Hi all, for my final inspection, I would need to install alarms on all doors and windows with access to the pool area. The alarms must have a bypass options, but I dont seem to be able to find any where it is specified that they have that. Any of you have those you can recommend? I have two...

OK, thanks. thats just what I needed to know.

Hi all, I have a new pool (NTB Mini Pebbles) with plaster installed two months ago. I am very attentative with the chemistry, and measure most parameters several times a week. I feel that pH keeps crawling every time I adjust it to 7.5 it gets up to 8.3 or so within 4-5 days. So I am probably...

Hi all, I have a PureChlor SWG, with a timer on the panel. I have currently set it to run for app 8 hours (the pump runs for 10 hours a day at 10m3 per hour, the pool is 38m3 or 10k gal). There is 3500 ppm salt in the pool. I cannot find any instruction on how long time the SWG should run for...

This is amazing! Thanks! Just ordered it at a 3D printing service...

Would it be possible to share that file here?

Wow, that looks great. I am not very familiar with 3D printing. Is there a file with dimensions, you are willing to share, or how does that work? So I don't have to measure it myself with the risk of not measuring correct :rolleyes:.

Thanks for the info. Heat gun might be able to shrink the PVC slightly so it fits. The umbrellas we have are in two parts; the lower part is just a pipe (1.5"); the upper part is where the umbrella is attached. I guess most umbrellas are like that. Are you using an umbrella with a metal rod? I...

Thanks Jeff! The sleeves might be a good idea! Although I would like one that is long enough to support the full length of the umbrella holder. Actually, I just found out by searching, that a 1 1/4 SCH 40 PVC pipe has an OD of 1 5/8. Whether its strong enough to hold an umbrella I dont know...

Hi all, I have a couple of sunbrella holders (sleeves) in our pool, which is built in the concrete. The model is Aquastar US101, and the inner diameter of the sleeve is 1 5/8. Now, most umbrellas the pole is 1.5", which I am afraid will be very wobbly and perhaps damage the sleeve (which is...

Anyone know what brand/type this drain is? Thanks

So nobody have experience with a garden hose filter. Many of them claim they remove calcium and soften the water. For example this one: Amazon.com or this is specifically for pools: Hydro Life XL Pool and Spa Calcium Block Filter

Hi all, we are about to have the plaster installed (Stonescape) in our new pool. Where we live (Central FL) the water is notoriously known to be super hard, which is also why most houses here have water softeners. Now filling a new pool, I would like to use our hose (which is non-treated...
