How much warmer is a pool with a solar cover?

How much warmer is a pool with a solar cover? Solar covers work to raise the temperature by the pool up to 12 degrees because the tiny air pockets capture heat from the sun and transfer it to the pool water while also acting as insulators to prevent heat from escaping off of the surface of the water. Will a pool heat up faster with the pump on or off? If you stop using your cover during the day it will heat all the way to the bottom of the pool. It will also heat the pool better if you...

What causes chalky residue in pool?

What causes chalky residue in pool? A white film forming on the walls of the pool is clouding the water. The white film is also filling the filter, and the filter has to be cleaned constantly. This can happen to any fiberglass pool because of age, excessive chemical treatment (especially overchlorination) or most commonly, a combination. What does chalky residue look like on a fiberglass pool? If I tried to pick one up, it simply curled around my finger almost like very thin, opaque, tape. If I rubbed it, it left a white residue that was exactly like what I'd...

Why backwashing is done?

Why backwashing is done? Backwashing is a form of preventive maintenance so that the filter media can be reused. The backwash cycle is triggered after a set time interval, when the filter effluent turbidity is greater than a treatment guideline or when the differential pressure (head loss) across the filter exceeds a set value. How do you know when you're done backwashing? Another industry standard is to backwash when your filter's pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI (pounds per square inch) over the starting level or “clean” pressure. For example, if your filter is running normally at 15 PSI but increases...

Is there a way to bypass the salt sensor?

Is there a way to bypass the salt sensor? I'd like to bypass the sensor or at least try to so we can generate chlorine and I will manage the salt levels via periodic testing. We've had this Intex CS8110 SWG working flawlessly for the last 2 summers with a sunken above ground pool, ~8800 gals. Why do we need to monitor salt intake? Monitoring of salt intake and salt iodization at country level is needed so that salt iodization can be adjusted over time, depending on observed salt intake in the population, so that individuals consuming the recommended amount...

Why is my hot tub heater overheating?

Why is my hot tub heater overheating? A simple cause of hot tub overheating is the hot tub's temperature may be set too high. Try setting your hot tub temperature to 98°F and see if this helps. This heat transfers into the tub water, increasing the temperature. So, if the hot tub is set to filter too many hours per day, it can cause overheating. Can a hot tub raise your body temp? Soaking in a hot tub with water heated to 106 degrees Fahrenheit, for example, can raise human body temperature to the point of heat stroke, a condition...

Is steel pipe measured by ID or OD?

Is steel pipe measured by ID or OD? OUTSIDE DIAMETER Tubing is measured by the OUTSIDE DIAMETER (O.D.), specified in inches (e.g., 1.250) or fraction of an inch (eg. 1-1/4″). Pipe is usually measured by NOMINAL PIPE SIZE (NPS). Although it is related to the outside diameter, it is significantly different. How is steel pipe thickness measured? In order to accurately measure any type of steel pipe, it is necessary to measure its OD (outer diameter) and compare it to the steel pipe size chart. Place the micrometer's caliper on a part of the steel pipe and tighten it into...
