So we had another spring storm here in North Texas this past Monday night and I woke up Tuesday morning to a beautiful tan colored pool :) What's the best way to get this baby back under control? I have never had this much silt / dirt in my pool. I just cleaned the cartridge filter, brushed down...

I have a Hayward VSP (SP3200VSP) that has been running great since we built 5 yrs ago. Just this summer I have noticed that when priming the pump after cleaning the filter, the strainer pot doesn't fill all the way up to the clear lid...but it used to. Right now the water is even with the top...

So we have been fiberglass pool owners for just over 5 yrs now and have done manual vacuuming since day one. I never really minded vacuuming as it was a little quiet time for me but recently the number of leaves in the bottom was getting out of hand. I started doing some research on here (thanks...

Just received my Warrior SE from Marina Pool and I love it! First question...during my first use it stopped on the bottom, blinking light stopped, after about two hours. The control panel was still glowing like it was ON but the bot wouldn’t move. I thought the cycle was to be 3-hours long. I...

How to stop this? Vac head has so much suction that the head is tough to move across the floor at times. Hose will kink at the skimmer or if the hose gets curled...due to high suction. I have drilled about a 3/8" hole in skimmer plate but still too much suction. Fiberglass pool with VSP...

My pool is 11,000 gallons and the builder installed the T-3, but with the Texas summers I thinking it might be too small and working too hard, thus it will die quicker. When it does, it is possible to swap the T-3 for a bigger T-9, or would I have to replace the entire system to get a bigger...

How do I reduce the amount of suction when I manually vacuum my pool? It is so strong at times that I fear I will be another pole or I have to turn the head to break the seal to move it. My pool is fiberglass with only one skimmer. I put the skimmer plate on, fill the hose via the closest...

I finally got my Taylor TF-100 Kit (and I added the Salt Kit) yesterday and did my first test. I also had Leslie's do it before hand so I would have something to compare/contrast against. This is for a brand new (6 month old) fiberglass in-ground pool. Here are the results and keep in mind this...

I know there have been issues with the site lately but I made a post earlier today (it disappeared) so I posted a new one (which is now gone and the original is back). I also updated my signature earlier today, now it's back to the old one. UGH

Just noticed today that my Aqua Rite (T-Cell 3) is showing NO FLOW unless my Hayward SP3200VSP is set at 70% speed or greater which to me seems like it defeats the purpose of having a VSP. I have had to go into the settings on the pump and change the Min Speed% to 70% and MAX at 100% just to get...

I am looking for recommendations on Dallas area contractors that do the spray deck coatings. Anyone have any suggestions? Bryan

Just had our fiberglass pool installed and the crew wasn't very thorough or I was just slammed with new info, but I am confused on how my Hayward SP3200 VSP works with the Intermatic manual timer they also installed. I see that feed from the timer goes into the body of the pump. 1. Does the...

We finally pulled the trigger and decided to put a pool in! After a couple of years of research and hemming & hawing we decided on fiberglass and chose Aquamarine Pools of Texas. We chose the Liberty Lincoln (made by Viking) which gives us a nice sized pool with a functional shallow and deep...

We are here in McKinney TX (north of Dallas) and just pulled the trigger on a fiberglass pool which will be installed in January...very excited! One design thing we are struggling with is the coping. We are not fans of the bull nose concrete coping that is common with fiberglass pools, so we...

Brand new to the forum and wanted to see if anyone has experience with DFW area Fiberglass installers. So far we have met with Pools of Paradise in Lewisville (Viking Dealer)and speaking Bouldercrete in Rowlett (San Juan Dealer) today. I read great things about both brands of shells, but most...
