Gauge on my filter is all sun faded and beat up from Texas sun. Can’t read it at all. Can this be DIY replaced and if so where can I buy the parts for a reasonable price and is there a video that can show me how? I can turn a wrench and follow video instructions pretty good but I’m not...

Still a noob here even though I’ve been a member a while. I travel for work every week so I hire a weekly pool service (don’t shoot me) so my weekends are not nothing but home maintenance. Recently the pool company they changed hands and the service and my pool went to Crud. They’ve been fired...

Will do Kim on posting final color pics. I'm hoping to be able to take the same photo in similar time of day lighting, every other day so I can monitor the color change over the first few weeks. Aware of the green/cloudy hue we'll have at first, thanks to my TFP knowledge. GDF

Water is flowing. Dual hoses from 1p CT using two bibs on each side of my house. Gym socks wrapped and zip tied. If I see the backyard neighbor that backs up to us, and he's amenable to my paying his March water bill, I can possibly speed this up. Only my fellow TFPers know how freaking...

Thanks all for the input. I knew the 24-48hrs for the pool fill is negligible without soft water for indoor applicances and such. More about laundry and showers for two days without nice soft water.

Thanks I know I can’t stop. Did I understand the comment that if I use my softener bypass valve while filling that the flow to the hose bibs will be restricted and take even longer to fill? Has anyone ever run 2nd water fill hose from neighbors with permission of course?

Two questions. a) If it rains tomorrow between plaster today and acid wash Monday will the acid wash cleanse any stain from settled rain? b) The product registration the Pebble Tech applicator left says that if I have whole house water softener, to not use that water for initial fill. I do...

Yes KK. We are officially plastered. Crew started at 830 and left around 1230. Acid wash and fill are scheduled for Monday.

Fingers crossed today is supposed to be plaster day!

Thanks so much. Planning to wrap the counters with brick that matches the house and the fire place wall and pizza oven veneer will be the same 1x2 split face the pool beam has to try and tie things together. Decisions pending are; - granite tops that “sort of” matches the inside granite...

Decking wrapped up and the kitchen framers did their thing the past couple days.
