    Constantly rising PH

    Thanks Unfortunately I don't think I can turn off the spillover because that's the only way the spa circulates. I don't think I could consistently balance the drain and returns between the pool and spa as separate systems.

    Constantly rising PH

    I know this has been discussed before, but just wanted to see if anyone had ideas, as I think I've tried most strategies suggested. I have an approx 9 month old gunite pool with diamond-brite plaster. There is a flush spa with a continuous spillway (there's really no splash or I think aeration...

    Sufficient pressure through spa jets

    Thanks All. Pump is a 3hp intelliflo - max speed 3450RPM I have a 420 cartridge filter. Normal pressure is about 15psi at 2250 RPM Spa pressure is about 30psi at 3450 RPM There is a single 3" spa return line leaving the equipment pad, I am honestly not sure what's run underground to the...

    Sufficient pressure through spa jets

    I have a recently started-up 8k gal pool/spa - there is a single intelliflo vs pump, dual main drains in both the pool and spa, and two skimmers. The spa has 6 jets for 'spa mode' and 2 returns for pushing water over the spillway in 'pool mode'. There are two air-blowers plumbed into the jets...

    Tile Strip AKA Cove Strip - Plastic between coping and tile

    We just had new concrete cantilever coping poured - much to our dismay, after they broke the forms there is an ugly white plastic strip between the concrete and the tile, reminiscent of every 1980's pool I've seen. I have found very limited info on TFP and internet on ways to replace/recolor...

    Inground builder warranty, what to expect

    Thanks Everyone - it turns out he didn't even know what was in the warranty fine print - I had looked up other peoples permits/contracts and saw that his language, with few changes, is used by other local PB's, I guess they all rip each other off when one goes out and starts a new biz. Anyway he...

    Inground builder warranty, what to expect

    We are close to signing on with a reputable, established builder but just saw his warranty and not impressed. Other than structural shell of pool, his work is only wattantied for a year and labor is included only for 60 days from completion of plaster. I would expect at least a year on...
