Weekly Pool Maintenance Since 2006 Made this channel to help others! I hope to save you time & money! I am here to help you with your pool! Thank you for visiting! See you in my next video!
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.
Does the “manual lever on” have to be set to make the timer work or is the manual lever only set to on to turn it on manually. Can the manual lever be set to off and the pool timer still turn it on at the correct time?
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!
Im trying to to do this myself in a few days. Just to confirm, if im replacing the old filter with the same make and model, then i just unscrew the old inlet and outlet pipes, and screw them on to the new filter. Wont require any pvc glue correct?
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
If I have a digital on off and timer setting at the pump can I just take the off clip off completely so it stays on the entire 24 hours at the box manual timer? This since I’m using the digital at pump instead
I have 2 of these timers side by side. The timer for my pool filter would turn off but not on. Turns out the timer and motor itself are fine but the little metal rocker bar behind the timer wheel is worn down enough that the On pin slips over and doesn't trigger any longer. I haven't been able to find replacement parts for the T104R so I've been manually switching on my pool pump for a few weeks now. This morning I thought I would be slick and see if I could at least temporarily swap the plate with the metal rocker bar from my pool sweep timer and put it in my pool filter timer. I removed the timer wheel, removed the c-clip holding on the two remaining plates but my problem now is getting the spring clip that is between the two plates in the right position for the assembly to trigger the timer switch. I've tried to find any videos on removing and reassembling these parts but I can't find anything. I'm starting to think no one actually repairs these timers, they just replace them. Has anyone seen any tips on reassembling the plates behind the dial and how to set that spring clip, or am I just going to have to order a whole new timer assembly?
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
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
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
I have a timer like that for outdoor yard lighting, but my lights have been removed. However the timer won’t stop unless I turn off the breaker. The breaker switch also controls my light in my pool so I have to leave that off too. The person who lived here before must have tied the outdoor lighting timer in with the pool light breaker.
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

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.
Excellent videos!! You mentioned that you use chlorine tablets to maintain the chlorine level throughout the week, so it's necessary to chlorinate the pool weekly. My question is, how much chlorine (ppm) should you add to the pool to last the entire week before using the stabilizing chlorine tablets?
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.
This product may work I have no idea, but if you follow the Troublefreepool method of pool care you will never have algae in your pool. High cya is usually the cause of Algae. The pool store tell you 1-3ppm or 2-4ppm of Free Chlorine. But if your cya is 100 you need way more chlorine than 2-4ppm to eliminate contaminants
I have a problem with clorine tables not dissolving in my hayward automatic clorinater when the water is cold what do I do . I don't want to use liquid clorine . Because I have a vinyl liner .
I can’t power it on. Tried pressing the reset button but does not fix the issue. Checked incoming power and that is fine. Is there any other fix for this?
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

Through the electrolysis you create two gasses. cl2, and H2. For the most part they will dissolve, but depending on what is in abundance, you will end up with gasses. The Cl that doesn't form HOCl, will combine with abundant H, creating HCl. Or it will bind to itself creating H2. That gas needs to go somewhere. Mounting the generator horizontal gives an opportunity for H2 pockets, and if the salt solution isn't in between the anode and cathode, you aren't going to do anything but wear them out. Mount it vertical and you will increase performance and life. I just replaced my IC20 that is 12 years old.
