thank you for quick reply! Good point on just installing and not running. I plan on spray painting as well. I was waiting a bit for the dirt to pack down good, clean pvc and spray. I’m only hesitant to due to having to clean paint of pvc if I have to do a pvc repair etc

So I recently completed my plumbing for my pool and installed the flow switch and cell in-line for a RJ30 SWG. Should I wait until spring to install/connect the controller?? I’m in south Louisiana and it doesn’t get real cold but we are entering our coldest part of winter. I am adding liq...

I started adding the required stabilizer around 10 am yesterday using the sock method squeezing it after an hour of soaking until it was dissolved.

Ok latest test looks better now FC = 5.8 PH = 7.4 TA = 110 CYA = 40

I believe my testing is suspect as well…😬 Will retest this morning, I did add more chlorine yesterday evening though.

Latest test results are interesting FC = 1.2 CYA= 55 PH = 7.4 TA = 13 I put in the recommended amount of stabilizer about 4 hrs ago. Also added a jug of chlorine. Says I need to add three jugs now.

I have some chlorine jugs, will add now. I am not adding the SWG until after a patio addition. Going to move pump and filter and bury lines for final location, so I will be adding liq chlorine for a few weeks. Thank you for your help!

After further reviewing my install instructions it does say pavers are recommended but not necessary. I spoke with him for awhile and I feel comfortable with his assessment of my soil as a base. I asked him how many pools he has installed...he said about 2000. I said ok its in your hands. He...

Really appreciate the responses. CJ one of the other issues I have is he said he only uses about an 1 1/2" of sand on his installs, he said to order 5 yds of sand for a 24'. Instructions for pool recommends 3". I ordered the foam coves so no need for sand there. I'm at a loss here, I have a...

Greetings! New to the forum due to the fact I am having a pool installed at this very moment. During my initial conversation with my pool installer, I asked about patio stones under the pool legs. He said he typically does not use them. He claimed depending on how the bottom of the leg “sits”...
