Not really sure whats happening but I end up with this today instead of it just being inline with text as normal - so far just this 1 emoji ? I have tried several but obviously not all. The insert image thing immediately pops up. Super weird. Using iPhone ios 18.2.1 Same occurrence Via both...

When logging small additions they are rounded up or down in the timeline. For instance 0.5 oz by weight or volume becomes 1 oz & 0.4 oz by weight or volume becomes 0 oz., 1.5 oz becomes 2oz etc. You must click on the individual log (as if you were going to edit it) to see the actual amount. For...

This happened earlier It says fluid ounces- at the time I used pounds instead for my calculation then I went back to try to recreate the situation & it correctly said just ounces on all the dry chems. There have been a couple instances recently where folks asked about weight vs volume & I...

3.25 years 🪦 Failed self test- cable continuity checked out good Controller checked out 29.xx V Inside is dry - not sure if the desiccant bag is supposed to be that color though.. Impeller motor spins but not super freely & it kinda has a rattle. In my attempt to open it up to investigate...

Is this a bad idea? I have an old bag in the she shed I’d like to dispose of.

I’m new to the intense & expensive world of girls club volleyball 🏐 & traveling the country for all these massive sports events. Really struggling with how to afford it on top of high school ball which includes an impending Orlando/universal trip. She received a scholarship for the club tuition...

Since the update yesterday I am having issues using the native search bar. It just loads & loads or simply does nothing. I am currently using the old trick of searching on google with my term followed by “trouble free pool” as a work around. I am on iOS safari. I haven’t tried on the computer.

This has sorta been discussed before… Is there a way to make certain articles show up at the top of the results when the internal search is used for common terms? & maybe lock them in place? For instance, when searching “closing above ground pool” the article doesn’t show up until the bottom...

Here’s what I mean The check valve/flapper is inside the larger part & is fine. Its more like an air release. Other pumps don’t seem to even have this extra piece. I think I recall it having a ball in it. Although I never found a ball after the “incident”, could be anywhere. It was clogged...

Alright, ya’ll know I am on Team run Hot. This morning I was greeted by a mass hatching of teeny tiny swimmers! I mean tiny. The lowest my fc has been this year was 6ppm & that was 4 months ago. This morning I was at 10ppm - I normally am 8-10ppm - my last cya check 2 weeks ago was 70. Since...

Perhaps your pool volume is off, you purchased less potent calcium chloride or calcium chloride dihydrate.

I have suspected a problem for a couple seasons. Initially just my pump basket & inside my skimmer have the wonderful yellow hue. At the beginning of last season I got a replacement pump & it wasn’t long before the new basket looked the same. At the end of last year I noticed my steps looked...

Just saw a FB video (that I can’t seem to locate now) where the guy poked a little hole near the end of the hose (where you want the water to drain out of) & put the air compressor nozzle in there pointing towards the end & let it rip. It took only a few seconds for the siphon to begin! The...

I buy liquid chlorine in 2.5 gallon jugs so I use a plastic gallon pitcher to measure & pour lc into the pool. I have to stand on a stump to be able to reach & pour liquid into the pool by the return so it’s already awkward. I noticed a very small crack in the pitcher a few days ago but I...

Ok, there’s a 5 yr old rj 45+ for sale with a cut cell cord. It’s $100. The cell may or may not be functional. Although they said it worked fine when they “upgraded” their whole system & it was just about time for a new cell . The installer of the new system cut the cord close to the end with...

I decided to remove/dump my leaf net today & saw that one section of my wall is pushed in on the side that is the most buried. It is slightly separated from one of the uprights. There are places which I could probably stick my entire arm between the pool wall & the surrounding ground in a couple...

My 4 1/2 yr old LifeSmart spa has a turbo/whirlpool jet which has a “stainless” ring. Due to some instances of low cya & elevated fc I presume, it started developing rust spots & discoloration. I was able to clean it at first but it became apparent there was rust coming from the backside of...

If you’ve been following along, last weeks episode was plumbing related too https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/tell-me-about-your-garbage-disposal.267762/ On this episode of “This Crumbling Ol’ House” we are replacing the 1973 model water heater With this beauty I had been planning on...

Do I really need more than 1/2 hp? I really try not to put food down my drain so I’m not steady grinding vegetables or anything just what didn’t get scraped off the plates. Also, what do you have (brand & hp), how long have you had it, do you like it/hate it? These little workhorses aren’t...

I know the list of things to do is long & the days are short but…. Is it in the works to change the wording for the poolmath selection for bleach to sodium hypochlorite at some point? Maybe a compromise like bleach/sodium hypochlorite, liquid chlorine/bleach, Or perhaps even liquid...

As the description states, I happened to notice there’s no link to poolmath on the csi page - it just says you should use poolmath. https://www.troublefreepool.com/blog/2019/01/18/calcium-saturation-index-csi/ I assume this can be remedied quite easily

As I sit in my spa awaiting my faulty saltron mini cell replacement I now ponder the question, “Is the problem actually my control box?” For those that are long term users of the saltron mini - how long did the controller last for you? My controller is 3 1/2 years old, my most recent cell that...

Anybody here ever use their Taylor kit to test the ph of your soil? I hate to buy something else if i don’t really need to. If this is possible plz gimme the details.

Somehow, on my YouTube journey, I stumbled upon this gem 👇 Maybe some folks won’t have to live with their yellowed jet eye balls & such anymore! I know it’s been a conundrum for many & usually the answer is replacing the item but that isn’t always an option.

Ok y’all, I have acquired a 2007 club car ds. My goal is to refurbish this cart for my mother to use in her resort community. Here she is in all her glory… Overall it’s in decent shape- needs a clean up. Previous owner put 4 deep cycle 12v farm batteries in it & they are toast so 6- new 8v...

Like the title says - beware.. I put in 4 bags of Morton’s Professional’s choice night before last. Brushed it around, let it circulate & ran Robert the robot yesterday. This morning I went to clean his basket & here’s what I found - at least a 1/4 cup of tiny rocks 😳

Upon getting everything up & running It seems my 7 way valve is leaking at this seam I tightened the screws, but alas, more water flows. Perhaps I should try opening it up & using pool lube on o-ring #7 before going parts hunting 🤷‍♀️ Here’s the diagram of parts - seems intense & a little...
