Thanks, they were made aware of the situation last year and had the wet edge rep out to review. Since it wasn't losing water I don't think they were very concerned. I'll contact them again and speak with them about it since additional time has went by.

Our Gunite Pool is approaching 5 years old now with Wet Edge Pebble plaster. At the end of last swim season I noticed some fairly large cracks in the pebble plaster at the deep end of the pool. 2.5 ft long and large enough to put a ball point pen into the crack in some areas (1mm I guess). I...

I replaced my expansion joint this past weekend. I debated on Sikaflex, but used Vulkrem 45SSL instead. It comes in 4 different color options as well. It was a little bit more money (then Sikaflex), but it is a semi self leveling sealant vs a Full Self Leveling. It is advertised as being...

Since that appears to be a 1-1/4" line I'm guessing that you have a high volume, low pressure Regulator at your gas meter. A low pressure high volume will be a large regulator (like 12" in diameter), where as a high pressure regulator will be about 1/2 that size (the high pressure regulator is...

I just did this Saturday. Pulled out the old mastic and found sand with no backer rod. Used a screwdriver and shop vac to remove majority of the sand. Then washed joint clean with water hose. I found Vulkrem sealant at Coastal concrete for a much better price then other online retailers. It is a...

I agree have the builder check it. I had the same problem shortly after start up. I used a Butter knife to put behind the small pebble and pulled the pebble out. No damage occurred.

You should have a manual valve on the discharge side of your pump (garden hose style valve), before it gets to the filter. Open this valve up while you are vacuuming and most of the water you vacuum will exit this valve to the ground. You will be losing water to the pool by doing this, so just...

Thanks Jason, I knew you'd have a good reason.

Why is it that the only brand of Cal-Hypo tablets I can find locally is at Wal-mart in the HTH brand? I know you can get the AccuTab online, but I figured through the pool stores & or other areas, tablets would be available. I'm needing to raise my CA while lowering the CYA and thus, wanted to...

My pool is about two years old now and we really we have been enjoying it. Understanding the BBB method has made taking care of the pool so easy, and the water looks great. From the research I read on the forums most people tend not to worry to much about low CA, as it tends to creep up on its...

Assuming you are using the Taylor K2006. Swirl the water after adding the powder. Ensure you are using the brown bottle (R-0871) for your drops after the powder. Make sure you swirl the sample after each drop. Using a 10mL water sample with the 20 drops will provide you with 10ppm of FC...

Mixed bleach with water and about a capful of 409. Worked great. Grout & coping look brand new once again.

First Swim was yesterday after heating up for about 1/2 day, :D. Added Borates the day before and water is sparkling once again;). So I have a light Travertine coping with antique white grout. In several places I have black mildew (I assume) in the grout lines. What is the best way to...

I used Platinum Pools out of Beaumont. I can't speak for the Houston branch, but I can only say GREAT things about the my experience with the Beaumont office. The designer was fantastic, and we were extremely picky and changed the design multiple times. Also, had him change to pool size and...

Thanks for sharing. I had my PDA replaced under warranty since the light went out. However, I can see how the buttons will wearout over time. Great Fix!! :goodjob:

From the Jandy manual: Spillover - When Dip Switch 3 is in the ON position, the Aux. 3 relay socket is activated and the return valve actuator turns. The spillover is disabled while the spa is on. A message is displayed when spillover is turned on while in spa mode (water is circulating to spa)...

I have the same controller but the PS-8. The way my builder set it up was abit different, but I actually like it. There is a toggle switch inside the cabinet to turn off the Spa spillover setting. Mine is turned off. Then on the spa valve actuator set it to be slightly open when in pool...

Use the small bottle with white cap. Fill bottle with pool water to the 7mL mark. Add reagent to the bottle till you hit the 14mL mark. Cap the bottle and shake for 30 seconds. Fill the CYA test tube from the bottle you just shook, while looking at the black dot in the bottom. When the...

Pool Warehouse. We have one in Beaumont, thus I assume there is most likely one in Beaumont. Leslies also carries it, as well as Lowe's from time to time. Although i question how old some of the stuff is at Lowes.

Well I'm impressed by Weber.. The grill has been great and cooking on it has been awesome. However, all the stainless steel exterior parts started developing rust spots/blemishes :grrrr: . (It stays under the covered patio, but may get some spash rain from heavy wind) I had been using...

I agree the Polaris 9300 has worked well for me and the filter is extremely easy to clean. The only downside I have seen to this robot compared to others, ie Tigershark is the mircron rating on the filter is not quite as good. Thus, some smaller particles will pass through. Overall very happy...

Is it common for the water in the autofill float area to be dirty? I pulled the cover off just recently and the water was not very clean. I suspect over the winter the water was stagnat for a long time as the filling was not required. Not that summer is here the autofill will be filling the...

Thanks Jason!! I do intend on doing proper testing and keeping the levels where required. However, we do get some monster rains from time to time in SE Texas & if I'm away for the weekend when this occurs the FC can disapate rather quickly. Just wanted to know how people often figured out a...

Our pool has Wet Edge Satin Matrix in the Northshore Carribbean color. The pebble contains a moderate amount of black pebbles as well as tan and blue. I have seen smooth white plaster pools with algae before, but never a pebble pool. Isn't if very difficult to see the algae with so many...

Wow, sure am enjoying this grill!!! It cooks great. :cheers:

6 knobs for 6 burners. 1 rotisseire burner knob, motor and support tuck away for a nice hidden look. 1 sear burner knob. 1 smoker burner that sits under the dedicated wood box. Knobs all light up, not really needed, but pretty cool. Two handle LED lights that automatically come on when you lift...

Okay, here is a pic.

So early last year I started doing research on grills as I knew we would be investing in one sometime in the near future. I had picked out the Weber S-670, which is their 6 burner top of the line grill. At this time the economy had just sunk and the price on the grill was around $1,500 the...

Re: Rain dilemma advice needed One more tip. Try to keep rainwater from the roof of your house from running down along the edges of the gunite shell. This is just extra water that you don't want to find it's way to the underside of the shell. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea if you could...

So on start up of the pool the PB added 4 gallons of Muratic Acid to my green water while the pump was running by walking around the pool and pouring the acid in straight out of the bottle. Since then I have been trying to keep pH under control and adding acid as well while the pump is running...
