In addition to what ajw22 said, I just built my pool at the beginning of the year. It took about 3 months then all of the sudden the pH clicked into place. Really weird, but others have indicated the same. So just hang in there, it will eventually settle.

Clean for pool party tomorrow :)

I don't think my pump is wired correctly either. I will have to look tomorrow when it's daylight. Ryan

I have a PH20, he has the PH60. PH60 is accurate to within +/-0.01, PH20 is +/-0.1. I guess the 0.01 takes longer. Ryan

Since it is waterproof, I just stick it in the water to cover the measurement part of the probe and wait for the smiley face indicated it is done. Usually only takes about 5 seconds

Mine stabilizes in a few seconds and has a little smiley face when it locks in. Doesn't move after that. Ryan

Mine have several inches of granite gravel that is packed down and then a couple inches of sand on top of that. I don't think you want concrete underneath them. Ryan

I use the Apera PH20. It was a little on the pricey side, but I wanted something that did well holding it's calibration. You need to buy a storage solution also to maintain the calibration for extended periods. I also got tired of playing guess the pH color.

I have connected one of these inline with power for someone to control lights before...

We have natural stone pavers and I wanted to see what everyone else is using for disinfecting and cleaning? I assume a chlorine/water solution would be sufficient and not harm the pavers, but didn't know if I needed to purchase something special. If I use some of the 10% pool chlorine I have...

So just verifying. For CYA 70, I need to raise FC to 10 or 14?

I have found using liquid chlorine the fastest way to boost levels after a party. I tried using SWG one time, but the level wasn't increasing fast enough for me to feel comfortable with it. 1 or 2 cups of 10% chlorine and that was all it took to boost it quickly and make the water clear again...

Happy to help test anything on my end if they need additional testing help. Ryan

Looks nice. I would consider a 6' tanning ledge just to give more swimming room, that tanning ledge is huge. You could make the spa and tanning ledge on the same end with the spa in the corner as JJ indicated, but how you have it is nice also. It's all your preference and if you like it go...

I have a friend that uses a Dolphin Robot once a week and he has the pop-ups. Pretty sure he doesn't run them at the same time. The robot gets the areas the pop-ups can't and also collects the gravel/dirt that tends to fall on the bottom and not get pushed around by the pop-ups. Ryan

This is for the M600 which has 36 month. Don't know if it is different for a 24 month, but I wouldn't think so except for the number of months. Had to scan it in, sorry.

I was running RPMs, but recently switched to flow. It's nice to have the option. But just fyi, my pump did not work well to have the system setup to switch modes for different settings. i.e. If you do RPM, do all RPM. If you do flow, do all flow. I just switched to flow on my main pump...

Make sure to get the speed stir with the kit. Will make mixing waaaayyyyy easier. Press a button, add drops until color changes, done. It's pricey, but way worth it if you want easy. Ryan

What I read in the manual is to straighten it out and lay it out in the sun. Not sure if that helps since it may be difficult to straighten in the first place.

Is it picking up other items in the pool (leaves, twigs, etc.)? I haven't seen this issue with mine, so not sure how much help I can be. Only things I can think of are what Jim mentioned. Ryan

I just had mine built East of Dallas and spent many days concerned with the soil preparation decision. The pool builder indicated probably more than 95% do not do anything in our area and they have not had issues or known of issues over the past many years he has been building pools. Even if I...

I'm sure there is a better organization method, but this works for me. Of course I have the salt and Ph meter also in my arsenal. I really get tired of trying to guess colors.

I use this (Tackle Box) and it works really nice. Was recommended by someone else in the forum.

Agreed, I do think you would like the basket better in the S200, but I don't know what other advantages/disadvantages there are...
