    Outdoor Speaker Recommendations

    They are easy to remove for winter storage. With included hardware they tilt. If you add a $3 part from home depot or lowes...they will also swivel. The part is made by Bell...In electrical section...and is used for flood lights...I did not use them as I did not need them to swivel...just...

    Outdoor Speaker Recommendations

    Actually now that I am home and had a chance to look.......I decided against the Monoprice speakers because they have an odd proprietary connection on the back of them. So I stuck with the Yamaha's which are the highest rated at a reasonable price.

    Outdoor Speaker Recommendations

    I have monoprice ceiling speakers inside my house and really like them alot. I think the outdoor ones were on backorder..or came in black only so I opted for the yamahas. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

    Outdoor Speaker Recommendations

    I personally would stay away from the Duals.....reviews on amazon complain of rust within months. I just purchased the yamahas from amazon....$70 for the pair. Mounting options stink for ceiling mount...but wall mount is good. Reviews are good and free shipping. No comment on sound quality...

    Fresh Fill - Now What

    Jacuzzi 375 gallon with ClearRay. I did not sanitize all last year...just the ClearRay bulb per Jacuzzi. I think this was wrong...luckily never had a problem with itch etc... Just emptied, and filled with tap water....now realize I could have used pool water. Next time... 96 degrees (still...

    Pool Light Identification

    I want to add that when the pool light is turned on....bubbles appear every few seconds. Based on quick reading, this seems like a bad thing. I think I will leave this job for a professional. Replace the low voltage transformer and get a new light fixture...

    Pool Light Identification

    Any ideas on what type of light this is? It looks like I need to purchase some replacement parts...the glass lens is intact, and light works, but there is a plastic piece that trims it out that is all cracked. This is an IG fiberglass pool circa 1995. I found a 100 watt transformer in an...

    Draining Off Excess Water

    How do I drain off excess water? Due to rain....water is to the top edge of the skimmer and needs to be dropped an inch or two. There is a valve at the bottom of my cartrige filter, I assume I open it with the pump on? When I opened with pump off, nothing happened. Before I tried it with...

    Calcium Hardness & Fading Endpoint

    I retested with a few drops of R-0012 at the beginning and slowed down overall. My 3rd test was 275. I have decided to order the SpeedStir...I think it will really help on the CH test. Also bumped up my FC to 7.0, was aiming for 5 but overshot a little. I think my pool may be less than the...

    Calcium Hardness & Fading Endpoint

    I am still learning how to use the TF-100 kit. I am running in to a problem with the Calcium Hardness test. My results are all over the place...and I think I have endpoint fading as my sample turns purple for a few drops before it turns blue. Suggestions? Can I do a 10ml test adding R-0012...

    Thanks Jason! I will test again in a few days to continue to get a feel for the process. Will do away with the pool service in the next 30 days or so. Looking forward to the TFP method!

    Gallons Calculation & First TF-100 Results

    Recently purchased house (October 2013). It was a foreclosure and pool was dark green. Pool is fiberglass and installed in 1995. I hired someone to bring back water. In the process, we found 3 metal bar stools, a 25" tube TV with the tube shattered and various other items in the bottom of...
