    Whod a thunk it, Home Depot. I now am in possession of 5 lbs of pool time 100% CYAcid, 2 gallons of step 2 chlorinating liquid and 2 gallons of crappy 14.5% muriatic acid. According to the fat rude lady working there "we dont have anything stronger,no way, the only stuff we carry is the...

    Drain, acid wash and refill now what?

    Whats the best/fastest way to lower PH? I can run the waterfall, spa overflow and slide tonight if that would do it. Its late enough the only places I can pick up chemicals would be Walmart or HD but I dont think they have CYA. Ill stop into NPS in the morning to get CYA and study up on the...

    differences with intellipro VS3050 and VF

    Good deal, so as long as im willing to put some thinking time into setting up the speeds on the VS and use an intellitouch there isnt really a need to spend the extra pesos on the VF. $890 shipped sound about like the best price on the VS? It sure looks an awfull lot like my existing...

    differences with intellipro VS3050 and VF

    What are the actual differences? From the research ive been able to do 1: VF has its own built in timer that turns on a certain speed at certain times and the VS uses a regular external pump timer for on/off operation 2:VF automatically senses which speed of 8 preprogramed speeds is needed...
