A physical store can be a lease, a truck a lease, an excavator rented, help subcontracted, and personal liability shielded behind a corporate veil. I'm not saying these types of builders are crooks, they might be epitomy of high speed low drag, but I am saying beware of builders who have no real...

The builder you talk to before signing the contract is a different builder than after you sign it. Pick the one who's been around for awhile and has physical assets.

Hello, Just an update that I hope is helpful to anyone in the future. I did get the C-600 and the "TF Salt Bundle a.k.a. K-1766". The K-1766 resulted in 2600 ppm, and the C-600 returned 2500. The K-1766 is measured in increments of 200, so it's the amount of drops times 200. This meant that is...

Awesome, thanks. I'll pick up a set next week. Probably going to wait until the pollen is done before putting them in though.

I managed to squeak out five years on my current filters but I think this year I'll just replace them. Is there a gold standard in brands? I see on Amazon there are several brands, I'd rather spend the money if I know the filter is of a better quality. Thanks

Ok. Thanks, I appreciate your help and if I can find the time I will give it a try.

I've found the AuqaPure reading to be wildy inacurate.

Unfortunately they messed up the deck grading so if I get decent rain I end up having to let out a ton of water. Because of this I test salt and CH fairly often.

Thanks, about how many tests can I do before needing more reagent?

Hello, Past few years I have been using salt test strips. I prefer to test often but not many come in the jar and they aren't cheap so I am looking at alternatives. I see TF Test Kits now has two alternatives, the salt test kit and test meter. How many tests can I get out of the test kit before...

I looked around and could not find a 1250-watt pond de-icer for $50, and the ones I found for much less wattage had mixed reviews. Why would I not want to hear a recommendation from someone on what they decided? That has real value to me and if it doesn't to you that is fine but it's not for you...

That's a real shame, I would have liked to know which one you got.

By any chance does anyone know the thread size where the air gauge screws into the upper filter housing of a Jandy CV340? Mine just snapped off and I'm thinking about just cobbling one together myself from part at the big box store. I do know the gauge has a special fluid in it to prevent...

Two business days later I got a reply: "Please reach out to your dealer for any updates and decision details on your claim." I'm guessing they are referring to the company that installed the pool? Why would they have anything to do with this? They know nothing about fiberglass pool repair, it's...

Update: other than a brief phone call two weeks after the claim suggesting waterline tile I have not yet heard back from Viking\Latham. It's now been two months of radio silence so I broke down today and emailed them.
