    Waterguru Accuracy

    I decided to try the Waterguru after reading of some success with it here by a couple of members last year. I religiously test with my TF-100 kit and found myself testing FC and PH daily to satisfy my OCD. I have been waiting for my FC to drift down after taking up to SLAM levels at opening to...

    Midwest fun

    Pentair Aqualumin III rust issue

    So my pool is only about 45 days old and the PB installed an aqualumin III light. I asked about LED options when writing the contract, and they were adamant the Aqualumin III was superior in performance and would light the pool better. After 30 days I noticed what I first thought was algae...

    Long Time Lurker - Thanks for the advice!

    I have lurked in this forum for most of this year and tried to absorb every ounce of knowledge I could before building. Signed a contract in April with a PB on the east side of Cincinnati Ohio after getting 5 quotes and considering fiberglass vs. vinyl. Construction started the last week of...
