    decraesing alkalinity without decreasing pH

    Thanks Jason, it,s been 5 or 6 years since I built our pool and we have enjoyed it thanks to TFP, this was something I forgot and now remember why I made that fountain from PVC pipe. Pool is finally up to my comfort temp level and soon the numbers will be perfect! Thanks

    someplace to buy a DIY pool kit

    We live close to the 45 parallel and many cool nights in spring and fall but still warm days when we would like to jump in! It just takes way to long to raise the temp of the pool i think i need a 300,000 btu heater to get the pool were i what it and then let the heat pump keep it there as long...

    someplace to buy a DIY pool kit

    fter much looking around i purchased from a local pool installer, he delivered to my home and i got everything i wanted including some tips on the install. Very happy with our pool except for the heat pump, still looking for a propane heater to replace it

    What would you do differently, if you could?

    as long as all suction and return lines have a valve you will have great control of everything, I would have liked a suction line for my vacuum instead of using the skimmer

    New Pool

    SWG and a timer would be a must if you will be away from your pool frequently, I can leave for a few days and not worry about my pool turning green :mrgreen:

    SWG operationg cost?

    Factor in my time @$$ pr hr. and the SWG WINS BIG TIME!! never tried the bleach way and maybe I'm now biased, we live 10 miles from town so just getting the stuff home would cost me time and fuel. I can spend more time poolside :cheers:
