Good to hear. Yes, that was our experience as well. I am grateful the system came with the ProLogic controller. Added a SWG for minimal cost vs a stand-alone unit. A definite benefit of purchasing/installing equipment with the builder is the extended warranty you receive on equipment ( SWG - 3...

Our pool was constructed by BH in April of this year. Our experience working with them was positive overall, although we did fire the first pool construction manager! I'll echo as well what @HeyEng and @Sparks22 stated - they will push to sell you extra pool sanitation devices which are useless...

Yep and we fell for it...... PB couldn't provide answers to basic questions post install (i.e. how do I know if this thing is working or when it needed replacing). They took it out and refunded me the cost in full. (y)

Rockish, I made similar costly mistakes for my install (tab chlorination, pool tiger, ozone) - so don’t feel so bad! PB marketed lower free chlorine levels (0.5 to 1 ppm) with the system. Discovered TFP during the build and gained enough knowledge in a very short time through this site for...

Got it. Thanks for the info!

Algae is slowly building up behind both of my pool lights. Question is can I remove the screws that hold the lens in place while underwater? Lights are PAL Lighting PAL-2T2.

Perfect, (y). Appreciate the feedback. Thank you!

SWG system is in! Ended up going with the Hayward T-Cell-3. FYI, if you register the SWG with Hayward you receive an extra 90 days on the warranty. Been running it at 65% for 14 hours a day (FC 2.5ppm). Adjusted it to 75% and will update after a few days. Aiming for 3.5-4ppm FC. Here are my...

I purchased the 12" version: Channellock 212 4-1/4-Inch Jaw Capacity Plier for Oil Filters PVC and Sink Strainers It’s worked great for me.

Thanks Texas Spalsh! Plan is to let the tabs work up the CYA to 70 and then switch over. Might as well since I paid for them. Amazed that my salt measurements with city water and the addition of LC has me up to 1000 ppm.

Latest test results below. I’ve been using two 99% TriChloro pucks per week since mid April. I’ve added LC from time to time to get my FC up (added 20 oz this am). CYA has already increased by 10 since my last CYA test 3 weeks ago. FC 3.5 CC 0.5 pH 7.5 TA 100 CH 400 CYA 40 Salt 1000 CSI 0.09...

Just received my refurbished Active 20 from Pool Partz! Saved a bunch of $. Grateful to this forum for the advice. Amazed to watch it climb and clean the water line!
