Thanks for the info. They installed it yesterday, the quality is as you stated and the install looks good. They didn't have the pump on hand and said they will bring it later this week. They said you screw a short garden hose to it.

Thanks Donaldm, thats the info I was seeking. Is yours the type you can walk on?

They must be real Crud if no one here has one. :?

Anyone?

My pool cover, which has yet to be installed, was included in the price of my A&S contract. It is an Anchor brand solid cover with pump. Should I expct this to be of any quality? How does it compare to the Loop Loc covers?

How much pipe anti freeze should I need? Also, what is polyquat 60? Do I cycle the polyquat befor closing?

I am closing the pool for the first time next month. A&S Pool Service Department wants lots of cash to just add chemicals and to blow out pipes. Can anyone here advise what type of "closing" chemicals I will need to have on hand . I don't know what my numbers will be then (mid Oct), I am...

What is the standard shock level for FC?

Thanks Jason, I turned the SWG down to 19%. At which point in FC level do I begin to damage equipment (pump internals, solar cover, etc.)?

My SWCG (Aquapure 1400) was originally set at 50% with no cover and kept the FC at about 5. Once things began to cool down at night (55 degrees), the FC got to about 11. I set the SWCG to 40% and then turned on my heatpump and put on a solar cover which has been on fro about 4 days. My water...

We used Anthony and Sylvan. Very few headaches and the job turned out very nice. I must say, their service department is exceptional.

vapool, I'm just south of B'more and I had an extra 1.5" of water in the pool yesterday. I got a late start this year cause my PB didn't finish until 7/2. Over the last couple of weeks, my pool temp has gone from 82 to 70. I just ordered my heatpump this past Saturday--maybe I can get...

Interesting post. My Polaris gets hung up on the steps as well. New plaster to boot (45 days new). Anyone else experience a wear issue or could it be cause of older plaster? BTW, I tgink a roller on the front of the Polaris 360 would be an excellent idea.

Thanks for posting that question, I was wondering the same myself since I haven't had CC since initial open/shock. If I may ask another newbie question here, what are borates and how do I test? I have the TFP test kit and don't see a borate test included?

We have Spraydeck by Increte systems. Although its only been on the decking since May, there are no stains and it is very easy to clean with water from a hose. It can be a little slick in some areas. We discourage running as well but sometimes kids will be kids. Our PB applied it for free due...

My filter is just over a month old. I back flushed per the instructions given and haven't had any issues until now so i don't know what I could may have done wrong.

My SWCG was activated last thursday. Prior to adding salt, my water was well balanced and crystal clear using tri chlor tabs. My salt is now at 3500ppm (within range for Aquapure 1400), other numbers are as follows: FC 5.0 TC 5.0 CYA 60 TA 100 CH 250 PH 7.3 Temp 80. I run my pump 12 hours...

That should read PH 7.2

I added CYA last night. My # FC 3.5/TC 3.5; CYA 60; PH 7.2 . The swg was set at 60%, I lowered it today to 55%. PH

Unfortunately, Namco Pool Store has a written policy prohibiting return of unused/unopened chemicals. Like a dumb a**, I didn't read the small print until it was pointed out to me by the store clerk when I attempted to return them.

JohnT, would I have seen the rebar prior to plaster? My project sat for about 6 months between gunite and plaster, never a hint of rebar showing. I was in the empy shell often cleaning debris and such. Also, from watching them do the shotcete, it was applied pretty thick. I certainly hope it...

JasonLion, thanks for entertaining my novice questions. When you say the SWG off, do you mean that it can be powered on, but chlorine production at "0". Once the unit was activated, the sensor was screwed in to the pvc and it began reading salt and temp. Is it ok to use cal hypo and the tri...

Jasonlion, I posted in the poolschool section cause it seemed like the most appropriate for my topic. I've had the TFP test kit for a couple of weeks. My numbers as of this morning were as follows: FC- 2.0 CC- 0 TC- 2 PH-7.2 TA-90 CH-240 CYA-50 My Aquapure was just activated today. I'm...

My pool was opened on July 2, 2007. At that time, being totally ignorant to this pool business, I purchased various chemicals per the service department's recommendations--the rep. knew the Aquapure swcg would be activateed 1 month later as they were doing the activation, that happened this...

Could it be? These weren't there initially and then a couple of spots developed that went away within a couple of days. Now these. My SWG was just started up and the service guy said "oh, those are organic, possibly from tese trees around here. I've been really careful not to let anything sit.

Having trouble here; let me try this again-

Apparently the file is toolarge. I'm hoping that compressing it will allow me to post it.

Maybe this one will work; if not, how dod I do this? If it does work, any comments on what this may be Algea or metal stains?

I've added these pics; I hope the attachment works. Some are tan in color, others are darker-maybe brown.javascript:gotoSlideShow('http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=167694223/PictureID=3597425245/a=34254545_34254545/t_=34254545')
