I’ve got an umbrella I’d like to use in the umbrella sleeve on my baja shelf but it doesn’t fit in snug so the pole tilts. Pole diameter is 1.32”, unsure on sleeve size. Any suggestions to get this straight? I’ve tried adapters on Amazon but no luck finding a size that fits yet.

Just added a little chlorine and watched the Betta do the hard work. Best part of not having to close for the winter here. Water temp sitting at 70 degrees. Time to swim soon with these couple of 90 degree days.

I really need to look into a SWG. Biggest mistake I made when building was not getting one.

Like the title says, lost 2.5ppm of chlorine over the last 2 days. Is this normal this time of year? I’d expect it in summer but not now. I’m in Phoenix and temps were upper 70s, full sun most of the day. CYA at 50. Dosing with liquid chlorine 10%. No SWG. First spring and upcoming summer season...

Has anyone here purchased the new plus model?

Just had a pool guy this morning telling my parents that using liquid chlorine would add an abundance of calcium and that tabs should be used. I’m really happy I opted to care for my pool myself.

Im trying to figure out the best way to balance my time, money and pool chemistry. In Phoenix, our water temps can be in the upper 80s to 90s during the summer and the sun eats all the chemicals up. My thought was to add the pucks during the summer knowing CYA will rise and then switch to liquid...

We rarely hit freezing temps in Phoenix but my pump kicked on overnight. Woke up and it was running at 2700rpm. That seems excessive to me and I’d like to change it. Got into the configuration menu but I’m not seeing where to change the freeze protection speed. Just see where I can...

Just added a link to the video in a separate comment, thanks!

Here is the YouTube video of the issue

New pool completed the beginning of September 2023. The pump installed is a Hayward VSP 950. It’s loud even at low speeds such as 1200rpm. Is this normal? Not sure how to upload a video here or else I would so you all can hear this thing.

How was the 200 on waterline?

I’m wanting to take advantage of some Black Friday deals in either a Premier or Sigma. I currently use an aquanaut that came with our pool. I know it’s probably overkill with my size pool but I’m interested in the premier or sigma for the waterline cleaning. I do live in Arizona though so I’m...

This makes me feel better, thanks. We’re at about 34% humidity today so not that high. 80 degrees out, pool is 60. Did not pour directly on anything so should be good.

Yes pump has been running 24/7

Strangest thing happened to me just now. We had our pool refinished so starting over with balancing chems. I ran my tests and FC was at 0.5, PH was probably over 8.2 judging by the color of the test. Start up company had left tabs in the pool and they’ve been in there 2 days now. Anyways, when...

Had to have our new pool PebbleTec redone to fix some color issues. Pool was filled Thursday night and our pool builder was supposed to have the start up company out on Friday but they were a no show. They’re supposed to be here Monday. The pump is off (no power). Is there anything I can do...

Discoloration and apparently acid wash guys says there’s no pebble in certain areas to acid wash. I’ve added a few photos of the problem by the main drain and one from the wall.

This is a new build. Completed beginning of September. I’ve added some photos to my original post but basically there is some discoloration. PebbleTec came out and said it needed to be acid washed again. Acid guys were here and said there are spots with no pebbles so nothing to acid wash. They...

Can anyone comment to the process of chipping out plaster and replacing it? Jackhammer it out in 1 day and then another day to plaster? We just had our backyard remodeled after the pool was finished and now we’re worried they’re going to destroy our yard again while they chip it out and replaster.

We also have a post-build oasis 😂😭 New landscaping will be installed in 2 weeks.

Yes we’ve got a float valve. Nothing to adjust on it. Looks like it’s just there to keep it from sucking air.

I’m wanting to run my suction side vacuum and solar skimmer as my main cleaning methods. The only issue I see is that the main drain/skimmer share a line with the suction vacuum. Because they share a line, I have to close off the main drain/skimmer to about 75% at 2600rpm to match the advised...

Does anyone here use an AquaNaut 250 with hose weights? I’m trying to be able to keep the Aquanaut and Betta in the pool at the same time. I’ve tried a couple of weights from Amazon and they are too small or too large. No luck finding any Hayward sells.

We’re in APS territory over here. No time of use plan so we’re at a flat $0.13/kWh. Good to know I don’t have to increase when adding chemicals. Side note, since you’re in Phoenix metro, how much water are you losing each day/week with the heat and sun?
