    TFP Supported / Marina Coupon Code

    @Leebo - no problems and no hard feelings at all. Hope my response did not appear ‘grumpy’ or anything like that. Was just trying to be informative :) Internet pricing is tough, feels like a race to the bottom always, and coupon codes can push deals into the red which is really no good long...

    TFP Supported / Marina Coupon Code

    Hi guys - just talked with Margaret. The deal is the tfp code for discounts does not apply to ANY pool cleaners or pool cleaner accessories. So that is why they cannot honor it. We should update the forum supporter benefits to reflect that. I still bought the cleaner and filter because I want...

    TFP Supported / Marina Coupon Code

    Hello, I am a recent Bronze supporter, and trying to place an order at Marina Pools for a Evo614iq cleaner + an extra filter, I have the code for them that I was provided for supporting the forum, but it keeps saying it cannot apply to this order. This is an Evo cleaner, not matronics, so not...

    Converting Hayward Northstar single speed single pool pump to a VSP and Smart Switch/Timer installation

    I wanted to update this thread yet again! Frankly - the GE Z-wave units were unreliable for me through my Ring & Amazon Alexa applications. It would say that it had carried out the routine to turn them on sometimes - and in fact it had not. I just could not live with this type of uncertainty. I...

    Converting Hayward Northstar single speed single pool pump to a VSP and Smart Switch/Timer installation

    I wanted to update this thread - those Dewenwils outdoor smart outlet boxes had a critical failure on me and I have since replaced them with a pair of these Z-wave GE models...

    is clorox performance bleach the same as clorox regular?

    Hi All - I know this is reviving an older thread on this, but it is the top one that came up when I was searching for some follow-up. Here in July 2021 - I reached out to Clorox on their 'Clorox performance Bleach" with CloroMax technology' bleach that I had been buying from Sam's Club to...

    Looking for SLAM insights - getting stumped - no cc's, clear water, trouble with OCLT + burning through chlorine

    Thanks @Katodude - that's my plan, getting my CYA back up to 70-80, and then holding my FC in that 8-10 PPM range.

    Looking for SLAM insights - getting stumped - no cc's, clear water, trouble with OCLT + burning through chlorine

    @TriangleMan - yeah, Flood was my favorite album of their's. I remember that Tiny Tunes video - it is imprinted in my mind! If I recall, that is pretty much the 'official' music video for that song + I believe they did Istanbul as well. Good stuff. And funny with the kiddos I have heard that...

    Looking for SLAM insights - getting stumped - no cc's, clear water, trouble with OCLT + burning through chlorine

    Thank you all for the replies - really helps give confidence in 'trust the #'s' and keep exhaustively looking at EVERY source there could be. @TriangleMan - first off anybody who has a TMBG quote in their signature is a good dude in my book, that song brings me back! Super thorough post there...

    Looking for SLAM insights - getting stumped - no cc's, clear water, trouble with OCLT + burning through chlorine

    Thanks for the replay YippeeSkippy I realize my post was a bit long, but to clarify I am losing way more than the 2-4 sun tax a day, by my calculations with the bleach I am putting in + the SWG runtime, I am losing like 15-20+ PPM a day through this process, every day for a week... On the...

    Looking for SLAM insights - getting stumped - no cc's, clear water, trouble with OCLT + burning through chlorine

    Water chem is as follows: FC: maintaining around 24PPM (lowest it has dropped to during process was 20) CC: 0 CYA: 50-60 (always hard to tell, been running SLAM with 24 target) TA: 70 CH: low 300's Salt: 3200 +/- pH: not reliable now, but generally in the 7.6/7.8 range (water feature tends to...
