you add the trippers it will turn it on where the on tripper is and it will turn it off at the time the tripper is set to.

No scrubbing required usually stains will not even come up with any type of brushing. They need a acid to remove them. The one in the video works extremely well!

@ClearlySeen my plastic stairs are yellow was wondering if it penitrates the 4th step with is pretty deep thought you would have to scrub a little .thanks I ll try it

Also, if it’s ever above the water what you would want to do is use a glove, some protective covering for your hand. Sprinkle a little bit and add just a little bit of water. You can use a brush in that situation to move it around but remember it needs water to work properly

If I was servicing that pool locally where I am, I would put about 7 gallons of liquid chlorine in the pool after I have cleaned the filters and set it to run 24 seven the second day you would check the free chlorine and clean the filters again if the chlorine is not on the high side, then you’re going to want to repeat With the liquid chlorine, the same amount again typically that will kill off the algae!

This works on All Pools as well as standard pools

If you have unions you’re going to drain the filter, undo the unions, put the new filter there attach the unions and then turn it on and everything should be good. Just make sure it’s the exact filter and same size unions

Typically the first time works for dissolving the clog. Sometimes it may take an additional gallon of boiling water.

@@ClearlySeen Thank you!!!

Yes that should work!

Anytime we run into issues like that. It’s best to replace the timer itself. If you’re looking for a video to replace the timer/dial as a whole that will fix the issue also remember timers only last so long before having your replace them

The first thing that I think about is to make sure that there is a on tripper on the dial as well you need a on and off and back on.

@@ClearlySeen thanks. I've got both the on and off. Once the of turns the pump off, the time stops as well.

If the timer is keeping time, and the on tripper is not doing its job, sometimes it’s going to be you need a replacement on tripper. if the timer is not keeping track of time correctly, then you need to replace the motor that’s behind the timer

Your best bet for medals is going to be metal out by regal. You can find that on Amazon.

Ok Thanks,what I ment in my question will it remove both kinds of metal stainsI bought the 10lb citric acid, I will be using it soonI..hope it will remove all stains... used ascorbic acid last year comes out right away but that yellow color around my pool keeps coming back and like you said in your video very expensive

Yes, clarifier can be used in any type of filter.

It shouldn’t have been caused by the pool rx but existing metals and or organics in the pool. I have been using them for along time never had an issue with any of my customers pools.

I would only use 8 ounces at a time and no more so put 8 ounces in test it in about four days after to see what your phosphate levels at and then you can do an additional 8 ounces if you do too much at one time your pool will get extremely cloudy

Thank you for the quick reply and your educational videos are top-of-the-line! Thanks

I recommend shutting the power completely off to the equipment before doing the replacement

I’m not aware of how to do that. The flow switch has a little tab on it when that tab connects to another part it sends the signal saying that there is water flow. If you’re having to wait to pick up a flow switch, you can just use some liquid chlorine and chlorine tablets. In the meantime, to keep your pool from going downhill.

If you have a New Pool new pool liner, anytime where the water is being replaced, you have to shock the pool with liquid or granular chlorine and then you add chlorine tablets and that will maintain it. It’s going to depend on the size of your pool of how many chlorine tablets she’ll need to maintain, a three-part per million chlorine level I do recommend shocking your pool every two weeks unless it’s a salt pool.

The replacing of that particular filter with the exact same is shutting down the pool system, opening the air bleed valve on the top, opening the drain on the bottom of the tank, which just unscrews moving the old filter and putting the new filter back in the place and it connects directly to the unions. I’ll try to get a video up on the next time I replace one.

Link is in the description for the tool

I hope you're right, my pool is about a year old and when I do the test, I don't have any solid lights on my salt cell. I run it about 40% output.

@shawnleonard7827 no solid lights means it's new

@shawnleonard7827 I'm confused on video shows 80 percent, means 80 percent used, no lights means it's new

It’s normal for chlorine tablets to dissolve slowly when the water is cold. If your pool needs chlorine when it’s cold use liquid chlorine.

I would recommend calling a pool company out to test it. Sometimes there’s fuses that below that need to be replaced.

It works the same for vinyl pools and plaster. And if you watch the video, it’s the same process. If it’s on the bottom of the pool, just shut the pool off until the water is not moving so it will sink directly to the spot.

In my area, we only have Pentair and Hayward chlorinators mostly if you open it up and put the tablets in and close the lid, like the other kind of chlorinators, it should work the same. I would make sure there’s nothing in the chlorinator at the time of you pouring the boiling water in if there’s packets or chlorine tablets, take them out first
