Has anyone ever found these nozzles in brass or copper? The plastic ones are so poorly designed

Is it possible to pressure test a pool's plumbing with disconnected equipment and an empty pool? I'm finally redoing the pool of my new house and realized it's not going to make much sense to test the lines after all the deck and pool work are finished. If it doesn't work right we have to tear...

Re: Which filter should I go with, Sand, Cartridge, or D.E.? Holy cow that's amazing. I am cleaning mine every two weeks.

I did rub a vitamin tablet on them, they lightened up but did not disappear at all. They are in deepest part of pool, so hard to access without jumping in

Has anyone used the following product? My pool store is recommending it for what I believe to be penny size metal stains http://www.eraseit.com/eraseit.com/fram ... center.htm

Let us know how it goes...would love to hear how mountain water works out.... I'm a city slicker

I feel like it soaks up chlorine and clouds up the water...it also soaks the cartridge filter in oil and makes it harder to clean

I do get a decent amount of rain...maybe have to drain 2-3 inches once a month for 3 months during rainy season.... The rest of my tests look pretty consistent since i took over the pool duties 2 weeks ago. FC hasnt been dropping drastically, even after 3 people took a swim on a really hot...

hmm that's strange...i think i might be doing the CYA test wrong....I see that black dot until the whole container is full! With over a year of pucks, it doesnt make sense that the CYA is so low.

thanks, i didnt know that tool was down there in the pool calculator. Rather than buying stabilizer, i figure i might as well use the pucks i already have. are there pucks that DONT add cya? My reason for asking is that my pool guy has been putting in pucks(different from the ones i have)...

Re: BBB for Beginners I like to take my cya up from 20 to 30...could I do this with pucks? Do we know the numerical effect pucks have on cya?

Bumping to see if someone can address my question above. Thanks

So from the reading I've done, is it accurately to conclude that the folks here highly recommend against the chlorine tablets in the floatie?

So none of you mix the MA in a bucket with pool water first? Pool store told me I had to do it this way...

My only experience is with an kreepy krauly great white I inherited and it seems to work fine, only issue is that it needs about 80% of my pump to work properly. Is it ok to leave the vac plugged in at all times? Will it damage the plaster?
