    How long can pebletec be without water?

    I'm in Houston and have a few cracked pipes that can't be repaired until next week. My spa has drained about half way, will there be a problem that a portion of the pebbletec will be exposed without water? Thanks for your help.

    Thanks. After I took it apart I realized it was just salt build up in the injector. Working fine again.

    Warranty work

    My pool needs to be drained so the plaster can be fixed. I don't feel I should have to pay for the refill since the plaster company has to fix their mistakes, anyone have experience with this? Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

    Schedule for pool

    I have been losing a lot of fc, I see people say that you should not lose a lot in the winter. I decided to recheck my cya and it is at 40. I have been adding chlorine assuming my cya was 70, this explains the fc loss right? Water looks clear and no cc. Should I keep the cya at 40 or raise it...

    Schedule for pool

    Update: I decided to lower my ta to 80 and see how the ph acted. I aerated until ph was 7.7 and it has stayed there for the last 4 days. It's nice not having to add MA everyday or every other day. I will keep ta at 80 as long as ph stays stable. Thnx for all the help. Sent from my SM-N910P...

    Air bubbles

    I have an spa attached to my pool. When I put the pool in spa mode without the air blower I get air bubbles coming out of the return jets, is this normal? I would think not as there should be no air in the lines with the air blower off. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
