Check those DE filters regardless of what the pressure gauge says! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The flow light is solid and the red and green salt lights are flashing. Manually tested salt at 3400. Opened the unit and found nothing in the blades but a rusty colored substance on the sensor. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone know anything about palm trees? These were planted in February. They continue to grow new fronds but when the fronds come out they start to bend. At first I think it was getting too much water after planting and then with recent rains. Now I'm thinking it is getting too little water. I...

It seems my PH and TA will not stabilize and slowly rise every week. What could be causing this? I'll attach today's numbers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We are meeting landscapers tomorrow. Living in Texas, and me loving California, we are wanting our backyard to look as Cali as possible. Palms and banana tress are a must so far. Not sure how many yet but Windmill and Pinto palms are in the short list. Anyone have any suggestions or pics that we...

Should a pool with a DE filter look like this? I always see things floating when I turn the light on. The PB said he back washed the filter when they did the acid was a couple weeks ago. I figured with a DE filter there wouldn't be anything in the water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I measured today and my calcium hardness was 250. I measured twice just to make sure. It had been around 350. What would cause such a drop? Poolmath says I need to add about 25lbs to get it back into range. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can anyone recommend a sealer and enhancer for stone? The PB sealed the stone around the pool but we want to seal the newly installed pavers around the flower beds. My wife likes the wet, dark look so it would need to be an enhancer. I've read some good reviews on the Aqua Mix brand at Home Depot.

We're finally getting the backyard put back together. Won't be doing any real planting until the spring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does this look like normal mottling? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do I tell if my main drains are working? There is a lot of sediment in the bottom from where I've brushed the plaster and from the rock being sealed. It seems that it has accumulated at the main drains. I would think that it would be wicked in and filtered. Am I wrong on how this works...

The pool has been up and running for exactly 24 hours. The builder put in some tabs, acid, and some sort of shock. There is no salt in the pool yet. Here's what I just tested: FC: 9 CL: >5 PH: >8.2 CH: 375 TA: 140 CYA: 35 CC: .5 Advice please... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone know of a good place to buy reasonable priced pool furniture in North Texas or online? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well the pool will be filled tomorrow and the PB will be back for startup. He's already put something in the bottom of the pool while its filling and dropped off the rest of the chemicals. Not happy about the tabs though. Can't wait to get rid of those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is everyone doing about where the gutters go into the deck drains? It's not a very aesthetically pleasing accessory even though it serves a good purpose. I thought about having them spray it with the Kooldeck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What tests should I run before the pool is filled? I just got my TF-100.

Anyone have a tv mounted outside? I really don't want to spend 2K for an "outdoor" tv. I read that the biggest killer of tvs is heat. I know they make covers and it would be under my back patio which is protected from the elements. I was thinking if I've got to drop a few hundred bucks every few...

Hello everyone, First pool being built as we speak. Set the rebar and waiting on electrical and gunite. I'll post pics when I have time of the progress. I'm excited to have my first pool.
