Thought I would check back as pool season is around again in my neck of the woods and a year has gone by. I see lots of development on the app since we talked about this last year, and congrats on that! But I don't see any mentions of totally offline. Wondering if this was still on the...

Appreciate the detail. Just spitballing here, but I'm guessing you are making all the calculations locally, writing to the db, and then calling the realm sync engine? Or possibly the realm sync engine is always watching the db? If it's the former, then couldn't you just add an option not to...

I knew my post was going to start a storm, and I would be in the minority. I however am not changing my opinion, but I think what you've posted clarifies how you want the users to use the app, and not give them a choice on data storage. And in today's changing world, that just continues to...

He specifically states: We require authentication in the app so that your pool data can be sync'd and saved to the cloud. We decided the workflow was too messy and would create a poor user experience if we wanted to allow local device storage only until a user logged in after that. It...

First, I want to say thanks for the development, never an easy task. I would however like to discuss the storage. I may possibly be in the minority when I say this, but why only cloud based? (It appears to be so you can access anywhere/anytime). If so, ok, but really how many folks are truly...

Trying to test for Android and getting the following error when clicking on the link on the google plus page: App not available A testing version of this app hasn't been published yet or isn't available for this account. If you've been invited to become a tester, make sure you're signed in to...

Re: Do not order from www.solarcovers.com solarcovers.com is just another poolsupplies.com AKA Leisure Living website. They do warranty their covers. The cheapest ones have atleast a 1 year full warranty. I bought one for my pool at the beginning of the season, the best clear model they...

holy Crud Casey. I must be in your neck of the woods. Small world. I believe this is your cl post: http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/for/3043542917.html

I just found this and read it, and it just sends a shiver to the soul. I agree this needs to be prominently displayed, not to scare but really to educate. We're so accustomed to what we see on TV, where in real life it is very different. Jason, please post in pool school, on the home page...

now that you mentioned gasoline, i would agree that probably would be the worst. if memory serves there is a chemical added to gas, MTB(??) maybe that gets in to the groundwater and permanently pollutes it, no way to remove it. guess you'd be draining and refilling plus changing filter medium...

hehehe mythbusters did that in a smaller amount. big boom. but they also did it with something else that provoked more of a reaction then sodium, but i can't remember what it was.

Aerate. I've seen a couple of pics of our members who made pvc "fountains" that fit in to a return to spray the water across the pool to help bring it down. Of course watch your pH drift after doing that. I believe running the pump during certain times makes a difference too: night to cool it...

I think the only downside is if it has copper in it then you have to worry about green hair and what not. Plus I believe it will actually up your chlorine demand as the chlorine will eat it too. Polyquat 60 is what is recommended around these parts. I can't comment on the clarifier.

Well then you would be adding gasoline & oil & break fluid, possibly antifreeze depending on the bike and maybe battery acid. I ain't swimming in your pool then :shock:

I haven't seen one of those in years, but I'm glad to see someone else appreciates that sign. You can always tell the younger ones that you put a chemical in to detect if someone pees in the pool and the water will turn red around them, but that only works till they wise up :mrgreen:
