Thanks, i appreciate that info, that may be a deal breaker for us. We can have some swings in temps here that sometimes make the difference between rushing home and meh.... I'll swim tomorrow. If I could tie the in demand temp to monitoring a few chems, I was just about to jump in.

Ice shadow, can you tell me if the temp is only read once a day (when everything else is tested) or can you see the temp throughout the day?

I've used the non phone version of the Ambient thermometer - it does transmit to a receiver in the house, but no phone app. I've had to replace the thermometer every season or two as it start to break down between the sun, water, chlorine, and salt. It seems to snug up against the wall and not...

Yeah, a larger patch was kinda what I was figuring also, but in my haste to patch this when it happened (it was cold and I was worried that the gash would allow water to start washing sand out from under the cut, and also really frustrated 😄), I cut the patch larger than I really needed, so...

I'm curious also. I've got a SWCG and my water stays so clear and sparkly so effortlessly, I tend to fall off my testing. 😬 I realize this isn't ideal, but I've gotten lazy. Thought maybe something like this might help. Generally my pH is the one that swings (high), so it would be nice to...

I've got a patch that's been on a couple of years (same age as the liner thanks to an umbrella base tipping and falling in 🤬) that is starting to come up on a couple of edges. Is there any way to use adhesive to reattach those edges? I used a piece of the liner and probably boxer 100 adhesive...

Thanks for all the information and discussion, it's helpful as I try to sort through this. So, with a 2 speed pump and the control unit of the AutoPilot Total Control system, the pump would actually run all the time, correct? Would run at high speed for any programmed time and then drop down...

I apologize if this information is already in the forum somewhere, I don't seem to be hitting upon the correct combination of words to find it if so. We have been running an autopilot SWCG with a 1HP Pentair Superflo (single speed) pump. Pool is about 28-30,000 gallons and we use the SWCG...

Thanks for your responses, Alvaro! I still like the idea, based on the fact that I tend to test pH and chlorine much more often than I test CYA, and more often than I test alkalinity depending on different factors. While I realize there are limitations with ORP, I also think it would be...

I saw the "treatment" recommendations - of course, not everyone has found TroubleFreePool! :) One of my concerns would be the longevity of the pH sensor (along with calibration), pair that with the limitations of ORP, and I'm skeptical. It seems in the past when I've looked into the pH...

Just curious if anyone has seen this - Drop: the smart pool monitor by Drop Designs Inc. Kickstarter I am hoping to see more conversation (via the comments section) on this as it moves along in the campaign and am trying to put together some questions I have regarding this device as well. I...

Interesting, I guess that never crossed my mind because it's such a small opening. I thought a pressure side cleaner would need more pressure than this. I'm guessing the opening is around 5/8" and doesn't seem to have that a great deal of pressure. I've attached a photo I happened to have...

FrustratedPoolMom, the outlet is actually higher than other returns, and I believe has it's own valve back at the pump station, so it can be turned off and on independently. At least that's how I have it in my head, will need to double check that later. Mac1775, I don't actually have an...

There is only one hole - interesting that you have so many. I've poked around online and just haven't turned up anything that would seem to fit this - so you may be right - something proprietary and probably out of date. I was hoping it was maybe a spa/hot tub fitting but I've not had much...
