I'm pausing the opening as i am trying to get chemicals and it will get down to 34 degrees overnight on Wed / Thu. in the interim, here are the pics. I'm leaning towards pollen. I'm thinking of running the robot for a few days and then start the pump. What do u think ? Original: Scooped...

Last year was 1st pool season and opening pool for the 1st time...took a water test... water was looking clean. results (before starting filter): FC/CC = 0 Ph: 7.1 TA: 50 CA: 50 CYA: 30 Salt = 2200 the water is transparent clean, i only see brown sediment ... not sure if this is brown algae or...

@Divin Dave the pipe is connected to the return on one side... i can cap off the other side... since part of it is old black poly, is there a danger of pipe exploding ? @PoolGate the booster line doesnt go all the way to the pool.... i looked at the old pool inspection and there are 2 returns...

HI, i am re plumbing an old pool. i have 2 returns and one more line (full size - 1.5 in) for booster. i dont plan on using the booster pump. the way i understand it, the booster line must be joined to one of the return lines. but since they are under the ground, i dont know where. is it ok to...

Would something like this from Hayward work Hayward QTA1015CSEG 1-1/2-Inch Gray QTA Series True Union PVC Compact Ball Valve

@CJadamec the link you provided doesnt have 1.5in valve , but if they were, arnt Pentair Jandy and others serviceable valves ? So it should eliminate the need for union, unless your concern is housing itself.

I'm in the same situation and after reading many posts, there is no need for a check valve. However, I am making sure I have some space for it so it can be installed if needed later.

All great options, I see pentair valves were almost the same price as Hydroseal or similar valves, so I am going to get those. But these will not be union valves... is that ok? I'm thinking one valve for each of the inflow pipes and one valve for out of the outflow pipes. Total 5 valves

Hi, I am replumbing all the equipment (1.5in pipes) and wondering if I should use basic 2 way valves available in big box stores ? Or pool grade ones ? Want to keep the budget low. For reference, I dont have any water features and installing new intelliflo VSP and new cartridge filter.

Thanks. That helps.

@kim , I'm pretty much in the same situation. Qq about the CYA, any specific reason to keep CYA low ? I will have a SWG , recommended CYA is 70-80, so why aim for a lower CYA?

Thanks Maddie. Also, since the water is new , should I skip the filter and only recirculate the water using the pump ?

starting a 23k pool with fresh liner and water. will be filling from the hose, so did a water test with my new kit and here are the results. just want to make sure I am getting it right: PH is 7.4 this is OK FC is 0 (ofcourse) . Using pool math app, i need to add just 1 Gallon on chlorine 16%...

so attached are the specs of the pool siding. I am leaning towards putting in 2 laminars at location D, E without breaking any concrete. OR 3 Laminars : One each at A, B, C

No, the deck is staying. At max resurfacing the deck, but I cannot afford to get rid of it. One idea that I had was to just have 3 laminars along the north (top) side of the deck

@Jimmythegreek That's a good idea. Let me check exact distances and report back.

Looks like a pond of some sorts. you should get the seller to fill it up. ask them for use a licensed GC to demo and remove it.

North will be the Top of the picture. will try to update the pic. will try to put the equipment all the way to the back wall... yes, the heater is gas. its old.... but i will still move it. i know the gas will be a pain and expensive... trying to get a quote on that. how easy is it to move it...

SO i was thinking of adding a laminar to the pool as i am redoing the existing pool (everything). i didnt realize till today, but my pool is not in the center of my deck. So if you look at the pic below, you will see its kinda pushed to one side. so i am very unsure where the laminars should go...

I'll check and post pics tomorrow. if it is, then would it become a deal with the new liner ? i mean would i need to install one or the liner replacement people would be able to install it later ? - - - Updated - - - well, my friend, I envy you. your work has been fabulous.

Hi fellow TFP experts, i have 18x36 rectangular pool with center steps. the pool deck is old , it hasbt been opened in years and now i am planning to open it next year. also, plan to do most work myself. i want to do 2 main things: 1. Change Coping. i current have the coping which is very...

thanks for the great advice. i am on the books. agree with the MD delete... will talk to the liner company about it. Do you know if the intellivalves take up a circuit on ET ? - - - Updated - - - @Jimrahbe, thank you for that lite salad dressing comparison. the you have suggested is the...

@jonpcar i was reading your thread and i see you have valves
