Hi. I have noticed hard calcium built up in 2-3 areas of my pool waterline tile grout. I keep on removing it but 4-5 month later it shows up again. This morning I drained the pool a couple inches below tiles (both sides pool and spa) and scraped the calcium off. I also thought it might be a...

Hi, Going thru my first winter with a SWCG & Stenner acid pump injection and was wondering if there is any special care needed for a hard freeze (or power loss during a freeze) . For the Stenner, should I go as far as disconnecting the tubing, emptying the tank (50% acid; 50% water); power off...

HI. so i started my Circupool SWCG yesterday morning and had it set to run for 11h yesterday (my pump runs 12h). Before starting, i tested chlorine at 3.2ppm (Yesterday morning). I put the setting to 75%. This morning, my chlorine level was at 5.2. Circupool instructions says to wait a couple of...

When we installed our pool heater (Raypak P-R206A-EN-X) 2 years ago, it was recommended to also install 2 by pass valves in the plumbing. question : if you close the in/out valves and bypass the heater completely (during the summer), do you need to drain the water from the heater/pipes inside...

So I decided to go with an SWCG. Planning on getting the Circupool RJ-60+ Here is the way I plan on setting it up. i attached 2 pictures of how my pool equipment is laid out and based on that I may need to get also the vertical set up kit. If anyone has some input as to what other options they...

Was going to install a double Stenner pump for MA & LC injection, but the more I read about SWCG, the more I am getting convinced that may be a better way for the chlorine part. Still planning on using Stenner pump for MA. The only thing that scares me is the PH issue. From my readings, PH seems...

So the pool has been re-plastered (in my 4th week) and I want to automate the PH control/MA addition. Planning on doing the same for chlorine if it works for MA. I read a lot about these Stenner pumps, but have a hard time on deciding which type is best suited for MA addition. Any...

Hi. So I am going thru a re-plaster on one of my rental properties and am faced with some issues with the answers I get from my Pool Contractor (PC) this is a 22K in ground pool. Based on contractor measurements, 575sqft. we did a full chip out. I had the contractor specify the Brand of plaster...

Just about finished with our remodel. thinking about sealing our coping and split face. Just noticed there are a so many different types of sealants. Any suggestions on what brand, type (water based, silicone based, acrylic) of sealant or any other tips on sealing or not. -- Coping is Keystone...

So we finally are getting our larger travertine tiles for the raised pool walls and spa. I notice that when they installed the coping around the pool (lower beam with 12x12x1 travertine tiles), (our grout lines are approximately 1/4" wide) they did not fill the entire height of the travertine...

New issue arising after the coping was installed and the deck contractor came by. So we had 12x12 coping installed but the pool beam is wider by about 2 inches!!! Remodeler never mentioned this would happen (guess he did not know the beam was that wide since we had flagstone previously). we are...

we have a 25y old free form pool that we are remodeling; going thru the pains to make sure that the subs the contractor uses know what they are doing and doing it the way it's for the long term, not just to "look good" for the short term. If you have done deck remodeling while doing pool...

Hi. we are replastering our pool and re-doing/pouring a new deck. Today the electrician was here and I am a little skeptical about the bonding; he attached a #8 bare copper wire to the rebars that extend out from the bond beam (every other 2 re-bars for a total of 6). BUT we only had these...

we have a 25y old free form pool that we are remodeling; going thru the pains to make sure that the subs the contractor uses know what they are doing and doing it the way it's for the long term, not just to "look good" for the short term. So my first question is : if you have done deck...
