We were having a brainstorming session about a local city owned pool. The pool and associated park are in harvest mode for the city yet the community nearest the pool (3000 homes) might have a use for it. We certainly believe we could market it better and turn it into more of an asset that it...

The FC will come down on it's own from sun exposure. For example, in Southern California my pool looses 2 or 3 PPM each day just from sun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm in a hot dry windy area. Sounds great huh? Anyway, I generally lose 1/4" water per day. There might be data on your area for evaporative losses. In my city, because of the citrus industry and the location of a research university here, we have estimates of evaporation available in the...

Not that I know much, but I do know my Cl consumption. It's just under a half gallon a day, 2-3ppm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We get afternoon breezes here...pH will raise readily, about .2 every three days. It moves faster if the kids have friends over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all: I've a jet in my pool that is on it's own pump line; that is I can valve the pump to run only through that jet. It's in the main pool and has an odd thread size. It's neither 1/2 or 3/4 NPT, it's between them. I'm planning to use it for aeration with a little simple piping hooked up...

Automation. Mechanical process development and factory automation. I build process automation systems that connect technology with business needs. Nowadays I'm doing a lot of vision guided robotics replacing mechanical feeder system with flexible feeder systems. The pool is fun for me. I...

Hi There! Back in January I closed on a house with a pool. It's a 27k gallon lazy-L built in 1968. There's a spa on the side of the pool and we have been enjoying that almost nightly. The pool temp is coming over the mid 70s with the addition of a solar cover and it's swimming season here...
