The Long Road in Trying to Lower TA

[Hszwill]

Ben was right-on with his prediction. Thank you Lisa for seeking help for me.

Fixed
• Took Jandy DE filter apart and discovered that there as indeed a 2 inch whole at the top because the piece that fits into the manifold was crushed and down inside the filter panel. In fact, the whole panel was crushed to pieces.
• Spent a good amount of time rinsing each panel individually. Boy were they all nasty.
• Ordered the part immediately, but realized when trying to put it into the slot where the damaged panel had been that it was too big.
• Ordered the partial panel immediately, and it fit perfectly. Within a week the pool water was no longer cloudy, and the skimmer socks weren't building up with cement looking goo. The new panel is shockingly white next to all the old panels.
• Water is perfectly balanced.

I still have DE problems, but I have decided to move to the Pool Equipment & Operations section for that.

Thank you,
Shannon
