Scheduled! 😊

Did they fix under warranty or was it on you? BTW-I just got a Scuba Pro a couple months ago so haven’t really gotten to use it yet. Anxiously awaiting Spring to try it out. My purchase decision was partly due to your thread here and all the other pool robot threads on TFP-SO THANK YOU!

I'm over winter and ready to open pool.....Is it almost time yet?

It was quite cold but loads of fun! All persons who did it said they would do it again next year. My nephew and his wife want to do it next year too after seeing the video so maybe I did start a family New Years Day tradition:) I was the only male that did it as the other male's present...

So, I am the only one in my family with a pool, so I offered it up for a New Years Day Polar Plunge🥶. So far eight family and friends have taken us up on it and we are taking the dip at noon. I tested chemistry this morning and was happy to see my CL is 19ppm (made to slam level earlier )...

It was mid-50’s over weekend so I open up the auto cover and vacuumed out all the Dang worms that seem to find their way in!😡. Want it looking good for New Years Day-many family members coming over for a Polar Plunge!😳.

Thank you very much👍.

I struggle with worms too! Big night crawlers, red worms and 1” millipedes. My pool is at ground level and some how the darn things come in the crack where my auto cover meets the coping. Just last weekend it had warmed up enough to melt some ice and I cracked the cover open and vacuumed...

My pool has two Pentair MicroBrite pool lights with a single wall mounted on/of light switch. I would like to have a more easily controlled light rather than flipping the toggle switch a certain number of times to have the desired color. What are my options? Are there any remote control...

I will offer my thoughts on Auto-cover only as this is my first winter with the pool and am not well versed on the other subjects you mention. My PB really pushed the auto cover making sound like the best thing since sliced bread and the fact that we would not have to build a fence around...

So we got our new pool last year, however, did not get a pool heater at the time of installation. We are getting a Hayward 250BTU heater installed this spring by our PB. 1st question Is this the appropriate size heater for to 10,000-gallon FG pool? Also, how will having a heater effect...

Nothing special, but this one is ours!

I wish I would learn to leave "well enough alone":sick:. So had our pool closed yesterday. Two days Prior to that I added enough LC to bring up to slam level and checked the pool yesterday while pump was still running at which time I tested chemistry again and LC tested slightly higher than...

Sorry, for some reason I didn’t get my question asked….. Would you lower ph down a bit (cause it will continue to rise all winter if I understand correctly) to 7.4-7.6 or just leave it alone? I’m a little sad about closing time btw, feels like I’m sending one of my kids off to college and I...

So I took this Friday off to close pool as water temp is now below 60dg. I add LC last night to bring to 20ppm slam level for me and will let it mix all day today and overnight. My chemicals testing prior to add LC were: TA 80 PH 7.8

Ordered-Thank You. 😃

Thanks sir. So unless I mix with a submersible pump don’t just open cover and pour chlorine in without a SPump to mix it?

A couple random closing questions if you please...... 1) After I close pool and shut the cover should I test the water periodically though out the winter or just leave cover shut and don't open until spring opening time? 2) Upon closing if all chemicals are in TFP ranges and I shut the...

I live in the middle of Indiana farm country and my property and pool are surrounded by farm fields on all sides. I have what looks like skin flakes all over the pool then realized it was dust from the bean fields (at least I think it is). I take a skimmer to it every day and it just goes...

Our pool was just completed this past July so we didn’t have the funds to worry about landscaping nor did I really care that much! A nice trouble free pool was my priority 😊. The wife has some landscaping plans we will start on in the spring…. I submitted a pic any way because I am Dang...

I've never heard of the Tennis ball thing....just put two tennis balls in each skimmer basket? Do they interfere with water flow at all? Will also have to research slime/scum bags as I've never heard of them either. I'm afraid I'll have to wuss out on making kids wait the 12min. There would...

Seems to me TFP's and Orenda's philosophies are pretty similar. I have both apps on my phone and use both. My specific issue is during the summer I had what looked like an oil slick on top of my water (from all the sunscreen I'm assuming). This mess would eventually attach itself to the...

Thank you sir. One more, any harm in going above SLAM levels? Say if I went to a FC level of 35-40 would it be any better come opening time in the Spring?

So, more questions about pool closing. What should my chemistry be upon closing? I've read that my FC needs to be SLAM level-so for me 20 (Cya is 50)? Once my auto cover is closed do I ever check the levels again during the winter or just wait until spring? I have some Polyquat...

Correct, no main drain. Do the suction side the same way for my two skimmers?
