I didn't do modular kit framing but I did do steel framing around the Blackstone that I worked into my outdoor kitchen. I did what you mentioned and put some spare Timbertech scraps down under everything; anchored using concrete screws (I think they were Tapcon). I then anchored all my steel...

Thanks Newdude, my pool is only 11 years old, but I am hoping this will be MY last liner, but not the next owner of our home!

Not to the extent of the rust on every single wall panel. There was definitely a leak somewhere because we were losing about an inch per day, but I searched all over my pool for the leak(s) and never found any. It was also only leaking water for a very short period of time. So possible? Yes...

Correct, 3,000ppm for an SWG pool, 35,000ppm for ocean, 100ppm for tap water. So definitely *some* salinity. I also somewhat agree with you on it being run-off vs. pool water. Maybe someone can enlighten me on how my pool water can get behind my liner and in contact with all of my steel walls?

24,000 gallon in-ground pool, 11 years old. Just had the liner replaced. My liner guy (who frequents TFP and will probably see this, hey Mike!) has replaced 100's of liners and is very, very adamant that I rip the SWG out of my pool and use something, anything else. He says that salt-water...

I'm slowly learning. I thought that this pool store was "different", but alas! They just told me that the CYA test should be valid, so yes, my CYA is sitting at 2. That could quite possibly be the problem! :brickwall: I'll be investing in a nice test kit here soon. Thanks all and I'll...

Thanks for your reply jblizzle. After opening the pool, I had a lot of algae which I quickly got rid of by SLAM'ing the pool. The "2" for my CYA must be wrong. I've taken my water to a local pool store twice and both times it read 2. Once right after the SLAM and once today. Using the...

Hello TFPers! I'm starting my 4 season with a SWG pool and mid last season I started having trouble keeping FC in the pool. Prior, my pool was basically maintenance free, very easy to balance and keep FC. All signs lead to my salt cell going bad, however if I capture water coming right from...

Bump.....Ok, it's 24-30 months later! Any updates on the Ti3?!?!?!

Thank you Jason, you rock! I really appreciate it!

Thank you sir!!!! Yeah, my pool is closed, so no worries!

Hello TFP'ers! I'm in need of your help. My dog chewed through my flow sensor cable last fall and now I can't find the plug end. If you have an Aquarite SWG, can you do me a favor and tell me what pins the red/black wire align to on the RJ-45 plug (data cable end) on the flow sensor. On...

If you are a techie/DIY'er, you could look into a Raspberry Pi or Arduino board and you can build your own sensors and have them communicate back to you and/or store your data. I have a friend who just built an Arduino board that monitors the current, temp, humidity...etc on his geothermal HVAC...

Thanks for your replies swimpcmp and ps0303. It seems that in NKY most people around here run heat pumps (at least on newer pools). Several of my neighbors have heat pumps and they've never had problems keeping their pools in the mid-80's all season (May 1 - Sept 30). My one neighbor opens...

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Thanks for your input Jason!

Hello TFP'ers! After doing tons of research, have decided on one of the Rheem heat pumps to heat my 25k gallon salt water pool. I'm trying to decide between the Rheem 6350ti and the 8350ti. The BTU difference on the two heater at 80,80,80 is 16,000 btu (133,000 vs 117,000). All of the reading...

Thanks for this thread! Digikey part ordered,soldered on to new board. No problems! Salt gen powers up with lights on now. Only bad part....I found that my d$/(:$;! Dog chewed up the end of my T-15 salt cell! What luck! I've searched for replacement cables and didn't find anything. Anyone...

Sorry, you're right, I was using the wrong terms (which I actually knew, just having a long day)! So yes, I close off one skimmer and use the other. I haven't tried using the other skimmer but I'll give that a shot. Good idea. To answer your question, most of this summer I didn't use a vac...

Well, I have 2 returns and one main drain. So I usually completely shut off one return, hook my vac line up to the other return and leave the main drain open (if I don't leave main drain open the SVRS kicks in immediately). With this setup, I have to run the pump at over 2000 rpms to see...

Thanks again Mark. I'll try low rpm and step it up. And the cleaner I usually use is simply and open ended hose! I'm a diver/cleaner. ;-) With the cold weather here I won't be diving and cleaning so I'll just be using a standard vac head to clean. I'll let you know how I do with lower...

Hi Mark! Thanks for chiming in. Unfortunately I'm an IT guy and not an engineer so I'll have to do a little research on the subject. I had always thoughts that it senses pressure differential over very short time periods (seconds, milli-seconds), however from what you said it appears that it...

PC, Glad I could help and thanks for taking the time to post. However I have to say, my method has not continued to work, although I haven't tried it in a while. I still find myself fighting the SVRS. However you mention power cycling the pump...do you mean that you shut the pump off, power...

You have a very good point KillerStang. This heater is on Amazon with only 2.5 stars...however only 5 reviews and your point is still valid, but it certainly doesn't give me that warm fuzzy feeling ya know! Thanks for your input! I didn't mention in my original post but I have a 25,000...
