    Variable Speed Pump Controller Socket Broke

    Hi All. I was cleaning my filter today and I hit the controller plug on my VSP pretty hard knocking the plug out of the socket. The pump is no longer communicating with the control unit and I found one of the prongs to the socket on the ground. I think I will ultimately have to either replace...

    Bleach vs SWG which is better?

    Interesting thought. Out of curiosity I might get it checked. Where do you think the salt would come from? My old SWG pool was about 25K gallons and would take about 2800 PPM salt. That would mean that this pool, that has never had salt added to it, would have about 1200 PPM salt...

    Bleach vs SWG which is better?

    I have a builder who would void our warranty if we went with SWG (we have a lot of rock and he says it will pit the rock over time). I installed a Stenner in the summer and love it. It is as close to an SWG as you can get without having one. In my last pool we did have an SWG and we loved it...

    Hi Kim. The slide gets action every time we swim. The kids love it. Everything has held up. Putting a Stenner pump in this weekend so it gives me lots of fun projects. [emoji16]

    Stenner Pump Install

    Thank you everyone for the great advice. I just ordered the pump and have a couple of days to figure out what I want to do. I am leaning toward the drain plug on the Nature 2.

    Stenner Pump Install

    So my PB installed a Nature 2 system and of course it has not ever worked as planned. I now use chlorine only but would like to automate the system. I am going to purchase a Stenner pump but I am nervous about drilling into the pool line to put the tap in. So I have two questions: Should I...

    No painting. That is water that splashes out when you go down the slide. They still have to change the stucco color. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think what happened was they sealed it the first time and did not cover it then dirt got on it. Then they ended up sealing again and sealed in some dirt. They will strip and reseal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We did some swimming this weekend. Slide was a blast but rough. They will have to fix that. Hopefully we are a week or so from being done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pebble is in! Acid wash tomorrow and then we start filling. As for the wall we are going to paint it to match the stairs and there will be plants in front of it. I think putting on stone facing would be too much stone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New booster pump making coffee grinder noise

    Even without the cleaner that sounds like it could be bearings. Try running it with the cleaner but if you hear the sound again shut it off and call the installer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Here is that the stucco looks like. We are going to have them paint it to match the steps. It looks too out of place with the current color. Needless to say Mrs. Bing is not happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We picked the Aqua Blue and will put the shimmering shells in it. No I don't think they slowed the slide down. Luckily it's got high walls to keep us in it. The side of the slide is stuccoed with grey for now but will be matched to the house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
