I have left my Bot in the pool since the beginning of the season I run it most every day. I only clean it out when a basket is full. I’m looking for a multi step program to stop abusing the little guy! The problem is he just takes it like the Ever Ready bunny. Before anyone calls a Robot...

Moderator Note - this side discussion moved out of this thread: IG pump plugged into outlet - Page 2 RE: can’t find existing Bonding? We’re installing a SS Stair Railing via boring holes in the pavers to install the rail anchors, which need to be bonded. Not being sure if we’re going to be...

Our pool does not have a stair railing & as we get older we're looking for a little support while getting out of the pool.. The pool has wedding cake type stairs and we would be mounting the rail over the center of the steps. My wife really like the ART1004 & i'm looking for feedback from...

So I’m prepping the pool for tomorrows closing and getting around to removing things I just don’t pay attention to on a regular basis. I have to say that the pool has been in stellar condition all summer with just liquid chlorine & M/A use. Water is crystal clear & never a hint of algae. I...

I do feel bad but a recent injury to my right arm is preventing me from using the leaf rake for any length of time. The little guy is taking it in stride, hasn’t asked to unionize yet! Both he & I are glad the pool will be covered in about a week

I guess the wind was stronger that I expected last night As soon as the Lighting stops I'll go in & close it for recovery

I just had to share although I’m not sure my words will make it happen There are certain ‘things’ in life that gives one unexplained joy. I’m not talking about the obvious such as family, friends, dogs etc, But objects Example: After decades of driving SUVs, Minivans etc I bought a way to...

I'm trying to figure what model Hayward sand filter i have There is nothing on it to show what model it is, it looks exactly like this S200? does anyone know if the S200 Is/was the largest Hayward filter of this type?

Ok, so I just opened up the pool and one of the returns was leaking like a Geyser . Removed a bunch of the pavers and found that when my pool repair company re-installed the Loop-Loc last year they drilled into one of the returns to set one of the anchors. After some digging, cutting, etc...

I have noticed that after i make a post there seems to be quite a bit of blank lines before my sig? Is this normal or is there a setting I can change? Example: www.troublefreepool.com/threads/87205-Thinking-about-a-no-cover-close-next-fall?p=747141#post747141 Edit, i see i didnt need the link...

I just bought a Hayward SP2600VSP to take advantage of a $450 PSE&G rebate, Net cost $200 delivered. :cool: I wanted to confirm the warranty would be valid buying from the Net reseller as well as how long the warranty is. I called Hayward and the guy at Customer support said no issues with a...

Ok, so how is this going to screw up the Chemistry? I know that most cooling/lubing systems in today's car are sealed but something has to leak? Looks like a new build? Will a total drain & cleaning be needed...

I’m on the fence about upgrading to the 6 or 6+ from a 5 and if anyone gets the new 6/6+ tomorrow I’d like some real word feedback. Thanks

Since we redid the Pavers around the pool this year I will need to get a bunch of LoopLoc anchors & paver shafts/Pipes. Any suggestions as to a good source? Also is anyone using the Masonry Anchor Collars? I have read mix reviews, some saying it makes the anchor look worse?

This year my pool guy sold me and installed a Haywood chlorine feeder, said since we’re changing all the plumbing it’s a good time to do it. Bought a bucket of pucks and filled it up a couple of times before I found this site. Now that I’m a bleach bum I have a half a bucket of pucks left...

I have gotten into a routine of using a sports bottle to collect sample water, perform the tests and dumping the samples into a Tupperware bowl. Is mixing the water and regents a bad thing?

Some background: Pool was close for 8 years, filled with water & LoopLoc cover. Very dark finish Gunite. Had a local PB drain & acid wash as well as re-plumb all the above ground stuff. We anticipated the need for Marble Dusting, I assume it the same as Plastering? After the cleaning the PB...

After major paver (Cambridge) work and a lot of tree cutting we have an incredible Pool area. But my wife is not a happy camper as some of the Pine trees that were trimmed are now ‘leaking’ on the new pavers! We were told that our Tree guy needs to put ‘Pine Tar’ on the open wounds & I have a...

Pool is crystal clear & i don't want to mess up a good thing ;) FC-3ppm Cc-.5 PH-7.8 TA--60 CH-400 CYA-45 If I read the Pool Math Calc right I need to add about 117oz’s of Baking soda to raise my TA to 80? Am I reading it right?

With all the rain we’ve been getting I’ve been going out to the pool early every AM and lowering the water level via backwash, rinse and finally waste. I figured ‘what the he!!’ it cant hurt, but I remember someone saying that a little crud in the Filter helps it filter. PSI is steady at 15...

Some background, we opened the pool after be closed for 8+ years, Had a local pool contractor clean the swamp, had new above ground plumbing work done, replaced sand in Filter, new multiport & had the heater rebuilt. They added a chlorinator, which I filled with pucks. Water has been crystal...
