Good info on the "kit" I am going to start calling around town tomorrow. Nate, its a 18x40 AGB any experience with anyone in the area?

Hi All, Does anyone have a recommendation for someone in the Raleigh NC area to help find leaks in a liner? I can see the ground wet on one side but have not been able to locate any holes or tears so I think I need to call in some help. I am doing the bucket test now but pretty sure that its...

Sure, Numbers are in line and have been All year Steal walled 18 x 40 Sentinelle AGP (Aqua Leader) Fc = 3.5 Tc =3.5 PH =7.5 Ta = 40 Cya = 65 Salt = 3100

hello all, I have a 1 year old salt water pool. we recently noticed that when we were standing in the pool the color was rubbing off below our feet. PH is about 7.5 FC is 3.5. any idea what might be going on and what I should do about it? Thanks

That question can start a war! :lol: I am a firm believer of the Egg, but any of the ceramic cookers are the way to go. If you are looking for a single piece of equipment that will do it all, slow quick, quick cook, anything in between they are hands down the best. They last forever (or...

Have you checked into the HDMX Jam speakers? http://www.amazon.com/HMDX-HX-P230GY-Bluetooth-Wireless-Blackberry/dp/B007R6HUFI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1372436392&sr=8-3&keywords=jam admittedly its completly low tech but they actually sound pretty good and you can get decent volume from them. If...

Thanks Jason, That's what I was thinking but wanted another opinion. The SWG is only a year old so I was thinking that it should be more accurate. I question the point of even using the test strips with that much difference.

My Hayward aquatrol rj shows a salt measurement of 2900 but when I test using salt test strips that shows a reading of 4020. I was expecting to see some differences between the two but not such a large number. Anyone have any thoughts of why such a large difference and which I should trust? I...

I'll second the Green Egg. I see that most are recommending gas grills and they are fine, but the OP didn't specify. The ceramic grills can easily do double duty as a smoker or Grill so if you ever do any smoking then remember that you are getting 2 for the price of one. My BGE will get to...

I fell like I need to add a couple of picks of my egg! And a little butt The egg is so nice year round!

Thanks aa62579. I miss read the pool calcs feed information on the TA thanks for catching that. Looks like I am OK at the moment there. My wife took a sample to the PG today and they suggested only adding Chlorine at the moment and not doing more until the SWG is up and running. What's the...

Thanks for the info! I was taking a shot with the dichlor and the that's the reason I asked. For some reason I was dichlor = stabilizer only. I now see that cyanuric acid = stabilizer. I will be reading pool school again, but now that I have to actually use it it will start making more...

Thanks. Is there something else that I should use instead of Dichlor or just add that and Dichlor and then check the Chlorine again in a few hours?

Hi all, The wife and I have just gotten our very first pool installed today and just gotten it hooked up. The Electrician does not get here until Monday so the SWG is not hooked up. The pump is up running through a temporary setup but is fine until then. The set up is 18X40X4 AGP (19500 gal)...

Just joined and I have been reading through the forums for a while and have already gotten some good advice from for some excellent folks out here. My first pool gets delivered in a couple of weeks so I am still reading through pool school and will be ordering my TF test kit shortly. Thanks...
