Think for simplicity of my mind is go ahead and get all chemicals where they need to be and just pull the plugs on all equipment while still warm and place some antifreeze water bottles in skimmers and shut the breaker off. Last major storm in 2020 we never lost power but ice built up so thick...

Thanks y’all. I have a very basic standard chlorine setup with basic zodiac panel. I did my normal pipe wrap insulation with a heat tape between the pvc and pipe wrap. I have a plastic “trash can” hider type fence all the way around equipment with a tarp over the top.

Hi all, What would you do? Located in Dallas/Fort worth and with temps coming slightly worried about losing power. We are going out of town Friday-Sunday for the holidays. Would you gamble and leave running or lower water below skimmers and drain equipment? I have never closed a pool down and...

Only way I found to relieve the noise was to turn rpm’s down enough on pump until the noise went away. It’s weird but i have it at a speed that one click up on rpm button the noise comes back.

I just don’t have an interlock switch installed and don’t want to back feed electricity. Pool pumps are wired in.

Have the generator, but do not have the breaker panel in house wired to be able to run off generator. I will be able to run heat tape off generator though.

Agreed, but one off event like last year happened as well. TX power grid is lovely sometimes. I do have equipment tarped, pipe wrap around pipes with a heating cable under if we have electricity. Looks like get above freeing everyday just have lows around 15 for a couple days. Just not in a...

Paranoid about upcoming week of temps here in Dallas/Fort Worth TX after last year. Only worried about the electricity failing again. Is their a soft closing for pools? Just thinking about draining below skimmer line, blowing out, and pulling plugs on all equipment. Only in 2 year of owning...

Have some freezing hitting at night for the next couple weeks. Not near like last year here in Tx. However, any thoughts on what my rpm should be set at overnight? The estar is set currently at 1,600rpm as I raised this from my normal use. To high/to low? 10k - 11k gallons VS speed pump and...

Test won’t be here till Tuesday next week. Appreciate the help. Heading to get the chlorine you mentioned right now. It’s a new build pool and they have been out like 7-8 times over 30 days testing and balancing pool. Just didn’t do the last one.

They have treated pool every week for the last month. They were supposed to treat at pool school the last time but did not. So 2 weeks since last treatment. 4 tests and result: 1)Chlroine residual = less then .03 2) PH test = 8.0 3) Acid demand test = add 2 pints acid 4) Total alkalinity = 90 ppm

I have read a few times the help learn guides on here. My pool has been up for a month and was managed by a pool company for a month. We had pool school last Friday but he didn’t add any chemicals before leaving. Assuming we are on our own now. I tested tonight and honestly not sure what to do...

Just had my new build pool filled. This is our first pool. We have two Jandy lighted bubblers on the tanning ledge and they make a “humming/moaning” type noise. When you turn pressure up it gets louder. Pool builder said that this is normal in lighted bubblers and also had another company doing...
