Thanks! I'm looking into that right meow :)

Hi TFP Gang! :) Working with a 5yr old Polaris 280 and the axle block snapped. A few questions for those who are inclined to assist (and an advanced thank you as well;)) Is it possible to just buy just the axle block? The Polaris is black but the blocks all look off white, I haven't taken the...

thank you Ping. This cleared the general fault/high salt reading.

Hi. I'm back. :D Still having an issue with the backswimmers and the little black beetles they eat(?). I think there are a few boatmen too. Mostly backswimmers. Any help or advice is very much appreciated. Quick review: A few weeks ago I tested FC below 2. Water clear. Noticed bugs. Increased...

@flippy - how do you like your outdoor speakers? @bulldogz400 - thanks :) it was not an easy one but we really like it too

thanks. wasn't enough to foam up. just made the water look a bit off color wise. it's still clear though. from what i am interpreting, the chlorine will break down the Back Up fairly quickly, then the water will be return to normal. then i'll add the borates and not have any bugs in the future.

ugh. bugs are back. started off with a few, now a lot. i broke down and bought the bioguard back-up. i was hesitant to try soap and figured the bugs must be eating something so maybe the algaecide will take care of the food source at the same time. well...happy to report it killed them in about...

thanks. it's stamped concrete that we sealed with this stuff a product called tiger tung. not sure about the rules for posting product links so you'll have to google ;)

ended up with the FC around 7 for 2 days but it did the trick. reviewing the TFP recommended balance for SWG. Thanks again ya'll :cool:

thanks! florida keys eh? ex-south floridian here :)

thanks again chem geek and pwrstrk - i really appreciate the support and value your opinions. i decided to raise the cya to 60 and have a target fc of 5 - which is where i had it last year with no bug issues - as i said, the fc dropped below 2 for a few days when i got cocky about having a...

thanks! we really like it. especially the color at dusk. glad we put in two lights as well. had a bunch of issues but the company really handled it well. wife and me designed the entire thing (layout, length of benches, etc). spent a lot of time on here lurking ;)

I don't have facebook either - it's the wifey's. Sorry - it used to be a public album, she must have changed it. Thanks for letting me know :) Hopefully this works although I'm not sure they are in order anymore. cheers http://postimg.org/gallery/ar7adfo6/

right on. i'll do it in steps, catch the bugs with our fish net if they bug me and hope for the best. thanks again :)

I updated my sig. as suggested. I brushed the pool again too although I do brush it down twice a week as well as check chems 2x a week. At this point should i continue to raise the chlorine level (it's at 5.5 right now) until the bugs are dead or should I just return to normal swg %, add some...

Hey all. Sorry if I forgot to post this link. Thanks for everyone's help and pictures, it really helped us make decisions and prepare for the madness. This project was completed about 2 years ago using Premier Pools in Rancho Cordova, CA and Rhodes Landscaping (for the concrete work)...

Thank you for your response chem geek :) I apologize for missing that part of the formula - had a bit too many by the pool yesterday ;) You're right :) - The cya is 50. I tested twice just to make sure. I set the SWG higher, ran the pump all night and guess we'll see what happens. I could...

just started noticing the backswimmers today. water temps have been close to 90. 16.5K gallon salt pool. levels seem in range and water is crystal clear. FC - 3.0-3.5 PH - 7.5 ALK - 100 i'm hesitant to do anything to upset the balance. i don't see any algae but it's a dark/pebbletec so who...

thanks Jason :-D I've been messing around with the variable speed ePump for energy savings. I'm not sure if it is the default setting from Jandy or PB service tech but the default for solar is 2450rpm. Since we only have a one story and a small pool (16.5K gal) I thought I could drop the RPMs...

Greetings! Just finished up our backyard a few months ago. Thanks to solar and some great weather here in northern CA, we've been enjoying it since mid april. The water looks and feels great. I have a decent test kit (not strips) and all numbers are within the recommended ranges. I've also had...
