Just wanted to say thanks ps0303 for the input you have provided. The guy that installed my heater also said I made a wise choice going with the Raypak. He also made some minor recommendations with the plumbing of the pool equipment and I took his word for it hoping it was for the best. Here's...

So I ended up cancelling the Hayward heater and I ordered a Raypak 407a which is around 400k BTU one. My question now is if it's easy enough to install so that I don't have to pay for the install? Or should I pay for the install to extend the warranty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay copy. I ended up getting a Hayward 400k BTU. I know that they have their issues but I couldn't find any other heaters with significant amount of consumer reviews that I would consider. My only concern now is if I will be able connect all the pipes in the same fashion as my old one. From...

I tried firing up my heater a week ago and my Hayward 400k BTU threw a "PF" code. It has done that once a few months ago and I left the heater alone for a few weeks and turned it on again with no issues. This time however it is not going away. There is a continuous small leak dripping from the...

Here are my readings for the past three days. I have used mainly borax and chlorine these days to get the pH and Alkalinity in check. I have been brushing it once a day and looking forward to the one week mark so I can skip day or two and give my arms a rest.My pump has been on as well the whole...

Not sure what the pool guy added, I didn't get a chance to talk to him. According to the chart, for a reading of CYA 70 my FC should be at 5-8. With that said pool calculator has me adding 50 oz. of 10% bleach to raise the FC to 6, the median recommended range. My pool is not a salt water and...

Thanks for those that are chiming in. I was at work while the builder had a pool guy come by and put some chemicals in and clean the filter. I also decided at the last minute last night and poured some sequestrant in the pool just in case. The pump has been on and will stay on 24 hrs. a day for...

Here's some pics of the LED lights. They really tie everything together. I was worried about dark areas but I chose the Aqua White knowing I wanted the LED lights to cast an even spread of light. https://vimeo.com/166766522 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. I haven't stepped in it yet but I ran my hand on it in the shallow end and was smoother than I expected. Not as smooth as regular plaster I had before though. From the way it looked before I felt It, I thought it was going to feel like sandpaper. I brushed it once today and from what...

Thanks. It's 71 where I'm at so still a little warm. LED lights look awesome and I'm going to have to learn how to play with the switches to get the color I want to stay.

Pool filled up as of this morning. It was a lot faster than I expected. Took about 18 hrs or so and by my measurements my pool is 20k gal. Pictures were taken when it was someday cloudy outside. I'll post some more when the sun is on full blast! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will, thanks. So after reading the article I will have to keep the pump on 24 hrs a day for seven days correct? Is that also at full speed or a different lower rpm? Also, should I add a sequestrant? Not sure about the amount of metals if any in my tap water but some advise to put it just in...

I may have gave wrong reading. I assumed because the water did not obscure the black dot with a filled tube that it was 100. Like I said water was clear after the test. Ian now going to assume its 0.
