Ok, force stop, clear data worked. I upgraded for 8 dollars, but I dont see on the app a button to restore my data. I did export my data during the beta testing (although I did not do it right before I updated the app so I might have lost a few days)

Just got the latest update on my Android Galaxy S4. App will not fully open now, starts to open but keeps spinning. I will try and reboot my phone and see if that helps.

I think its time to check things like lights, stairs, skimmers, and give them a good brushing. I don't know much on sand filters but have been backwashing it? I know on my DE filter I need to break it down and clean it at least a couple times a year.

Hey guys I got the beta version for my android about 5 days ago, yesterday I did the update that allows for export backup but now I noticed a bug. I can't log any new entries. I can see the plus sign on the lower right but any time I click it it actually just clicks the log under it. I have...

to Samt, I did remove 90% of the debris in the pool, when I removed the cover I was able to control where the remaining leaves were dumped into the shallow end which made it easy to scoop while the water was still clear enough. If my garden hose was faster or I did not have other plans over...

Year 3 of opening my pool with a light blocking mesh cover, and each year results in cover sinking into pool with leaves on it, and not draining through the cover. I tried this year to drain it and got a lot of water off the cover but eventually I think the water flowing through the mesh was...

I have the Hayward offline Chlorinator and I have a similar gurgling problem. Like you my pump does not loose prime but my return hoses fill up with air so when the pump refires it bubbles at first.

77F last night, Solar Cover is working well. Last year the highest I ever saw was 80F and that was one day after 3 days of mid 90s temp (very rare here in Southeast Mass) temps and sun look good all week If I hit 80F by sunday I will call the cover a worthy purchase.

So where are you guys buying this pipe? I am looking online for a 2' by 20ft length, and every time I proceed to checkout the shipping is close to 200 dollars. I don't know if its the length of 20ft or that they only ship in bulk. I guess I could do two 10ft sections and then connect them...

Thanks for the input, so is the length your talking the pipe length? How about the width of each section? With my Pool being 20ft wide my pipe would have to be 20ft but then I can varry the dimensions that gets rolled

Hey I just got my first solar cover and found this thread as a good alternative to the reals. My pool shape is pretty basic (20x40 rectangle with rounded edges) but I think I will need to rollers to make it more manageable. My thought is to do 20ft rollers and then do the shallow end as 15ft...

gb99 what is your normal pool temp range? I am in southeast Mass with a 20x40 inground pool. The shallow end is in full sun most of the day but the deep end only gets sun between 530 and 630 at night. All last year between July and Aug I was anywhere from 74 to a best of 79 (briefly). I...

First real swim might be tonight if the weather holds. 80F air temp hopefully between 72 and 74 water temp. picture from last night (I also was able to get my PH to 7.6)

I think you and me are twins this year, check out my thread and I think it will give you some hope (took 14 days for SLAM passing all three tests). 2nd year opening a pool still a battle

Have you broken down and cleaned your DE filter inside and out? Last year I SLAMed my pool and it was a success, but after about 3 weeks I have a slight algae bloom and did a re SLAM but it would not clear. I broke down the DE filter and all the material was super green! I had to let the...

My returns were aimed a little low to help stir the bottom during the SLAM, I pointed them back up so that they just break the surface tension of the water. Thats how I had them all last year and it worked well for moving floating debris into the skimmers and maybe helped aerate the pool a...

I finally jumped in the pool on Sunday, temp outside was 71F pool was 69F. I could not get out of the pool fast enough but I needed to do it. Latest test results FC 5 CC less then 0.5 CYA 30 PH 7.2 (currently trying to raise it) CH 120 TA 50 Latest picture, gets better with each picture but...

Do you constantly adjust PH or just make sure its in the range? I will be honest all last year I checked PH maybe once a week but I dont think I ever made adjustments.

I am in a similar boat, on day 14 of my SLAM so I feel your pain. when I look at my pool I feel like I have made zero progress in the last week, but if you take a picture of the pool each day and compare them back to back I bet you can see the slight improvement each day. In the beginning the...

At 9pm last night FC was 8.5 and CC was less then 0.5. So I only lost 3ppm between 5am and 9pm (16hrs) and it was a bright sunny day. I raised back to shock level one last time and I think I am calling it done. all three tests have passed from this morning

I was not able to check the last couple days because I was waiting on a refill, but I will find out today. Weather today is sunny cool and windy so I would think it will be on the higher end of normal.

Ok my last post I was going from memory on the numbers my TA is actually 50 not 70. So yesterday I got my refill so I could continue testing Free Chlorine. Yesterday at about 430pm PH 7.0 FC 3.5 (lower then I would have expected, 48hrs before I was at FC 10, and yesterday I added 128oz of...

Yea I want my CH to be close to the acceptable range for fiberglass pools because of the fiberglass stairs. I can't check the PH because of the SLAM thats why I was thinking of stopping the SLAM so I could actually check it. When I get my tester refill I will double check the CC is less the 0.5

The Mesh cover is that ultra fine mesh and honestly looks solid, but it should allow water to flow through it slowly. I definitally need to a better job closing and opening my pool, I was in a rush last fall with leaves and the leak, and then through out the winter I should have made sure no...

I guess I am still SLAMing because last year after my SLAM I had this. So I assumed I was not done yet

I think I am on Day 12 of the SLAM, I am seeing very little to almost no improvement of the pool over the last 5 to 6 days. Although the filter can now run for 8 plus hours before needing a bump. Last test results FC 10 CC 0.5 CYA just under 30 PH N/A TA 30 CH 40 this is just the other day...

I purchased my house in the winter of 2014, and through the use of this site I was able to re-open a pool that had been closed for 5 years, with 3 or more years with no cover. It was a lot of work and took a month and half but It finally did clear and we enjoyed it all summer. Fast forward to...

My pool is 56F, I just pulled the cover off last week, and I have not even dug out the pump and filter yet. Did I mention the air temp 30F last night, yea it will be another month

I think you might have a problem keeping that pump fed with water with only 1 skimmer. I have a 20X40 inground liner pool, it has no main drain but has two skimmers and two returns. The water drops about 1 inch in the skimmer basket from the pool with the pump running 1.5hp pump with DE filter...

OK I tackled the Stair Gasket this weekend below is some photos. The two vertical trims had good gasket coverage under the liner and it all felt like it was working well. The bottom horizontal trim gasket was very slimy or not even there, so it must have been where the leak was. The other...
