    Has anyone here built a marble patio/pool deck?

    Love the tile you guys selected. I am also in Vegas. Currently I have the cool decking option (concrete with specialized paint like surface) but chipping in various areas so thinking of going tile this time. Couple of quick questions: do you guys know if this can be installed over an existing...

    Circupool RJ45, low salt and check cell light on

    Ok, time to eat some humble pie :oops:. As discussed here on TFP the salt measurements between the CicraPool SWG and the Taylor test kit 1766 are two completely different methods "trying" to provide the same measurement (salt content). The engineers can explain the difference but in the case of...

    Circupool RJ45, low salt and check cell light on

    Well that kind of sucks. I sure expected to get more than 4 seasons from the RJ45+ Worked fine last season. Took off for winter and cleaned very well with garden hose on jet spray and a zip tie to knock loose the crud. No visible crud, no visible discolor on the plates when I put in garage for...

    Circupool RJ45, low salt and check cell light on

    I am experiencing the same thing with my RJ45, original install 2020 season so I am entering my 5th season with my RJ45. Low salt indicator starts flashing after 10 minuts, then after 20 minutes low salt solid red and cell maint solid red. I don't use acid to clean, zip tie and hose spray have...

    SWG run time and PH creep - any science to support this?

    Probably adding less pool water so far, well into June, due to lower than normal temps here in Vegas. Most logical explanation is the likely low auto fill so far. Chems: FC: 6 PH: 7.7 and extremely stable so far TA: 100 and extremely stable so far Water temp: 86.3 CH: 450 CYA: low, probably...

    SWG run time and PH creep - any science to support this?

    I have noticed this year (here in Vegas) that might PH is much more stable so far than in previous years. All variables are pretty much the same except I am running my SWG for much shorter time periods at a small bump in "% on rate". I almost hesitate to even tempt the pool gods since things...

    Circupool RJ-45 Production Test

    WOW! This thread makes my head hurt! Now normally I like to get into the weeds, record details, spreadsheets, testing, etc. But man, this thread goes to another dimension!!! Here is my simplistic input: RJ45+ owner, about 15k gallons, run all the TFP chemical testing....net-net I Love my RJ45+...

    New pump install / plumbing implications

    Is the current 2.5" coupler you mentioned the one in the picture "intake connection? I am trying to figure out how I remove that coupler. Do I use a heat gun right where the "white" coupler connects to the valve? Concept apply heat via the heat gun and that white coupler should loosen enough for...

    New pump install / plumbing implications

    My old pump died (motor got very loud before finally seizing up). A couple of months ago I took the pump apart, cleaned it very well, replaced the impeller and some seals. Might have helped a smidge but I think the motor had just passed its useful life. I have a new pump on order and its time...
