Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Brother, you wwew blockimg the view all the time with your hand...

Instead of putting in a dummy cell and let water pump through the system to trigger the salt cell i guess you can just manually press the flow switch in the open/non running system to trigger the cell? 🤞

Wh a t size pipes are you using?

How many pool services do you do in a day?

Do you charge extra for this service?

Great idea. Never crossed my mind. I'm gonna use this with my employees

Thank you for posting this video. Just picked up an account with six of these on an Intellicenter.

5:16 there have been tons of stories of people getting electrocuted by pool lights

How can I test the actual timer motor? WG-1573 to see if it is working before I replace it> I have two of these motors and at 120 volts neither one has the gears spinning when I hook up line 1 and line 3.

The bubbles DO make it to every return in the pool if each return was homerun back to manifold. The bubbles don't know which path is shortest at the manifold, they only follow the flow of the water. If the valves are adjusted to equalize flow at each return, then there you go, chlorinator bubbles out of every return.

How long does it take the ichlor to completely boot up after plugging it into the power supply box.

Thanks! Your advice saved me over $400 for a new salt cell!

Excellent method for checking a salt cell ... Thank you!

I get this same call a lot Also the 500 hr inspect cell light reminder that clears by holding the diagnostic button down. Easy $ I suppose. Even when I explain it most clients can't get it figured out and end up changing the cell type and screw everything up. This video is very helpful for them.

So many people in Florida have no comprehension of what pools need. Chlorine is just a part of the equation. Ph cy alkaline and also TDS phosphates etc all contribute to algae. You can't just throw in bleach and call it good. Also everyone here in south Florida tries to run the pump 3-4 hrs a day and wonders why it's always green. And also salt water pools still use chlorine. They just make chlorine via salt in the water. You still have a chlorine chemical in the pool. Tired of clients saying my pool uses salt not chlorine. What do you think the main ingredients in chlorine are folks?? Salt. Sodium hydrochloride. Everyone technically has a salt level in their pool just from adding bleach. And chill on the tablets y'all. They will cause your cy level to be out of control and lock up your chemistry. This man knows what he is talking about. Good channel.

Is that pump self priming? I just put together a system like that 3/4 Hp Pump but just can’t seem to get it primed

Just the video I needed to see after receiving my new riptide SL Thanks

I went out to a call work order said the light doesn't work I reset the GFCI she was out 125$ for that I sat down with her and said you paid for an hour we can talk about your pool or the weather you paid for an hour you going to look at me that long , got much respect

Well explained I hadapool that I done a weekly service on that was perfect every Friday my help always bitched about having to drag out the cleaning equipment and I told him I would rather clean a clean pool than a filthy one any day

How much do you normally charge for this process 10000 gallon pool?

God is always watching me. And he punishes me for not doing it right.

Your right. I’ve been doing pools in new York for 35 years. If you do good work they tell a few people. But if you do bad work they tell 10.

This is perfect. Half-assing jobs will only hurt you in the long run, and make things that much harder for both you and the client. Have pride in the work you do.

If I might add, be CONSISTENT, especially with time and days you service the client. Stay at least 15-20 minutes per service and stop dashing. Our number 1 complaint from new clients is the old guy shows up whenever!

😂 I love it bro. Explanation #1 and #4 “They’re just an asshole”. Right on. I have had clients that they are just unsatisfied no matter what. I cut them loose. And when they leave the 1 star review I just say sorry we couldn’t meet your expectations. Everyone on the reviews will know they are a karen.

We were speaking on that pentair earlier im well associated with a pentair rep best one they've ever had he talked me back into pools he said you've got a chlorine addiction it doesn't leave

Gotta use them sweep 90's Bruh lol.. Just put in a 400sq ft system lol.. so under sized

They have to be tough to go through that 4 minutes of priming time those pentair pumps are set up for

I love that y’all leave enough space in the pipe for future add-ons.

No Teflon on the threads for the fittings?

Pool plumbing mafia would be screaming that you didn’t use sweeps. 😂 Looks good.

I agree with this although everything I've read usually says run it at night because the chlorine works better. What I like to do is put a 2nd set of stops on the timer and run it during the day but also have it come on for a couple hours in the middle of that long span it'd normally be off. So I'll set an 8 hour cycle for the day hours then have it also kick on for 3 or 4 hours at night. Seems to work well and the water is never stagnant for long. It would be interesting to see some science on this and a properly controlled test to see which is actually better. We always see a few green pools a year not running and when we talk to the client they sometimes say "well, we weren't using the pool so we shut it off" with no clue that even if you're not swimming the pool still needs to run. Some understand, others look at me like I have 3 heads :)

I agree on saving energy and in a state like FL where pools are open year round VS pumps are likely a great choice but up here in the Northeast (NJ is my state) we see so many of these expensive pumps that don't make it through the winter and are dead in the spring or the bearings go bad and get noisy/seize. Back in the day when pumps lasted 15-20 even with our winters maybe it'd save money but when a customer spends 1000's on a pump and it dies in 3 years most just want the cheapest single speed option. Agreed on Pentair being the best product but I would say 19 out of 20 pools we see are all Hayward, mostly super pumps. Not sure why Pentair or Jandy for that matter is so rare in our market.

While there's nothing wrong with how you upsized to 2" underground using bushings I'm curious why you didn't just put in 1.5/2" compool valves and bring the 1.5" lines right into a 2" tee on the other side? If there's just two suction ports we often use the 3-way version of these valves and plumb in the 1.5's on one side then put a 2" coupler over the side that comes into the pump so you have both 1.5" pipes feeding into the 2" opening in the front of the pump, no loss of flow. Pool tech and owner for 35 years yet I still enjoy watching videos and seeing how other people work, never too old to find a better way of doing stuff, very nice channel you have.

When do u adjust the top vs the bottom cam?

What avg. speed for 18,000 gallons with avg temp 85. Have a Jandy variable speed

This is why I only install mechanical timers and single speed pumps Running for 8 to 10 If you can afford a pool you can afford the electricity that comes with it plus here in Florida you need variable speed pumps to run 2800 rpm's or higher Because summer here is 8 months out of the year.

Can you do a video of you you use for a pole vacuum and net. Overall equipment test kit salt meter so on and so on

Hopefully you have a wonderful sunmy thx for sharing your knowledge

Yes, i have overlooked this in past pools and most of it came to make costumer happy and running pump less in order to save energy, now i do not do that even if they want to run 6hrs a day here in 100F weather texas, and thanks, ill start adjusting my pools tomorrow :D

Great rule to implement! Thanks Chlorine King.

Interesting that's some great info when you say 1 hour per 10° is that calculated at max.R p m's. So basically I live here in Florida as well.Being it's ninety degrees , you're saying these things should be running eleven or twelve hours if they're a variable speed

Will look for this great tip thank you

I agree, quality over quantity

Great info

So true. So overlooked. I will need to include that in my basic training manual for our pool techs. Thanks Eric!

I’ve found this to be the case with a number of our accts with variable speed pumps.

Just checking the fuse?

Great video! Thanks for posting
