Hello TFP, Looking for advice on the install of a pair of PAL TREO 2T2 LED lights. I have a semi inground Radiant metric free form pool. I had my installer cut into the walls on the same side on each end. They are currently installed in the pool with the wiring looped outside of the pool. When...

Great thank you. Are my readings ok to go swimming? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took a dip for the first time last night. I vacuumed out the pool and water looks crystal clear. I just posted my first reading after the fill. Now I need to read up on how to maintain the pool. I still have a way to go but at least I can go in. By the way I bought the PoolSkim skimmer and...

Also I ran the pump for 24 hours to get to temp and I turned off the pump last night and have it scheduled to run from 8am to 4pm. Is that too long? The water is crystal clear and I vacuumed the pool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello everyone, Now that the pool is in I need to start reading up on how to maintain. Here are the first readings I'm getting after the pool has been filled. I hope I am doing this right: FC 3.5 ppm CC .5 TC 4.0 PH 7.2 CYA - this is where I'm confused. I know when you just fill the pool there...

Hello TFP, Has anyone ever hear or have a pool robot named "Thunderjet 3"? They say it is manufactured by aqua products but the box and unit do not have any identifying marks showing the manufacturer. There isn't much information on line about the robot and looking to TFP for feedback. They...

Looking forward to the install pics DuckHunterJon. Didn't realize you were ready to go. I've been so caught up with my build. Let me know if I can be any help. I am no expert but I can try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol. Just had the inspector here and passed the first inspection. That was painless. Now we can go ahead and backfill. They should be coming tomorrow to fill and plumb all the equipment. Getting real close! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok here are some readings. Hope I did this right. The is just the readings for the full water: Based on what I read on the card in the TF100: PH 7.8 Chlorine 0 CH 250 TA 50 CYA didn't test Reading from strip that came from the pool store (insta-test 6 plus - LaMotte): FCI 0 TCI 0 Alk 40 PH...

Thanks. Play set was moved to the other side of the yard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Done for the day: walls up, concrete collar around the pool and steps, liner is in and a foot of water is going in. The yards a mess but at least the pool is in. Now I need to wait till Monday to call the town inspector for the concrete inspection then we can backfill and hard pipe all the...

I am having them haul away the excavated dirt. There's too much dirt to keep in my yard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2.5 hours we are moving dirt and getting walls and stairs prepped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dumpster is here now I'm just waiting on the installer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. This is a morning shot. The sun covers the area around noon. Also we will be removing a huge branch up above. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will test the water later today. Can I post the results on the same thread? I do have chlorine and stabilizer on hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello TFP, I am 1 day away from getting my 14x22 radiant metric freeform semi-inground pool installed. I am all set for now: permit, installer scheduled, TF100 kit/magnetic stirrer in box and ready to be open and used. Big shout out to MMM923 for all your advice and time. I figured I'd start...

Thank you. Yes the raid at pools can be installed inground and still maintain their warranty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi there TFP, Can anyone tell me is the SP1086b1 skimmer is applicable for inground installations? I have been planning to go semi inground with my radiant 14x22 freeform pool but now thinking of going all they way in the ground. I was provided the sp086b1 skimmer for the semi inground install...

Great build. I am having my radiant 14x22 freeform installed Friday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BigEinAZ thanks for the advice. The wall isn't necessarily a retaining wall but more of a sitting wall. I just got quoted $8000 for the wall alone. If I set each post with 8" sonotubes 24" in the ground down to the depth of my pool and concrete collar I believe that may be sufficient. I'd like...

I am now thinking of going with stamped concrete on the side of my steps and pavers on the opposite side. I have an existing red brick patio and hoping they can somehow blend the old with the new. I was thinking pavers on the opposite end because of the plumbing. And for the walls of like to go...

DuckHunter Jon it's totally fine to continue the thread. We are definitely looking to do a similar project. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of my coping but here is what I have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good point. I don't think I have a high water table. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another thought do I need to put in a French drain? Can I set on top of the concrete collar? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
