Texas Splash, thanks for the reply! The stains are fairly subtle, and it’s hard to show them well. Anyway, I will keep the FC up a bit and keep scrubbing. Otherwise, the pool is looking great this spring!

We opened up our pool last week and there were a lot of leaves in the pool from over the winter. Our pool cover always has a bit of a gap at the end and so it seems like leaves can get in easily. Anyway, I vacuumed out the leaves and we did an initial test. FC: 6 CC: 0 Calc Hardness: 275...

Yeah, I forget how it worked out. I think I asked him to buy a larger cell, but he had already gone and got the smaller one because it worked “fine in the last pool he built.” Our pool builder was just starting out. Took a bit of a risk. Price was right. I’m pleased with how it turned out in...

Thanks! We just opened it today. Chemicals are looking good and we will probably be able to get the heat pump running with this warmer weather! Swim time this weekend. :)

We got some work done in the early spring. Can't wait for the warm weather to roll in!

Got the autocover installed over the weekend. Pool is pretty much done. Time to get the pavilion built!

Thanks Maddie, We are really happy how it is turning out. Tomorrow, they are going to install the autocover and probably do the winter shut down. It'll be nice to turn the pump off and save some money on electricity! I need to figure out some program settings on the pump for next season to...

We are moving right along!

Interesting. I thought the active series and S series were identical. Based upon the product specs it seems like the S300i is the same as the Active 30i. Anyway, I appreciate the input. I know this question comes up every year...

I saw Dolphin has a new T series line on its website. It looks similar to the S series and Active series. I understand that the S series and Active series are identical, but does anyone know anything new about this T series? Thanks!

Some more work got done. Expansion joints were cut into the concrete. Work is underway for the pavilion base. Sonotubes have been placed for the posts. Inspection should happen on Monday. He'll probably pour Tuesday or Wednesday next week. In the picture above, the area between...

Great tip! I think the time and hassle saved with using the autocover as our wintercover will be worth it. Hopefully, we will get the autocover installed this week!

Yeah, He'll be cutting the expansion joints once it sets up. There are a couple spots where he wasn't as pleased with the finish of the concrete, but it looks fine by me. I like the broom finish. Deck chairs don't wobble like they would on stamped concrete. He'll be getting the concrete...

So, we passed our electrical inspection for the pool and finally it's concrete pour day!!!

We got the forms installed and the area back filled. Easytouch and screen logic are working. I did plug the ethernet cable from my screenlogic straight into my network switch and it is working just fine. The pool builder is going to get his electrical inspection on Monday and then has...
