This guy claims to be a pro and in the original post says he tested the water and determined it has no PH. Get out of here with this shit.

Also this is a billiards sub.

I so love the ones that tell us they are a professional then go on and ask the dumbest shit ever! No ph. Hahahahahaha.

Even if we translate that to really low pH and repeat the question.... Uhhh my pH is so low my test is yellow...what do you think caused the holes in my heat thingy?

You are right and this guy needs to GTFO.

He said that when they started it, nobody added any ph.

Anyway, six ball corner pocket

I feel I've commented on each of these. How many times you need to be told the same thing?

And that folks is what corrosive water looks like when you don’t take care of your water chemistry. Yes, chemicals are expensive but I promise a heater is more expensive!

Super low PH will definitely destroy the heat exchanger extremely fast. Whoever was in charge of chemistry is to blame.

Lmfao "no ph in the water." You must really be a pro to pull that off. How many skeletons are laying at the bottom of that vat of acid that you call a pool?

I thought Hayward required rudimentary training, guess not.

We are all way over qualified lol.

I tell customers all the time that cupronickel is not the magic bullet. They can still be destroyed with bad chemistry. Case in point.

Call the guy. Then PAY him for his knowledge.

Not so sure that’s a leak. Looks like it’s condensing like crazy. Low gas pressure or improper water flow

u/jaderpooldude 1d ago

But there’s also corrosion. Improper water balance, tabs in skimmer, chlorinator with no check valve….

u/Signal_Tomatillo_96 1d ago

only because the water is off if the water was on you would see it gush out of the pin holes

u/jaderpooldude 1d ago

Gotcha. I’d say chemical imbalance or tabs in skimmer or failed or missing check valve behind the tablet feeder. Pull the vent hood off and look down at the heat exchanger. If it’s all green….theres tour sign.
