My cya is at 60 right now. Started out at 20 this spring from draining pool water over the winter and have slowly been raising in 3 pounds of cya at a time. My water is perfect right now. Pump run time is as follows with a ecostar pump: 4am-11am 1100 watts 12pm-3pm 1500 watts 4-4:45 2100 watts...

Wow that's lucky. I didn't think warranties covered lightning. Did the store or manufacture fix it?

Heard from insurance claim dept today. Ended up being $3200 after depreciation. We have replacement insurance so if we buy the same products or one with similar specs we can get up to an additiinal $500 if we give them the receipts for anything over the amounts they gave us after depreciation up...

Out of curiosity why raise the FC level? Is this necessary with a SWG?

The tv repair guy gave us a lightning affidavit today. Turns out the HDMI port was shot and the motherboard on the projector was fried. Ending up only costing $20. He said not feasible to repair. So now we wait on the insurance. Shouldn't take to long hopefully.

Here is our semi DIY. Looks like it was taken sometime late last year because there is no gates on my fence and a load of gravel out back. I hope I can get the rest of the sod laid and gazebo built before the next time it come by. You can see the 12x12 pad I had poured where the gazebo is going...

87 today. Air temp was in low 90s today. Hottest day of the year so far this year.

Sch 80 is for heavy duty applications and is rated for a higher psi. You should have no problem using it but is really not needed in residential pools.

Filed the claim and talked to the insurance company today. I have to take the projector to a repair man to verify it was struck by lightning and is beyond reasonable repair because it is a $3000 projector. They don't care about the $1000 plasma, they said they would just pay it because it was...

Pool pump works. Thank goodness.

Now we are finding other odd things. Our dish hopper will not display a picture but will play audio. Also can watch stuff on its HDd on another hopper in the house. I haven't checked the pool pump but I am fixing to.

Did you file a claim?

I read this thread the other day and at that time never had a worm in our pool. Got home last night and had a giant earth worm in the bottom. Then thought had a baby frog. Do y'all usually shock when stuff like this gets in there?

So we got home this evening our lights out by the pool were not on. They are on a timer so I went out to inspect. Gfci was tripped. 1st time since installing 8 months ago it has tripped. So I come in and my wife tells my our Epson projector is not working. I take it down and inspect the bulb and...

Ok thanks. That was my response " Well it is a salt water pool". I just wanted to check after 4 people said it tasted more salty than other salt water pools they have been in. I will check it with the strips to see how far they differ.

I had some people over this past week and a few of them says the water tastes a little salty but didn't think anything about it because they were all a little intoxicated. My wife had a friend of hers over yesterday afternoon and they said the same thing. I can taste it a little but not like...

Re: PA- New DIY Lagoon please feel free to Review and Commen I think the variable speed would give you the best options. I have the Hayward Ecostar and love it. I have 4 speeds set. 1. 1200rpm which is right around 200 watts. I use this for filtering 6 hours a day. 2 1600rpm which is...

Compupool makes a generic. Not much cheaper than the Hayward that comes with it though. $365 http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/CompuPoo ... RC40GH.htm The Hayward t15 is $425 on Amazon. You could always use the BBB method until you could get a cell though.

Have you checked your flow switch?

Ok thanks. That may be why it is always so hard for me to tell a difference. I read the directions the kit came with and it said it doesn't have to be perfect so I just usually filled to just above the 8.2. On all my other I make sure they are exact but I will test paying more attention to that...

One more question about this topic and I am sorry I am a little OCD about getting #s right on ( I deal with #s all day so that probably has something to do with it) Does not filling it all the way up to the very top small black like make a difference? Would that be throwing the test off that...

Ok thanks guys. I thought 7.5 but I guess I keep looking at it and over think it. I guess deep down my inner chemist wants to play with some MA.

What would you call this? At 1st glance I see 7.5 but could pass for 7.8 also. Maybe I just need to go to the eye doctor. [attachment=0:2fh81vff]ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21369960974.562665.jpg[/attachment:2fh81vff]

Sorry. I have no idea how to check or if it is even possible for a flexible PVC to pinch so bad that water will not come out. I would think so since the purpose of it is to bend but I have never worked with it before. On our plumbing I done last year I used all rigid. Maybe someone with more...

Thanks jblizzle. My biggest problem is the 7.5 and 7.8 difference. Is the acid demand ph test kit that has the white card behind it easier to read? I remember watching a YouTube video that showed that kind of test kit but can't remember who makes it.

Man that stinks. I would kill for a ph test kit to use the speed stir with. Lol. That thing will spoil you. I use the little white cloth thing that was included but half the time just end up guessing. I can tell the different between 7.2 and 7.8 but not 7.5 and 7.8 so much.

I have the OTO ph/ chlorine test that came with the TFT 100 but hate trying to decipher the reading. Is there a drop test or anything else that is easier to test PH? I have looked on TFT test kits and didn't see anything else for Ph.
