Re: New Pool Construction Tyler TX - - - Updated - - - I would not let the corrosion deter you from saltwater. Chlorinated water is corrosive a friend of mine has a non salt water chlorine pool and he say that the only patio furniture to last much longer that a season is aluminum so I am...

You should be able to.

I would only use a silicone based lube. I would not use WD-40 as it will damage your O-ring.

I tested my CYA after the last set of rain and in about a month of heavy rain my CYA fell from 90 or 100 depending on how hard you looked to 70. Is this normal? Thanks

I believe that is the kind of Heater I have and it is very noisy. I am not sure if other are quitter but min sound like a large truck when it starts. I know it so loud because it has blower to feed the flames. This is my first so I cannot speak comparatively. But it dose do a good job of heating...

Well I am officially finished. I passed my last inspection. A heads up of future Pearland builders the latch on your fence has to be in the top quarter of your fence that means if you have 4ft fence the latch has to be 3 ft high and if you have a 6ft fence the latch has to be 4' 6" high. This...

Yeah, If it was not for TFP I would not care what my CYA was. In fact I would probably happier with my PB now and not so happy later. But it just goes to show you should never assume anything and always test and calculate before you add chemicals to your pool. I guess that over the next month...

Well I tested my CYA today before I added my CYA and it was 100. My Pool builder had put in Liquid CYA about three weeks ago and did not tell me. I am glad I tested. He also say he like to keep his pool that high and then begins to lecture me on what CYA is and the fact that you get it form...

Our water temp has been going form high 70's at night to low 80's during the day. I can tolerate low 80's but the kids don't seem to care to much about the temperature there just supper excited to have a pool. Steve

I did speak with the pool builder and told me not to worry about it but when I looked closer I noticed the crack appears to run the length of the coping this was here at installation and I am trying to determine if I want to make a big deal by with holding the final check until it is fixed. We...

I have a question, some of my coping has a hair line crack but some of the crack almost looks like a it runs the depth all the way through. Will this cause long term issues I don't mind the way it looks but I don't want future problems. Thanks Here are a few pictures I will take some more.

"Any updated pics on water color/clarity? It should only take a few days for the chemistry to get close to your actual water color." Here are some pictures of the water color. I hope this helps. Thanks Steve

Suz Thanks for the advise that's the approach I will take when I figure out how to turn it off. Kim Thanks for the encouragement. So for it has went up from 120 to 210 in 17 days. I have been testing it about once a week. So I guess I will leave it alone. I am currently using a Google drive...

Here is the update. I was on spring break and then busy. We will be competing the build this week with the installation and approval to use the heater. here are the latest readings. Fill water ( from the kitchen sink vs the pipe tied in to the auto fill) FC =.4 CC = .4 PH = 7.4 TA 120 CH...
