I knew it was coming. Diluted the water 50 percent pool water 50 tap water up to the 7 then used the CYA regent to fill to 14. It was about 75 so doubled would be a CYA of 150. :(

I'm breaking down.. Had the pool last few years. Never had any issues. This year opened up with some yellow spots on a few walls. Shocked upon opening, brushed the walls then started my normal routine. Shock with liquid chlorine and threw a puck in each skimmer (left over chlorine from last...

My sis in law just got Plaster on Saturday am. Water truck put a load of water in an hour later and filled rest with hose thru the night. PB came over Sunday around lunch, fired up filter, added acid and chlorine and told her to brush twice a day. He then told her son he could swim in it that...

So basically when the pump,shuts down the heat pump detects no flow and shuts down until pump starts again? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am having my new heat pump *Aquacomfort ACT-1250 wired in tomorrow. Electrician is coming, Pool company already plumbed it in and pool is opening next week. Does my Heat Pump need to be wired into the timer part on the panel so the filter and heat pump are on at same time? Or does the Heat...

You know I never thought about that. I worked with a different pool company last year for my water chemistry. I went with this company to get a new cover installed. They came highly recommended and the closing was included. I think what I'll tell them is go ahead and open, fire up the filter...

My pool company is opening my pool on Friday. Its only my second season so will be doing it my self eventually but don't have the time to mess with it right now. They sent me this regarding chemicals.. "When we open the pool we like to have 97% shock, 60% algaecide, stain & scale and...

I have the aw5500's and they are incredible. My neighbors often txt me telling me they like the song. Being funny but they will jam out. I have them hooked to a denon receiver with AirPlay and app controlled. We can sit anywhere by the pool and adjust volume and change channel. Air drop songs...

Whats everyone's thoughts on Merlin Covers? Got a quote from a local installer much better.. Under 3K..

Gunite, no waterfalls etc. Just got a second price 5100.00 :(

Just got a quote from a local dealer, 4800.00 for cover installed with closing. Loop Loc, could it be that much? Chuck

Hey Guys.. Pool company finally replaced my leaking BWVL-MPV multiport, was leaking out the backwash hose, from installation. Now its leaking out the little drain plug on the front. I tried to tighten it and it broke. So went to the pool store and got another, seems to be a 1/4 in drain...

Thanks!

If I use the WASTE option on my filter to lower the water level do I need to add DE or does this bypass the filter? We've been getting some rainstorms around here and pool seems a little high. The last time I backwashed but then had to add DE. Its not that expensive but trying to find a way...

Re: Adding a Salt Water Generator to my system (IS IT WORTH IT ?) It was an 80 dollar bucket or cartridge.

Just put a new pool in so really have no figures to base on but keep,hearing about the salt system and how cheap it is. I just bought a small bucket of chlorine when other day for 50 bucks. I was like dang. It doesn't look like rocket science to install. I have a jandy filter with a...

Just had a Gunite pool finished up a few weeks ago. Plaster was done 2 weeks tomorrow and water was put in that very day. Been brushing twice a day religiously. Last week put in some muriatic acid to drop the PH. My question is when to introduce chlorine? Also with the plaster being 2...

Do I just shut off the filter to look at that?

They just fired up my new gunite pool on Thursday and noticed some minor leaks at the filter. There appears to be a leak at the backwash hose even when the unit is operating in normal filter mode.. Should water even be heading in that direction? I'm thinking not... Below is the unit I have...

Got a quote today from a local company installing loop lock. Quoted for 20x40. It's a kidney type shape. Estimate was like 3600 installed. Sound high but what do I know. Is that about the going rate. I'm in Maryland.

I found that document. But like you said nothing about the landing. There's plenty of deck there so as long as I have 4 ft on the stairs side I should be good.

Our pool is up a hill. We just got our patio around the pool done and will be getting stairs poured on Monday from our house level to the pool. When I was getting fence quotes one guy mentioned to make sure there was a landing at the area where the stairs meet the pool at the gate area. Anyone...

I decided to raise my building up in the back. That way there will be about 18 in of dirt remaining on the pipe. Also failed to mention here that there will also be a building laying on this area of the pipe too. I'm hoping that also provides some ground insulation as well.

It was buried properly. When I level out the area I won't expose it just take soil off the top of it, not leaving as much below the ground. It was originally 24 in deep. Think 18" is the frost line.

I assume this answer was for me? ��

Always start your own thread when you have a question, rather than hijack (or necropost). Staring your own thread removes the confusion and gives your question the attention it deserves. :smile: Butterfly I am putting pool in and right next to the pool a pool house, shed. Well in order to...
