Hope everybody had a great summer. poolmiser autofill took a hit sometime midsummer. crack in the cylinder in the top 1/4. it is NOT mounted in the pool deck and prob a lawn mower wheel. Luckily they make an extension and i was able to use a dremel and make a 360 cut from the inside and glue...

5 yo IG 16 x 32 rect. I'm an old TFP guy and this liner has me baffled. It's a GLI black Onyx. And it looked great..... for 6 months. In a previous post, i ranted about liner fade. Water chem has not been an issue. TFP kit, fresh reagents every year. etc. CL on low side of normal (3-4 ppm) most...

Hello all, We are on our third pool. Third 280. Works great for keeping pool clean. First one was the best. Zero problems. Chlorine pool with rainbow feeder. We moved and again used a 280. this time salt pool. Polaris wheels rubbed pattern off liner within a year, esp at the break. also, it...

I have a hayward E command 4. the pcb went bad and the PB replaced under warranty a year ago. The previous board was GLX-PCB-HPC-4. Hayward sent us a GLX-PCB-PRO. It installed and everything works great. I went with EC-4 because i decided to go back to trichlor. (previous pool had prologic 8...

Hi guys, It's been awhile. Hope all is well during these crazy times. I found a micro hole in our liner above the water line. actually about the size of a pencil lead. it seems thru and thru and i need advice. Liner is starting 3rd year and i guess the fix is a small patch. I still have all the...

New build. Wanted a Hayward 2 speed tristar. Plan on running 20 hrs a day on low. Then high to push some water around and run Polaris. So i got the Tristar SP32152EE. 1.5 on high. I thought the specs had good numbers on low speed, maybe a bit much on high, but it will be ok. mmmmmmmm. might...

PB starting deck pour tomorrow. First up is poured cantilever coping with color added. Prob about a foot wide. (VL inground). Shooting for a med gray coping, then a regular broom finish deck, with joints cut into squares for an accent. Anyone have any experience with Interstar concrete color...

Hey Guys, Pool #3 being built. Wifey wants a darker liner this time, and i was thinking about a Polaris 280 black max. Had 280s on both previous pools and i like em. Wondering if the black will fade as most other things do........... PB said: "there's a reason most boats are...

Hi everybody !!! Just signed the contract on new pool. This will be #3. We downsized couple years ago and gonna go low tech this time. Have a great PB and gonna build it old school for me. Last pool was HUGE and full auto this, salt that, ps-8, inside controls, etc. We are in our 50's, kids...

Wifey and I downsized this summer and moved to a smaller house/less land/ no pool. It was a great move and we love it……..but miss the pool. Last pool was over the top. freeform, aqua logic ps-8 automation, north star pump, salt, heat pump, pavers, pavilion, outdoor kitchen, fireplace and way...

Hello old friends. i need your advice. Time to replace inground liner. There is really nothing wrong with existing liner, but the fade at the water line is driving me nuts. Tile pattern looks bad. it is a Pacific pool, salt, ps-8 automated system, etc. My builder has noted that the industry...

I have a 3 yo hayward heat pump model HP21002. It has been flawless and well built. In fact, it is our second one of this type, as we had a pool at our old house that used this heater when it was built by EUS. It seems the fan motor is going bad. the fan is dragging on start up or not spinning...

Hello everyone! It's been a while. Hope all is well. Looks like TFP is still going strong. Winter is soon to be over and we need some new chaise loungers. Want some Aluminum slings for the deck. Boy have they gone up!!! Our last set lasted 6+ years and we got em @ sam's club for $99 each...

I know cya takes forever to dissolve. The pool water is cold and i need to add some cya. Can i just add a bit at a time in the skimmer (basket out) and let it dissolve in the sand filter. It seems i might have dissolved something in a sock once in the skimmer? Help the old guy out......Why did i...

Saw this in the back of a pool mag. Anybody know what it is. http://www.algaeshield.com/ the last thing is ordered out of the back of a magazine was those x-ray glasses. Man, was i bummed out.

Heck, the sun is out, our winter traveling is done, let's open this thing. Too nice not to look at. This is our 2nd pool, 22k ig vl. The pool was finished late spring, had a great summer, and the pb closed it as part of the deal. Called him up last week to come and open. He said peel back the...

pool had just been filled and it was perfect............... wife and landscaper designed a "walking path" from the back of the pool deck to wander thru the back landscape area. the slope toward the pool had not been addressed. the drain boxes had not yet been installed in our landscape. add no...

we have ig 8' white steps that keep fine silt dirt on them. the polaris 280 does not do steps i guess. i had the same problem with the last pool we had (same kind of steps, same cleaner) we have a return jet on each side of the steps. Has anyone had any success positioning these jets in a...

we are starting the aqualogic ps-8 tomorrow. i got a couple of simple questions. Is the 3200-3600 number that most people use is a salt ppm # ? to increase this number, add more salt? is the swg output setting the % of time the cell is "making" chlorine? raise this setting to increase...

first, thanks for all the info on this topic from the gang @PF. Finally started fill today. As we discussed, the TA of the well fill H2O is 500. :( Is it ok to start the aerating by shooting the fill up into the air and then into the pool now? the water is not high enough to bring the pumps...

I have used the cajun injector about 4-5 times with pretty good success. Basically, your just injecting the meat with one of several different flavor marinades. Kinda like a IM shot for us medical types. I used this on a turkey (killer) and chicken breasts. I think it's best to buy "skin-on"...
