SevenPup...... No typo :( ..... We are breaking records for the coolest, wettest spring/early summer ever. That's why we keep the pool at 92-94.... We get in it to warm up :oops:

I just got off the phone with Duraleigh after ordering some refills for my test kit. We had a very nice conversation and once again, he was very helpful. I told him how much I have appreciated all the information that I have gotten from this forum. We spoke of this "Bubble Cloud" issue and...

Well... my wife came home with one of those devices and I did a temporary hook up to my Hayward 1hp Superpump that is on a 20 amp circuit. At 9 cents per KWH, it came out to about $85/ month. This blew me away because that means my pump is costing me more to run than my heat pump and we keep...

Pool4me, I do have to admit that I haven't even read the manual yet..... I guess I am gender challenged in that.. :oops: . I am going to do that right now and see if there is a finer filter or solution they recommend. If there is anything significant, I'll post it. Greg OK... I read the 32...

First, I am NO expert, and my paint has been in my pool for a grand total of 4 weeks now, so take this all with a grain of salt :) I used Olympic Gunzite primer and Zeron topcoat. My pool is very small and it was very easy to apply. You would have the exact opposite problem I had. We had...

Well.... We just got out of the pool after 4 neighbors dropped by. A margarita and 90 degree pool temp is just right for the Pacific NorthWET. We have enjoyed this a lot. A pool this small heats up with the heat pump very fast. I am fairly confident the energy bill won't be too bad. So far...

Boy, I feel a good night's sleep coming on..... :sleep: Ted, thank you for the logical definition of the real function of a heat pump. It's still a bit of a stretch for a "logical" mind to grasp. It makes perfect sense the way you described it. FrustratedPoolMom (I love your name :goodjob...

I have a Hayward 6003T that I just fired up in a new pool. I also have a Hayward 1hp Superpump and an Aquarite SWG that share and circuit through a timer. I have read the schematics and literature, but just want to make sure I am doing this right. The timer will shut off power to the pump and...

Thank you all for your kind words. This has been a VERY interesting project. We wanted a VERY small pool on a VERY small budget. In fact, our budget was around $10k. We actually came in pretty close to our original budget. However..... the toll on my body was pretty incredible. The only...

Yup.... just shut the SWG off and the bubbles stopped. Started it up again and the bubbles filled the pool again right away. Interesting..... Greg

Thank you for pointing me to the "tiny bubble" thread Duraleigh. I just finished reading it. Interesting information. Jason...... that's too darn logical :oops: I guess this is a side effect of being Swedish..... Greg

I just finished building a very small pool (8x18) and installed an AquaRite SWG. I have a Hayward 6003T heat pump, Hayward 1hp Superpump and a Hayward sand filter. Everything seems to be working fine. PH and Alkalinity are within specs. The free chlorine level is a little low, but I am...

Thought I would post an update and ask a few more questions. We ended up using Olympic 2 part epoxy Gunzite primer and Zeron topcoat. Overall it went fairly smoothly except for the weather. We had unexpected rain and ended up building a tent over the pool to finish. Here is the finished...
