Gator glue, used by my installers, nothing special. It's a very strong glue, and it's color matches travertine. Had to glue couple loose coping stones just before 4th of July. See second picture how everything looks underneath.

Nope, it's Walnut travertine.

Yes, just aesthetics and my personal preference! At full sun, light stone looks very pale. Darker color will add some spark. As you can see on my video, coping row has more darker stones, which I like a lot.

Almost every year I get couple questions about my travertine deck, problems with travertine coping and decking in freeze/thaw cycles, etc. It's a show off time, let me walk you through my deck, 7 winters after construction. Watch This Video! Overall, we are really happy with travertine...

I've tried using my electrical power washer (yeah, it doesn't have crazy PSIs) to clean my cartridges and I LOVE results. I was impressed how much gunk I was able to wash out from between filter pleats. I have Aquacomb Amazon.com : Mi-Way Aquacomb Pool Filter Cartridge Spray Cleaner Tool ...

what kind of switch do you have?

what brand of polymeric sand did you use?

1500 PPM is way too low! Salt it!

Thanks for your reply. Measuring load on the AC supply side makes sense. However, it was easier to get a replacement cell and put it in. Now magic chlorine bubbles are coming back from return jets! Is there anyway to diagnose and repair malfunctioning IC-40?

I've used glue from Alliance Gator Hardscape Products - Quality is our strength to bond stone to concrete. Great product! I see that you have fiberglass pool, not sure how your coping is done, so can't really recommend anything besides what I've used personally.

Cell has been removed and inspected. Cell blades were clean and they did not have any visible scaling. As a precaution measure, I did acid clean just to rule out any deposit issue. I would respectively disagree that FC needs to be at target CYA level to run an OCLT when troubleshooting SWG.

Pentair recommends: Mix one (1) quart of muriatic acid with one (1) gallon of tap water in a plastic bucket. If rigorous foaming action does not begin, the blades do not need to be cleaned (STOP THE CLEANING PROCESS - go on to step “e). Otherwise, allow the blades to remain immersed in the...

2 years old. No bubbles. I did OCLT , see #3, 0.8 ppm loss.

Turn as arrows are pointing to unscrew. Buying larger wrench to unscrew 4''+ fitting is expensive. I use some cheap Rubber Strap Wrench, any big-box store has it, even Wallmart. Search "Rubber Strap Wrench" on Amazon and you'll find it. I've actually cleaned my IC-40 this morning (first time...

Within last couple weeks I've notices that I can't crank FC levels (~2) to the values I had last years (4-5) . Longer and longer (up to 24hrs) SWG runs did not help either. So here we go to troubleshot SWG output. I think steps I took might be useful for other forum members. 1. Make sure...

Let me chime in here, since I'm dealing with some IC-40 issues as well. 1. IC40 seems to be adequate for your 38K gal pool. From the IC40 manual: IC40 Cell (P/N 520555): Designed for pools up to 40,000 U.S. gallons (150,000 liters). The cell will produce the equivalent of 1.40 lbs. of pure...

You need returns to move/mix pool water in one direction. What is the shape of your free form pool, does it have deep end, what are the prevailing winds, skimmer locations? All this stuff matters to know if three returns are enough.

Replace JFI breaker then. It might be defective, and it's much easier to replace it than light fixture.

are they still bright?

Rocky's all the way! suzook, what part are you getting from eBay?

What brand did you try?

It get's interesting, I've seen another thread posted couple weeks ago with yellow concrete stains under winter cover. I do not have concrete deck, but when I I took my winter cover off, I've noticed that my white skimmer covers (plastic, the same like your pictured above) got almost yellow...

Can't comment on a price since I was getting my liner as a part of new pool build.

Does $2,000 include installation? water refill?

Re: New build in South Jersey - Pictures included karynkjd, how do you connect your pool and under-deck patio? Concrete sidewalk/ramp?

Hey neighbor! Did you get Latham Ultra-Seam?
