I have a Hayward HD100 natural gas heater. Purchased last summer. Makes a strange noise after ingniting. The video is not mine, but is the exact same noise. Any thoughts? It seems to be getting louder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weQesHObmaU Thanks.

Actually just got one yesterday. We really like it! Easy to set up and very comfortable. It fits two adults and two fairly large kids pretty well. Looks nice as well. I have no clue about the safety on your deck.

Thanks!

Thanks. Is this a pretty easy thing to do? Is there a possibility I could totally screw up my pool? Although I open and close my pool myself, I would rate myself somewhat below average in the "handy-man" category.

I'm assuming "overlap" is exactly what it sound like, the liner overlaps the pool and the rails hold it in place, if so, yes, it overlaps.

It is above ground. (FYI, I have NO idea where I got "UG" from!). Fixed my sig.

I've noticed over the last couple years that my vinyl liner has a big airpocket right above the water line. It started small but is now 2/3 around the pool. Under the water level, the liner there are creases in the liner or the liner is bunched up. Is this normal? I mentioned it to the...

I converted from Baquacil last (best thing I ever did). My question is about free chlorine. PH=7.5 TA=150 Cya=80 CH 110 The number after the date is an early evening check, the next number is the amt of increase in chlorine I expect based on the amt of bleach added and then the post bleach...

Okay, so now I'm confused. 3 pm today tested the FC and CC again. I have a chlorine tab dispenser and thought I should start it. The results came back FC=2 and CC=1.5. We were in the pool for a bit between this morning's CC and and the 3 pm reading. I understand the FC will drop a little...

OCLT : Last evening FC=14, 6 AM this morning FC=13, CC=<0.5 12:30 pm. FC=4.5 and CC=zero! Water looks great. I have to leave town for a few days so will change the sand when I get back. Will stop posting now. The advice here has been great! :party:

Things continue to go good. Water is looking great. Most recent at 5 pm today. (shocked last night, didn't do a OCLT because I was out of reagent). FC=2 CC=0.4 pH=7.2 TA=170 CH=160 CA=negative. I'll do an OCLT tonight. I guess if I pass that, the CC stays <0.5 and the water is still...

OCLT: Last evening after shocking FC=16 CC=1.0 5:30 AM. FC=14.5 CC=1.5 (did not shock) 12 Noon. TC=5 CC=1.0 Getting there! Will continue to shock after sun away from pool. Water looking great. Will get sand and CYA ready.

11:30 AM. FC=4.5 CC=2.0 Water still looks great. Shocked to 15. Will take kids to movies to keep em' cool.

Sorry about starting a new thread. (At first I though I posted it wrong). Thanks for the advice. :-D

Re: Question about pH and TA The most important question... can I let the kids swim in the pool?

Question about pH and TA Hi, I am in the process of converting from SoftSwim/baqua. I have a post going there but I am confused with my chemistry tests and thought there might be more traffic here. Quick story. I'm in day 3 of conversion from baqua to chlorine. Went great (started off...

This morning (Day 3 of conversion) - Pool is clear and beautiful! 6:30 AM FC=10 CC=2 10AM FC=7.5 CC=1 pH=7.0 TA=160. Treatment table suggests I add 2 lb of sodium carbonate to raise pH. I can add the sodium bicarbonate. My question is can I let the kids swim? It is SO hot.

Finally got pics to upload. Don't know what my problem was. A couple other observations.... - The pressure in my filter never really moved. When I back-washed there was Crud in the view glass but not much more than typical. - I'm sure the fact my "B" was quite low helped. But your advice...

I think I may have a record-timing conversion (though still ongoing). This site was invaluable. I thought I’d share my experience with you. I took pictures but can't seem to upload them. The file size is correct. I'll give it another try after I get this posted. History: I decided last...

Here is my progress so far.... After each FC measurement I used the calculator to get back up to FC 15. Sorry, still don't have pics but it is a pretty bluish green. 2:15 pm FC 4.8 3:15 pm FC 5.0 4:15 pm FC 6.0 5:45 pm FC 10.5 I'll check again in an hour or two. I'm...

Can I start my converstion with TA of 170 (Conversion Update ... not sure why I didn't wait till the END of the swim season.

Re: Can I start my converstion with TA of 170 - updated and (Sorry, took pics on my phone but having trouble... will work on it). 9 AM - Start. Added 290 oz of 6% bleach. Turned bluish green. 10 AM. FC 1.6 ppm. Added 280 oz bleach 10:40 AM FC 1.8 Added 280 oz bleach 11:45 FC 1.8...

Thanks for the info. I'll start the process and definitely lower the pH today!

I'm ready to roll (day off, etc), got the bleach, read the conversion, etc. Did my chemical test this morning with the K-2006. FC - neg TC - neg pH - 7.8 TA - 170 ppm CH - neg CA - neg "B" - < 9 (reading from pool store couple days ago). My question is, can I start with the pH somewhat high...
