After receiving a quote from Margaret in cleaners she thought the Prowler 920 or 930W would fit my needs. Just depended on if so wanted the carrier and Wi-Fi or not. I’m reasonably confidant so don’t have to have the carrier. Not for the price jump anyways. How important is the Wi-Fi...

Without getting into a big thing we do not follow that. We generally keep it no higher than 4, and are very good at it. However we had a party and I vacuumed, backwashed and refilled and turned up the feeder to replenish the chlorine and forgot to turn it down the next day. I could tell it...

Pools been in since June. So far I’ve had one mouse swimming, one on the bottom and a baby mouse in the skimmer. Last night we were swimming and one of my girls said they could see feet in the skimmer. Took the top off and there was a young rabbit in there. 🤦‍♂️ Probably only in there a day...

Does anyone use this? The block looks like one shade of yellow I have had all sorts of chlorine levels from 1-10 and it all looks like the same shade of yellow to me. I have even shown it to several family and friends and it’s not just me. I have the TF-pro kit and just been using the more...

I ordered the test kit and intended to order the PH meter and I got the standards kit. The website was acting up that day or I just fat fingered. But I got what I ordered although I didn’t intend to order the standards. I also wanted extra CYA reagent. Typed that into the search box and...

Just for the pool math app which I have already downloaded. but thanks for the the link. I’ll check them out in the morning.

In the kit I have R-0003 and R-0600. Loose in a bag were R-7065, R-7065,R-7064, R-7073 and R-7062.

Got my kit today and the instructions were pretty lacking. Little disappointed actually. The only instructions included were for chlorine, calcium, TA and CYA. I was able to identify the reagent for PH but don’t know how many drops to use. And there were 2-3 other bottles that I have no...

The ingredients are on the bottles. Or an easy google search. I do have a Taylor kit on order. Seems weird that the machine they use is worse than the home test that sounds kind of subjective where you have to be in a certain amount of light and look at it in a certain way

The biggest complaints were cost as the salt generator would Crud out in a few years and corrosion.

So I’m another thread I made someone said I needed FC at 10-13 ppm. I told my wife and she just about fell out of her chair. She runs a swim school, about 5000 students a week, and she keeps the pool at 2 ppm. In Iowa the state will shut down a public pool at 10 ppm. Not looking to start an...

Had a water test tonight. Chlorine level is my fault. I had some some tabs that were about two years old, hissing the chlorine was ineffective. Put in a fresh stick. And yes, I’ve been schooled on the sticks and read all the articles. I bought a whole jug of them so I’m going to at least use...
