Ran my #'s on Monday night: FC - 4 CC - 0 pH - 7.6 TA - 70 CH - 50 CYA - 50 Didn't bother with salt yet as too cold to run, I still have the SWG place holder pipe installed. I take my cell out during the winter. I added bleach to bring up FC to 8. Question: Water looks good, #'s look...

Opened today. Pics taken right after cover was taken off. A couple weeks of cool.weather should give me plenty of time dial things in. Hopefully no snow in the forecast!!! . 🥶

I'm also located in Canada - 2hrs west of Ottawa. Reagents when stored properly last a while and I've been able to use my TF-Pro Salt kit for 3 seasons. Just purchased a refill kit during the 20% off sale last month. It's a bit pricey but so is a pool. I've yet to battle any water chemistry...

This happened to me and I found replacement "split nuts' that fit my Hayward T-Cell at my local pool store. Took 2 minutes to install and the cost for the part was $6. I bought a few extras to throw in my toolbox if the other one goes.

This is something I'm definitely going to add to my "Pool Toolbox'. Thanks for the info. 👍

I noticed while tinkering around my equipment pad that the fins on my heat pump were quite dirty. Reading up on the manual and it mentioned cleaning with a soft brush and water, but I was worried about bending the fins so I opted to use a garden hose on low pressure. Looks like new and...

I am also located in Ontario and after several times of staining and then sanding after the stain failed and peeled, I decided to use Cutek Extreme. It is a penetrating oil and just fades, rather than peels so it is easy to reapply without the sanding or stripping. It is pricey, but worth the...

Beautiful morning in Ontario, Canada. Robot (Bubbles) getting 'er dun in the shallow end (3.5 ft deep) Going to be a hot 32C (90F) today 🥵. What's that on the stairs? Trouble Free Clear! Happy Wednesday everyone ! :cheers:

Yeah you're right, these are a bit pricey. The tech is simple but I think we're paying the "pool" tax on these 😡. I added them when I built my pool and didn't want to go down the rabbit hole of replacing lights every few years so I kinda bit the bullet and hoping to get some long term use out...

Thread 'Solar pool light' Solar pool light https://ledecsun.com/en/ Solar option maybe worth a read. Can also search the forums for Ledec Sun.

Any improvement on the lights lasting longer?

The key is to have them exposed to direct sunlight,. Having them in the shade will reduce the amount of light they will produce, and try not to have them too deep in the water. I have my lights installed approx 3" below surface.

Would you consider a heat pump?

They are easily removable. Just a firm pull to take them off as the magnets are strong. Keep the original packaging as the light stores safely in it and it also comes with a metal button you place on the back of the light to deactivate when not in use.
