Just wanted to post a quick update, I started looking and learning about pool maintenance from this website about 2 years ago. We had a our pool built last year around November. I have been the only one to touch it after the 3 weeks of initial start up. I have used the Tf-100 and get my...

I posted over on the pump side that we lost the main pump after a storm, we had a power outage for 2 days, and either all of the drains got clogged with debris, or debris went through or something, regardless, last night it gave up the ghost, it would run, but not pump anything. I am sure...

Have not had any major issues with the Hayward Omnilogic, however last week we had a really large storm and lost power for 2 days. Pool was a disaster, but noticed that the filter pump would shut off. I back washed it, cleaned out the entire pool with a garden hose venturi vacuum, recheck all...

Since I have a SWG and don't need any chlorine......:p, jk, I like to get some of the administrators BP up with comments like that. Lets start again, I have a SWG cell rated at 40k, my pool is 55k, and was built in the winter. I have used the TFP from the get go (glad I did, as soon as the...

I have my salt cell running around 75%, but I am noticing that my chlorine levels are slightly lower than I need for my CYA. I did turn my filter run time down some over the winter, my pool has been clear and had no real chlorine demand. So, would it be better to increase run time or...

I am on the edge of insanity. I know there is an easy solution, but I have not found it yet. We have the Omnilogic control system. I want to use the spa in any weather. It never gets that cold here, but occasionally dips in the 20s, but at night around 30-38 is not unusual in the winter...

So I took over the pool about a week ago, it has been up and running for about 3 to 4 weeks and with all of the holidays, I wanted to start taking over because I knew that service will be diminishing. So intial Test: FC:1.5 CC:0 CH:175 TA:90 CYA:30 PH:7.8 Salt:2600 So, I went to Leslies...

We have gotten rain all day, and are supposed to get a total of 7-9 inches over the next three days. Should I check and treat during the rain or should I just wait till it is done and then go from there.

Finishing up on our pool, they sprayed the pebbletec yesterday, I noticed we didn't have any step sights/markers. I asked the pb and he says that they usually do not put them on pebble finishes. I personally think that is not accurate. I have seen several that have had it plus he previously...

:confused: They added the top rock today, the rock originally looked like the United States, liked it allot on the ground, however after they added it to the top to act as a safety rail, it began to look like an upside Florida. Out there just now and with a few well placed pieces of dirt, bite...

I have come across that the pool heater should not be turned on for around the first 3-4 weeks in a "plaster" pool. Does that include pebble finish. I know that they use plaster to hold it in, or it some sort of mix. Pool should be finished in about 4 weeks and we have a person who will come...

Just started construction on our pool on Monday, rained for the last two days, shouldn't complain about rain in late July so I am not. I know there is a period of time when the they first finish a pool that the builder will maintain it for a specific time (with mine I think a month) after...

Just starting house construction a few days ago, started the pool building process. I have had two meetings with the PB, and we are still working out the details, but wanted to go ahead and post some pics and get yall's expert opinion to make sure that I am not missing anything obvious. GOALS...

Looking at having a spa with our pool, talking to one of my friends he states his pool heater, pentair made therm 400, would automatically shut down when water temp is below forty. He thought it had to do with condensation. Is this only for that specific heater , I only like the hot tub when...

Talked to the pool designer yesterday, looking at having a grotto with a slide. I do not care for the look of most plastic slides, I really like the gunite slide. The designer all but refuse to design one in. He states that they take more out and replace due to the fact that they tend to me...

I have been trying to find a relative answer on the average time it takes to get the pool "swim" ready after it is filled. We are looking at getting a gunite pool and I know that they have to do some type of special post water fill process to help cure the plaster (not for sure if all gunite...

Starting a new house next week hopefully, and looking at pool designs, I like an free form L shaped pool with one of the side of the L beign the deep in and the other arm of the L being a 3.5 ft or so activity end. Looking at the ANSI guidelines (which I am not for sure are mandatory for...
