I hit up one of the Home Depot's in Memphis, TN last night looking for this deal. Had to get an associate to get additional boxes off the top shelf. Date codes were all from April 2018. Three one gallon jugs of 10% for $9.98. No one was aware of any bulk discount and there was nothing popped...

Thanks Mr. Bruce. I ended up finding the thread on the Dolphin S200. Called Marina Pools & Patio and ordered me one yesterday. I figure that if I ended up spending $300 on a replacement motor, then something else would just end up broken and by that time I would have been better off just...

All, I need some advice from the TFP community. I've been thinking about what to do all weekend and I just can't make up my mind! Purchased my first robotic pool cleaner, a Pentair Kreepy Krauly Prowler 820 in June of 2014 from Hydropool.com for $734 with a $100 rebate offer from Pentair...

I agree 100% about the installer not doing a good job. There is something about the service industry in the Memphis area.... They all suck. Plumbers, HVAC, pool contractors, mechanics, etc. Every single one of them that I have dealt with over the years have always been the type to cut...

I read another forum tonight that said to drain the water below the skimmer and then use aquarium silicone on the rust. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So they way mine looks is I have the skimmer plate with screws, then the liner, then the nasty exposed pool wall, then the skimmer. I just had the liner installed last year. I don't know why the installer didn't do something about that nasty rusty ****. I'll take a picture of it when I get...

I ordered new screws and a face plate. Two questions: will removing these screws cause my liner to slip away from the skimmer and should I drain the water down below the skimmer to install the faceplate? Not sure if the faceplate forms a water tight seal around the skimmer plate or if it's...

Found one on the Amazons! Thanks everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmm, where would one buy a cover plate for the skimmer plate? I never even knew they had something like that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know what chemical I could use to get this rust stain off my skimmer plate? Obviously I don't want to use a chemical that's going to screw with my water chemistry. Thanks! Would some ascorbic acid do the trick...

Maybe I should have worded it differently. I wasn't asking "hey will 20ppm damage my liner" i was asking is there any negative impact to having such a low reading water quality wise and is there any benefit to having a higher reading. So it only effects foaming and that's it. Thanks for the help.

I've already read that it didn't matter for vinyl liners I was just wondering if it was normal for such extremely low CH readings. I just assumed that my water would be somewhere in that general range.

I see that it says CH doesn't really matter for vinyl liners but there is still a recommend range of 200 & 400ppm. I've tested pool water twice and tested the fill water and my CH readings are coming out at 20ppm. Is there any danger for having such a low CH reading? Is there any benefit to...

Yeah, I found that a few days ago which is how I got my numbers. I was just curious how 6% compared to 8.25%. Now I see it's just how much I wanna store which makes no difference to me. I still miss the old Sam's Club days when they sold 4 gallons of Pro Force 6% bleach for like $5.95...

Thank you sir! Looks like I'm headed to the Janitor Supply store this year. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm in Memphis, TN and none of the Leslie's sell liquid chlorine. I did call up a Janitor supply center and they said they would sell me a case (4 128oz bottles) for $8.07. That works out to .26 per oz for 6%. Or I can stick with the Costco stuff (3 121oz bottles) for $8.39 which is .28 per...

I read somewhere on here about how to remove the black ring stain on your tfttestkit tubes but I can't seem to find it.

Has anyone had any luck with the Aqua Chem Scale, Metal, & Stain Control sold at Walmart? I can't find any info on the ingredients and figured someone here would know. Just looking for something a little cheaper and a tad more accessible than ProTeam's Metal Magic.

Man, it should look A LOT better than those after pics you posted. I can still see stains all over the deep end in your after shot. How much AA did you use?

14yrs! Wow! Pretty sure mine is 8yrs old and it's probably going to need to be replaced next year. As far as why you have stains, there are many people here that are more qualified to answer that for you. You mentioned the copper heater and you may need to use something different for copper...

If this is your first time doing an AA treatment, you are going to be amazed at the results. I've had crystal clear water since I bought the house in 2008 and then in 2012, over a period of 3 days all this metal showed up. I have no idea what happened. The second time I did an AA treatment, I...

I am planning to open my pool in a few weeks and I already know I'm going to need to do an AA treatment. My plan is to open, balance the TA & Ph, pour in some algicide and start the AA treatment since the chlorine levels will already be low from being closed. Any reason I should not do this...

Well I figured they could stretch the corners back into place but I don't think can stretch it to but up against the coping. I think they were off on their measurements. My liner is 8yrs old but as you can see it comes all the way up to the coping. My friend's new liner has almost a full inch...

This may not be the right sub forum to post in, but here's the scoop. A friend of mine is in the process of buying a foreclosure and was able to get the bank to install a new liner. He asked that I come by and take a look at everything to make sure everything was in working order before they...
