Thanks for the help!

Is there a mechanism to download a multi-page conversation I'm involved in? It would be nice to have a PDF containing an entire conversation. I could of course do a Print to PDF of each page, and then combine them in my PDF editing software, but that all feels a bit rudimentary. Just want to see...

My situation is a complete mess right now, and I'm truly at a loss. It's been years of frustration with pool contractors, and the nightmare just keeps going. I'll skip most of the backstory, but essentially a second pool builder finished my project in early 2023, handling only the plastering...

Yes it's sand. It's reddish in color. Been getting this stuff since my pool opened in 2023. It builds up pretty heavily on the benches, steps, and tanning ledge on my pool. I typically brush it off into the main pool area to be vacuumed.

My last cleaning was June 23, 2024. So about 8 months? No idea where the sand is coming from. My lawn might be dusty/dry; I'm not sure. No flagstone. Decking is all travertine pavers.

And this is the cause of the water level in the pump basket being lower than I'm used to? Yes, it blows into the pool and accumulates. It gets picked up by the pool cleaner, it builds up at the bottom of the skimmers below the baskets, and it accumulates heavily in the cartridge filters. This...

I'm dealing with a few pool maintenance concerns and would appreciate some insight from the community. My cartridge filter PSI is currently at 18 (at 2500 RPM), which is higher than my usual cleaning threshold of 14-15. The lowest I've recorded is 11. Given it's winter, I'm hesitant to clean...

Thank you, and I'm sorry for the continued questions. I'm a real idiot when it comes to this stuff. I've never had to buy cement epoxy before. Is it something like this at Lowes? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Gorilla-Epoxy-Clear-Epoxy-Adhesive/5002785627 There's also JB Weld but it doesn't...

I assume you mean collectively? I don't know if there's a solid cubic inch I could cut out. But I'm guessing you just mean all the pieces should add together to form about two cubic inches. That seems like a lot of plaster, and I don't know how deep the actual plaster itself is before I hit the...

@onBalance do you have the name of the concrete lab I can send a sample to? I don't remember if you provided that. I think I want to go ahead and get that started. I'll also need to know how to sample the plaster. I remember you said to unscrew and remove the drain cover. Do I use a chisel to...

Small update. Still struggling with the pool builder on the scheduling side of things, they are taking forever. I did have one PM come by to tell me that he recommended an acid wash, to which I responded by saying that if the issue is structural, this won't get rid of the cracks, and I suspect...

This makes me really wish Pool Math was better about showing historical data. The lack of filtering makes it a really tedious effort.

I figured it's good to get ahead of any issues and that if it stops working, that's too late?

Thanks everyone. I like the idea of checking it when the filters are cleaned and also keeping it on a task list / calendar.

I don't think I have such a convenience with Jandy
