    How long to run pump after adding chemicals?

    Hi - We are about 10 days in from having new Pebble Sheen installed. When we add chemicals (acid, chlorine) how long should we let the pump run for? I have had it on continuously the first week but have now gone to a regular pump schedule. We do add the chemicals at separate times. Just need to...

    New Pebble Sheen and start up NOW

    Thank you! Just a question on why you would not pre-dilute. I have never pre-diluted acid in my plaster pool but the Pebble Tec start up says to pre-dilute. Just wondering what the pro's and con's are. Thank you again!

    New Pebble Sheen and start up NOW

    Hi - Just had new Pebble Sheen installed. The manufacturers start up procedure says to lower the TA to 80 - 100 (ours is currently at 120) before lowering the PH. Our PH is off the charts and cannot be measured. I used Pool Math to see how much acid I should add to lower the TA but it doesn't...

We redid the plaster 10 years ago but is there anything different to Pebble Sheen that I should be looking for during their installation and water set up? We are using an authorized Pebble Tec installer recommended...

    Pebble Tec vs. Plaster

    Hi all - We have hard water and our calcium hardness rises quickly. In the 10 years we have had the plaster installed we have only drained the pool 2 or 3 times to lower the calcium level. I suspect that is a main culprit of the staining (which has really only happened the last few years when I...

    Pebble Tec vs. Plaster

    Thank you for all the responses. My friend has pebble tec in arctic white in a smooth finish (she couldn't remember what it was called). Does anyone know if a white pebble tec resists staining better than a white strictly plaster finish?

    Pebble Tec vs. Plaster

    We are getting ready to redo our pool. We are leaning towards pebble tec instead of plaster this time. I was never happy that the plaster didn't stay pristine white. I think a colored pebble tec will staying looking good longer. What should I look for in pebble tec? Does it have to be the...

    Hayward Aqua Rite - New circuit board but some display values have changed

    Hello ... I am currently using a Hayward Aqua Rite salt water generator. Today I had to replace the circuit board, which went fine. I did not replace the actual display module as I was advised that was probably ok. However, now that it's installed, some of the display values are...
