    Valve actuator acting funny

    I have an Intermatic PE24VA valve actuator attached to a valve for a water feature. I rarely turn it on, but a few weeks ago it stopped working altogether. I don't have any automation. The actuator is wired to normal appearing light switch on our patio. Previously, if I flipped the switch...

    where do you store your pool toys?

    I can't find good pool toy/float storage options. We seem to accumulate more pool toys every year and have used a cheap plastic/mesh bin to hold them all. It's falling apart and I would like to find something more permanent/durable. I don't mind paying a few hundred dollars for something that...

    new SWG, different results using different tests

    I had a Hayward Aquarite with t-15 cell installed yesterday. Pool is 15000 gal so per pool math we needed ~400 lbs of NaCL. We added 320 lbs yesterday to avoid overshooting. Per pool math, that should get us to ~2600. Aquarite reads 2600 with lights on "check cell" and "check salt" lights...

    why is free chlorine recommendation higher with TFP experts?

    I'm not trying question any of the experts on this site; I've found this site to be incredibly helpful when opening my pool this year. However, most of the guidelines I've read suggest keeping the free chlorine level at 1-3 ppm. The CYA chart on TFP has much higher FC level recommendations...

    Any problem with keeping pool covered most of the time?

    Hi, new to the forum. I bought a house with an in-ground pool late last summer so I didn't have to do do much maintenance. Managed to keep it algae free despite not having any idea what I was doing. However, I was using way too much trichlor. pH kept dropping and I couldn't find a reason why...
