Tony. After Tony Hawk because it looks like it grinds the circular part of our curved seating in the shallow end.

I have not seen shortages in general. HD, lowes are out of stock a bit quicker than normal, but Leslie's here gets in two shipments a week and always seems to have some. it a bit more expensive but I do what I need to keep it TFP clear and clean.

Hello from Helotes, TX

up to 76 today... tomorrow we have 97 deg. temps forcasted. I'm thinking a swim tomorrow after work....

69. Clean, clear and ready for swimming ( for me anyway) once it warms up another 8-10 degrees. My daughters boy friend has already been swimming several times over the last week or so.

this is great!

I'm just curious... Did anyone just remove the plugs, drain the equipment and leave the lids off the pumps, etc and actually fair well through the freeze? I wondered if that was the best route through all of it vs. trying to keep it running all the time with rolling blackouts or in my case...

use your part number off the pump and order a new volute housing and replace. it doesn't look overly complicated if you are mechanically inclined. there are also youtube videos on how to do this as well.

In Helotes, TX just outside San Antonio. same.. still running pumps full time. all is good so far... we are expecting snow/ice late this evening into tomorrow AM. I also have blankets over the equipment and a tarp around my pool equipment.

Like you, I have the same setup. If you have the Screenlogic app, you can also enable freeze protection for the pumps under the Screenlogic setup app, under Setup Circuits- turn on "On with Freeze" by configured circuit. Alternatively, since the weather will be at freezing or lower until mid...

I also use a timer. I plumbed it into the manual pvc fill line. in the winter, I replace the timer with a piece of pvc with the proper threaded ends as the timer says not to leave out in the freezing weather. The water evaporation is so much less in the winter its manageable once or twice a week.

Same happened to me on my last home depot purchase.

One year ago yesterday, we filled our new pool. Since then, I have followed the TFP way and have enjoyed wonderfully clear and clean water. At first, I was intimidated by the thought of having to add chlorine daily, but once I got in to a routine, it was no big deal. For those who are not...

faulty temp sensor maybe?

Same here... I just cut it off and let it float around.
