    Snow and Ice in Charlotte, NC

    Pool built last year Freeze protection has been running Few Qs - when both pumps run, I am showing zero filter pressure. Is this because the dial needle could be frozen ? - we have had random power blips so expect power to go off with continued ice storms. What do you do when you have a...

    First Winter with the pool - North Carolina

    Super helpful Thank you Instead of just waiting for the cell to turn off due to low temps; is it smarter to just turn the output to 0% (essentially turning it off), and then just maintain with liquid chlorine until Spring ? Just leave the SWG cell connected right, don’t need to physically...

    First Winter with the pool - North Carolina

    This site has been amazing - loads of help Haven’t been on in awhile, work got busy. For the most part pool is holding up really well here in Charlotte, NC, minus dealing with the leaves but have a routine now and isn’t so bad. Love my M600 as it does a good job most of the time. Few...

    leaves, leaves ….. should I increase my SWG in advance ?

    Fall is here in NC @Newdude few questions: FC: tested it today and it was 12FC (24 drops). My SWG is set to 30% output and the pump is running 7a-9m Is an FC that high OK, or should I drop down to 20% and reduce the pump cycle time to like 7a-4p ? reason I like the pump running is skimming...

    I planned to do that 100% as the skimmers really are effective at pulling the debris into the basket I’ll keep ya posted !

    Anyone use the Skimeeze or PoolSkim product to help control leaves ??

    Got it Just trying to buy some time inbetween checking the skimmer baskets as they can get clogged up quickly appreciate the input

    leaves, leaves ….. should I increase my SWG in advance ?

    Yeah, I bet you enjoy the new open space. I’ll see how this Fall goes. The only positve is if you recall our pool is slightly elevated about 18” out of the ground and hoping that blocks the stuff that blows around low and only catch leaves that fall from directly above. How many that ends of...

    Haven’t talked with ya in awhile.Hope you and the family have had a good summer. We’ve enjoyed the pool especially on these hot days. Had 40 people over Sat, our first real event and things went well wow, that’s a crazy amount of Oaks. We live on a wooded lot so a combo of many trees 100’ tall...

    Leaves are already starting to fall heavy here in Charlotte. Think it’s more about the mid 90’s heatwave and trees dropping vs Fall at the moment. So I would say now through early Nov on/off I imagine I monitor FC daily most days and will monitor …. Just wasn’t sure if I should plan in advance
