    I used to use purple stuff but they don’t appear to make the spray…. What would you do?

    Size of Speed Stirrer magnet

    Quick question Our Taylor Speed Sir magnet got "blown" away by over-enthusiastic roofers... There are replacements on Amazon, but I'm wobbling on the size. 1-inch?

    Travertine... or ceramic???

    We were dead-set on Travertine coping for our pool renovation. Until we couldn't go to the regular places (National Pool Tile and Master Tile in Houston) without an appointment and our pool builder - not to mention they're all closed on Saturday! We found ourselves in a small, independent...

    Starting out on a renovation

    Our 17-yr old pool in NW Houston was not looked after well by previous owners and is in serious need of renovation. But I didn't realize it was going to involve so many decisions! The advice from TFP has been invaluable to us over the last three years and now I'm hoping you can come through and...

    Jandy Pro Series JXi Gas-fired Pool and Spa Heater 400btu - VersaFlo error

    Thanks... it kinda worked I turned the pool into service mode, made sure the heater was off, went through the options and selected bypass mode "enabled", then got everything fired up again. The heater came on! But no heat. Within 5-mins it wasn't working again and I haven't been able to...

    Jandy Pro Series JXi Gas-fired Pool and Spa Heater 400btu - VersaFlo error

    Thanks I've contacted the installer, but was hoping to be in the pool over the weekend so wanted to come up with a solution myself. The error is displayed on the heater - the automation doesn't know anything is wrong. I'm posting a couple of photos of the error message. There's no ignition...

    Jandy Pro Series JXi Gas-fired Pool and Spa Heater 400btu - VersaFlo error

    Hi folks We got a new heater installed just over a week ago and have had some very pleasant evenings. However, we had an ignition error on Thursday (I managed to fix that) Now, we have a "check VersaFlo" fault. We've had issues with air in the tank/system, so I bled that. The filters were...

    Black/grey shadow on porous rocks above water line

    Do you use it at/near the waterline? I'm leery of using anything that would add unfavorable ingredients to the pool

    Black/grey shadow on porous rocks above water line

    in regards to this product, what are the ingredients? It says "No Bleach" but I thought Bleach was the be-all-and-end-all of pool cleaning.

    Black/grey shadow on porous rocks above water line

    It would probably fail the OCLT (just a guess). We've had problems before and just poured the bleach over the rocks, but this time it's not budging. I have a love/hate relationship with our pool. It's 17-yrs-old and we inherited it 2 years ago. It wasn't well maintained and there's HUGE...

    How cold of water will you swim in?

    Lol in Houston we're considering end of season with ambient air of 88 and pool temp 83. The beginning of the season we tolerate cooler temps, then get spoiled during the summer. If we were more active, like the kids, we'd probably tolerate cooler temps. I'll probably go to 78 if I have to with...
