Re: main drain has dirt and debri sitting in the bottom-no suction? Yes chlorine at high levels is absolutely toxic. I do not get in the pool or allow my kids to swim if chlorine is over 5ppm. I would finish the slam and let chlorine levels come down before swimming. Mod Note: This statement...

Re: main drain has dirt and debri sitting in the bottom-no suction? This is a little difficult to follow since so many people have been weighing in. Are you local in AZ? I had a variable speed pump specialist come and test my setup. He does it for the Srp rebates. Or it's 50 bucks. He set up...

But the buckets of pucks have very very high profit margin.... Hence the pool store mentality that your pool will be a swamp without pucks. Somewhat in their defense, many pool owners don't have the motivation or the time to care for their pool properly. They also don't have the money to pay...

Get a Taylor K2006. Great kit, everything you need. Nice upright storage box. Testing booklet and index wheel are awesome.

Other than a 25 minute hold time, Pentair Customer service was top notch! Called Monday, new cell shipped tues, arrived Thursday! Don't even have to send back core. Now I have a unit to install in the winter! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pentair sending new cell Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unit is 6 months old, blinking green to check cell. Cleaned cell and re installed. No buildup at all present on blades. Reinstalled, still blinking green??????? Any thoughts???? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Poor Rehab Bid Opinions Stick with the cartridge filter, sand is bottom of the line and least quality filtration. Get the automation! You won't regret it. However, Does seem high, I would get multiple bids. Is pump a variable speed pump? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had my VS pump calibrated by a specialist. Found out that my plumber did an excellent job, pump is performing exactly how Pentair states it should. He made some recommendations on rpm and run time settings but overall said my setup is dialed in. Told me that many new builds he visits have...

Relaxed, the kids swam a little in the late afternoon. Oh, the dogs got in too!! Here's to hair in the water! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is simply no reason to build a pool without a VS pump! If you think you have enough lighting, add another! When I got quotes from major builders they all only included one light, they all said 1 is enough. When I switched to owner build, my friend who help me as a consultant (he used to...

Yup we were in the pool as well. Water was only 77. Still chilly but you get used to it. I have plenty of insulation as well!!! Lol

Cleaned my filter cartridges. This is about 60 days of dirt and crud. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just not sure on your setup. The solar company advised me that it can happen during recharge and they would void my warranty. Could have been something to do with the way my setup was plumbed. I really can remember, I remember the warning though. Wish I could be more help. Hope de didn't get in...

Do you have a DE filter?? My previous pool had solar and DE and I was cautioned greatly to make sure solar flow off when adding De or the panels will become clogged with de. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Leslie's will tell you anything to sell you their chlorine tabs. I went in there for S&G's to see how accurate their tests are compared to my Taylor k-2006. Just really wanted to see how much I have been ripped off in the past. The guy tried telling me that even with my SWG I should be using...

Finally figured it out!!! Still planning to add screen logic as soon as possible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In AZ, the major builders are starting to be very much against salt. 3 major builders did all they could to talk me out of it. They are pushing ozone hard! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My pool was completed at the end of Nov. I got quotes from several major builders in AZ. They all discouraged me from going salt and tried to sell me their ozone toy. I finally decided to go the owner build route. If I'm going to spend that kind of money, I want what I want. I didn't need any...

Re: Spring Texas, Selecting a pool builder, design, and equipment---help please! I would not do anything less than a VS pump. A VS Pump is an absolute MUST!!!!!! Your rock waterfall and weeping wall may be able to run off a waterfall pump which would save cost and energy. I went with a...

Just make sure the lighting is positioned correctly so that a glare is not cast to the house or decking area. I have 4 pentair globrites in my pool. I am happy, however if i could modify, i would add a 5th in the center of the pool.

just ran through one cycle: dropped pH to 7.0 using 31.45% acid from Home Depot. Used my sheen decents to aerate to bring pH back to 7.8 and TA is now down to 80!!!!! Excellent! This website is a total godsend! My Taylor K-2006 is amazing. If you read my posts during my build, my previous home...

That is Zoey. She will be 12 this year. She is my ole lady as we call her. She partially tore her acl 2 years ago, since she was 10, we elected not to do surgery and see if it would re stabilize enough for her to get around. We lucked out and it did. She just cannot jump. So she has a little bit...

Ok dropped the pH to 7.0 and now I am aerating to bring back up. Thank for the help al. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So my pool is crystal clear. Here are my numbers: FC-3.6 CC-0 pH- 8.0 (just added about 10oz. Acid) TA-100 CH-190 CYA- 40 Sat index-0.4 Other than adding the acid, I don't think there is anything to mess with. I did increase SWG to 60% to generate more Cl. Any thoughts?

Are those Hayward or Pentair skimmers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Kim Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will likely use the expensive version right now while I am having pollen issues. Then switch to the cheap versions. Thank you for your help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I keep seeing people reference using cheap nets from Amazon. Can someone recommend a good choice? I looking for fine filtration, something to stop pollen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
