Had PB come out today and repair under warranty. Charged $75 for a visit fee. Had to replace the circuit board within the pump. He says it most likely had lightening strike close and fry it. It was the 5th one he has replaced since Tuesday for same reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello everyone. We had some severe storms here yesterday and last night in NJ. Lost power a couple of times, and this morning when i was outside checking on damage, I noticed the pool filter was not running. I went to turn it on, to notice that the breaker for the pump in the control unit was...

Last year was my First open season with my pool. I followed this site to maintain my pool from day 2 (day one was the pool installer and had to be them in order for my warranty to be honored). I was very anxious to open my pool this year to get things going and wasn't sure what I was going to...

First time pool owner with safety extremesh cover. My question is with putting on the mesh cover in regards to my waterfall. The cover has been custom made, and came with a thick wire and 2 bumper type of additions to go around the waterfall area. Does anyone have any insight on how to attach...

Yea that wasn't the price I paid. The sears store had it by the foot, not sure what the actual price was, but I'll repost if I'm there again soon.

The Sears Hardware store by me carries this hose. I have even hit it with a weed whacker and still has no leaks. I picked up about 30 feet of it, and it is the best thing I could find next to an actual fire hose, which I also have but haven't needed. The fire house in my area was replacing some...

Unfortunately I have not gone with either of the options yet, although I am me leaning towards the rings for the reasons you actually specified. I currently don't have a place to store the cover, yet the rings can be transported easier to an empty shelf in my garage. I am however collecting some...

None that I had noticed. Only place I could think of scale would possibly be on rocks from waterfall. I hadn't run it in a week or so, and I hadn't looked at it up close prior to starting it up today. I'll retest in the morning and take it from there.

I did do it for the second test that resulted in the 110 reading. Being that it was higher than originally thought I carefully double checked the test by meticulously following the extended testing steps.

I just ran a test this morning of my pool water using tf100 kit. Results Fc - 6.5 Cc < .5 Ta - 90 Ph 7.5 Cya - 90 I wanted to lower my ta to about 70. Per the pool calculator I used 48 ounces of muriatic avid to lower my ph. This wasdone around 11:30 this morning. I just tested my pool...

So I have been reading this site religiously as part of my day. It is now part of my routine, Coffee, online papers, TFP.com check new posts and unread posts. I have learned a wealth of knowledge, and believe me, I now understand why your first response is Read Pool School. In all my reading on...

I have a new pool with a new Dolphin Dynamic 2002 with remote. I have a few questions for some of you that have these usits. First, what way do you have the arms and floats configured for best coverage? my pool is called a Mountain Lake in its shape. It is like a free form, with no true...

Just had my concrete poured Friday. They removed he for a yesterday evening and I got out there this morning to look at the rests. Everything looks good with exception of one area I noticed on the cantilever by the stairs. Can you me if this is something normal and can be expected with concrete...

Thanks for the input Jason. Also another question. With the cover on, will it allow the sun to warm the pool when left on during the day, or will it act as a barrier and not allow for optimal heating?
