    Pool alarm

    I have an older security system by fortress security that is no longer in use. I’m looking online for 433mhz pir outdoor sensors. It would work, but I need to find a few sensors and pair them. I should be able to arm/disarm the system when needed. And it throws a super loud alarm.

    Pool alarm

    I agree…unfortunately with my wife working from home, things happened too fast. She took a work call after letting the dogs out and got sidetracked. No excuse, nothing to say, it sucks. I can’t undo it, I can only learn and try to ensure nothing happens again. Believe me, having to come home...

    Pool alarm

    We recently repoured concrete to fix a place and one fence post was down. We had it setup to ensure kids could not get in during this time, but the pup was able to find her way in. I have a few smart devices to include flood detectors in the basement, etc. My buddy has the nest cam that sends...

    Pool alarm

    Hi all, I’m sad I even have to post this. Our puppy got into the pool fence and fell in and drowned this week. My wife went into the frozen water to try and save her, but it was too late. I really need to find a solution to let me sleep at night and ensure this never happens again…to my dog or...

    Hayward Pro Sand filter freeboard space

    I had to empty out the top layer of sand the past few years due to excessive dog hair. I think it’s at a point where it may be effecting my filters efficiency. Does anyone have a chart of spacing for a Hayward Pro sand filter? I’ve found a good chart on the Pentair filters, but not for Hayward.

    FC is around 35....yikes.

    HELP! Confused

    FC was around 4 before adding liquid chlorine. I didnt add/remove any water. Let it be since all my levels seem good...just cloudy water. I dumped 8 gallons(10%) in to get a FC level above 28. Letting the pump run and going to do a FC test again.

    Should I removed my bubble covers prior to "nuking" the pool? Afraid to damage them with that high of chlorine?

    I had a super green pool due to not shocking it or anything over the winter months. It gets pretty disgusting. I thought though if you have free chlorine, then you should be gtg?

    Free chlorine is at 5 still???? What would adding more chlorine do if I have available chlorine?

    HELP! Confused

    TA was 70, rechecked PH after adding the acid last night, its at 7.4. Water is still cloudy and the Taylor kit says there is combined chlorine. Guessing because it was so nasty from the start of the season and all the dead algae. Might add flocculant.

    underground or overground - well both actually !

    i purchased a circupool brand swg. Had a better warranty than most and warranty is covered if you install it. To my limited knowledge, most people say dont trust the readings on the SWG control panel for current salt content. Mine has a digital readout on the water temperature, the amperage...

    Appreciate all the help. Purchased some aquacheck test strips for the time being and the board is reading 700ppm higher than the testing kit indicates. Test strips are reading 4020 ppm. The taylor salt system is in the mail, but with the virus going on, who knows how long that will take. My...

    HELP! Confused

    I hope that is not the case with being 2000 ppm before adding, but I have been using the TFP method of chlorine for years now. Only reason I switched is not having the availability of buying chlorine in bulk containers of 20 gallons at a time. I'll order the sw test kit you linked and attempt to...
