Re: Pentair/Compool CVA-24T actuator... manual control? The off position is definitely needed. I am still fine tuning my system and don't have every bug worked out yet. Last night we had a bad wind and rain storm so I closed the cover. The pump was off at the time. I should have also turned the...

Ok. I will have them tommorow. Thanks guys

I will post a full set numbers for all the tests tommorow. All I know for sure is he is using trichlor pucks and muratic acid. It doesn't sound like he ever has to raise his TA or PH just lower it once in a while. Of course he is only using strips and and only tests for chlorine , TA and PH. I...

Ok so my buddy who has owned a pool for about three years came over this weekend and was shocked at the sparkle and quality of my water. Heis a little stressed because he has some bad build up on the floor and walls of his plaster pool. He says it's not algae but it is very hard and rough on...

After you add the salt and are waiting the 24 hours to turn on swg can you swim?

Re: **Please Help**Questions about starting up new plaster p Yes the best thing would be to be upfront with your PB and nail him down Early on start up and training. unfortunately my PB is a great builder but lacks a lot this end of the project. I did my research and picked one of the most...

Re: **Please Help**Questions about starting up new plaster p Wow. I hadn't considered that or read anything here recommending trichlor tabs. That seems like a really good idea. I have been dealing with rising PH everyday. I also have been worried about cya being low. I did add some but only...

Re: **Please Help**Questions about starting up new plaster p I was planning on waiting 28 days. I was just explaining what my builder said. I plan on using bleach for the first month.

Re: **Please Help**Questions about starting up new plaster p It is going good. Like I thought my PB was almost no help. We filled the pool on Friday. He threw in a sequestrat and some non chlorine shock told me to add salt in a few days and left. I started following the advice from this from...

Great, thanks for all you help.

Thanks for the link. I read it and learned alot about the different filters so now I am totally undecided. :? I guess I will sleep on it and make a decision in the morning. By the way it is a Pentair DE quad 100. Thanks for the replies.

My pool is almost done. It is supposed to be filled tommorow. I just got home and noticed the PB installed a DE filter instead of a cartridge. We had agreed on a cartridge all along and never even considered a de filter. I don't know anything about them. The PB is telling me he made a mistake...

Ok thanks. My chlorine levels drop very fast and even though we keep tub covered and only use about once a week I add chlorine about every other day. Do you think this is because my CYA is on the lower end? This is the first time I ever checked CYA.

Just received my test kit and since my pool is being filled tomorrow I wanted to practice on my UG fiberglass hot tub. Here are my reading if I did correctly. FC 10 TA 130 PH about 7.4 CYA 30 CC .5 My hot tub is at 95 degrees. I could not find any charts for hot tubs so I was wondering how...

Re: **Please Help**Questions about starting up new plaster p Thanks for all your input. I will definately follow my PB's instruction first but I am a little concerned about his lack of communication. The company has a service department and I think he is going to try and sell me some sort or...
