Hi, @guinness messaged me ~45 minutes ago about this thread, my control panel is still available, people here can see if it's exactly what you need. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/for-sale-easytouch-4-p-s-control-panel-pwr-supply-breakers.258829/#post-2262165

I like the idea but rain a barrel seems like another body of water to manage, otherwise it'd risk bacteria etc, not to mention all the debris it'd pick up in my instance like pine needles, leaves, dirt, and whatever else from my asphalt shingles & roofing gutter system. Possibly a good solution...

Seemed like the thing to do! I'll stop if needed, I'm just trying to balance the water. If pointless I'll stop! I haven't even tested TA in I bet >15 years

I'm wondering if TA is something I'll be able to lower and maintain, or if it's just not possible with some people's water: https://sandy.utah.gov/1058/Water-Quality Here's my notes since yesterday: 7/22/2022: 11:41am: added 64oz 31.45% MA 12:15pm: ph 7.41 per digital meter, turned on spa...

I'm going to start the TA reducing process - drop pH to ~7.2, aerate to raise pH back to ~7.8, use MA to drop the pH......... rinse/repeat. Pool Math is calling for ~1.25 gallons of 14.5% MA to do this - any idea on how many cycles it'll take? My spa bubbles like crazy, I'll probably set my...

quick test: FC: 7.5 CC: .5 TC: 8 pH digital: 7.79 pH titration: 7.8 TA: 120-130 **TA test: @ 12 drops it changed to red, at 13 it was Really Red. Is TA 120 or 130?

I have just a keyed switch, search Cover Pool Keyed switch, it's the red one. There was a friendly guy at the cover shop who threw one in when I bought a new motor a few years ago. I've replaced my cover twice in 18 years, getting ready to replace it again in the next couple years (tear from...

Thanks Mike! I tested ph and added more MA, I just modified the post above trying to keep it simple.

just tested pH again this morning - 8.06 per digital meter, real close to 8.2 per the small block titration test. I added what Pool math called for: 70oz of MA - (2 quarts 6 oz). --- edit: Tested again ~1.5 hours later: 7.71 pH Added 32oz 14.5% MA @ 9:45am - will test TA, CL (fc & cc), and...

Have you considered one of the big covers that are usable when closed? (I have!) I have a ton of trees, so does my neighbor, and we get a lot of snow, so my pool season is officially May-September, but I'll extend that ~1.5 months each direction sometimes. The quote you received was higher...

7/19/2022 FC: 3.5 CC: 0.5 TC: 4.0 PH: 8.14 CH: 250 TA: 120 CYA: 60 Salt: 3554 per digital meter CSI: 0.39 Added after testing, per pool math's rec: 2.5 quarts 14.5% MA, I was surprised to see PH above 8 again 1 gallon 10% bleach, pool math said 138oz to target 8fc, I just did 128oz...

That looks like my old heater! Could be your flow switch (had a tech come out to replace mine in ~2006), not sure what else they did. I replaced mine with a mastertemp400 back in 2010, wasn't too hard. Newer will be more efficient.

looks like the holes are only going to be filled, doesn't need to be structural...other than to hold a small plug/patch in place. There's a self-leveling sealant by Sikaflex that I think would work perfectly. It's a rubbery sealant for horizontal surfaces only (it'll drip down vertical...

post a video of it? Try a screwdriver or something just slightly smaller than the shear pin to find & align the hole before tapping in the new pin >>>>from another thread: https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/just-moved-in-cover-not-opening.254124/...
