Hi Lawnie, Please take a look at my build thread. My pool was just finished this past November. However, the landscaping and outdoor kitchen are still a work in progress. My backyard is 67’ x 24’ and I was able to fit in a 12’ x 38’ pool with attached spa, outdoor kitchen and fire feature...

My PB had to redo my slope AFTER they had tiled. I ended up going with a 1 inch slope also. Here is the final result. you can still walk on it (although I wouldn't recommend it). But more importantly you can rest a beverage on it.

Hi Brian, Thank you for the advice. I will leave the CH as is and disable the ORP control in the IntelliChem. I am already working on bringing my pH down to 7.4. Is there a precedent of anyone falling asleep in their spa after Thanksgiving dinner? :lol:

Hi MK, I didn't see your post until after I had already raised my TA to 90 and attempted to increase my CH to 350. The CH of my fill water is only 100, and I forgot that I was raising the level of my pool because there was a previously resolved leak, where the IntelliChem tubing connects to my...

Hi Brian, For now I was able to turn off my IntelliChem. However, it was configured to control my IntelliChlor, so I will need to figure out how to "uncouple" them, when it's time to turn on my salt cell in a couple of weeks.

Hi Jim, Because I am configured for IntelliChem, my Chlorinator page looks different. I spoke to my PB today, and he said to uncheck IntelliChem and IntelliChlor in the ScreenLogic Configuration and I should be okay. So, that is what I am going to do, until I can add salt in a couple of...

Hi Kim, thanks for the suggestions. Pool Math has my CSI at .25, and says it "looks good", but I know it can be better. These are my numbers from this morning. I raised my TA this morning, and also increased my CH. I am slowly increasing my CYA, but my FC has been relatively stable, so I...

Now the hard part. Making sense of all these numbers. My pool has had water for exactly 14 days. On the 3rd day, they came and did an Acid Bath for my Quartzscape finish. On the 6th day, they told me to raise PH with sodium carbonate before turning on the equipment. (Thank goodness for...

Thanks Big Will!

Google street view hasn't updated my home since before I purchased it 4.5 years ago, so I would say they are way overdue. The google Earth satellite view is a little more up to date, only about 3 years old. However, since my pool build just started 5 months ago, there's nothing to see. But no...
