Thanks folks,....not a new pool owner but i need a kit and i always forget about the tft kit. It looks good to me, I'll have to pick it up asap. I just had to pick up new motor for my pump so it'll have to wait a week.

What size reagents come in the tf-100 and what sizes come in the xl option. Thanks in advance....kenlorz:-)

But just then that wounderfull brown truck pulled in my driveway and delivered my new blue diamond! :lol: :lol: :lol: All I can say is wow...it did an excellent job. My pool my was about as dirty as it gets, I had just finished stone raking ,planting seed and chopping hay around the outside...

Just an updated on an old post...Goldline had sent me a new cell to use, as it turns out the new cell had the same marks on the inside of it....so I guess mine was NOT cracked. However...I put a note in the box with my old cell asking goldline to check the chlorine output before returning it...

I'm also looking at either the diamond or the pearl, also pondering the cost VS warranty issue. Any bad experiences out there with either of these two machines, I've only read good info so far....also who is a good supplier. Not trying to hi-jack your thread..but why start another.... :lol: ...

I have a hayward clear-star plus 1200 ctg filter on our ig 20k pool. It has never really bothered me to take it out and clean it....yea it takes about 15-30 min depending on how dirty it is but so what. It does a pretty good job, my waters always nice and clear. I do have 1 compalint...and it's...

Well....we just put the lid on pool for the winter....a sad sad day! :( I removed my cell to bring it in for the season and I noticed it's cracked inside, at least it sure looks like it to me! I was looking for scale, junk or anything else after rinsing it with the hose. On the side where the...

I think you're right on the money Richard. Either way I just got back from the pool store and all looks pretty good... TC 4.5 FC 4.5 wich means CC =0 8) CYA 28....(I got about 75 this morning..I'll retest in 2 days, like I stated before I added a little less than 10lb) PH 7.5 TA 120 CH 120...

Thanks for all the info.....richard you still amaze me! :-D I think we're going to be ok. Today's # are TC 5.0 PH 7.6 AK 120 CYA 80....(added about 10lb yesterday) Salt 2850 I don't have a cc test...I never did get one this year. I've been using the HTH 5-way from wally world. The good...

Waste, what is sodium percarbonate? I know it's found in Oxyclean, other than that, don't know. Where did you get it and where did you find the recommended dosage? Thanks.

focalboy, being I live in the next state over (Pennsylvania), I got the same rain you did. Since I haven't tested my CYA since late spring, I have no idea how quickly mine dissapated. All I know is everything was fine until a week or so ago when we started getting inches of rain. Maybe we are...

OK, Here's the deal.. pool has been great all summer, no major adjustment accept for one ph up ( was low after heavy rain)and one bag of salt. TC has been good holding 3.5-4.5 ppm with swg at 50%, filter running from 9-6 and the 2-330(am) every day. The last two weeks I had to bump up the...

Wow...I am SO pleased. As I posted earlier my PB did a fantastic job. We actually wound up with the pentair fiber-optic light tower instead of the supervision..I guess they were having a hard time getting them and it was my option; But it didn't really matter to me...they look awesome at night...

I for one always pre-dilute most all chems I add; even bleach. I just think it's safer that way.( for my liner that is) Call me paranoid but I'd rather take the time than damage a very expensive piece of vinyl....never mind replacing all that water!!!!!!!! :wink:

I know that on the whole CH isn't really nesaccary for a vinyl lined pool but will it affect the life of my swg cell if it's too low. I'm going to bump up to at least 150 to make myself feel better, I'd rather spend a little cash on some chem than have scale forming in the cell, or ectching my...
