Pool rake is different then a garden rake.. As silly as this sounds for a owner who has a clue, it might save a owner who has no clue his liner ?

85% of my return water goes to pool and the rest goes to spa. I have Jandy 2444 actuator valves and it's always the same, spa spills over into pool. Once every other week or so I run the main drain on the spa and give it a good scrub while the water is being transfers to the pool to remove small...

I used Heliocol to install mine. You probably thought of that though huh ? I guess you could google pool solar panel instal and find companies in your area

Ok. I didn't understand it releases copper and other minerals into the water. The Ion would contain copper, I understand that now. Thanks

It's from Costco so no issue with return. I'm very familiar with TFP method and follow it religiously. I thought maybe another set of eyes on this product might help. Would it help if I was on vacation for 5 days or even if I wasn't ? Sounds like it might help with chlorine usage as I use a...

I hate pool stores but NPS always had 2 gallons of 10% on sale during the summer for less then 5.00 and the acid was very well priced. I'll look around some more.

Hope it's the right forum. Since Nevada Pool Supply has been bought out by Leslie's, where can I pick up my chlorine and Acid. Today I went to buy these and was charged: Chlorine 8.29 for 2 gallons. 1 box= (2)- 1 gallon containers Acid 12.99 for 2 gallons . " " " " "...

I took the 8 screws off one of my 4 check valves just to see the condition of the flapper and gasket, I imagine after 10 years they should all be replaced. Anyways that's my project this weekend, hopefully that will fix the back flow from hot tub to pool. I do have 3 Jandy 2444 actuators and...

No, I had the pump on for 5 hours at night as normal but didn't know that hot tub was draining back during the day because I was not home to notice it. Ok, I'll plan on getting bids to replaster then. Valves will be fixed by the weekend Thanks

My hot tube drained down to pool level over the last 10 days while the pump was off. Pump on during the night, was good, off, back drained into pool. Now my hot tub plaster had bubbled during the 110 degree heat during the day with no water in it. Mostly the steps have issue. Do I need to...

Added about 1.5 pounds of CYA I bought from Walmart today. I'll check it in 3 days and recheck in a week. I'm hoping it'll be at 60-65... If no movement with the dot test I'll order more of the clear liquid you put in the Little container that you shake and pour into the cylinder with the dot...

I dragged myself into Walmart today to by some stabilizer and saw 10% liquid chlorine for 2.97 per gallon.

I would say regent is 2 years old. It's kept in the laundry room, cool and dark area.. First time checking it this year, last time was April 2015 Ill go ahead and add like a 1lb more of new stabilizer. I've never had alge. Yes, I'm a UNLV FAN :bball: Thanks for quick responses : EDIT: no...

My CYA use to be about 70, I tested it today and it shows < 30. Is it possible it has dissipated, no rain to think of as I live in the desert. It's been about 2 years since I filled my pool and used stabilizer from big box store to bring it up to 70. I do top it off a lot during the last 2...

Re: Reverse Osmosis for pool filtration? I wish we had R/O options here in the desert.

Good questions Dean. I would like to do the same and want to know if there needs to be any modification to the impeller or any other part of the pump area, install, gaskets etc.. I have a single speed 2.5 horse power motor and it works great and moves a ton a water. I actually like it, as it...

Re: Pool valve questions Great answers gtemkin. What I was trying to explain but couldn't type it right :cool:

What is that fire hydrant looking thing ?! I wanna know too :D maybe it's a the water shut off valve for your whole house

Re: Pool valve questions I'm going to try to answer these. 1. If the jets are full strength, does that mean that the valve is open or closed? That particular valve would be full open 2. If the jets are full strength, does that mean the skimmer vacuum is off? Conversely, if the jets are off...

Thanks everyone

When did I join TFP ?!?! Almost 2 years ago ! Followed all advice and did I read everything 3 times. Yup. I sure did. Very proud of myself. Only issues I have are my CH is crazy high, I do live in the Las Vegas Valley though. Only thing I need to read more of is this CSI thing. Very...

Not an expert by any means, but, I'd keep everything away from MA. Stuff eats through metal even through the vent caps.

I love my spillover, same water, same pump, same heater. Easy peasy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't feel bad. I'm using about 3/4 of gallon of 10% per day and keep my FC at 9ish. My CYA is 75. Pool temp us 85-90 degree. 9-10 hours full sunlight. I buy my bleach 20 gallons at a time lol My pool is crystal clear. I haven't had swimmers since July 4th. 2 gallons of 10% bleach is 4.50 at...

Maybe it's just me, but, draining a pool in the summer with it being so hot with full sunlight might not be the best idea. I would probably wait until until November so you don't have to baby sit the plaster. Good luck
