I know you don't have the problem with vinyl liners there
what? Cant hear you over the pump!
Helpful thanks. I found this video because my problem is I just installed a brand new S180T sand filter and multivalve top (replaced an old one of the exact same set up). All is perfect, except my brand new multiport valve is leaking from the very top / handle!!?? Any thoughts on what could possibly be wrong with a brand new, sealed product in box?
Are you coming across with the swimming pool with the ancient dream cover?
Never have yet lol
I had to go do the craziest shit this man wanted the wrinkles cut from his liner and patch over them with the step section we had cut out 3 years ago wtf he paid@@ChlorineKingPoolService
If they paying they saying
Might be a dumb question, but if you have enough slack at the junction box, couldn't you just swap the light itself and not have to pull all of the cable the whole way? Or is this done to ensure the electrical taped area comes out and you only have the uncut cord in the conduit?
You can splice anything with the light with the wiring/splice being under water. I hope that makes sense.
A sparky didn't put that in. That was a home owner who is/was an engineer
It’s called integrity
Absolutely!
For a pool man talking about pools you can’t beat it 😂😂😂. Ima let all my guys at our pool group hear this. At first I thought this was a black man rapping
Your music quite good, nice work
Also hello, from venice Fl
Hi Eric I went out to check a jandy salt system today said 80 percent standby any causes for that I reset it and it seems to be working the cell started bubbling so I assume it was making chlorine I don't know a lot about jandy I'ma Hayward fan forced to work with pentair
Hey bud. Standby is basically “off” so if you hit the power button and the display read “chlorinating” then you’re good. If you saw the call bubbling it was definitely working!
Does anyone work in the rain or am I the only one? Lol Curious if you do, maybe you could talk a little about what you think the best gear to wear is to keep you dry. Tia
My entire team does. We have Carhart rain jackets we issue to the team.
🎉
Good advice
Thank you! 🙏
I like that you tell it like it is no bs you can call a product out and not get in trouble
When's the hoe down in Orlando?
I think in March of this year.
I appreciate that.
I've tried to use my customer's solar to cool. The temperature was 1 degree cooler than the neighbors poolwith a similar pool and solar system. Doesn't work imo.
I agree. It can’t possibly work well because it sucks heating pools too haha.
Another Great Video... Thx...
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
I come to find this same thing all the time. I understand it happening once in while, we can't have all chemicals all the time, but once a pool gets dialed in it takes a lot less chemicals to keep it maintained.
Absolutely correct. Thanks for watching!
Tip from retired electrician uncle. Always use a new wire nut. I argued with him and asked “why?” His answer was classic. “You never want to get a call back to a job for a .19 cent wire nut” I now always replace wire nuts after I take them off in any job unless I came without new ones.
Got it thanks!!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
Wish our pool builder would have given us 3 choices of pumps. Cheap, medium and expensive. Instead he was a GREAT “slick salesman” charged $160,000 for a pool and put pool pad right outside master bedroom bed window so all night long I listen a LOUD surging pump. I wasn’t involved in the process, as the lady wanted to run the job. Now I’m stuck with finding the solution. I like the variable pump, sounds like a good choice for saving $. Is there a quieter pump or a way to attenuate sound away from house you could recommend? I thought about new pump and moving equipment 15 feet over so it’s not right out window by my pillow. 😂
Very Very Great tip! I’ll be using this. Thank you!
I’m glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
I put something like this together and I’m having trouble getting a prime on it. I don’t have a switch just a plug. Do you think there’s a way to make a second step so that I can build a prime up.
Are you priming the hose up? One thing you can do is keep the vac head just below the level of the water so the pump has an easier time pulling water to it versus from the bottom of the pool. Did you choose an in ground pump or above ground pump?
@@ChlorineKingPoolService that’s a great tip. I’m pretty sure I bought an above ground but I’ll have to check my manual. I was thinking of adding a section of pipe that could hold some water before attaching the vacuum hose.
Conflicting statements.." if it’s organic just shock the pool and keep the chlorine elevated"..............".It works for every kind of stain? Anything organic or metallic it should take care of it" Leaves are organic, so it need chlorine/ high alkaline not acid
Wow, glad i found this video. replacing my original single speed pump for a variable speed . need to save a 3 way diverter valve going into the old pump . is that 1.5" o/d pipe you slipped inside to cool ? Thanks
I’m glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
No problem thanks for watching.
Brother, you wwew blockimg the view all the time with your hand...
I’ll work on making another video.
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?
1.5”
How many pool services do you do in a day?
Our routes are very close and around 10k gallons so our minimum is 15 per day.
Do you charge extra for this service?
Yes a service call at minimum.
Great idea. Never crossed my mind. I'm gonna use this with my employees
I’m glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for posting this video. Just picked up an account with six of these on an Intellicenter.
You’re very welcome. It’s sorta hidden isn’t it? Thanks for watching.
5:16 there have been tons of stories of people getting electrocuted by pool lights
Yes typically with 120v lights. I have yet to see a 120v light here in my area in almost 10 years.
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.
It should be operational in around 60 seconds after you turn the power on.
@@ChlorineKingPoolService thank you, I was giving one that’s was new that was defective I hooked it up to the supply box and it wouldn’t read the correct salt level and the cell light would stay red
@@snookmania1062 that definitely sounds like a bad cell to me.
Thanks! Your advice saved me over $400 for a new salt cell!
You’re too kind! Thanks so much. I genuinely appreciate it.
Excellent method for checking a salt cell ... Thank you!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching.
@@ChlorineKingPoolService Bro, you just saved me about $400 for a new salt cell! Mine was working fine. I just had no stabilizer in the pool, so the chlorine was getting used up faster than it could generate in these hot Florida days! Thanks again.
@@joeb594you’re very welcome. Very common situation here in Florida especially with the summer storms. I’m glad I was able to help! Thanks for watching.
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.
Yea the inspect cell light freaks people out for some reason. Even after explaining it’s built into the system and doesn’t mean that something is wrong. 😑
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.
I love the rant. So true and accurate. I’ve said as much to clients and they back off. Thanks for watching and the compliments. I always do my best to put out good info. You know how it goes though…haters gonna hate.
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
Yes this one is self priming. It’s a standard sta-rite Supermax 3/4 in ground swimming pool pump.
Just the video I needed to see after receiving my new riptide SL Thanks
You’re welcome. The riptide is a phenomenal vacuum. Enjoy it and thanks for watching!
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.
He disciplines those he loves, like a loving father. He loves you. It’s not punishment Prov 3:12
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.
Good news spread like refrigerated peanut butter bad news spreads like a fire in California
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!
Totally if you charge by the hour make them feel like they got what they paid for if you only there 15m sit on the porch with them ask about other things
They love it when they can set their watch by your schedule. Sometimes you will find a lock on the gate you never saw before. When you knock on the door they are surpised and say I forgot today was Thursday, or whatever. Also they like to put the dog in when your KNOW you are coming etc. One thing about being consistent is if the weather is bad, they accept that this is your time to be there. Then when you splash and dash to avoid being a human lightning rod they won't complain. In those cases I will sit in front of the client's house for 10 mins with the truck lights on before I engage in splash and dash, so at least I am giving them some of my time. I've gotten accounts many times becuase they say "I never see him, I don't even know when he shows up" even if the pool looks good.
😂 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.
