Bear in mind that CYA requirements can also vary by location, and some of the things here are suggestions that must be tailored to an individual pool. It's a balancing act - when your CYA gets too high, you will have trouble maintaining a high enough chlorine level to be effective. And if it's...

This thread subject line certainly grabbed my attention. If you have actually managed to get water to be un-level, you've really got something! BTW, the quick way to check a bubble level for accuracy is to set it on some surface and look at the bubble position, then turn the level around 180* in...

Yep. Every BBB convert here has this happen eventually. Welcome to the club.

Speaking generally, you should lose none at night, so your total loss should happen during the daytime. Measure the actual drop during the day. That should tell you how much you will need to compensate.

A little outlet tester like this one is REAL handy to have lying around. [attachment=0:3rcvp7gn]outlettester.jpg[/attachment:3rcvp7gn]

If the speakers are wired in parallel, the resistance (actually, impedence, since it is an AC circuit, but I digress) will be lower than 8 ohms. The resistance of two 8 ohm speakers in parallel is 4 ohms, three parallelled would be 2.666 ohms, and six 8 ohm speakers in parallel would be 1.33...

psiflow purchased the app from Jason some time back, and while they indicated early on that they might keep it up, they seem to have just abandoned it. Jason cannot do anything with it anymore, as it belongs to someone else. From page 3 or so of this thread:

Sometimes, suction leaks can be found using running water from a garden hose. Let the water flow onto suspected areas, and watch the bubbles. If the bubbles stop, you're flooding the leaking area with water.

Re: Awwww ****.... lightning? Glad to hear it's all good again. So.. now you wanna know WHY you read 120V on each leg to ground when one leg was obviously dead, huh? It's because the voltage from one breaker travels to the motor, through the motor windings, and back on the other wire, where it...

Samantha, she is fresh out of college (suma cum laude @ Savannah College of Art and Design in sequential arts). She got this idea during her senior year, and she's running with it. She puts a lot of work and heart into the site and each comic, and we're very proud of her.

Re: Deck is finished and the pool has been great for 2 years Wow, that is so super-nice. Where'd you say you lived again? <gets AAA map>

No, that came from XboxLive, and I photoshopped it into a pic from a former client's rooftop.
