I just picked up this cheap option to give it a try this season. Happy so far for a fraction of the price. https://vimeo.com/177726149 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was looking at the Colorsplash but found one on Amazon for $60 that has worked great for this season so far. There is no remote but the LED colors are amazing and can be cycled to different light shows or solid colors by flipping the switch. Just screw it in. I also changed the housing...

Therein might be the answer to my question. I do not have a non-softened spigot. I just found this out by testing my water from the hose bib. I just tested it for CH and it showed none so my fill water is treated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dang autocorrect. Sig changes to sug, dug and dog depending on what mood Siri is in. Lol. Sug isn't even a word, but now that I wrote it twice it is in my dictionary. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I got the dog set up.

Is PH at 7.3 ok? Pool math says the goal is 7.5-7.8. I am trying to change my signature in Tapatalk, but can't figure it out. I will try to log onto the main site and put in the specifics. IG 12,000 gallons Pentair Intelliflow 2 Plaster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In pool math the TA goal says 70-90+, but on the ABCs of Pool Chemistry it says 60-120+ Pool School - ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry I am at 60. Which range should I shoot for? 70-90 or 60-120? FC 12 Cc .4 PH 7.3 TA 60 CH 350 CYA 65 A few of these are a little off. The CYA and CH can be...

I went from a 1 hp 2 speed and just recently installed a Pentair Intelliflow 2. I am playing around with dialing in the right speeds. I have a cartridge filter on a 12,000 gallon pool. I can get no where near the highest possible speed because it turns my pool into a jacuzzi and pushes the...

Have you checked with you power company to see what rebates they have. In my case it made sense to go with a 3 hp pump because I got $700 back in rebates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Neo I had the same issue. The windings in my high speed went out. It ended up messing ups one of the internals of the pump. My low speed would still work without shutting it off. I ended up replacing the whole pump (which I was planning on doing anyway) with a variable speed because I have...

Well the pump has been in and the temp has been stabilized at about 5 degrees less than where it was with the old pump. I am thinking that it was because my old pump was running so hot the it was heating the water just a little tidbit. I thought that was interesting. My pump was running so hot...

Another tidbit I noticed. I have been running at 90* pool temp. Now that my hot pump is out it is about 4-5 degrees cooler. I don't know if my pump was running hot but it would sizzle if you spit on it. Was that the pump heat or the stratification ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beautiful. Great feedback. That's what I wanted to hear. Surge protector ? You think at that price they would have one built in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel like my pool will turn green before I finish my drink. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I did a keyword search and figured someone has discussed this but couldn't find on Tapatalk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took some people's advice on here when I asked about continuing coverage for my homeowners warranty and was told it isn't worth the$120/year. So i discontinued coverage and Murphy's law kicked in and pump fried 2 weeks later. Lol I am considering A Pentair Intelliflow 2 and it's not cheap...

Got it. Assuming that is the same FAS/DPD that comes with the TF 100/Taylor K/2006. I really don't have an issue with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been watching those and would really love to give them a shot. I want to try them out first and see how they would really help me in life. With the old OTO test kit I really needed them. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Add in labor, markup, parts - basically paying a contractor to do it. I know I could change out a pump if time and life allows it, but what would the cost of a contractor be to do the work ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will update and add as time and life permit, but more importantly when I feel like I am more of an expert. I can tell you this I have probably used more reagents and chemicals than the average Joe during my learning curve. I still have a few questions to research and don't want to give...

Update on this post: After getting the local pool stores equivalent to the Taylor K-2006 or TF-100 and "borrowing" my kids' eyes I have become accustomed and confident on the usage of this test kit even with my color blindness which is extreme. If any color blind individual is hesitant shoot...

I recently bought a house with an existing pool. Part of the deal was for them to pay for the first year warranty. There was one company that had pool coverage (at least here in Texas) so I went with them. It covers equipment and electrical, not plaster and pipes. I really haven't checked...

This is actually the test that levels the playing field between those of you that can see color and those of us who can't. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great stuff. I will check into it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As I stated the Lowes ones split easily. They are ****. If I downsized it to a hose and run it off of the pump what would the back pressure do to the pump? There will be no burying in the near future. I have enough projects for the little time I have. I will look into the fire hoses. Sent...

I spent a lot of time pondering them. There were some Clorox that had the % but most of them just had mixture ratios for use and no %. Hmmmmm. Weird. If any reasonably priced bottle had 8.25 on it I would have bought it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Went to another store and all of...

Is that the Great Value brand or Wal mart brand? Both are WM branding neither had % on bottle. Where are you getting your numbers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
