Hi Everybody, Haven't been on here in a while because my pool has been ... Trouble Free! haha Well, I am now having a frustrating problem. I have a pool with attached hot tub, all Pentair equipment except 2 Compool CVA-24 automatic valves which control the hot tub operation. I've already had...

I definitely agree with 2 LEDs.... When you are runnin colors instead of white, you will definitely need the extra boost of a second light. Oh and btw, i would negotiate for that second LED as a throw-in... I got both of mine thrown in by talking to the PB and indicating i needed something to...

we finished our build in october and are enjoying our first season with the pool. i had quotes from most of the builders in SA, actually pretty similar specs to yours.... things I learned having a pool built: 1) go look at some of the pools the builder has done in the area..and talk to the...

I think with Live Oaks and your requirement for low maintainance, a cover is mandatory... Unless your pool service comes every day, there are times during the year when it's almost impossible to keep up with those trees....if it's not pollen, it's the pollen 'flowers', it's the leaves, the...

The lowes at 1604 and blanco always seems to have it. I also got some at the HD 281 and Bitters, and i-10 deZavala... Theres also a pool store on 281N near Thousand Oaks... They have 12% (haven't bought there however)

Both lowes and hd have liquid 'shock' in 1 gal containers... $4.76 ... 10%

when setting them up on the EZT, make sure you go into the lights menu >config and enter the lights there (as well as the 'Intellibrites' in the settings menu).... mine weren't syncing until I did that

Just wanted to say thanks to you guys....I went and got 3 boxes of borax from wally world (btw, Mule Team changed the box coloring and lettering so I had a hard time finding it). calculated the amount needed and within a couple hours pH was right back in the 7.6-7.8 range...Since then, I'm back...

I don't have Tahoe Blue but we have a Gemstone color that is close to Blue Granite PebbleSheen...which would be lighter than the Tahoe Blue. We got grey fittings for all of our plumbing and while they are slightly darker than our plaster, they virtually disappear to the eye, especially when the...

duraleigh, good call on the test kit...it's actually a Pentair 78HR... Tested again with the good kit... pH 6.8 but looks like it is getting a trace more towards the 7..... TA is 30 FC 3-4...hard to tell exactly

Jeez....lesson learned..I will measure next time! Not sure on the test kit...PB supplied it...has 5 drop Cl and pH, Alkalinity, and acid demand.... 5 solution bottles I'll test it with my TF-100 when I get home and report back....

Ok I am worried now.... Yesterday in response to the test results above, I added MA and Liquid Chlorine; the calculator told me to add appx 56 oz of MA. I turned off the puck feeder and added the MA and appx 32oz. of the LC (10%)....these are approximates....actually on the MA I may have added...

excellent...Thanks from another Dave S.

Pool is brand new..but just posting these so I can get started on BBB! Bought 6 gal of liquid shock at Lowe's...looks like 10% on label.... Since we just started, still using trichlor in rainbow 320 per PB instructions...but ready to switch whenever FC .5 CC 0 TC .5 pH 8.2 (gemstone plaster...

Going to be nice!

up and running!

Turned the lights on the other night (by pressing each aux button individually) and they were all out of sync; Spa was on American mode (guessing), and pool light 1 was on carribean (guessing), pool light 2 was on solid blue. I tried switching each light on and off to get them to change into the...

I need to work on my evening photography....nevertheless the intellibrites are cool...

morning shot.... startup today...more to come

Really nice!

Thanks! I appreciate the comments :cheers: Got home from a round of golf to find this! I just shut off the water a few minutes ago....almost exactly 12,000 gal Even at night, i can tell the color is quite a bit darker with the full depth of the water. Today we had 30 mph winds all day so I...

pool looks awesome...congrats!

got plastered today. I got real nervous about the color at first, but as the sun came out it started to look more like my sample... Acid wash tomorrow...

I KNOW! I am ready to have a margarita out there...Unfortunately, plaster has been postponed until Monday...PB wanted to give the Sundek more time to cure... At this point another 3 days won't kill me.. But I wanted to let everybody know that I ordered my TF-100 test kit yesterday... I also...

Things have kind of slowed down over the last week...but we had cleanup and Sundek completed and we are ready for plaster tomorrow. BTW, the sundek guys put the curved downspout back on which is incorrect...that gutter will go directly into the drain right below it...

gotta love those neighbors! Mine complained that a) they were starting work too early in the mornings, and b) "why is this taking so long?" LOL Yours is looking good!

looks great! How much more was the Sunstamp? We are scheduled for std Sundek next week, but I really like the texture yours has.

Today, they finished up the wall scuppers and grout. Electrical was completed and the Intellibrites are installed....Couple days of cleanup and I believe we are doing plaster next week.

BTW, will I be able to use the extra slots in the bottom of the Easytouch panel to put in breakers for landscape lighting? It doesn't necessarily have to be controlled by the ET, but I need a sub panel to branch off some circuits for future use. Thanks ** I found the answer to that ^ in the...

decking poured and easytouch installed today
