Hi, I have a pretty simple setup - 16x32 vinyl liner pool with 2 skimmers/main drains, a variable speed pump (Pentair) with Hayward SWG and HeatPump Pro - HeatPro Heat Pump | Heaters | In Ground Pool Heaters - Hayward Pool Products. I don't really need an automation system as I have full...

So if you don't believe in pool turnovers then why is there a field for flow rate in the current app? There is still value in running the pump just to simply help keep debris out of the pool (auto-skimming) even if you don't believe in it for other reasons. Also VSP's are being mandated in...

I am not manually adding chlorine so I would like to see these additions added to log automatically. Maybe in the pool setup area there should be swg percentage and pump run time - then based on this chlorine added could be automatically generated in the log. Additionally it would be good to...

CYA is tough -- sometimes it goes up more than I expect and sometimes not as much. I always add a little less than is recommended to reach a level and wait about 5 days to get my level and even then think to myself to plus or minus 10 as the test is very subjective. In the end I wouldn't worry...

Yes that is helpful but it would be nice to record what you are actually running your SWG at and have that logged - along with pump run time. You could then review history to get an idea of chlorine dissipation by looking back at logs. It would be really cool to create a report from that log...

Hi, Can anyone point me on where I can give feedback to the creators of the Pool Math app? I’d like to suggest the following: 1. Add a field to record RPM of variable speed pump when recording flow rate 2. Add a field to record what percentage you are running SWG at 3. Enter VSP programming...

Hi, I followed the instructions from Trouble Free Pool to add DE to my Hayward Sand Filter. I ended up adding 4 cups of DE but even then the PSI only went up about 1/2 - 3/4 PSI (hard to tell, only in increments of 1's). I decided to stop as the guide says it typically takes 1-2 cups of DE...

Hi, The sacrificial anode for my pool is installed before my pump (see attached picture). I have been looking around online and it seems most suggest placing the anode AFTER the filter and before the heater. To move it would not be a huge job but I would rather not do it unless there is a...

It's dark out now - I will get one tomorrow. But to explain the picture - Top layer is Bluestone coping. The next level is the Quickcrete that attaches the stone to the metal frame. The gray you are seeing is the cantilever coping, and the liner goes in right below that (I believe that is the...

Hi, I have a new vinyl liner pool. I just had bluestone coping installed and I noticed that in some parts of the pool they got the cement in the liner track. I would think this would be a problem if I ever need to replace the liner. Should I ask my contractor to remove the cement in the...
