Thanks, I'll give that one a shot

Both of those are cheap plastic and have nylon bristles. Looking for a heavy duty wire brush.

Anyone have a source for something like this? I have tons of corners in my pool with gunk buildup that regular brushes can't hit. Even the long curved ones don't help, because you can't force any pressure on the corner of the brush with out breaking it. Just looking for a short one, like this...

Hoping to get some input here. For 3.5 years (since it was built), my pump has been running on the same preset % and times that the builder set. I can't get them on the phone anymore to ask why those times/% were picked. I have friends and neighbors with pools that say my run times/% are...

I'm having the same issue with my 3.5 year old Z5. Did replacing the tracks (or anything else) help with the wall climbing?

I did a full clean/acid wash of the filters and salt cell today. I've been running the pump on high for 6 hours and the salt level now shows 3200....up from 2200 this morning. Oh well, at least it's generating again and I don't have to go buy bleach tonight. We'll see how long this lasts.

Yep, gonna do that tomorrow. Luckily, the T-15 has a 3 year warranty, so my pool co. has to replace it. They really hate me. They had to replace the pump after 1.2 years and now this. Guess I'll be dumping in bleach for a couple of weeks.

I've done the Taylor test twice and followed the instructions to a T. The cell is a Hayward T-15, installed in August 2015.

So the salt readout is showing 2400 and I'm getting warning flashes. It was also low in April, so I added a few bags with no change to the reading. I cleaned the filters and acid washed the cell. Once it was powered back up, the reading showed 4900! So I left it alone, but every other day I'd...

Thanks, that's probably it. My water temp is between 50-60 most days. I didn't realize the SWG stopped producing chlorine at a certain temp. Can you adjust the temp threshold? I really don't want to go back to dumping bleach in the pool every other day.

The initial salt pour was about 4 months ago and the pool is 5 months old. 26,500 gallons. The chlorine levels keep dropping to near nothing. I've turned the SWG system dial up from 50% to 60, then 70, then 80. I get higher chlorine levels for a few days, then it drops to nothing again. Do I...

I'm really tired of scooping out 10 pounds of leaves every day so I need a cover for my new pool. Anyone have a good rec for a decently priced source? I see that Leslie's has a big selection, but their prices don't look all that great and I'd rather buy online and save on tax. I really don't...

I have Primera Stone Sky Blue Treasure and it was a $5k upgrade.

Need to get some and have no idea what the markup is at the local pool stores (but I'm sure it's there). In Austin , BTW

They have agreed to fix every problem I've found and I can tell they're losing money on this job. They're ok by me.
