Thanks, rodneyperrotta. Good to know such things are possible!

Yes, that's what I mean. Concrete 'decking', as it were. I don't actually know what the pool itself is made of. It was here when we move in.

Thanks for the rapid response, duraleigh (wow!). I'll give it a go and report back with any further issues. One more fast question while I'm here: I do have a vinyl liner, as I state in my signature, but I have cement around the pool. Do I need to worry about Calcium at all? Is there EVER a...

Greetings once again TFP! Just opened my pool today. Here are my numbers. I would love feedback on what to do next. FC - 0 CC - 0 pH - <6.8 TA - 40 CH - 50 CYA - 0 (I realize it's probably not truly 0, but when I did the test it never clouded up) I was unsure what to tackle first...

Thanks, as always, Bama. Going to do it this weekend. We'll see how it goes!

Any help would, as always, be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all, So this is a combo thread. This is my first time closing the pool myself AND the first time closing it with the Liquidator. I have what are likely some very simple (possibly stoopid :oops: ) questions that I'd like to square away before I move on with closing. (note: I live in...

Thanks to you both. Is there another way to check for air in the filter besides opening the release valve at the top? I have no evidence of leaks (water, at least) so I got that goin' for me.

Hi all, I installed the LQ a few weeks ago. All seemed to be fine for a while with the flow meter of the LQ set to 3ish (my FC would be about 4) but now when I test my water my chlrorine level is very low. Please see my numbers below: FC: .5 CC: 0 TC: .5 pH: 7.8 TA: 80 CH: 60 CYA: 20 My...

Looks like it. The LQ comes with a 12' hose which proved good for me, even a little long. I'd say the only concern for you if you put it behind the heater is making sure you have enough hose to go all way to the pipe in front of the basket. Also, try and plan where you're going to tie the...

Thanks again for the answers Bama. I'm sure I'll have more! Here you go toadlife! Note the size of the LQ. It's a good size so that'll have to be planned for. I got lucky that I had a space on the slab to put it. [attachment=0:3dry60f0]LQ_installed.png[/attachment:3dry60f0]

Thanks, Highlandreef. Sadly, I ran right out and started the installation before I read your post. So... two holes for me. :-( It's not a bad thing, per se, though I'd admit I'd rather have 1 hole in my piping than 2. Ah well. Anyway, it's in! Installation went fine. Definately took me...

Excellent. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks, Bama. So either of these vertical pipes in the pic? Or does it have to be a horizontal pipe? If not, great. I'll just go with the one before the chlorinator if only because it'll be closer to the LQ. If so, I'd go with the horizontal pipe coming from the multiport that splits off...

I'm intending to install The Liquidator tomorrow, but I have a concern as to exactly where to drill the holes in my piping. If someone could kindly verify where I THINK they should go is, in fact, where they should go that'd be great. Please see the...

Just got The Liquidator today. Haven't installed it yet, so I can't tell you anything about that part, but I can tell you I got it from PST Pool Supplies based out of Escondido, CA. Price was comparable to anywhere else I've found it plus the shipping was free. (I live in VA so I was happy...

@Smykowski -Ah. I see the difference. Thanks! @bama - Thanks for advice. I'll keep it where it is.

Thanks, Bama Rambler, I'll take your suggestion but any thoughts on why the instructions would say "60 to 80ppm"? And you're exactly right, I'm losing slightly less than 2 ppm per day of FC (I have 0 CC, btw) but doesn't that go against the 'passing OCLT' rule #1?

So I'm reading the instructions on The Liquidator prior to its arrival. I see I need to have my CYA between 60 and 80. Currently my CYA is 40 - 45. I know there are specific ways to raise CYA but I happen to have a bunch of 3" tabs (with stabilizer) from before my BBB days and I'd like to use...

OK. Just went ahead and ordered The Liquidator. I've no doubt I'll have questions once I get into it. Thanks for all the help thus far and we shall see how this goes. :-)

I see what you're saying about the fine adjustments, I think I'll try it without the valve, but with the 3/8th upgrade, and see how it goes. It's at least a starting place. Thank you very much for the help.

@Nightmare - good to know. Thanks for the tip. @bibeaud - I don't have a heater, but that's an interesting idea. I've read a lot about people using a Hayward Needle Valve. If I decide to try it without this valve first is it easy (and I mean EASY) to upgrade once the Liquidator is installed or...

Thanks, RobbieH. That seems to be the consensus. Great! JohnT, that's a good idea. Much appreciated.

Thanks, JohnT. Sounds like even I could put this thing in. Good to know.

Hi all, I've been off the site over the winter but with this early spring rolling I figured I'd better get back on the pool train! As before, this is the site to get the best answers for EVERYTHING poolesque. Thanks for posting the opinions I've seen thus far on the Liquidator. I'm considering...

Upon reflection - sorry for being tacky and stealing the thread. I'll post my comments on a new post. :-)
