I went inside to do a search and saw that post after the fact. It’s 28 now but has held steady around 15 the last few nights and tonight’s looking similar

I figure the answer is no, but I’m wondering if I can turn my heater on to add some warmth to my pool (Frisco, TX) and spa as it’s beginning to ice over and one of my low flowing bubbler lines stopped flowing as though the pipes froze up but not yet burst. I tried thawing the valve with low...

My freeze protection kicked on last night when it hit about 34 degrees (like it's set to) and ran all night. The thing is, it turned on ALL my equipment. Main pump to circulate (which makes sense) which circulates my pool and has spa overflow so that should be enough. But it also forces my...

Clean filter pressure is 10, and it's at 10. With the spa running it goes to 20, and stays there. It was at 10psi after initial install and hasn't moved up any so I believe the elements are clean. I placed the blue and the red restrictor into the Polaris port (pool builder didn't give them to...

And some idea of what the Midnight Blue mini pepple StoneScapes looks like most of the time, good sunlight and clear water. Also theres a picture of it in overcast (raining ) in daytime. It's a nice color and I'm glad we went darker. When it was 105 for over 10 days the water DID get between...

Sorry for the lengthy delay here guys. I got my entire build log yanked from the forums because, honestly, I got a little too emotionally invested in my unhappiness with the build process. A moderator was nice enough to put it back up for me after we messaged a little bit but I've been busy...

So, I used my Polaris 280 for the first time today and it filled up the bag with about a baseball sized ball of sand, pebbles and random debris. Ive got a couple questions though. 1. It goes pretty quick. To the point it will get up on its side or one wheel and roll around a good bit...

OH man that spillover and glass tile is beautiful. And lights, and a spa step - man the details make all the difference. Whos' your pool builder?

Thanks - I hadn't seen that. I'll have to do a google search. The spa light is well sized, but my wife complains that half the pool is basically dark because of the size of the lights and she's right. There are a couple colors in the selection that will light most of it but its pretty uneven...

Yeah - my pool builder gave me a 10 pack sample tube of some 3 in 1 test strips that everyone, from the pool techs, the service manager, and the project superintendent all said were not reliable at all. So when I realized that, I went for the TF-100 and the magnetic stir thing (actually is way...

I've managed to get my levels where they all should be slowly and steadily, and I'll check them again in the a.m. The boys LOVE having a splash pad so close - and I do love the way it came out all in all. I wrote - well, electronically wrote - the first loan payment check today. I figured by...

Regarding the wires hanging out of the sprinkler controller box... the supervisor showed up mid afternoon and texted me that it was just a common and needed a wire nut and asked for the final payment check and extra $200 for pouring the section of driveway they crushed with their trackhoe during...

I waited 10 days without reminding him I existed for him to respond to my email with all my concerns and his answer to the paragraph long question was literally, copy and paste:- " These are the lights we use on 95% of the pools we are doing these days. I am sorry for any confusion." I've got...

If it passes inspection tomorrow, technically, it would be build day 47. Guy down the street is right on par with this time line with his builder, because his foreman came by to talk to my job foreman when he came through today. I don't know that the pool wasn't done correctly. I'm sure...

Re: New Frisco, TX Pool Build Updated 7/26 Gunite Complete Looking good man! I'm stoked to see how it comes out and how quickly!
