    Is yardandpool.com legit?

    I am shopping for some Jack's Magic products, and yardandpool.com has them at significantly lower price than anywhere else. So much so, that that my scam detector is going off in my head. Has anyone used them before?

    Hot weather, High Ph, and High TA

    I'm open to any suggestions, but I'm having difficulty keeping my Ph and TA down. I'm in Texas, and it's been hot.. 111F today. I think we have had 2 days under 105 in the last 2 weeks. With that much heat, I'm losing more water to evaporation, so I need to fill more frequently. I am in the...

    Pentair High Power Wireless Link Kit issue.

    I have the Intellicenter with the High Power Wireless link kit. Everything was working as it should. I could control my pool both locally and remotely. I was doing some electrical work, and turned the power off at the breaker to my equipment room (Router, Modem, Link Kit, etc.) When I turned...

    New Pool, need advice.

    This is my second pool, but I haven't had one in about 5 years. The first one was 14,000 gallons, and we kept great with the methods here, but I didn't start doing it until 6 months in. Our new pool is about 33,000 gallons and is just about done filling. It is a SWG with plaster/pebble...

    Confusing Pool Leak

    I have been meaning to put up a build thread... we have had a very interesting one, and I'll get that up soon. This is our second build we have done. It's a bigger project than the first one, and we used the same builder. Now to my question. The pool was completed eight days ago, and filling...

    Another testament to BBB

    The pool is about 6 months old, and I have been maintaining it during the winter. My numbers are all in range except for my TA and FC. My TA is a tad high at 90, but I am working on lowering it. As soon as I get it down, I get to use the borax I have been stockpiling for the last few months...

    My Oasis (so far)

    We finished our pool late in the season last year. We got about 2 weeks of swimming in. I am really looking forward to spending some time out there this year! The only thing left I have to do is wire in two rock speakers, which will sit behind the pool, on either side of our main waterfall...

    CSI and cold water?

    Is keeping the TA around 120 and pH at 7.8 an acceptable way of keeping the CSI up during the winter? We have a pebble pool and a SWG. At the recommended levels, with a water temperature of 48, the CSI would be at -.60 My current results, after a ton of rain the last few days: pH 7.8 TA...

    Freeze Protecton and IC40?

    We are expecting some cold weather this week, so I suspect my pump will be running most of the time. I have a Pentair Easytouch & IC40. Do I need to adjust my Cl %, or is the system smart enough to not run the IC40 during freeze protection? Thanks

    Question about my first shock?

    I decided to shock my pool for the first time. This morning, my FC was .5, and my CC was 3. I have a SWG, and my CYA is at 80, so I planned to bring my FC up to 30. I added enough bleach to bring it to about 24, but had to run to the store to get more.. it is only 5 minutes away. Before...

    New Pool in North Dallas

    This is my first post here! First off, I want to thank everyone for all the great information! I have decided to go the BBB way with a SWG for our new pool. We have received several quotes and designs that are very similar. The last one, however, just blew us away. Our first reaction was...
