If you notice this statement in the above directions: "...changes to something more or less blue" - That of course make things just a little less ambiguous doesn't it! At least for me mine now turns a nice light sky blue - I do the test with 10ml of water and each drop is 25ppm - since I know I...

Here is the "official" TFP extended test kit instructions for CH: https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/extended-test-kit-directions.24188/post-203523

When you add the drops ahead of time it will just be your starting point to work from when you get the R-0010 and R-0011 in there. Then once you start adding the R-0012 you start at how ever many you added at the very beginning... So if you add 4 drops at first - after adding the right amount...

Could be a fading endpoint issue - I have that problem with my TF-100 CH tests, so I add a few drops (I add as many as 6) of the R-0012 reagent before the R-0010 and R-0011 - Just remember to keep track of how many R12 you added at the beginning. Also, really really mixing between drops helps -...

I am guessing here, but my opinion of the Jandy nicheless light problems is that it is both heat and corrosion problems. The reason I say both is we had 3 failures in our lights in just over 3 years - and we have a pool that is covered 90% of the time and only used the lights on rare occasions...

If you can have your wife add say 5ppm (128 oz or a gallon of 10%) at least once, or spit it in to 2 different times during the day, that hopefully would keep you closer to the proper level until you get home to double check and adjust to the correct SLAM level. That would certainly be better...

If it is a broken pin that is pretty easy to fix - take a look at the motor and see if you can post a picture of that and the pulley take up area. Also, posting your cover and motor model number can help zero in on the type of pins or clutch that you have to get you some help figuring out how to...

I don't see anything in the picture that looks too out of place or jumps out at me. If you can manually slide the cover along the track then those guides are still working fine - they do look a little out of alignment, but I don't think that would be enough to cause your problem. My next check...

Any pictures of the bent metal?

I use a waterproof outdoor canvas TV Cover - like this one: Amazon Basics TV Cover I find that you can get a little smaller size than you need often times as the covers fit pretty loosely, and modern LCD/LED TV's are so thin. I am using the 46-48" on our 50" TV and use a 36-38" version for our...

Can your builder do either brand? I ask because my builder insisted on Jandy... I have had my issues with some of my Jandy items, but fortunately Jandy support has been very good and has even done repairs and replacements beyond the original 3 year warranty, which is a plus. For what it is...

I think I would be run out of the house if I tried that - I am lucky if I can wash my hands in the kitchen sink without getting in trouble...:eek:

I was having this problem on my Android phone earlier this summer - the only fix once it locked up was to reset the power to the Jandy iAqualink main control box. I stopped trying to do changes to my schedule via my phone, and instead have done them on my desktop via the web...that doesn't...

I have been using a standard TV outside - I even left it out all winter last year (we are in a much milder climate). It has survived 3 years just fine - we get tons of rain and wind here (40+ inches last winter). I use one of the cheap waterproof canvas covers on it when it is not being used...

Doing a little research - it looks like Sundance has a special two part filter system - looks just like the kind you have - so it appears to be correct. Here is the Sundance Filtration Link I would look into getting a new one of those as they are designed to be a finer filter that traps body...

I used a magic eraser on my shell to remove some stains - might be worth a shot if you have any around...

Just installed a new Saltron Mini SWCG for our hot tub. I have been contemplating buying one ever since we picked up the hot tub back in December, but I wasn't sure how much I would use the tub. Last week we had several cold, wet, foggy mornings and I actually used the tub for 5 out of 7...

I am a recent used hot tub owner so I can help a little. Concrete Pad: Make sure it is nice and level - and has a larger space than the hot tub footprint especially on the side you will be getting in out from. Electrical: The licensed electrician should have all the answers for you as far as...

I have used an aquarium gravel siphon to clean out the dirty spots in our hot tub -the sand and things that settle in the seat wells and/or the bottom. I just start up the siphon with the hand bulb and poke the clear tube at the dirty spots and it sucks them out and dumps out onto our walkway...

I use the traps, but I found a site that promotes using bait with some encapsulated poison (ant/termite stuff) in it so that the yellow jackets return with the bait and kill the entire colony. I think that could work for you. We had some of the same type of poison from doing ant control and...

I am looking for a new drone for my 10 year old son. We have had one of the cheapo ones for a few years and after several crashes and a few wire repairs it is now pretty hard to fly. I am looking for something that can stay hovering, has decent video - and is cheap! So I looked over the...

Post a set of complete test results and lets get you started on the right path :testresults:(y)(y) With a SWG and a TF-100 test kit, which is the same kit I use - and is the recommended kit for TFP pool care, all you should really need to add with some regularity is Muriatic Acid when the PH...

The pipes, heater, and motor all will be fine sitting without water. If you have most of the water out you should be just fine. I guess another option is to fill it up, balance the water, set the temp as low as it will go (80° on mine), and put a higher level of chlorine in - then once a week...

I haven't done what you are thinking of doing, but have seen posts about others doing the same - one thing you can do is use a shop vac to blow out the lines as much as possible, that way you can hopefully keep stuff from growing in the various lines while it is sitting "empty". . . You want to...

Just saw this thread - Congrats on the new pool and state pooldv! I am posting this for @kimkats - The photo of the plant several posts back I think is a Fortnight Lily - or a similar version from the Dietes family. We have several planted around our house - they are popular in California as...

Your numbers look great! You can get slightly elevated CC if you test right after opening the cover, or if the pool has been covered for an extended period of time. The cover holds the chloramines in, so it is a good idea to open it occasionally, even if you aren't swimming, to let the CC...

It takes a bit of time to get everything dialed in with the SWCG - then the weather and seasons change and you have to adjust it all over again :rolleyes:!!!

When your pool is covered with an automatic safety cover you will use a lot less chlorine than when it is open. If you have it closed a lot of the time you will need to figure out the right % to run it at to keep the FC from going too high. For example, I run my SWCG at 25-30% when covered...

Looking forward to seeing your final repair - it sounds like you have a good plan - good luck!

Plast-aid is amazing stuff - I think it would be a great repair for the inside surface - it can be sanded and even polished a bit once it cures completely so that it blends in nicely. That would solve the leak and the exterior surface crack. In addition, I would look into adding a small...
