Thank you for your feedback. I'll study up on the ascorbic acid treatment and do it in March or April.

I thought I posted this on Tuesday. Apparently I didn't hit the post reply button. I look forward to your suggestions.

What I'm hearing from you doesn't appear very promising. Maybe I'll just have to live with it the way it is (other than have the tile cleaned with Maxx Strip -- I got a referral from the distributor). I replastered the pool 8 years ago and don't plan on redoing it in the near future. I'm open to...

Thank you for your referral. I'll check into it.

It appears all options will be potentially damaging and labor intensive. I'm on a hillside, so the water table won't cause the pool to rise. I'm sensing draining and then sanding with diamond pad sanders would probably be best. That way, the problems can be spot cleaned with the least damage to...

I know the pool cleaner didn't cause the scale, but it could have lessened the likelihood of it sticking to the walls, as the tenants never brush down the pool. Water is very hard out here. I don't have a current water test result, but I can get a reading when I go there next Tuesday.

I have a pool at my rental in Saugus, CA that I'd like to have acid washed. I found someone to clean the tile, but I'd like to have a recommendation for someone to acid wash the pool. My old Phoenix pool cleaner did a lousy job on the sides, so I have scale built up on the sides. Now that I've...

I haven't heard back from @bdavis466 and I'm not hearing from anyone else. There must be someone in Southern California who can recommend a good pool tech who uses Kieserite for pool tile.

I'll stick with bulbs specifically manufactured for pools. I purchased the J&J Electronics bulb.

AQLighting doesn't carry replacement pool bulbs, but they say they'll check with their supplier to see if they carry any. My local pool supply store only sells Chinese bulbs. 1poolman1 Thank you for your recommendation of the J&J Electronics bulb.

Thank you

I was hoping to get feedback from multiple sources rather than just buy whatever the store has in stock. I guess coming here was a waste of time.

I was looking for recommendations of manufacturers of reasonably priced quality products, so I could do further research on my own. I wasn't asking anyone to spoonfeed me. I'm sorry I didn't word my question exactly as you felt it should have been asked. When people ask me questions without...

If you read what I posted, I did say I'm only looking for one bulb, not the whole assembly. I can't give you the wattage, as I don't know what the wattage is. It is a standard E26 base and 120V. I will be replacing the bulb myself, as I have in the past, though in the past I just went to my...

Calling everything fake junk doesn't help me find something I can rely on.

In reading the reviews, it seems a lot of people are experiencing the LED bulbs going out in less than a year. I'd like to know which manufacturers are more reliable. I've seen recommendations for Broadroad, QCYYQYT, Yu Meil, Bonbo, Toveenen and Allisable, yet there are complaints about all of...

I need to replace the bulb in the pool, and I'm confused with the arguments about incandescent vs LED. This is a rental, so I don't want my tenants to be playing with color combinations. I merely want a clear or blue light. People comment on the reliability of LED bulbs, saying they are...

I need to drain and acid wash the pool at my rental this spring, so it's time for me to locate a service to do it for me. I also want to clean the tile at the same time, yet I haven't found anyone who uses Kieserite. The pool is just north of the San Fernando Valley. Are there people you can...

8 new items by Barry Levine I thought I'd add photos of the final installation. When people swim, the cable can be drawn up and coiled inside the deck box, so it is out of the way and stays clean. I believe I've also come up with a solution I've seen so many people complaining about (cleaners...

Thank you. Apparently, there's no reason to go beyond my 14 gauge extension cord.

Since this is at a rental house, I can't predict where people will walk, so I played it safe.

It is true I questioned some of the pilots' common sense. Some would get drunk and take straight O2 to sober up, but they ended up drunk again when they got to altitude. The Iranian pilots tended to get lost in the air and panic. The Norwegians had to be tied spread eagle on their beds when they...

I guess, like Maytronics, I care about liability. Rather than have a trip hazard from a cable lying on top of a sidewalk, I tunneled under the sidewalk and inserted a length of PVC conduit. The conduit was used for 3 reasons. One is the cable isn't meant to be directly buried in dirt, another is...

Jim, based on your photo, let me share another incident. While in pilot training in the Air Force, I questioned my instructor pilot about a particular emergency procedure. I said "If I follow this emergency procedure in this situation, I'll kill myself." He responded with "Yes, that's right, but...

Why not just worry we'll throw our furnace into the pool to heat it up? My son was once called to work for an emergency. They had to prevent a satellite from dropping into the atmosphere and burning up. After driving across town to fix the problem, he looked at the equipment and said "It would...

GKW, I appreciate your willingness to measure the amps drawn. Do you also have the Nautilus CC Pro? If not, are there the same number and types of motors in yours? I already have the 14 gauge extension cord, so if I don't have to buy another, that would be helpful. Now that I'm retired, I do my...
