    How long should my heat pump take

    Do you have a variable speed pump? I had a duh moment when I was complaining about the pump not heating that fast then my one 9 year old said dad doesn’t the pump slow down later in the day. I run it at 1800 from 4pm to 7am. While enough to run the heater the water was just not moving at an...

    What the consensus?

    I have a medium blue liner and my chlorine for two years was around 6-8. I figured it was easier to keep the swg setting the same as I travel a lot for work then risk the chlorine dropping too low. Liner still looks new. This year with less travel I have it at around 4. I think the sun does more...

    Scaling From Excess Salt

    Just to comment on your pool mfg. the town will have your building permits and they should have information on the pool builder if not the manufacturer itself. All you need to provide is your address to the construction department. If they only have the builder it is a starting place to call.

    It was to early when I typed. 50 and 60 not 55 and 60. Vinyl Liner pool. Salt water chlorination.

    Boric acid and liner

    I used a scoop (extra one from chicken feeder) and put in 55 pounds. Most of it dissolved quickly. I put in the deep end walking around the back edge.

    Low TA and Borate

    I tested my water using the Taylor test kit. I must have accidentally added an extra drop in the TA test as I thought my TA was 66 and twice now I tested it at 55. When I thought I had it at 66 I added the Boric Acid. Pool now sits at PH 7.4, FC 5, TA 55, CYA 40 (will increase in a couple...

    Boric acid and liner

    I put boric acid in on Friday from Duda55lbs and 28k pool, FC was 7, TA 66, PH 7.4. It went in and I brushed it to I could not see anymore white granular clumps on the floor. It was similar to when I add salt with the cloud it kicked up. I then left for a work trip retuning tonight. I looked...

    Dolphin Apollo tearing pool liner?

    We have a dolphin and liner and never had an issue. If you had the dolphin that long I don't see why it would suddenly have an issue. I do agree on it getting hung up. Our dolphin gets hung up at times on the bottom drain.

    New Member - Chaise Lounge with Armrest or Without Armrest?

    We looked at the arm rests and opted not to have them. It was too restrictive and the rests were too low to be useful. So it wasn't worth the cost. We found the best price/ delivery on wayfair.

    Treo Lights

    Thanks. They are only a few inches below the water line. I’ll shut the power off.

    Safety Cover Recommendation

    Same size cover, but free form. Paid just shy of 5K for a Dover cover installed. The install was not great as they did not core drill and in hindsight I should have used someone else to install. I used mesh because the solid cover is like 700 pounds for my pool.

    Treo Lights

    First year with a pool. Our liner is too big so we can't drain it too far. As a result, we can't drain below the Treo LED lights. The builder installed them after the pool was filled with water. I went to pull the lights and the connection is not coming out and the line is tight so I think...
