Love the excuses. Algae revealed as cause for diving pool's change from blue to green at Rio Olympics - - - Updated - - - My apologies for the spelling in that header!

Water Temp 92 in New Orleans area. Had some rainlast week (Finally!) that lowered it to 85. Boy did that feel good!

Welcome to the forum Coldenka. Since you have to rely on pool store testing, post the results for more help. Post your own test results when you return. My SWCG broke down a couple of days before vacation. I put 3 pucks in a floater and I was fine. Using those will raise your CYA but at this...

I saw the subject line then I looked to see who posted it. I was thinking Pooldv is a pro, what the heck happened. I bit the the bait. Love it and what a beautiful pool!

I have owned some electronic devices that measure ORP, Ph, etc. and it had to be calibrated every 30 days. I paid $250 for it and sold it on Ebay for $20.00 a few years ago. I am in the tech industry but when it comes to my pool, I will take my TFP100 any day over any electronic device.

Tim, Thanks for the link. Dave

I wonder how many suckers will sign up for this service? Smart Pool Monitoring System | Simplify Pool Care | pHin I wonder what is in those "pods"? I did not see anything about PH sensor calibration. Makes you wonder!

Skylar, Thanks a lot for the replies. I found the issue. When I first put the sensor in I had turned off the two main breakers in the box. One has a test button and I pushed it to test the breaker. What I did not realize was the test button had become stuck. When I switched the breaker back on...

Skylar, Thank you so much for the information. I am going to go take another look at the circuit boards. What is strange is it was working just prior to installing the new sensor. I had the old one unplugged so my remote and programmed pump times would work. Just after plugging in the new...

It is definitely not the dislay. My biggest concern right now is I cannot get my pump to start. It is going to be 90 degrees Saturday. I am tryng to find a local Jandy Tech now.

My Jandy 1400 started throwing a 170 error code a couple of weeks ago. I found a Jandy troubleshooting flowchart that determined the flow sensor was bad. None of my pump or cleaner programs would run with the sensor board plugged in so I left it unplugged and set salt production to 0. And...

I am in the exact opposite position as you. I have had a Jandy 1400 SWCG since day one. It has been a breeze to own a pool with SWCG. Just test a few times a week and add MA to lower Ph a couple of times a week and keep an eye on all of your levels, especially CYA. A few days ago my Jandy system...

If you are referring to my avatar, that would be two Jandy WaterColor lights. They put on some great light shows.

Here it is aged to silver.

We are going to build a ground level deck between our house and pool. Have you looked at IPE decking? It is used in a lot of boardwalks near the ocean. It is one of the hardest and densest hardwoods out there. It is so dense it sinks in water. We looked at composite but we are going with IPE. It...

We hit 86 today. My son got in last week at 82 and I had my first swim today. It felt great! I still cant believe we are swimming in April. WooHoo!!!!

Wow, nice work! About the only plumbing I can do is hook up a water hose. That pool is ginormous. I cant wait to see this when finished. Keep the pics coming and good luck.

Last year on April Fools i had an idea to photoshop a microwave oven with some pvc plumbing coming out of it and post it this year. Fast forward 1 year and I remembered that idea. Too late for a photoshop session but I had to post something since I didn't see any hijinks this year. :D

I just read a press release for a new Mircowave sanitizer for pools that guarantees to sanitize your water and kill all pathogens with 3 milliseconds. It also heats your water when power is increased to 3.1 gigawatts of output, the maximum output of the Microwave accelerator. In addition the new...

We get a lot of pollen. Sometimes I go out in the morning and our pool tile and polaris hose is yellow. We run our pump daily and year round due to the fact we have a SWCG. Winter is 4 hours a day at 10% swcg runtime. Summer is 8 hours at 60% swcg runtime. While I agree that pollen will bypass...

With all the new members I thought I would bump this up to get some new stories. Welcome to all the new members!

Beer! Just kidding. Not really. My second favorite is a really nice pair of swim goggles. I use them more than anything. Second for me is a really comfortable lounger. As for the nieces and nephews, squirt guns, dive toys, badminton, and volleyball. Enjoy your swim season and welcome to the forum.

Your filter is oversized for your pool volume just as mine is. I have a 340 sq/ft filter on a 13,500 gallon pool. The last time I cleaned was last May and I waited two years due to very little rise in pressure. Below is a link to my last cleaning with pictures of the cleaning process. What I...

Love that selfie and all your answers!

Pooldv is right on in the placement of the lights. I have a small pool and both mine are in the wall closest to the house. The last thing you want is to look out at the pool and have a light staring you in the face. If you will have colored LED lights my only concern would be how that will look...

Welcome fellow Mandevillian! I would bet that your builder is Oasis Pools judging from your signature and the equipment used. They built my pool a few years ago. Actually they built most of the pools in my neighborhood. I cant wait to see how it turns out. Good job finding this forum. It will...

I brushed daily when the plaster was new. Now about once every three months. Love my Polaris!

I will let the pros weigh in but nothing looks correct in these images. The lower image shows waterline tile installed but you cannot see the gunite on the surface. It looks like the waterline tile is attached to dirt. The whole pool shell looks like it is at the same level as the surrounding...
