Good advice and much appreciated. I have been successful holding it closed with my finger for a few mins. Just wondered if there was a pliable rubber stopper or something of the sort that would work temporarily and not damage threads.

Hey! I’m in same predicament tonight— wondering if you found a temporary solution?

Thanks for the reply -- I've started the process... pH 7.0 CYA 40 FC 18 Alk 100 with 2 prob -- algae and staining over 8 years, what sequence do you recommend? SLAM first **OR** drain, acid wash then SLAM? I realize that the algae is a bigger problem than is visualized, but problem...

Hello! Before hiring someone to acid wash, I wanted to get the group's thoughts. I have 2 probs.. 1. For the last couple of years, I have had persistent algae in shallow end on steps, see photo. Tried to shock, scrub, shock, scrub, to no avail. It recedes if FC is in high normal range...

We love our travertine pavers..paid about 11.50/sq ft installed...

Thanks for all the replies. I'll throw in some mosquito dunks...that's it. Seems like a hopeless cause with no end in sight. Appreciate everyone's thoughts.

Totally agree just trying to prevent things getting worse of there is an easy way. gators / pythons / etc...

My neighbor has moved out in anticipation of foreclosure. Their pool has turned green and I"m sure there are some interesting things going on inside. No water flow, electricity is off. Was considering running over there and just dumping some bleach in the water to prevent things from...

Hey, we just redid our pool in aqua blue pebble sheen and are very happy with the color. I'll try to post a couple pics in the next few days...

thanks for your help. I'm going to call USWatersystems tomorrow to see what they say and will post back any info I get from them. ADDENDUM: Okay I talked with Stenner this morning and it seems like the index pin had loosened. Ted from Stenner talked me through the whole thing and it took...

Dave, Thanks for the reply.... I didn't specify which type of tube when ordering, just the standard, but in reading i now see there is a santaprene vs. tygothane. Is one better than the other as far as durability? I think it's a #1 tube, the tube itself has "100psi max" but there is a bit "1"...

Bump

I wanted to see how many folks have replaced their tubing? Looks like mine has worn out. The Stenner is running 10 hrs/day since may 2012. Recently FC dropped and I nipoticed the pump was running but not milking the tube. Took it apart and the tube is pretty hard. Rotors seem okay otherwise...

I have a similar issue about 2-3 months into a new pebble sheen finish but have hesitated on calling them back to look. I've read on TFP that they can come back and repeat the acid wash. I was not sure about how effect that would be and if it was worth the hassle. Curious to see others'...

yeah, they ultimately did accept responsiblity and ended up redoing the skimmers and tile job. Thanks all for your help....

Okay...i won't worry about the clicking. Here are my numbers...seems reasonable since a 3 ppm FC loss for the pool size = ~180oz of 6% bleach. Haven't looked at the excel spreadsheet yet, was just going by feel, adjusting 0.5 / 1 on the pump setting. pH 7.5 FC 5.5 CC 0 Alk 90 Ca 290 CYA 40

Couple of questions for you all...does your Stenner pump make a clicking noise every time it milks the tube in the pump? Also, how often do you fill your barrell and with what? I have been using 6% bleach from Sams $835 for 3 182 oz bottles. With the 30k and sunlight I go thru about 182 oz /...

Hi All, Another happy peristaltic pumper here :-D . I appreciate everyone's assistance during our remodel. In the process, I thought about O2 (PB recommendation) to pucks to Liquidator to Stenner. I splurged and got the pump/container combo and it's been great. I promised to post a picture...

Thanks, Jason! I'll work on TA first. Is it okay to shock after TA is 90 or should I balance the other items first? Really appreciate everyone's help...such a great board

Okay so the remodel is finally done and after treading water with the chemistry, here's what I have. Not sure what to do first since i'm new to BBB. Oh, and we had a dead squirrel in the pool yesterday so I'm thinking of shocking (after reading the thread on such matters). Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the information, Jason. I'll keep a close eye on the numbers and post back as it gets closer to a month after startup.

Yes, the plaster/sheen is new. Based on some info from Pool school, the FC seems low as well as the CH and CYA. I guess the CYA will increase slowly with the pucks, but where should I keep FC since target is 3 on the chart? I was worried that bleach would affect the new plaster (pouring over...

Hi All, Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Just remodeled and now am starting up with BBB method. Here are test results from today with TF-100 kit and clear water. pH 7.5 FC 1ppm TA 70 CH 140 CYA 20 Obviously lots to fix here...just not sure what to attack first. Is it okay...

Thanks, all for the replies. I think I've figured out what happened.... 1. Demo of concrete and subsequent regrading probably increased coping level slightly. 2. Tile was then installed and neither the tile guy nor the project manager checked the location of the tile in relation to the...
