Mhosborn, you are correct. When I originally created the list (about a month ago), the S-line was brand new and I thought it was going to be too expensive. When I posted this (and made my purchase), I didn't even go back and consider it. That being said... I haven't opened my M500 yet, so I...

Hopefully that is better. The best method I came up with was to take a screen shot and post that pic plus add the text below. Hopefully that shows cleanly enough now.

I saw that Patrick. Some of your past posts helped guide me this direction. I'm not sure how clean the picture I just posted shows, but the M5 has the most yellow down the middle. Do you find yourself using the remote features often? Or... often enough to pay an extra $200?

Hi all. I've been trying to find the right cleaner for my new pool and have had a hard time understanding what was what. I've decided to share some of what I have found on here for others to reference. First off, Maytronics is one of the biggest robot manufacturers. As I understand it, they...

Fantastic! Thanks Tim. I had not realized that. I'm going to get my FC up to 10+ to give it a little shock and pick up a bottle of clarifier to see if I want to use it later. I'll let the chlorine run for 24 hours first.

Test kit is TF100 with Speed Stir. I guess I didn't include that in my signature. I will add it. Tim, I have 40 as the goal on CYA coming from 0. It says to add 123oz by weight. That is ~8#. I picked 40 because the pool math calculator suggests 30-50, so I figured I would target in the middle...

Richard, target was CYA. Pool math suggested adding 8# of stabilizer. I could only get 2# in each of 2 socks, so I will be adding the other 4 over the next week as I continue to test. I added 2 gallons of liquid chlorine at the onset of the clouds. It took my FC from 0 to 7 in a hurry. I have...

Hi all. I have be a brand new IG gunite pool. We got water in a week ago and I've been brushing and everything to get it ready for swimming. About 3 days ago, we received a ton of rain in the Houston area which turned my water cloudy. To this point, we had no chlorine in the pool due to startup...

Ok. We completed our fill on 6/12. Initial readings on 6/13 were: PH 8.2 FC 0 CC .5 TC .5 CH 50 TA 310 CYA 0 Over the next 2 days, I have added 3 gallons of muriatic acid, 1 gallon of liquid chlorine and about 25# of Calcium Chloride. My new readings were: PH 7.2 FC 0 CC 0 TC 0 CH 225 TA 180...

Oz, I love it! I looked into some swim jet options before I finally gave up. In hindsight, I am sure this would have been a great investment. What kind of pumps did you end up using for the jets? VS? 1 or 2 speed? Also, whereabouts in Oz are you from? My wife and neighbors are both from Oz, so...

Thanks all! First test is in the bag. My tap water reads: 1.5 FC .5-1.0 CC 2-2.5 TC 50 CH 330 TA And my black dot never went away on CYA. Any thoughts?

Hello all! I am expecting my plaster crew to show up tomorrow to install my Wet Edge Satin Matrix product and will have acid wash on Thursday and we will begin filling the pool. (My pool build in in another thread.) I'm about to be a first time pool owner and have built this pool myself. I just...

I would stay on him. I had concrete poured on Friday and have my Wet Edge scheduled for tomorrow. I sent them a PO on 5/29 for the Wet Edge and I have the crew here about to start cleaning my pool. We are supposed to install tomorrow and acid wash on Thursday (when we start filling). Seems...
