Hey everybody !!!! Glad to see the site is still doing so well. It has been a while since my last visit but had a few minutes and thought I would pop in to say hello to my pool friends. What's up???? :-D

FYI, these are pics of James Weaver's pool.... Hello everyone. I am providing some assistance to my father who is fairly new to the site. Please see some of the attached photos for viewing: I will work on getting additional pics

Just checked in to say hello. 2nd day back to work (never lost power- go figure). Still without power at the house. Not expected to have any back until October according to the line crews in the area. On a pool note, thankfully I heavily chlorinated the pool before the storm. Besides the...

Fairly new to Salt Pools (2 yrs running). Within the last 2 months of heavy pool use, splashout, evaporation, etc. I have not added an ounce of salt. Generator is set at 35% for summer months. TC runs 4-5 constant. Readout on my PS-8 has not changed from 3500 since March. Salt test strips...

Received this in an email. Thought it was fitting to share. Should stir some controversy.... We are about to enter the summer soon and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a...

Well, it is nice to know that I am not alone. I still have to chalk up the best one when my previous lab chewed the break lines on my truck. RT - No, she did not jump in. She simply grabbed the line from the side of the pool and went to town. All in all, I would not trade her for the...

I have a new one for you. Your Black Lab manages to grab your Polaris out of the pool, Chew the hose into a million pieces. Mind you, the pool is on and running, along with the booster. You come home to water pouring out of your front yard and wonder what the heck is going on. Price of a new...

I don't think anyone has asked this question yet... What Strength of Acid are you using?????

Re: do you have? Yes, that is a deep end. I have 2 love benches in the pool. The one on the left has an additional step added to make it a little easier to get out of the pool. Works great for the older folks and my lab. Good luck with your decisions.

My pool is a 22 x 34 custom built. Although I went with white plaster, I would suggest at least 3 lights in the pool with the darker finish you plan to use. Obviously the darker finish will tend to absorb the light and not reflect it. Therefore, another one(3 lights + 1 spa) would help to...

Make small adjustments when you screw in/out the little buoy on the top. Also, small adjustments on the outlet port on the back of the unit itself. A little goes a long way.

NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO TRUNKS.... NO PROBLEM

Mark, Welcome to TFP. Glad you got registered. I see a few people have already responded. I live in Pearland and used Monterey Bay. Dwayne and Brenda McNeil did a wonderful job on my build. I could not be happier. I went out for 5 different quotes before making a decision. Of those, and...

Top 10, huh??? The Polaris 280... The best underwater SURF SLED on the market. I am still trying to master hanging on when it climbs the wall. KAWABUNGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I am not mistaken for SHREK when I exit the pool.

Happy New Year back to everyone as well. I will be a little lighter in the pocket come next month when the gas bill arrives. Had a pool party last weekend. Had the pool @ 85 degrees and the Spa @ 99 Degrees. Someone needs to invent a grill top that fits above the heater vent, yet still...

I have both brands in my equipment. Very easy to work on, maintain, and service. Knock on wood, mine have been in service for over a year now without any warranty repairs/ issues. Best of luck with your choices. Welcome to TFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Besides the Ph rising, salt/ CYA dropping with rain, my chemistry has been within bounds. I can see too that I forgot to upload some shots of the screen. Everytime I look at it, it looks like the weld (used to weld the screen) is what is rusting out... not the screen itself.

Please provide reasoning behind your opinion.

POOL MAINTENANCE?????? I thought that Automatic Floor sweeper, Automatic Chlorine Generator, automated system with built in timers would maintain the pool. My Pool Builder never mentioned Maintenance......

You are well within the warranty period. Definitely worth a phone call to your PB or support. Good luck and keep us posted.

How old are your lights???? I have looked back through all of the manuals and have no other suggestions. Perhaps someone else will chime in and offer suggestions.

Welcome to TFP. I have spent many of summer months in Pattaya. My parents were Ex-Pats working a Joint Venture for several years. I took every opportunity I could to visit and learn the Thai culture. Wonderful friendly people and a beautiful Country. Pics look great. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like they are stuck in Disco Mode. You mention switching within 10 seconds. If I wait 10 seconds, mine will stay in that same mode when I turn back on. Have you tried switching on and off instantly????

Vince, funny you mention that. I have owned labs all my life. Very familiar with the chew factor. One funny story I can offer is: One of my labs (Shasta- Black female), chewed the break lines off of my truck. I pulled out of the garage and started down the road as usual only to run a stop...

Well, since we are in dog mode, I also would like to share our newest family member. Meet Maia (Mya). She is a 6 week old Black Lab. My house should be completely chewed on before the end of this week.

Sounds a little high but still within reason. Is your other decking already poured an in place??? You may be running into Min. order pricing. Good Luck.

Checked mine yesterday. Just with the warm temps we have had the last couple of days, my water temp was at 73 deg. F. I tested the water by throwing my boy in. He stayed in so I figured what the heck. An hour later, we were done.

Welcome to TFP Lumpy. Good luck on new pool ownership. Be sure to post some shots of your build.
