Perfect, never knew this function was in Pool Math! Plus the calculate bleach price.

I will always do a SLAM when opening the pool and after pool parties. My pool is open year round (not covered) and I pull the SWG cell in the fall and usually wait till May to put it back. So between May and September a few SLAMS. The rest of the year I will be adding ~10 gals of Chlorine...

So I've been comparing chlorine and wonder if someone had already done the analysis. In the Swim Super Shock Calcium Hypo 1# 70% available chlorine $6 # Members Mark Sodium Di Chlor 1# 55.5% available chlorine $5.42 # Pool Essentials Sodium Hypo 10% 1 gal $5.47 I prefer not to run calcium...

Since Jandy has gone to the dealer only parts model its been a real PITA. My multiport valve appears to have cracked. Now finding a replacement for DEV60 DE filter is next to impossible. The part is BWVL-MPV Any ideas or suggestions. My builder used all Jandy parts, 2 years later they make...

What tubing are you using with the pinch valve?

Thanks guys, I ended up downloading the US plastics catalog and was able to find the fittings much easier. Unfortunately they only ship UPS so a ~$10 min shipping. I am getting several things so not too bad. I'm planning to get polypropylene fittings which should last longer than nylon. Jaco...

Any tips on finding 1/4" MPT X 1/4" compression type plastic fitting. The only ones I am finding are the sharkbite push to fit type fittings. Using flexible tubing it's pulling some air bubble into the pump basket. I am going to use it for acid dosing. I found this 5 gal HDPE jerrican on...

I am having a similar issue. A quart of MA every 2-3 days in a SWG 15K River Rok pool. My TA is holding steady at 80 despite the MA additions. If I can't get get the TA down to 50-60 (or if I do and still have high pH) I am considering a Stenner pump for daily MA addition. My fill water TA is...

Where's the best deal on these? I priced a 45MP2 and a 7.5 gal tank for a bit less than $375 delivered. Right now I'm adding about a quart of MA every 2 days to maintain 7.4-7.6 in a 3 month old 15K River Rok SWG pool. TA is 80 and is holding steady with the amount of acid I'm adding. pH will...

Yes, it definitely was in the 12, 3, 6, & 9 positions on 3 of the 18 heads. Salt had not been added the first time it appeared. I was suspicious of CYA since it seemed to appear shortly after adding it. It was rough and felt very much like salt. It was on the surface of the Rok finish. Thanks...

The PB came back today and scrubbed the white areas with a small 5" SS pool brush and the white came off with a bit of elbow grease. We will see if it comes back.

I think you will be happy with the scaled down size. Still 50 sq/ft vs 126 sq/ft which is huge!

Tested with Taylor K-2006 FC 3.0-5.0 pH is fluctuating between 7.4-8.0 TA 80 CH 190 CYA 70 Salt 3000

Our pool is just over a month old. Finish is River Rok. Water is salt. CH is just under 200 and pH is kept below 8 with usually every 3 day MA additions. I'm getting a white scale around a few of the in floor jets. It's like the high velocity water is depositing scale on the rough edges of he...

I like our tanning ledge. We went smaller and are happy we did. It measures 5' x 6', a good compromise. Not intended for loungers. It's a good entry/exit location and we all use it as a dive in platform. Our neighbors have a huge tanning ledge and it ends up being wasted space. It's also...

I'm looking to stock up on liquid chlorine. The sticky up top is from last year. Is there a thread with current location/prices? EDIT: FOUND IT http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/111189-2016-bleach-prices

Thanks for your reply. I am pretty much sold on the infloor for a few reasons. First, I hate having to pull a robot or swim around it. Next the heating and water distribution through the floor just makes sense to me. What is your reasoning for the wall returns? Thanks again.

My pool build is getting ready to be under way. It will have a Paramount infloor cleaning system and the PB has spec'd a 2 HP single speed Jandy Stealth pump. He rationalizes the single speed pump by saying that the infloor won't be of any use at lower RPM's/flow rate, which makes sense...

A relative has salt in the DFW area with OK flagstone and they are experiencing flaking of their flagstone. They are using a Nature2 Soft. They are finding pieces of the flagstone in the pool as well. Spoke with our PB today and we can go with the Jandy Tru Clear salt chlorinator (they use all...

Thanks for the replies. What our PB and from my understanding many pool builders are having problems with is the salt water spalling the pool deck and coping. We currently have travertine spec'd for our coping and salt concrete for the deck. It is a concern for us. However, we actually like...

We are in the final stages before actual construction starts on our 17'x34' free form sports (3.5'/5.5'/5') 13K gallon w/ Paramount infloor, River Rok, heater, w/ DE filter. The PB has spec'd an ozone w/ UV system @ $1500. After spending several hours on this site I'm finding there seems to...
