Thanks so much for the reply! I'm in no hurry but after talking with Marina Pool (Margaret) she suggested either go with the A20 or the M400. Point being for the price of the 30i another $100 and could have the M4, from what I understand that would eliminate the worry about the being stuck on...

Anyone have problems with these units getting stuck on tall drains? I have two pentair drains and they are roughly 1.5" high in center and I wonder if the potential to get stuck is fairly high? I don't want to buy an Active and find out I should have paid up and bought the M series. I have an...

To update after only two days my CH has gone from ~400 to ~510. I'm not sure if new plaster alone can raise the CH that far that fast but some opinions are certainly welcome. Using the LSI I'm in balance but I have concerns, the dark spots, (although small) are certainly real and we are now...

Acid wash before filling.

Thanks guys, the past few nights the drift has been much less. The large rise in CH had me wondering what's going on, even my plaster guy is a bit confused by such a large rise. In terms of testing I did read your post Jason about endpoint fading, however adding 5 drops of 12 didn't change much...

My pool finally was plastered ~1 month ago. We began to notice what I feared was scaling. Two dark spots near one of the drains and a white swirl spot on one of the infloor heads. Also short white streaks in the shallow areas. The plaster company decided to hit the pool with a large acid dose...

Brushpup is correct about traffic. A lot of construction right now but if you take 121 from downtown Ft Worth to the north side entrance you should miss much of it as the north side is mostly completed compared to the south entrance. The Stockyards is a good suggestion and if you like Mexican...

DDT was only harmful to the eggs of an eagle, banning it likely has killed millions of people over the years. (you can easily search that subject in detail) Aspartame has been proven safe so many times it's not even worth arguing anymore except fot the charlatans that continue to try and make...

I stand corrected and apologize. I did read "The ABC's" but I failed to see the link at the bottom of the pool school. (actually suspected/hoped there was much more) Anyway I'm going to peruse that and start my learning process. Thanks again and if..oh..a...when I need more help expect I'll...

Thanks duraleigh! I did read the pool school and can see it's a great resource. I am looking for advice for initial start up and that's what everyone has provided. I appreciate all the input and will see how it goes. I wasn't certain if there was some basic starting point such as with tap water...

So I guess it's safe to say that I should be using liquid chlorine and completely forget the auto chlorinator? That is likely not a big deal to do. The plaster company installing the PebbleTec is a friend and they will certainly be part of the start up. I read in that link not to run the...

Well dang it, forgot to post location, I'll correct that in the signature. It's the Abilene Texas area btw. Yes I plan to order kit, and have local supply test water as well. I do have a tab inline chlorinator installed. The only thing I intend to use the Easytouch logic for is to switch from...

Well I decided it would be a good idea to build my own pool. (I don't recommend that) I am now waiting on the pebble to be installed and I'm ready to go. (With the exception of a few things, primarily the logic). I thought I might ask for everyone's input, advice, opinion on what the best...
