No, I don't plan on adding borates.

I have a Hot Springs Flair (310 gallons, purchased in 2017) that uses the Scepter Salt Cell. Can someone tell me if the following ranges are good for my setup? CYA 30-40 FC 2-6 (Will be dependent on CYA) PH 7.2-7.8 TA 50-90 CH ^100 (am I understanding correctly that, let's say it's at 100 and...

I started a SLAM but I was also checking CYA during it. At one point it raised so I entered that into the app. Then I read somewhere on here, I guess a forum post, that said to just use the original CYA number prior to the SLAM. Which is correct? I am still SLAMMING currently and need to know if...

I'm wondering if there is a way to incorporate what is needed for the sails with a pool fence. I've seen them attached to taller/privacy type fencing.

I'm not really sure where to begin with this planning and feel overwhelmed. Is a general contractor someone I can contact to help design/plan, and execute all of these things?

I believe I do have pictures of the pipes.

1a)Considering shade sails, as the umbrella can rarely be used due to wind. We do get strong winds, so if those are something that need taken down during strong winds, I would need some kind of setup that would make it easy to do for someone that is not strong. 1b)shade from the sun for the...

Thanks everyone!!

Yeah, the water and the fiberglass all look good, no black stuff. But I will try your suggestion with the bleach and also work on getting that CYA up. Thanks for the info!

I have some black looking stuff on some of my concrete and the track of my auto cover. I did the scrape test on a white piece of paper but couldn't get much on there. It didn't leave green behind, but brown. We do have some lawn treatments but I'm not sure what they use. Before reading about...

Thank you!

I just added my bleach for slamming. I have an autocover that rests on the top of the water. I will have to close it while asleep overnight, and when no one is home (probably for a couple hours tomorrow morning), but other than that, do I need to keep the cover open or closed?

Awesome, thank you!

pacman, Can you give the website or phone number to where you ordered from? There are no retailers anywhere near me so I'll have to have a store ship it. Thanks!

Awesome, thank you!

So, we went with the Kreepy Krauly. I know someone who has one and absolutely loves it, no problems at all. Well, it didn't really work for us. So here I am....now ready to get a robotic cleaner. They did end up putting an outlet by the pool, also. About the pool cover, it does rest on the...

Ok. So I've been looking into these cleaners and believe I've narrowed it down to the following: Pentair Kreepy Krauly Warrior, The Pool Cleaner, and Kreepy Krauly Great White. Given the pump information I have (1hp Whisperflo (not variable speed), would cleaners such as these be able to...

Thank you, needsajet, for those cleaner suggestions. I'll be looking into them. If I understand correctly, the pool will have a dedicated vacuum port, but there won't be a booster pump. I'm wondering if that port will be able to use as-is or if there are any other things that have to be done...

The outlet is over 40' away from the pool, so at least for now, it looks like suction is the way to go.

I'll be having my first pool installed, hopefully next month. Our pool will be fiberglass, with some ledges and steps, as well as a hydramatic auto cover. I have a couple of questions about selecting a pool cleaner. I do like the idea of the robots, but I'm not sure that the cords will be...

Just signed the contract last weekend for our first pool. (I'll start posting in Under Construction once we get closer). We chose the Viking Empress pool. We will have a SWG and an Auto Cover. I have a corgi who I hope will enjoy the pool with me and make use of the tanning ledge. :p...
