I'm looking at getting the RJ-60+. This is what my set up looks like. I believe the yellow lines show my return flow to the pool. Does that seem correct? If so, would I need to install it right before the 45 (in the bottom right) goes underground? Or is there a better place? Also, I was...

My 15.6k gallon pool uses 2-3 ppm FC daily this time of year. We are going to be away for several weeks so for the first time in my 3 seasons of pool ownership, I am going to have to bite the bullet and use tablets. We do have an in-line feeder for 3" tablets, but I've just never used it so I...

how do you set up the password to operate the ScreenLogic app remotely?

What RPM setting should I use on my VSP when I backwash the sand filter? (PB did not say.) Also, what RPM should I use to check for the increase in pump pressure to tell when to backwash? As of now, I generally run at 1800 RPM and no pressure ever registers. If I turn it up to 2800, it sits at...

I realize this a question with a lot of variables, but my pool is new and I'm just trying to calibrate my expectations (and planning) for how much LC to have on hand, especially since LC is very difficult to find around town now, so... 15,600 IG with plaster, no SWCG, in the TX sun but I'd say...

Day 60 of 2021? Smells almost like water and 32 oz moved by pool 0.5 ppm. Same thing yesterday. I’m thinking its strength has been compromised. The Pool Essentials LC that I got from Wal-Mart was also 10% and smelled very strong.

When you test, say pH and FC, and decide you need to add something to the pool, do you test-add-retest (same day, but after a period of time) or do you test-add and wait until your next regular testing time (for me, that’s the next morning)? Mainly asking for when adding MA and LC, that change...

Moved from here. I don’t see how to create a new circuit in the ScreenLogic app. Should I be able to do this?

day 5 since filling and the pool company came to begin their magic on the water. (They manage the water for the first 30 days.) I was not here when they came, but I can tell they backwashed the filter, added chlorine (probably a tablet through the feeder) and likely did something to begin...

Ok, the pool is very near 100% full after starting to fill it yesterday morning. My first test using the TF-Pro test kit with SpeedStir resulting in the following: pH: 8.2++ meaning the color was considerably pinker than the 8.2 color on the comparator block Cl: 0 (no surprise, this is fill...

I have read on here that after a new plaster installation, the pump needs to run 24/7 for several days to a week. My question is how often should I need to backwash during the first two to three days? I ask because I may need to be out of town during one or two of the first three days and am...

they arrived unannounced this morning to start the plaster! We are almost there!

If the only (or main) downside to pucks is that they add things to the pool other than just chlorine, why hasn't someone brought to market pucks that are only chlorine? Is there a chemistry reason why this hasn't been done? Well, if the manufacturer is aiming for a type of "one stop shopping"...

So we are brand new to owning a pool. Some details are in our signature (but if I've left off something important, just let me know). Our build is in the home stretch... decking is scheduled to be poured on 7/14 and plaster hopefully next week. Thus, we are probably a couple of weeks away from...

Let's see how this looks.
