    Cleaning cement decking around pool

    We live in hot humid central Florida. 2 or 3 times a year the deck gets mildew and needs to be clean. We usually spray straight chlorine on the deck and let the rain clean it off. If necessary we will pressure wash some arears that need a little extra. The problem is if I do this again my wife...

    Spa Blower problem

    I had a similar problem and concluded it was the limit switch preventing the unit from overheating. I drilled small holes in the mounting pipe that the air blows through. I did 1 or 2 holes at a time. Each time I drilled a hole the unit ran longer. I wound up with 5 holes and the unit now keeps...

    The One Thing I would not want to do without Thread

    I love the clean clear water I get to swim in. By the way can someone tell me what a SWG is as it seems to be the most popular item liked by our members. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Replacing RP 2100

    I have a similar setup and found that the higher the btu the faster it heats up. To me I like the fastest heat up. I replace my 400,000 but with a 350,000 btu and that added an additional 10 minutes to heat up. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Raising spa/pool spillover

    While I solved one problem I may have caused another. Now that my spillway is an inch higher than it was the spa fills all the way to the top of the spa where it meets the bottom of the pool deck. This happens only when I have the water circulating. Do I need to be concerned that water can...

    Walmart has Chlorine Back on Shelves

    My pool stood has their chlorine inside the store but I have no idea where it is stored prior to the store. I will certainly ask these questions now that you have educated me. Thanks Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Walmart has Chlorine Back on Shelves

    I really don't know how to measure the strengh of chlorine but would think the same things you state could be true at Wal-Mart. I will be sure to watch this more carefully. Thank you. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Why would you buy Chlorine at Wal-Mart. No pool store in town? Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Raising spa/pool spillover

    There is a very pretty waterfall look now but very little sound. I was hoping for more sound but I'm very happy with the results. I should no longer have to drain the pool to use the spa. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Pool deck

    I want to paint my pool deck which is two tone acrylic. What type paint should I use. What do I use to mask the color so one doesn't bleed to the next. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Raising spa/pool spillover

    Couldn't find glass block under 3 inches so I went with granite. This measures 1 1/8 in height. With cement I hoping for 1 1/2 inches. Max I could fit was 2 1/2. Finished polished piece granite cost $150.00. I will let everone know the results upon completion. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Raising spa/pool spillover

    I have a cement (plaster) swimming pool and hot tub. Jandy valves isolate the hot tub for heating or allow the water to spill over into the pool for filtration. The spillway is almost level with the bottom of the skimmer. Every time I want to use the hot tub I have to drain the pool to a level...
