What’s the update Technigogo? Did you drain? Power wash? How’d it go? I’m in Austin too and considering the same. My pool is much younger, only 4 years old but I’m a little high on CYA anyway so was thinking about a fresh fill and considered a quick power wash too.

Yeah. Stenner pump is what I was thinking of. Thanks TSplash and Casey! I seriously considered going with a SWG when I built but I have all natural stone on the pool deck as well as the coping. I'm in Austin and the local stone here is fairly soft, so I was worried about the lueder stone...

It looks like the check valve is bad. Grabbed another at Leslie's and am guessing I can continue using my evil CYA laced pucks soon. LOL On the BBB topic, what's that little bleach feeder pump called again? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those little ones keep us unbelievably busy! I look back at my single life and even married life before kids and wonder how I thought I was 'so busy' all the time? LOL....thanks for the link. I was looking for the manual earlier this morning and should have thought to google for it. It can only...

I appreciate the reply. I know TFP is an anti puck forum, and I've tried the BBB method in the past. I didn't find it as easy to manage because I simply don't have time and or forget to check it every single day. I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old so I can't reliably add bleach on a daily...

Hey all, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post, but was curious if anyone had any thoughts on my Rainbow 320 chlorinator issue. It's adding chlorine even though the valve is completely off. Is this a common issue with valves? Should I just replace that or could something more...

Re: And Away We Go! New build Austin TX UPDATED 10/31 FINISH Thank you! We went through so many design considerations - started off thinking about concrete, then flagstone, then Belgard pavers....eventually we stumbled on the idea of travertine pavers and really glad we did. Unbelievable how...

Re: And Away We Go! New build Austin TX UPDATED 10/31 FINISH Thank you! Yeah, I was concerned whether we'd have the space as well. It's 8' 8" from the wall of the house to the column, which is the effective 'countertop/grilltop' space. The 'frame' is built from 4" CMU block, so you need to...

And Away We Go! New build Austin, TX UPDATED PIC 10/31 FINIS We started on August 12th and started filling it October 25th! A little longer than I expected, but we are thrilled with the results! Right now we are in startup so I'm using chlorine pucks but once I get my feet wet (pun intended)...

shmatbert - I also live in the Austin area. What I've learned about Hydrazzo is that it is very similar to standard plaster from a 'wear and tear' perspective. Basically, it breaks down like this as best as I've been able to ascertain: -Plaster is marble dust+portland cement (with color...

Re: And Away We Go! - New build Austin, TX - Updated Pics 9/ Hey DreamKiller - thanks for asking! Yes, actually there has been. I've been intending to post some updated pics. Here they are: By the way, we decided to keep the spillway where it is. I don't think there is a wrong answer honestly...
