I had a compool Lx3600 with is4 poolside remote and indoor Compool control panel Cp3600. I recently had the Compool to EasyTouch Upgrade installed along with the ScreenLogic2 system so I could control the equipment with my phone. Works great for me, but the kids find it confusing, so I picked up...

We hadn't used the jetted tub in a year or two when the Mrs asked recently if she could, and I promptly cringed. Lemme clean it first and then I'll keep it purged if it keeps being used. I got a bunch of gunk out and the ahhsome lived up to its name yet again. I was kinda surprised...

I'm around here so much that every once in a while I briefly forget what an amazing resource this place is for me as a pool owner. I can be helping people for days because I'm not slaving over my own pool. I'd like to give back a little so I'm offering half a gallon of last year's Muriatic...

Hey Folks !!! With a large pool, I need 4lbs of CYA to only raise it 15, and I don't think I have that many socks without holes in them. So I use a Tshirt. Plus, I like that it's doubled up for redundancy. But it can also be scaled down with socks. So I measure out my dose and...

Just MMOB-ing taking my daughter from her after school activity to her after - after school activity and I was pulled back in. I just can't get away from this place.

Greetings folks !!!! The PoolMath application recently underwent a major update, transitioning from an older mobile development framework to a newer one. This shift was essential due to the discontinuation of support for the previous framework, necessitating a move to a more advanced and...

Your weather is drunk and causing a mess in my yard. Please come pick it up at once.

The 25lb bag randomly came up as a suggestion while I was buying light bulbs and the price was too good to pass up. I needed a small bag to finish the season and it was $5/lb at Walmart. HD was $6 or $7. Their 25 lb bag of Calcium is $49 at the moment and I'm happy with that too.

Step 1: buy intelliflo Step 2: aim returns up Step 3: let er rip

Happy Weekend folks !!! I was today years old when I learned the caps on the CYA bottle and squirter bottle are interchangeable. The pointy tip made it much easier to add the appropriate 50% of R-0013 instead of pouring too many glugs. Then, the cap meant I didn't have to put my...

Folks I've stumbled upon something that I now believe is more common. Twice this week, and 5 times this season (maybe more), a deluge of rain hit during my SWGs 12 hour self check and it tripped the low salt alarm. Had I not caught it, I would have lost 12 hours of production until the...

This is crazy being so far downwind. It smells like it's a few houses over.

We got considerable rain last night and the water level was above the skimmer opening, so I started draining. It was still pouring so I went inside and flopped on the couch to see what y'all were doing. 10 to 15 mins later I went back out to find the pump running dry. I always...

The cover is still on and the skimmer has an oil slick and I don't have any tennis balls yet this season. It's been running for a day and I just want a round about baseline to get an idea where I'm at. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

Hey folks !!! We have a pool math forum now so we can teach the ins and outs for new folks, and maybe even learn some new tricks for the existing folks. To start it off, please watch the tutorial here : Pool Math It's simple stuff and you can play with the various fields to get better...

Today was the day for closing and it went great with a 6HP shop vac. I hooked my blower up for fun after, and there really wasn't much left but some spray. Anywho I wanted to do a write up for all the folks wondering if they could save a chunk of change and tackle their own closing...

Hey all. Our friend @B.lu needs some help. So we have a possible malfunctioning flow switch to activate so low. At least, unless her pool has stupid flow at 450 RPMs with the 3HP intelliflow. At first I was thinking the LCD screen had an issue and wasn't showing the '1' of 1450 RPMs...

Be there. Enter for a chance to win

Hey folks !!! Let's start a fun one for those TFP quotes that hammered it home like no other. I'm not talking about 'Stay out the pool store', I'm talking about the game 7 walkoff home runs. If someone took you deep, post it up. To start off, I'll throw 3 out there : 'When I get out...

Took a 2 day road trip and picked a hotel specifically for the pool for something to do in the middle of nowhere.............

Hard work pays off folks

Nobody : Nobody for a year : Komatsu: let me sing you the songs of my people.

Hey all !!! I had a few days off and this morning I saw several phishing texts on my Company cellphone. With the cyberwars afoot, the timing was, well, right on time. One of them was the best I've seen in a long time from USPS. They were regretting to inform me that my package...

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, AH-64 Apache attack helicopters…… It’s that time of year again with an influx of newbs either getting a late start or coming to us trying to undo what hasn’t been working. First of all, I’d like to welcome you all. You’re gonna love it here. We will...

Hey all !! It seems like forever ago that we saw warm places freeze like they shouldn’t have. Take a few moments this weekend in beautiful weather to check/download your equipment manuals to find all the drain plugs. Each the pump, filter and heater should have 2 locations. When many...
