The M400 has a center roller brush so I doubt it would get stuck.

The link above is probably a better more accurate solution, but I was thinking KISS - so 1 tsp of bleach in a 5 gallon bucket should let you find the aprox % as a backwards check - Using "Effects of adding chemicals" on the poolmath page shows .1667oz (1tsp) of 6% bleach should test out as 16 FC...

I have purchased a few different umbrellas over the years - you want to get a umbrella with an aluminum pole if you are going to be putting it into a holder on your sun shelf - no wood, no steel (don't ask me how I know...). The standard ones sold at patio stores are the Treasure Garden brand...

If it was me, and I needed to SLAM, then I would do it while the CYA is "low" - that means you need to have a lower FC target level during your SLAM which should be a little easier with the CYA at 50 - CYA is not the problem to focus on at this point. Get the PH to 7.2 and then start the SLAM...

We have had several versions over the years - and the best one so far has been the aluminum metal edging by Sure-loc installed during our last lawn do-over. The Sure-loc has stakes that lock to the edging material and go pretty deep into the dirt which helps them stay in place really well. We...

Of course the week after I put this new TV up, and figured we were done with major rain for the year, it has been pouring. In the last couple of days we have had around 4 inches of rain... Thankfully I got a brand new cover that should keep it protected, but it still worries me that I have a...

I am using the 14.5% MA I can source locally - it is my cheapest option, and I like that I can pour that stuff straight into the tank with no diluting needed. So far early in the life of this injection system I am injecting acid 3 times a week for 1 minute which adds around 15oz of acid. So far...

I just installed a Pentair Acid Tank/Pump setup and the instructions show the acid injection should be before the SWG - I don't think there is any way for it to create poisonous gas hooked up that way since even a few inches of pipe, and the water flowing through it, will be enough to...

If you are looking for geometric - how about something with some straight lines on 2 sides and a curve facing the house/entertainment area? I found a really cool design that would almost fit your yard - with a few changes it might really match up to your property lines...

Cover lifters for a stand alone spa make it super easy to open and close even a large, or thick, spa cover.

Pat is one of the TFP experts, so follow his help and do a proper SLAM. As often as you can test and bump the FC back up to 12 the better and faster your pool will clear up...

They showed up toady with 12w lights not 20w -- so I have to wait a little longer.

Thread revival: Tomorrow the pool tech is supposed to come over and replace both lights under "warranty". :whoot: After a little back and forth with the pool supply company and the local Jandy rep they offered to replace both both lights so that they match. I guess these are going to be new and...

Replacing the elbow sounds like the best long term solution - if you do want to just repair the PVC I would suggest looking at Plast-Aid - the stuff is great as it chemically bonds (melts) directly to PVC and forms a stronger and better repair than say epoxy/JB Weld and other glues.

"Most Taylor Technologies reagents have a shelf life of 2 years at the date of manufacture. Taylor recommends, as a general precaution, replacing all reagents more than one year old, or at the beginning of a new testing season." I tend to use up the DPD powder, R-0871, the PH and the OTO drops...

I added the same tank and pump to my Jandy system - I got the Pentair Tank/Pump for $320 from Sunplay (using a coupon I think I got $25 off as well). I also needed a $10 Power Transformer to get the right voltage for the pump. For hooking everything up I needed some various wires and a couple...

For bromine, if you are going to test with the FAS-DPD powder, you will need the R-0872 reagent instead of the R-0871 that comes with the TF-100 kit...

The TF-100 has 2 chlorine tests included - one is with the color matching OTO test block and it isn't very accurate, it really just shows if you have chlorine or not! The second is the FAS-DPD powder test which is much better and very accurate. For just a hot tub you should be able to get away...

Get IntelliPH working without InteliChlor? ^ That is the thread/post that got me going down this path - My setup is pretty much identical to how it is shown in that post above, except my panel is a Jandy panel.

Yes, I am doing a scheduled injection - currently I am doing it 3 times per week for 1 minute each time - which based on my tests is adding around 15oz of 14% MA... So far I have been adjusting the schedule upwards - at some point I will stop when I start to hit my PH 7.6 target. edit: Since I...

Pentair Acid Tank with Tank Mounted Pump 522472 I bought mine here (I used a coupon I got from them in an email to save a good amount as well). It took them a few weeks to deliver it.

I have the Pentair Acid Tank with Pump unit and it is really nice to have - I have had mine installed and running for only a few weeks now so I have yet to perfectly dial in the PH but I am getting closer...Mine is attached to a Jandy system which is required more work than you would need...

Canada is a bit tricky from what I have read - not something I am very familiar with. You should be able to get the K-2006 or K-2006C in Canada - or as others have posted in the past, find a way to self import the TF-100 - maybe use a parcel pick up in the US and just hop back across the...

Not really - it might be possible to add some roofing material to my pergola - but that isn't really doable now as there is no slope and with lots of trees nearby I would have to constantly clean whatever accumulated on top...The TV cover is a good solution for my situation. I think the...

My feeling is if I can get a TV cheap enough then I will put it outside. We don't have a covered patio or anything so it sits under our pergola which still allows all the weather to hit it - so on occasion if I forget to cover it, and just generally over time, it probably gets some tiny bits of...

The Polk speakers are really great and work really well - originally I planned on using a little in wall type Bluetooth amp to control them, but eventually settled on the Class D amp and just stuck it on the back of our outdoor TV with some velcro. I run the Optical Audio Output from the TV to...

I looked at all of those options listed above and settled on a less expensive system using some simple Polk Audio Atrium speakers and a small class D amp...

Decided I would get a better TV and started looking for a deal on a 43-50" TV. During the Black Friday sales last year I almost pulled the trigger on a 50" Samsung TV but decided to hold off as I didn't want to spend $279-$300. We currently have a fairly low end 40" Toshiba LCD TV that I got on...

I have been looking at the Amazon Echo Input to add to my outdoor speaker system - it is just like an Echo-Dot but without the speaker. I have nice outdoor speakers already installed on our pergola along with a little class D amp that I velcroed to the back of our TV that also hangs on our pergola.
