Thanks @JamesW for the information. I've got them coming out on Thursday to figure out why the water feature pump doesn't work anymore. I may have them move it over to another Aux or have them add some power wires from Aux 2 to the blower so that it will run on the 30 min timed cycle or...

I'm having a problem with the blower that goes to my spa. The problem is, it shuts down every 30 min. I was told this is normal operating procedure but I wanted to check if I could do something about it. It's not broken, I just hit the button again and it starts up again. It's just annoying...

My apologies, when I was looking through my logs on Pool math, I noticed that I had quoted you the CC reading from Saturday and not the one I took yesterday. Saturday's CC reading was 1.0 and yesterday's was .6 so it was going down. Should I still perform the OCLT? If not I assume its ok to...

So, i've been testing my water every 3 days since it was finished, I've subscribed to pool math and I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Also, I had an idea and wanted to run it by the guru's to insure I'm not out of my mind. In my tests today I got the following: FC: 8.6 CC...

So, i've been looking for Thanks, I bought the additional test as well. Still waiting on it to get here. I have tested my water and it says my TA and my PH are a bit high and I could use some Muriatic acid. I went to the Lowes website to see what they had and they have a 20Baume but says...

Also, when you say dry stabilizer, what do you mean? CYA?

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I was pretty sure that this info was already covered, but when I went looking for it...as luck would have it I couldn't find it. I've also fixed my signature :) (I hope)

Title pretty much says it all. I had my pool startup and pool school today. They added the salt (21k gallons) and did all the things. I've got a chart here that the pool company gave me with a list of chemicals to add when something happens, though i'll be using Pool Math to be honest. My...

I'll add more pictures here in a little bit. We finally got our decking. Took a while to get in due to the never ending rain we got here in TX. I could have sworn I saw Noah float by one day, I was kind of sad I wasn't on his Ark *sigh*. Got the fence issue resolved, i'll go ahead and claim...

Yes, that's right folks, VICTORY IS MINE!!! I have legal insurance through my employer as part of my benefits and city codes/ordinances is part of what is covered 100% so I contacted them. The attorney that I contacted is a sitting councilman in a neighboring city and said he wouldn't take...

So, as an update to this, I did some internet sleuthing and none of the other cities in my local area are strict by the book. Many of them already have exceptions to the rule if its a 6ft or taller fence indicating the horizontal cross members can be on either side of the fence. That said, I...

LOL, I asked the city about that and they said no already :(

Back to the fence issue which was the point of this thread, I was reading up on the laws and fine details of the swimming pool code for 2018 and one thing stood out to me and thought it was an oversight. 1. The fence has to be at least 48" and built such that a sphere of 4" cannot pass through...

That's a thought, would be cheaper than a fence...i'll need to calculate the number of pickets and see if they'd be willing to do so.

There are 3 horizontal members. One at the bottom, one in the middle, and one at the top about 8" from the top. There's about 24" between all three horizontal members and the fence itself is 6'.
