    Pipes burst even with freeze Protection on

    That really stinks. Was the pad tarped or blanketed? Just curious

    Digging out a buried pool

    I seem to recall previous folks who dug out their pool had issues finding builders wanting to even touch a pool that was previously buried. You may want to consider looking at builders around your area who would be interested to help with the remodel before going further. Last thing you want...

    Aquapure Randomly works...

    As mentioned, this is common - mine does this every so often (disappear from the app status list) however it is always working when I check the box directly. Power cycling just the aqualink breaker always solves it.

    Sodium Hypochlorite instead of bleach….

    Agree with all of this as well; bleach is generally confusing without the added explanation of what kind of bleach etc

    (The Woodlands, TX) Area Contemporary Build - Jan 2023

    Yep makes sense. I think the whole PDA/RS difference is just ridiculously confusing and wish they’d just release a single comprehensive system to simplify things.

    (The Woodlands, TX) Area Contemporary Build - Jan 2023

    The main difference is the PDA system will only allow on/off functionality from your mobile device. Any and all scheduling or setup will require the physical PDA to setup. RS will allow full access to the web interface from the mobile app so you can control and setup everything and don’t need...

    (The Woodlands, TX) Area Contemporary Build - Jan 2023

    This was my builder too - they made a lot of big mistakes but they did get things addressed to how I wanted them. That said, keep a close eye on their plumbers and electricians. They have a couple of crews, one was way better than the other while the other was just sloppy and caused our issues...

    Strange goo in filter

    I’ve had the same goop in the exact same spot in my filter - not a lot but definitely some. Always assumed it was rust as it only exists on that surrounding stainless collar; no where else.

    Heater Gas Smell

    Any gas regulators close to the heater? Those tend to vent at times which I’ve noticed sporadic gas smells as well.

    So it happened. Raccoon visit...

    Get a trap and relocate it; it’s what I do. If you have trash cans outside, make sure to strap the lids down as well so they’re not attracted to your property.

    Info and Advice on Tankless Water Heaters

    Do all tankless water heaters require electricity? In the time we‘ve had extended outages, I was always thankful to have hot water. Mine are at the 7-8 yr mark so hopefully have a few years before i need to replace

    Updated Equipment Pad Critique Requested

    My thought is there’s a ton of leverage following the SWG and back. I would have swept that run to ride the floor of the pad and back up to the heater. As it stands, youll want a support piece to hold that side up.

    Are travertine pavers supposed to look like this?

    White ones appear to be from another color set imo. Place blue tape on all the ones you want replaced by the builder; should not be an issue. I was really picky and got rid of many of the pitted ones that didn’t match the others well enough.

    Pebble Sheen Blue Surf Pre Water - Does this look right?

    Agree with others - this looks good and was very similar to my blue surf. Once filled you‘ll never notice
