So over the winter I had a large crack show up in my Stonescapes mini pebble finish. They came out last week and cut out a section and patched it, matching the existing finish (of course the color will not match but that is ok). The patched area is pretty small in the grand scheme of things...

Organizing is one thing. But the issue I had is my pool noodles and any mesh/fabric on the pool floats all deteriorated in the sun in just one summer. So I’m looking for something that can both organize large floats and keep them out of the sun.

I just got the Aquasense Pro and it is currently on its first cleaning. My pool was very dirty so easy to tell when it did not clean. It missed a lot of spots. My pool is irregularly shaped so I assume it opted into the random pattern mode. This is the issue I had with past robots. Random is not...

TLDR; the warmer the water, the more lights work. I have an odd light behavior that no one can explain. The lights will be replaced soon but I’d still like to understand it. I have 5 Pentair GloBrite color LED lights in my pool. 3 in the pool proper and 2 on the sun deck inside Pentair color...

I think last winter I drained down just past my sun/baja shelf, so about 6-10" below my skimmers. This left at least one, maybe more of my lights still underwater for the winter. Does any extra winterization need done for those lights? Anything need done for those that are now out-of-water...

TLDR; Does the water level need drained for replacement of Pentair GloBrites? My pool is new (opened in October '22). Immediately 4 of the 5 GloBrite lights for my pool did not work. After struggling with my PB to replace them he finally dumped me off to work with pentair directly and they...

Definitely something I've had an eye on if pH becomes a pain. pH is really the only thing I have to worry about right now. Everything else seems to be dialed in pretty well. PoolMath wants my CH to be a little higher but I'm intentionally staying at the low end of ideal for that anyway. My...

So it has been a couple of days and my pH seems to be holding steady at 8.0, though I am having to add an inch of (9 pH) fill water now. Would you recommend: a) I try to bring my TA down by bringing pH down to 7.0 or 7.2 with acid and aerating pH back up b) just let pH hover at 8.0 and only...

You right, 2005

Oops, I misspoke. Not TF-100 but the Taylor K-2005.

It doesn't help my fill water is like 9 pH, but it also has 30 TA. And I do have to add an inch of water about once a week (or more if I'm testing the waterfall leak...but that's another story). We've had a dry spring. My pool TA has been stable between 60 and 70 (its hard to tell with the...

I wish I could get it to stay at 7.8. If I leave it alone it will be 8.2 in a few days.

Hey all, just wanted to ask if I should be concerned about the chronically high pH in my pool. See my signature for all relevant info. My numbers seem ok but I have to add a lot of muriatic acid (about 1.5-2 pints every two days). I have a big waterfall feature and a couple bubblers but I...

The straight shot is not going to the heater as you can see in the picture. That has been my dilemma. Straight is bypass. diverted right is to heater. I can try 17 but if I remember correctly the check valve flap look like it was still closed. And anything larger than that number seems like...
