My pvc pipe to the roof is 1 1/2", I am putting up new solar panels that are 2". Should I use an adapter from 1 1/2 to 2 or reduce all of the 2 to 1 1/2?

Thank you!!!!!!(y)

Thanks, another question. my PVC from the pump to the roof is 1 1/2". The panels are 2". Should I reduce to 2's to 1 1/2 or use a coupler that is 1 1/2" then up to a 2"?

Got a new roof and getting ready to install the solar panels. I hear I need to drain them in the winter but I don't know what product I need to install into the PVC pipe. Also, does anyone know anything about a new ordinance in San Ramon, CA that requires panels be connected to aluminum...

Nothing really, just wanted to try better pictures. Someone is coming by next week so I'll work on where to go from here.

I took some more photos to see if they help.

I am just looking back over this conversation. The first picture is not out of focus. The discoloration you see is what I'm talking about. The dark spots are a reflection of leaves on the surface. The other pics although yes, a bit out of focus you can still clearly see the problem. What...

Hi, The CH didn't vary, I just figured it wrong. The pool temp. is in low 70's as I haven't turned on solar. The plaster is rough. I just looked at pool closely and there is black algae all over! Pool guy won't do anything about it. I'm not sure what to do about it as when I checked the...

Thanks, It's going to take me some time to comprehend all of this. I will work on it and then have a chat with Freddy! The plaster is pretty old BUT, this has happened quickly, getting worse and spreading over a few months.

Who asked for a legal opinion? I just want to have a talk with him about what he should be checking!

Does this mean it's my pool service's fault?

OOPS, the ph is 7.2 I don't understand what you are saying has to do with the plaster.

:rant:Hi, Re-tested. FC=8ppm CC=0 CH 200 CYA I used 1/2 pool and 1/2 bottled water. I thought the black dot disappeared at 50 but saw it a little and added to 40. So, somewhere in there. Now, I paid a lot for this test to find out what is wrong with my plaster AND NOW you're telling me you...

OK guys, I purchased a TF-100. Here are the results. TC: 8 ppm CH: 120 ppm TA: 70 CYA: 100 HELP, why is my plaster looking so bad?

WOW, lucky me! Not only am I getting pool advice BUT as a bonus, being taught how I SHOULD communicate AND how to live my life. Thanks Sunny! I live in San Ramon, CA if anyone is near who can help.

You last two are not answering the question that I asked. FYI I am 70 years old, my husband died recently and I am in treatment for breast cancer. I am just not up to taking care of the pool now.

I have a good test kit for my fish tank. It says the ph is 6. I tested gh and I was to count the number of drops when it turned from orange to green, but it was never orange so it was a very light green with the first drop and a little more green with each drop. So it looks like the gh is very...

That wasn't my signature, I have replaced it. I don't have the exact test results. My pool guy show me that his TEST STRIP showed everything was okay. I asked him to check the calcium and it was 250. I don't have a test kit.

My plaster is a mess. I will include pictures. It has been getting worse and my pool guy refuses to take any responsibility and says it's because the plaster is old. I disagree.

Thanks......I took care of the pool myself for 45 years, including acid washing it MYSELF. I am no 68 and am not up to doing it anymore. I thought I saw here that one shouldn't use an algicide so wanted to know what to tell the pool caretaker. Nevermind.

New to forum. I don't see a lot about black algae but I did see something that was saying not to use black algae killer. I have a pool service. He says he has kept the chlorine levels up but the black algae is spreading. I was going to get a product and he said he would add it and scrub the...
