    Omnilogic MSP Update 4.8

    I'm new to OmniLogic, wonder how long it normally takes them to drop release notes.

    Fiberglass build | Chesapeake, VA

    Trying for 2+ months to get PBs in this area to respond, we've received two proposals and are leaning towards this one based on PB's reputation, price, and willingness to listen/explain/accommodate (i.e. no grief swapping their default Paramount Ultra UV2 system to SWG). We'd love any...

    Is this a beaded liner?

    Just to verify, is this what a beaded liner looks like, and if so, do I need to worry about the measurements of the "snap" part when ordering a replacement liner? One website I saw said some folks ended up with replacement beaded liners that wouldn't fit into the track, and they recommended...

    Taking the plunge!

    The "gradualness" of the last few days of my conversion drove my crazy, but it was so well worth it!!!!!! Hang in there!

    The Top 10 Reasons to Convert from Baquacil to BBB

    Having just converted a little over a month ago, I can vouch for #2-#10. Never mixed Baq w/ beer, so not sure about #1. hehheh #5 and #6 still continue to amaze me. With Baq, I think the longest stretch I was able to keep the water semi-clear was about two weeks. After that, some green gunk...

    Another Newbie with a Baq Conversion-Help!

    Gesh, I wish I could fit a pool like that in my backyard! Nice! :) You'll be so amazed and how crystal clear the water is when this is all done. Even when I thought I had my Baquacil pool under control and looking sharp, it's nothing like it is now!

    Another Newbie with a Baq Conversion-Help!

    I didn't have that experience. Keeping my pool at shock level overnight by adding liquid bleach (which is chlorine) is exactly what made my baquacil disappear!!! I didn't see anything in the pool store nearly as cheap as liquid beach, either. heheh

    Another Newbie with a Baq Conversion-Help!

    My pool's a lot smaller than yours, but I had a lot of Baquagoo in it too. I had a problem (before I switched) where the algistat level wasn't reading at all on my test strips, so I keep adding more and more of the Baquacil (per the pools stores instructions). That did nothing (other than...

    Conversion Questions

    Howdy! :-D My CYA level is still low and I wanted to make sure I was simply underdosing and not missing something "big picture" wise. Last Wednesday I added my first CYA. I was shooting for 40 to start (didn't want to overshoot), but ended up only adding what fit into a small sock (about...

    I feel like I might be holding a winning lottery ticket or something... :shock: My FC only dropped .5 (if that) last night, and my CC is .5 or less (I swear half of a drop would have turned it clear), and the water has been amazingly clear for the last two days. So I guess the next steps...

    Conversion Questions

    Thanks. Picked up some Borax at lunch and will add it tonight. Can I add Borax at the same time I'm adding Clorox, or do I have to do one first, wait for it to stabilize, and then add the other? Gesh, point me to another thread where the person got it done in 1/2 the time mine's taking...

    Conversion Questions

    Would adding CYA at this point help with the rest of the conversion process, or is that best left to when the FC is at a normal level and I've changed the sand? I guess I'm being overly anxious to get this done so we can all swim again. I'm jealous of the folks with larger pools that pulled...

    Sorry about the delay in getting back here. I have weird work hours, so I was trying to get an earlier AM reading, but 8:00AM is the earliest I have been able to finagle. The pool has gone from ~70% clear a few days ago (I couldn't clearly see the bottom anywhere through the white haze) to...

    Quick ? for Hayward Aquabug Owners...

    The blue attachment on the top of my Aquabug came off (the thing the hose attaches to), and I was wondering if someone could help me figure out which way is the correct way to re-glue it back on? :shock: It fits back into the Aquabug either way. If you could take a look at the photos below...

    Conversion Questions

    The house I bought last year came with a round 18" AG pool, a big round blue sand filter (that requires 200lbs of sand), and a two-speed pump. I started my conversion on the evening of Thursday, July 3rd. I didn't take any pictures because I had just flocked the pool to get rid of a green...
