thank you!

I recently received new RJ60 system and I notice some irregularities on the electrode surface. They are not uniform grey, there are covered in spots that seems like oxidation - browning, greenish spots. I'm attaching a pic, but it's a bit hard to see since the cell itself is quite shiny I...

not exactly. CYA raises much faster with trichlor use compared to CH with cal hypo. and the range is much tighter for CYA, compared to CH.

so the pool season is starting somewhat soon for my region, and i started looking for chlorinating agents. typically i used trichlor to bring up my CYA to desired level and then bleach and cal hypo based on what is cheaper. the prices for chlorine went thru the roof last season and this one is...

Does anyone in Eastern/Central Mass happen to have this kind of PVC union? My plumbing around the filter/pump is done using those unions. I think they originally came from HD. I can't find them anywhere anymore and anything I find has different socket size/threading. I have a few plug and play...

no, not mentioning of $1600

The store didn't get enough of my regular -50F RV antifreeze, so I got a couple more bottles of -100F RV antifreeze. The ingredients are the same, so I assume it's safe to mix and use. But I'm wondering if it would translate into 1:2 ratio. Meaning, can I make 2 gallons of -50F antifreeze...

it might be my area, but the cheapest liner change i found was $5100, with prices above $7k not uncommon. but now i understand a little bit more about the trade offs and the price of conversation. thank you.

my installer is AWOL. i messaged him 2 weeks ago and didn't hear back. he still has 3 small problems to address (2 small wrinkly areas and one liner track tuck) and there is the whole sharp things at the deep end under the liner that he still doesn't know about. he didn't charge me $1600 for...

I recently had my liner changed. While that was not without a problem, it made me think of something. My pool is all around concrete. Concrete bottom, concrete walls. The shell is solid and aside from few hairline cracks seems almost water tight. I asked the installer if this could be...

he is local, and i would rather not spring this on him over the phone. he is going to be in the pool fixing some wrinkles anyway. i will lend him my mask if he needs one to check it out.
