    Another Pool Build in Cypress, TX

    Suz, you know I haven't posted much but just reading your last post brought me so much joy. I know this has been an emotional and physical stress for you, but to read that you were sitting there with your feet in the pool is awesome! I can just picture you sitting there, leaning back on your...

    Sight Glass and Pressure Gauge have stopped working

    Thanks for the info on the gauge. I will look into replacing that once the SLAM is complete. I don't want to risk breaking something and then my filter not be working at all. So is there no concern over the fact that the water in the Sight Glass doesn't move? Could there be air trapped...

    Sight Glass and Pressure Gauge have stopped working

    When it rains it pours. I've just started my SLAM and now I have noticed that the pressure gauge on my Hayward filter isn't working. Also noticed when I backwash that the little sight jar is only half full of water and doesn't seem to move around any. I'm getting a film of algae on the bottom...

    Low CYA, increase that or SLAM?

    Low CYA, increase that or SLAM?

    New Pool Build - Conroe, TX - LOTS of pics! Come say hi Y'all.

    That really seems like a fair price when you figure out how much wire is and the additional parts. I really wish I had an additional outlet at the back of my pool. There may be one in my future if I can finish my other "Honey do" list stuff. :-)

    Another Pool Build in Cypress, TX

    Suz, first let me say how amazing your tiles and coping are looking so far. Everything else is just going to be fancy jewelry and make it all the more beautiful. I really like that skimmer lid but i have to agree with Kim, are they $32 pretty? If you are using stone decking and they will be...
