    Start Up after acid wash questions

    We are just about to perform our first acid wash and tile cleaning. The Pool is about 12 years old and it was probably needed a couple of year ago. Here is a link to my Build Thread if anyone is interested...

    A friend came over and took some video from his Drone

    The only sound is the noise from the rotors and the wind, so turn that way down. The video is full 1080P, but for some reason it only uploaded 720P to Youtube. I'll see if I can fix that later. Make sure the quality is set to 720P (its the little gear in the bottom grey bar). Near the middle...

    I think I found the problem

    My Chlorine has been disappearing quickly over the last couple weeks. All the other levels are ok and I added CYA to about 50. I think I cleaned the filter in March. The PB thought I would only need to clean the filters 2 times a year. I figured I'd check it out today and see how they...

    Can I use the Pool Calculator to calculate pool volume?

    I never had been able to get a "good" number for the volume of my pool. The PB came up with 1 number, I used an online calculator and it came up with another number. I've been doing most of the chemical balance based on 25,000 Gal. And most of the time it works out fine. I had a very low FC...

    Determine Aqualink Rev level for conversion to iAqualink

    I have a 2 year old Jandy PDA 6. Jandy/Zodiac shows two different "Upgrade" kits. The iQ900-RS and the iQ900-PDA. My pool guy says that the RS unit is the one I want. Is there a difference between the two? Pool guy quotes about $800 installed, which seems like a total ripoff considering...

    New Pool Under Construction - Riverside CA

    I'm happy with the Firemagic Equipment, TOP quality, but it is very expensive. My Grill is a 50" Elite, I don't think they make this specific model any more. It has held up very well over the last 5+ years and cleaned up very well after a lot of neglect. But I don't think I will ever get my...

    I've been a bad/lazy pool owner

    The water was clear the whole time. There was minimal stuff kicked up when I brushed today too.
