If you have his number/info ask him for a copy

Don’t forget to use polyquat 60 before letting fc drop below minimum so you don’t risk algae whilst you go through the aa process 🤞

Open it up and make sure its a new cell - not one someone swapped out or something. The box looks to have been opened. If it passes the sniff test its a good deal! An intellichlor dummy is $75 lol 😂

Couple questions…. Have you scrubbed every nook and cranny? Inside light niches, drains, ladders (inside and out), flushing water features daily etc. what type of filter do you have? & what media are you using? Also, while vacuuming to waste every time isn’t necessary during slam it can be...

This is good news! Did he give you any kind of paper that says this?

One of my family members made one out of multiple mesh tarps sewn together. She’s very happy with the result considering she had no cover at all before & leaves were a nightmare. It is a freeform pool with a rock waterfall and a custom safety cover was going to cost $$$ and need to have anchors...

If the total Br level is above 10ppm you can use hydrogen peroxide to lower it.

You cannot differentiate between bromine and fc by testing unfortunately which is why I suggested only using 99% sodium bromide to ensure you know the exact amount of your bromide bank and that all the chlorine is being converted. I would imagine that at least some of what you are testing is...

Yes- on an above ground pool this easy. Just something to think about in advance. You wouldn’t believe how many posts we see where there’s no plumbed way to drain water & the op doesn’t own a submersible pump but the flood is happening. Many people assume this is a built in feature of all pools...

You can certainly turn a chlorine tub into a bromine tub without a water exchange as the chlorine will be converted to bromine which will be the active sanitizer. But You cannot go back to chlorine as your sanitizer without a water exchange. Whether you trust the water to be clean is up to you...

An appropriately oversized cart would generally need cleaning once per season (barring some algae issue) My decently sized sand filter needs backwashing maybe 5 times per season? Sometimes it’s simply because I need to drain water so I backwash during the process so its not a total waste. The...

Getting everything at 1 place is certainly simpler. If you can afford it go for it. The calimar & circupool vsp pumps are cousins - w/circupool you are paying for the warranty. Calimar/Circupool/BD/Blue Torrent Pump - Further Reading Getting a rebate is nice be sure to figure it in the overall...

Have you considered a salt water chlorine generator? No more jug lugging. With a vsp its even better- you can set the pump & swg on lower settings and run around the clock for very little $. This allows you to always be filtering, skimming, & chlorinating. I also use a swcg for my hot tub. Its...

Many unfortunately are not all the time. Lots of commercial tubs that are indoors use bromine or they have a chlorine injection system. When planning to use the tub open her up a few minutes in advance to air it out some & help alleviate that trapped cc smell. If you feed it enough fc...

Tabs are acidic- liquid chlorine and a swcg do not have this acidic effect so this may happen either way when tabs are out of the picture. There are several ways to help mitigate ph rise frequency if this becomes the case for you including lowering Ta, adding borates, & reducing water features...

This question needs some clarification. Are you trying to modify a pool (not recommended) or fit a new pool into a space designed for a different size pool? Pics would help.

1 less variable! *Note that the higher the fc the faster the decay rate. So don’t be super alarmed about it dropping seemingly quickly from slam fc levels. Were you able to do an ? Other than the smells & high fc demand is the water looking good & clear? Any other “symptoms” ?

When your Hayward warranty replacement comes sell the system and recoup some of your $. Ebay is a great option. Glad your install went smoothly!

We’re super excited for ya’ll!!

Generally a spa won’t quite pass an like a pool but the loss shouldn’t be extreme. Hopefully several rounds of slam level will help things come around some. With having a tub that sat for a long time like yours you may just have to deal with the increased fc demand until you can purge again...

after doing the diluted cya test to confirm your actual cya level follow the with liquid chlorine until you can replace some of your water with fresh to get your cya down. If you keep your tub quite hot 100+ F you may lose a little cya via degradation but not much. If you have a problem-...

Not saying there aren’t simply some smells that are imbedded in the spa’s materials that may honestly never fully go away but… The majority of smells are likely from too little fc not too much. Be sure to let the tub “air out” after use & dosing to allow any cc’s created to escape. Being...

Just noticed this - not sure when this update occurred but it’s great 👍🏻 & i usually hate the notifications lol 😂

You can edit the current 1 log that’s there. Hit time line then click on the log entry. The free version used to simply replace your last log with the newest one - I guess it doesn’t do that anymore. It’s been many years since I was using the free version

The circupool models don’t have any stipulations for who installs them. The warranty is the warranty. Pentair, hayward & jandy have the stipulations according to which line you purchase etc. if you can do the vsp you can run basically around the clock at a low rpm and also run the swcg at the...

Used to only be $12!! It was my go to for the longest.
