Hi All, I have a pebbletec pool, with what I believe is a flagstone border at the top edge. It appears as if the flagstone is chipping off and decaying -- I even found a quarter size chip of it in my pool vacuum. I'm going to assume this has to do something with CH as my pH is usually...

How are the 2 speeds controlled and what are they used for.

The original crack that I spoke about above is getting worse, now I have a small solid stream of water shooting out! Going to have to do something sooner or later now. Questions: 1 - Do I need a 2HP Pump, what can I read to help determine if I should get Variable Speed vs single speed. I'm...

The 1% tax applies if you live OR work in Kansas City proper. I always commuted from the MO side to employment in the KS side and the cross state income tax thing is a bit of a pain, but you do get some relief.

I would agree with the recommendation of Liberty or Park Hill School district then. Both great areas and much closer to the airport. The airport is way north of downtown KC.

I used to live I'm Kansas City for 30 years before moving to Florida. There are many nice parts, many have been mentioned above. Do you know yet where you will be working potentially? What type of activities do you and your family enjoy?

Daily, you will want to do the OTO Test. (The one with Cl and Ph) There are of course exceptions to this, ie. When SLAMing.

Valid question, and one I don't 100% no the answer to. I assume 120 because I didn't see anything that looked like a transformer. Where would a transformer typically be placed?

Recently the local (and some national) news has been reporting in injuries and deaths from malfunctioning pool lights. While I believe properly installed pool lights are likely safer than driving to the store to get bread, I thought I would ask the experts. What type of regular checks should be...

Indeed I did, and I dumped it out into my hands to fetch my speedster magnet. I will stop doing that!

See below picture, not sure how this happened but I only have one theory. Theory is that I was doing weekly testing (all tests in TF100) and spilled something on my hand. I didn't notice until we were actually swimming though, so maybe something in the pool water reacted to it? Soap doesn't...

My PH seems to creep up to 7.8 and then remains fairly steady -- just wondering if I can leave it here provided I keep close watch. Also, my CH is slowly trending downwards - It has gone from 275 to 225 in a month -- I suspect this is because my fill water is after whole house water softener...

Its pretty snug, takes some effort it get it back on. I'll try replacing it and see what happens

Upon pump start up, my cartridge filter leaks for about 10 seconds then completely stops. I've used a health amount of magic lube on the O ring, and that seems to help a little. Not sure if this is normal or not (I suspect that it is not.) Is it time just for a new O ring?

Ordered mine yesterday. Can't wait to get it!
