I've been a bad boy and have been relying on flow switch for cell operation. Want to use the mechanical timer that is not in use as primary now. ChatGPT has given a great starting point but looking for any instruction from the smart folks here.

Pretty experienced at this but getting around to dialing in post AZ winter here. PH is consistently testing high. I'm done adding anything as of right now, is it possible my reagents have expired? You can see my logs. I've added a bunch of MA and liquid chlorine. Both were just bought the...

So I got a new wireless thermometer and it finds its way into the skimmer. I can't just fix it to the wall somewhere due to the electric robot. Is there any negative to keeping it in the skimmer? Deep thoughts on a Saturday evening.

This is how yesterday morning started. Yes that is my laptop sliding out of my backpack into the pool. Then me jumping in after it with phone in pocket.

So recently in addition to my skimmer issues (other thread), my equipment will start up and its apparently not priming. Pump will run in prime 'mode' at startup and you can hear that its not getting water like normal. Then eventually all heck will break lost at the returns and massive amounts...

Skimmer diverter is randomly shutting. Its been doing it for the last few months. At least a couple times a week. I've made a habit of checking before work to ensure that its not doing it at pump start and I've never found it not working as it should. Like tonight though, I came home from...

Emptying pump basket this morning. Everything sounded normal prior to shutting pump off. Emptied basket and resintalled/re-started pump. Pump wasn't priming or drawing water like normal. Shut it off right away, checked everything over. Nothing in the impeller that i could feel. Re-started...

2.2 inches in less than two hours. Got pretty nuts last night here in Vail, AZ. Lost power for a few hours.

Went out this morning and checked the cell panel only to see hot. That's a first. Flashing generating light and 'hot'. Cycled off to on and it cleared. Double checked the plates but they were pristine. Guess I need to keep an eye on it. Edit. Hot warning back on when I came back home...

It appears the site cert is outdated

Starting up a cold tub we have at work for after workout use. It's 477 gallons has a filter system. Any special considerations for colder (40 degrees) setups? Also, any way to vacuum with water in it? Probably easier to just drain and re-fill when it gets enough sand in it. Its a ColdTub...

Just in case you were doubting the strength/danger of your acid 😀. Picked up a resupply of acid from Home Depot. I think the boxes got rained on because all the boxes were crumbled and most of the jugs were stand alone zip tied together to sell as packs. Picked the 4 best looking jugs and home...

Woke up to 8 inches of snow in backyard. Snowman pool is not mine.

We're looking to adopt a dog soon. We have a pretty small backyard mostly taken up by the pool but has a strip of trees/turf and dirt that will be his "open the door and go pee quick". Kind of a dumb question as it's going to come down to training or ultimately a fence around the pool to...

As you can see from my logs, trying to get my TA down to prep for borates. If I read everything right, I want my TA to be 70-80 and then add the borates right? I got the granular stuff from Dudadiesel. I'm down to 7.0 PH and am aerating using a utility pump and hose. Additionally, why...

I’ve bled any air from system but still get these bubbles from returns at anything below 2000 rpms. Has been this way since build 4 years ago. Disappointed because rest of water is crystal clear. Tried posting the video but wouldn't allow me.

Will be 5th year on Hayward Aqua Rite (T-9). Its been in +700 CH water for at least 3 of those years. I have since just drained/filled. Water is testing at 3200 with taylor drop test. Cell is reading 2400 consistently now and stays at that after resetting at the console. Salt and inspect...

Solar covers. 5th pool summer coming up down here in Tucson, AZ. Used the solar cover provided by builder religiously. I have a rectangle with a couple stair/ledge cutouts so its really easy to pull/place. Our back yard gets sun the entire day and has no shade. I would just fold it a bit...

Holy Crud. Through lots of reading here I've seen it mentioned to never buy chemicals with "pool" labels. Had to drain and fill and went to walmart to get some bleach. While in the pool aisle I see pool bleach. It's $16.22 for 120 ounces at 6.5%. Wandered over to cleaning aisle and they had...

Drained my pool after years of battling 700+ CH. Scrubbed the tile and sprayed down the pool and drained every last bit of water. Re-filling now but through my softener so its slow going. I've searched and looked through some older threads on chems order but want to confirm. Salt and CYA...

Filled in late summer 2018 with half "soft" and half hard water due to not understanding pool fill was not going through softener and also the softener regen process. CH is 800. Winter here in southern AZ so figured I'd do it in the cooler months. Waiting on answer from sewer folks about if...

Moving cell to horizontal versus vertical as vertical it's bottom connection is below ground level. How do I cut and reuse the bottom union portion. Doesn't look like something stores just carry (or maybe they do). Do I cut a length before the cell connection and then just use a union on the...

Never got around to finishing the landscaping around the pool equipment. My issue is they installed the SWG about 2-3 inches below ground level as pictured. When removing it to maintain, it becomes a mess from water coming out of pool side pipe. Looking for landscaping/plumbing routing...

So 4 year old pool. 10,500 gallons. Have always noticed small white flakes that i assume are from the cell. Pool is kept balanced weekly but in the past I have done acid once a week to correct the high PH which obviously wasn't the right way to do it. We had to partially drain for TDS late...
