Excellent. No don’t have a manual but am pondering that. Will use the cartridges and clean them out after. Supposed to rain for the next couple days so planning my attack with that in the mix too

I’ve got some persistent CC and didn’t pass the OCLT so here we go! Don’t see any green, no visible signs, but the OCLT tells me it’s there… I’ve read all the guidelines and feel comfortable enough with the process. I’ve had my eye on a wall whale and a corner brush so those are on the way...

I read all the new content so I know what’s in these forums when I need them. Came here for knowledge and confirmation. Got poetry. Bravo @Newdude

Hello small friend!

Hey all, my sun shelf has a round return in the floor that causes a whirlpool on the surface that traps debris and pollen. Was thinking that if I could make the return flow asymmetrical it might disrupt the trap and let this stuff make it to the skimmer. Any ideas how or cautions against? As...

Believe me my daughter and wife would KILL for pics or videos. If they existed they would be out there for all to see.

Hey all, just to share as unfortunately the camera wasn't recording at the time. I looked out the other day while Mr. Flowboto, our Polaris pressure side cleaner, was running. A big ripple was on the surface everywhere he went, and when I looked, I must not have gotten the bag on tight as it...

This is amazing work! I’m resisting getting a 3D printer because I can feel the rabbit hole pulling me downward and my wife killing me, but have done some modeling work in the past and just wanted to say awesome work and congrats on seeing a thing in your brain and making it a real thing in...

Recently when the pump is off and I start it up I hear this squeak. Pump is only 8 months old. Any ideas what it might be, how to fix or get it fixed?

Took another confident step and pulled some stuff apart for the first time. Had a Jandy check valve that had some pine needles stuck in it so pulled that off and got it all cleaned up. Pulled the salt cell and looked for any scaling but didn’t see any so said some nice things to it and put it...

The above replies are from people much more experienced and knowledgeable than I, but I’ll add that I was you two summers ago. Had an above ground and was pool stored: testing with strips or their testing service and buying more and more chemicals and getting worse and worse results as I went...

Welcome and congrats and congrats! My advice (about 8 months in and really feeling in control on my pool) is to commit to this technique. Reading these forums and also from my own experience, the successful ones are who really buy in and don’t half-(way) it by being here but also pool store...

Blew away all the pollen and made sure my levels were in the sweet spot. Heated the pool and spa. My daughter and her besties are all chattering and screaming and laughing and swimming and being teenage idiots. Taylor Swift is blaring. It’s a good day in the back yard.

Ahh I’m in dark mode so when I set my signature it looks white to me. Will fix.
