This ;) Another update. Added some liquid chlorine the other day and looks like a trend is starting to form. When the FC level is higher it seems to be less accurate. I've seen twice now when I'm measuring with the dropper kit my FC is 5-6 and water guru thinks its 1.0-1.5 lower. I suppose...

FYI I did end up buying a Waterguru and am so far happy with the results vs my Taylor K-2006 kit. I use liquid chlorine and measure in the morning about 30 min after the pump turns on. If this continues for the week I'll probably trust it enough to maybe manual measure only once a week on the...

Not sure if everyone saw this but looks like they have an a square skimmer adapter now. I've been watching this thread myself to see if I think its worth $300 for the convenience. https://waterguru.com/product/square-skimmer-adapter/

Hi I just came across this thread and have been thinking about how to do this as well! Does the Fibaro sensor have some special capability that allows it to take the inputs from the temp sensor? Or is the Vera hub the one interpreting the inputs when setting up this sensor a specific way? I...

To be honest I just have other things I'd rather spend my time maintaining or working on. The kids do like it though so I guess that's the trade off I made for the garages that also came with the house ;-) . And yes this site has been great. Thanks to everyone who shares their experience!

"On another level, on another plane already. H-O-V, I got my own lane already..." :wink: Good news, I hope. I had a local company come out and test with a leaktrac2100 and they found a small tear an inch or less (judging from the patch size) in the bottom corner of the shallow end. They said...

Thanks for posting. My water loss at this point I'm convinced is consistent after this latest 3+ day bucket test. Still losing regardless of temp, rain, no rain, etc. I would love to be wrong though trust me. The liner is 11+ years old and I'm learning this is about the time things could...

Do you think I am looking at a totally new liner because of this area by the stairs? I did a more controlled bucket test while I was out of town and it looks like the pool lost 1.5" over 3.5 days. Bucket only lost 0.375". This was in 90 degree heat with the solar cover on the entire time...

I guess you figured out I'm not the religious type ;-) Any advice on what I can do about the liner? Is this something I could leave until next season or is there risk of something getting worse if it freezes over the winter? Not home right now to see if I can hear anything. I would assume...

Posting a couple pics of the puffy area of the liner by my stairs. The the liner above the first step is where it is puffy. Also the edge where the pool wall meets the first step landing is coming up (its not flush in the right angle formed. You can also see some deformation on one of the...

I was also advised by the pool company to just shut the line for the skimmers and run the pump with just the main drain cycling the water for filtering. Is this advisable? Since once the level drops below the skimmer it will be sucking in air. Could the puffy liner and distortion be do to...

Moved from here Ironically I am also in MA as the OP is. I still consider myself a pool newbie and am having a similar problem as of the last few weeks to month. This is only my second season with the pool and last year I never had to fill it once. Lately I've had to add water every 4 or so...
