What about the risk to the travertine deck etc?

Almost zero FC loss overnight. The pool is crystal clear. If I don't put the floater back in and the pucks in the skimmer, I can almost guarantee that it will be zero by the end of the day though. I think I'm just going to remove the inline puck chlorinator and ozone generator. Keep the UV and...

I'll do the overnight test tonight, but I think it's important to note that I can keep FC levels if I use tabs in the skimmers. I rarely have to replace tabs in the chlorinator and I suspect it's because the flow through the chlorinator isn't enough. (More is being diverted to the cleaner pump...

Understood that with a CYA of 70, my FC should be around 7ppm. My original target was 1ppm with a CYA of 0-10 based on what the pool company told me.... along with telling me that UV, Ozone and a chlorine tab feeder was the new way to do things instead of SWCG!!! I have well water and couldn't...

Some added notes. I've thought about the SWCG and may do that down the road, but have opted to at least try the UV with Ozone and chlorine route. I'm trying to maintain a FC level of 1ppm which, from what I've read should be OK with the additional UV. I use a Taylor Test kit once per week and...

I have a 36k gallon pool and spa. I can't keep the chlorine levels stable and I believe it is due to the chlorinator placement and lack of flow. Here is a diagram of the layout: The pump runs for 10 hours per day, but every morning, the chlorinator is half full of air and little to no flow is...

In addition to the Ozone and UV I was putting 3" Chlorine Tabs into a floater to maintain FC levels as instructed by the pool service company recommended by the pool builder. That was supposed to be until they installed an in-line chlorinator which was only installed last week. Will start using...

Patrick / Jim, Thanks for the responses. The main timer was originally set for 12 hours, I think I reduced it to 10 hours but honestly can't remember and the "on" pin was removed during closing. The cleaner ran for 1.5 hours in the morning, every morning. One thing I forgot to mention is that...

So... The pool company I hired to build my pool last year were not very good at educating me and I stupidly didn't do enough research. They installed a single speed 2HP Hayward Main Pump. An additional 2HP Hayward pump for a water feature. A 1HP booster pump for the cleaner. The entire system is...

Jim R, Good question. I had setup a camera to take a picture every minute, never thought to look. Looks like you are correct, two for the main and two for the water feature. They don't look to be connected..... I have spoken with the pool builder MANY times, during the build and after, when...

Jim R, Thanks for the response. One concern I have with using the deep heat constantly is that, as I understand it, the pump for the waterfall also pulls from the main drain, so if the deep heat circulation is running at the same time as the waterfall, there is a good chance that the "hot"...

Here are a couple of pics of the equipment with some descriptions of what I think is wrong. Thanks for taking a look!

I had an inground pool with spa and waterfall installed last summer. They finally installed the inline chlorinator today.... 7 months after completion!?!?! I'm not happy with the plumbing install and here's why. 1. They forgot to install the "deep heat" plumbing initially, so they did so later...

I had a 42x22 free form in ground pool built this summer. There is also a spa on one end and a 6ft wide rock waterfall near the deep end. The deck is dry set travertine. One company has provided me with a quote for the cover (GLI ProMesh), installation and closing of the pool for $6400.00. Does...
