    A Cautionary Tale...

    I just finished SLAMing and it didn't resolve until I took the decorative plastic strips off the steps. The strips covered up the screws that held the steps in place. The lesson is that you have to expose everything and scrub, scrub, scrub.

    CircuPool Install, Couldn't be happier

    Thanks for sharing. Do you get the plans for those chairs from Ana White's website? I built four of them this year to take the place of our plastic chaise lounges that were showing their age. Contrary to your situation, my wife wanted them stained, not painted.

    Is this rust/orange looking build up normal after only a week?

    You should be either adding muriatic acid OR Borax to adjust pH. Acid to lower it and Borax to raise it.

    Compupool

    Just had a Compupool unit go bad one month shy of warranty expiration. They would do repairs but it would cost me $75 off the bat plus 66% of what they usually bill. They stated none of the repairs would extend the warranty. Given all the talk on this forum here lately, I decided to stop...

    Compupool cpsc 36

    The reason the bubbles are not being produced is because the LCD and the circuit board are faulty and not sending any current to the cell. No current, no bubbles. The cell is fine.

    Compupool cpsc 36

    I have had mine only for about 8 months. After the fix I've not had any problems. It ran at a low level over the winter. Now that the weather is warming up I am in the middle of adjusting its output to keep the chlorine level appropriate.
