Hi Matt that info on the RO system is what I learned today, interesting idea about the water softener for the fill water.

Marty we're 60+ miles apart, of course the fill water is the same or higher temp than the pool, that's life in the desert. :-)

at 875 I would be dancing in the pool, I'm at 1375, the rest of the numbers are good, learned some more info today so I will be weighing the options on how to tackle this problem, we will contact the water department on doing a pool refill, ours is 13,500 gallons.

Hello everybody, long time since I've posted, we are dealing with a high CH level and any in put would be helpful, draining 80% of the pool is not an option now, I do have a small RO system that I can incorporate into the system to work on lowering the CH level. any in put would be...

When I first joined this site last year I spent a lot of time in the pool school it is the most informational section and you quickly learn how simple this pool maintenance really is. Steve H

Since you are having the same symptoms it wouldn't hurt to check your pump and make the thing did not seize up. Steve H

Not in my skimmer basket but in the pool, so far this summer I've fished out 3 desert mice and 1 lizard. Steve H

Sure, just get the pool cleaned and here come another dust storm, this time the cover is off, winds gusting to 40 mph and growing. this is life in the desert. Steve H

The cover should be of no concern but you do need to run your chemical tests daily to ensure proper levels, with daily use they will need to be monitored if you're not doing that already.

Rocco, this is the second dust storm in the last 4 months, even with the solar cover on there is still quite the mess to clean up. Hi Kim, I will be vacuuming the pool in 45 minutes when the timer turns the pump on, the dust was so thick that we could only see the immediate area around the house.

So today is my Saturday, having a bloody mary and cleaning the pool after a dust storm that blew there the other day with 60 mph winds, what a mess, organic debris of all kinds and not to mention the dust, looks like pounds of it when brushing the pool:crazy: so this is my day, how is everyone...

Sunset in LHC AZ this evening a beautiful in paradise Steve

yes, she is a believer, wants to get into the pool now but the current will not allow it, upper 40's/lower 50's and wind and rain. thanks Joel, that cannot come soon enuf. Thanks again TFPC Steve

Make sure you are keeping a log of your test results. That will really help you see what is happening to your pool and you wil start to see patterns. Kim:kim: +1 on this, get yourself a small note book and keep track of your test results including the water temp, I have found this to very...

It's so nice to be able to stand outside admiring a once green swamp that is now a beautiful clear blue pool. Thanks TFPC could not have done it without you.:salut: Steve

I prefer the bone in, done this on many occasion, once cooked to perfection the carving is simple, steak it between the bones, nothing better than gnawing on the bone once you're done THEN the dog can have it :D oh by the way I picked up a 16 pounder from Bashas this evening, had the butcher...

Looks great, looking to do a bone in prime aka standing rib roast for the new years dinner:chef:

Here in NW AZ it's not been very nice for the last week, lows in the upper 30's/low 40's with Highs in the low to mid 50's and very windy gusts running from 15 to 40 MPH. Started raining last evening and looks to be raining all day today with highs in the mid 50's :grrrr:

Got great news today a business that is behind the house had our cat for the last 4 days, they kept him inside because of the cold windy weather we have been having, the daughter of one of the workers saw my flyer and called her and gave her the number, she called and I went over there to...

Got the parts installed and fired up the heater, the heater brought the spa up to temp set on controller so I am glad to see that it is now working properly. On the missing cat news I received a call from a woman 3 blocks to the west of me she said that she may have seen him the other night...

The parts arrived this evening, nothing done on the heater or pool high winds for the last couple of days and 50's for highs here in the desert. and to add to my weekend our cat disappeared he was last seen Thursday evening before I got home from work so I spent my time trying to find him and...
