Hi I just had a brand new solid winter pool cover installed. it has bungees installed every 18 inches. It is not a safety cover. I keep a drain pump in the center at all times. Is it supposed to have some sag, even when pumped nearly dry? When wet, it seems to have a lot of sag. Thanks!

Pics?

Closing in about a week or two - waiting on a new winter cover to be delivered. The LSI will drop a good amount in the great lakes winter.

Hi My pool builder performed an in pool acid wash a few weeks ago, dropped my pH very low. Prior to the acid wash, I had perfect pool chemistry. They reversed the process with Soda Ash and my Alkalinity has been sky high ever since. I have been adding small amounts of muriatic acid almost...

the alkalinity is now close to 300

the color is for the most part acceptable other than the areas of gray (which look like plaster was brushed down to the concrete) our areas of black (which look like the blue aggregate was sanded away from the black base plaster). the alkalinity off my tap water is low. Prior to the no drain...

I went in this past weekend - the surface did not feel rough under my feet - confirmed with a few other people in the pool.

Here are some more pics. The main drain looks like a poor job to me. I tried to send examples of the black spots which are throughout the pool as well as the deep gray parts which I think are concrete showing through. Thanks again.

So... The no drain acid was is complete. They dumped about 12-15 gallons of HCl into my pool (21,500) gallons. They brushed every day for 2-3 days and reversed the reaction. When the pool cleared up, you can tell that the quartz plaster was completely different - you can actually see a the...

Update. They are currently performing an in pool acid wash- They added about 12 gallons of Hcl to my 22k gallon pool, brushed every day for 3 days, then added soda ash. They isolated the heater and chlorinator and ran the pump very slow with the filter cartridge out during the process. We’ll...

Hi Is there a simple way for me to control my heater from my iPhone/tablet? I know I can go the route with Pentairs intellitouch or easytouch - I would have to buy the controller + the additional wifi system? $$$ Is there a simple solution? Wondering if this might work...

So, if I could get the pool builder to do anything I want, what is the best 2 possible scenarios?

"Quartz Plaster"

Thank you all for the feedback. I was there when they plastered. It was a hot day - 90's and very sunny. It is a basic plaster - dark color (gray/black) w/ blue speckles. I believe it is a custom color from NPT. To me it looks more blue in my pool. I am wondering if I should just push for...
