Sheepishly raises hand as sez' "Me too".

Nothing yet but come 5:00pm after the slog home it'll be pool time. Soak, noodle float and barley pops. Temperature-mometer forecast to be reading 111 then!!! Pool forecast 83. Makes me sad when I see all these closing/winterizing threads.

Pool noodles? Sorry for the interruption. Carry on.

I remember reading something about this awhile back and if memory serves correctly the accuracy rating for this test was 10% + 1 drop. So on a result of 3600, 360 + 200 = 560 variance. No, it does not seem accurate but the "experts" say it is. Bottom line, if your SWG is happy so should you be.

The calendar sez' that swim season is near but NORCAL weather refuses to cooperate. Cleaned the cartridge filter (ick) and thought about firing up the heater. Maybe tomorrow... FWI paint straining net is the skimmer is the bomb.

snipped Is it possible the switch on the actuator was accidentally moved?

snipped... I can't speak for the entirety of the state but with the exception of the Santa Barbara region I think state officials have called an end to drought status. Most of the water districts in NORCAL have ended there drought restrictions, in particular penalties for over usage. A few...

THIS!!! As for the noodle thing; very creative, ingenious and thrifty; worth a try if you can deal with the accompanying banjo music. [snic]

Re: New Pool Start - Fontana, CA - Rebar Completed 9/3ye Unions though maybe, just maybe, might be conveniet in the future, introduce another mechanical connection subject to failure. Besides who's to say the unions you buy at cheapo depo in 6 years will mate to any you install now? Going...

The only time the SWG will run is when the system is in "pool mode". You can run anything you want at any time but remember: "High speed trumps low speed". So if you set your pool to run 8 hours in pool mode at 2000 rpm and somewhere in the middle run the waterfall at 3000rpm for a couple of...

IMHO: Regardless of the logistics of the project: High School students and an indoor temporary pond will not end well. Just saying...

I started using the HDX paint strainers a little over a year ago. in cartridge filter time; that,s two cleanings. The things last forever. I'd probably still have the first one still installed if I hadn't been lazy and not wanted to rinse and reinstall but opted rather toss and replace with...

How's about a rubber plumbing bladder? The ones used to clear a clogged line? Just thinking out loud.

I think Griswald may have nailed it. Somehow you have switched your display to g/l (grams per liter). Conversion for 2.6 g/l is 2600ppm. Here is the instructions from the manual for making the change back. The Salt Display shows the current salt concentration of the pool water. Readings are...

Mine have gone off sync a couple of times and because I liked it as a change I just left it alone and the two caught up with each other in acouple of days. Beyond "rebooting" as mentioned above I would try using the manual method of switching i.e.: on/off the requesit number of times to achieve...

I've never been in retail and would probably get my butt kicked daily if I was; I wonder if any item when purchased in unusually large quantities triggers something. The one time I helped a friend start a SLAM I was not met with a strange look from the cashier but rather a one word question...

Oops, my bad. I saw the words "beer, flowing" and like a moth to a porch light, stumbled in. Very nice house, pool and backyard. Welcome.

Re: You know your addicted to TFP when... Cold open of toy eyeball floating in the pool. BEST GRABBER EVER!

Yes, now that I have solar and can adjust the temp to forecast weather conditions I run it a bit warmer on the cooler/windy afternoons and early evenings of <80 and less on the really hot days of 95+. Generally pool temp stays between 83 and 88.

"She's a beaut Clark!" FWIW: Tha Zatarain label gives you bonus points.

what ONE WORD best describes the water in your pool? Where this comes from is that I was working the morning coffee as the pump kicked in to begin it's daily duties I was very much impressed with the diamond sharp flashes of reflected light from the rising sun in the ripples on the surface. It...

Busy morning! Full brush with the combo. Little bit of vacuuming with the Shark. Bi-monthly full test panel. Chem add. Several "full body" water checks. Webster detail (8 legged Devils have been busy). Lawn mow and blow. This is where it went south..... ....inadvertently blew a ton of crud...

Thought of this thread out of the blue the other day. One of those random misfiring of a synapsis. Best course of action is to invite the IMPA (International Marco Polo Association) to hold this years qualifying rounds and n your backyard. Oh, forgot to mention, this would be for the girls 8 -...

88. Took it of solar in the early afternoon so not to drive it too high. Predicting 100+ ambient temps tomorrow. Hmmmm... What to do? I know set it low and let it climb. CANNONBALL!

Deco-seal. It's just a better and easier product for this application. Squirt it in, a little sand topping and walk away. Sikaflex, and I love this stuff, can get away from you and have you hating life.

Jumping the shark...... My sweetly found this on the bargain table and thought it would be a good giggle for Fathers Day. Had I known it was this dangerous; it would have never come out of the box! HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! GO DUBS!!!! Hmmm....upside down. Pretend we're Down Under.

Thanks for all of the responses. From everything I am hearing (talked with Pentair Customer Service and others) and reading, it sounds like this is a very unconventional way to set-up solar plumbing. This may just be a matter of reprogramming the EZ-Touch, reassigning names/valves; but as...
