:goodjob: :goodjob: two thumbs up. Very nice coping and pavers. John.

Re: Recommendations for Company to use to Purchase DIY IG po I can recommend Royal Swimming Pools in Memphis: http://www.royalswimmingpools.com/ Good product, good price, good people. :goodjob: I dealt with Johnny and he was very helpful answering all my newbie questions. I later found...

Aeromorris05, wow $4/ft concrete is a good deal. I would not ever mow any grass again for that, just color it green. :mrgreen: On the Colorlogic issue, I believe the light placement and the color of the liner have the most bearing on whether or not you need two. We had a dark liner and a...

Hi, not to hijack this thread but Tatertot, from what I've heard you do not want to let your pool get up to the liner track. It will probably float the liner, which will cause many problems as you can imagine. Does your pool have any overflow drains? If not now would be a good time to backwash...

I'm not familiar with "bleached out". What was odd to me was that last night when I put the powder in it did not turn to pink at all, just stayed clear. This morning when I added the powder it was as pink as I have ever seen. And it turned pink right as the granules hit the water. The...

That makes good sense. Thank you all for the replies. John

I'm in the shock process due to recent downpours (with low FC in a SWG pool). Q1 When you start the shock process should you add all the chlorine you can even if it doesn't get you to the shock level? i.e. if you need 6 gal but only have a couple of gallons available until the next day. Is any...

Update one, testing again this morning with the FAS/DPD it shows a correct indication of 26 ppm FC and a CC of 1. My guess is that when I tested last night, (3 hours after adding the bleach), I must have pulled the test water from a circulation dead spot and the chlorine had not had time to...

In the last few days we had some thunderstorms with a few inches of rain. Afterward I noticed our pool was cloudy with a hint of green. Using my TF-100 test kit, when I added the DPD powder to the pool water it did not turn pink at all. Knowing no FC means shock the pool, we made a chlorine run...

Re: New Build in Red Stick- **pic heavy** 11-26 update :nopic: or is this "What happens in Baton Rouge stays in Baton Rouge"? Glad you are getting your well earned enjoyment from all your hard work! John

Over the years I have seen some very good forums get taken over by people with big egos and offensive comments. Because of the great people that moderate this forum, it is by far the best run and most helpful I have ever seen. Thank you very much to Dave, Jason all the Mod Squad. You make this...

I agree, higher suction is better, it acts more like a "dispose-all", chomping up the leaves. As far as getting air in the line at high suction levels, I think you can blame the MX-8 hose design. It is not totally leak proof. If I pick up the hose I can hear some air getting in. At normal...

Could it possibly be your freeze protection turning on or malfunctioning? From the Goldline manual; There are several reasons the filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclock period setting. These include super-chlorination, spa operation, manual operation, heater cooldown...

Re: New Build in Red Stick- **pic heavy** 11-26 update Judging from what we all knew this is probably about the best outcome that I could have expected. I was worried that you were jackhammering the whole pour...or were in court? It is truly a shame that "so called" professionals would let...
