Yes, I was thinking the same way. Yes, please ask for @bdavis466 input as well. Thanks.

So it sounds like having the tumbled travertine pavers installed without spacers and no polymeric sand would be best? Lower maintenance ( not having to refill the joints annually and less potential polymeric sand getting into water when it cracks). Does anyone see any issues with not having...

Are you getting polymeric sand or regular sand in between joints? If this is a older pic, do you have any issues with weeds coming in between the joints? Do you have a recent pic of the same section you can share. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I am concerned that the polymeric sand would Eventually flake out of the spaces over time, which means more will need to be placed in continuously. Does the polymeric sand help with expansion and slight movement between joints of pavers? I will have an expansion...

I’m having my 1.25” thick travertine pavers installed on a dry set base. The PB is planning to use spacers and then fill joints with polymeric sand. The pavers are pretty smooth on the sides, so I would think they would fit tightly together without having to add the spacers and the polymeric...

Good to know. The coping will lay on mortar. The deck will have a gravel aggregate and sand with travertine pavers on top tightly fitted without polymeric sand in between. So it sounds like you would go with grout in between the coping.

My travertine coping is being installed tomorrow around inground pool. They will give an option to have grout in between the coping or have the travertine butt up against each other. Which is better for more of a sturdy and reliable adhesion? The coping is smooth on the sides and not tumbled...

Thanks, good to know!

Thanks for the clarification. So Poolgate, or anyone else reading this, since you are using both, PDA and cellphone, how much do you use the PDA now? I want know is it worth getting the PDA even though I have the updated RS version that uses a cell phone. I have heard that the PDA is extremely...

Thanks for the information. The pool lights are working, but I was thinking of just having the aquapalm controller that is waterproof in addition to the cell phone capabilities as an alternative to have in the pool as well versus Getting a waterproof case for my phone.

Thanks for the info everyone. Can’t wait to get the pool completed and begin the full TFP journey!

I am having the iaqualink i900-P with the 2.0 system installed so that I can use simple automation with my pool. I was wondering if I can also add the PDA aquapalm controller to that system as well so that I can have the option to use the waterproof aquapalm controller while in the pool vs...

Thanks all! Good to hear Poolgate about your experience with the fusionsoft. Yes, I have the FusionSoft 1400. My rectangle pool is 16x36 without a spa. So it sounds like I will not need to add pucks/tablets, but I will need to add liquid chlorine. Will the chlorine go into the empty slot of...

My pool is under construction and the nature 2 fusion SWG was installed. After reading several posts on TFP, it seems that the mineral cartridge will be bad for our inground plaster pool. Can I just have the SWG cell operating in the nature 2 fusion SWG and not place the mineral cartridge in? I...

the pump

I just had my pool plumbing pressurized again, and we could hear the air escaping from around the lid of the pump filter. Even after adjusting it, replacing the gasket and lid, air seems to still be coming pass it. It is a slow leak, maybe 1 PSI every 2 hours. Do anyone think that this is a...

From what I hear, none of the robots do a great job on cleaning stairs or the corners. It sounds like people sweep the stairs with the brush onto the pool floor so that the robot can get it there. Yes, I think you are right that I would appreciate the robot more if I did it a couple of times...

Thanks for the pointer. Yes, I may wait for the rebate specials. In what month do they usually run their special in?

Interesting. I had a similar issue. My PB pressured tested with air at 25 PSI, it held for 3-4 weeks with slow decline of 3 PSI each day. Then they were putting in some trenches and cracked one of the plumbing pipes. They fixed it and pressured it back to 25 PSI and it lasted for only 6 days...

Thanks PoolguyinCT. What didi you not like about the iO Dolphin series?

Thanks! I will review these items and decide. I will probably ask a qualified electrician for a little help as well.

Would you recommend the Jandy IQ904-P bundle (Amazon.com : Jandy Zodiac IQ904-P iAqualink Complete Control System Bundle : Garden Outdoor I already have the AquaPure set up. I like the function of the iaqualink 2.0 for the versatility. Could I add this bundle to the AquaPure pretty easily? I...

Thanks Chris.

Thanks for the info Chris. Good to know that the Readyset is a good product that is reliable in case I go that route. Since I do not have a spa, is there a real use for my system to have a JVA?

I currently have an unground gunite pool with a Jandy epump water filter 2.7HP, AquaCal Heatwave Heat Pump, Nature2 Fusion SWG, 2 Hayward pool lights, and an autocover. On the equipment pad, my SWG is hooked up to an AquaPure enclosure, I have the breakers (filter pump, main disconnect, heat...

Thanks! Sounds pretty simple. I have been looking into them and saw that intermatic ReadySet pe24va actuators seem to be really reliable and may decrease issues/time in resetting to exact positions. Have you or anyone reading this had experience with the ReadySet that can offer personal...

All good points. This may be a simple question, but which lines do I need to do place the actuators on for sure if I get the kit with only two actuators? Thanks.

Thanks Chris with the suggestions. I will look into a wifi bundle system. Maybe the Jandy wifi bundle? Do you know the name of their wireless system or the one that you decided to go with? I am assuming they have several?

Pool is about to be finished. Currently have a suction Polaris. Thinking of getting a dolphin s300 or s300i robot. I want something I can control with my phone, can be integrated if I want to automate my pool in the future, cleans very well, cleans stairs/walls/tile. I did hear about a new...
