Thank you for your replies. The pool has an auto cover and it stays pretty clean overall so I haven't been dealing with much debris: some grass seed due to nearby vegetation and the insects get in during the night but the Pentair gets much of those. I did the overnight test and there was no...

Hi. I have a System3 DE filter and have been having some problems with it. First, I'm getting more filter medium in the pool than in the past and it is also clogging the pool cleaner inlet screen within a day or so and I have to spray it out regularly for the pool cleaner to function right...

Thanks for your perspective and comments everyone. I somehow overshot the mark on chlorine levels when I added 13 gallons of 6% bleach and ended up initially at 46.5 instead of the 32 or so I was aiming for. Here are my numbers after doing the slam onf 5/28: 5/29 morning FC 46, evening FC 45...

Moved from here. Thanks for the comments on the invalidity of the PH; I was just coming on to the forum to ask that question, as I am 1 day into slamming my pool. Is it possible that I could have had an ongoing contamination issue for an entire summer? Background: Last summer my pool turned...

I didn't mention that my installer did a great job when he got to it and appeared to be well trained by Aquabright. However, the install was 5 months later than agreed and I realized I should have added a timeframe into the contract! We did have some issues with the plaster repair, as the...

Once the surface is prepped and ready to go, they should be able to finish the coating install in a full day. I don't think it will hurt it any if it rains after that first coat. I don't know about rain in between the epoxy coating the first Aquabright coating.

Hi all. I wanted to give back something to this site and forum which has taught me so much as a new pool owner by starting a new post on my EcoFINISH pool and provide a long term periodic update. My pool is 20 years old when I bought it and I came to realize it had a plaster delamination...

I've got a pool with plaster delamination and one of the options is to locate and chip out delamination spots, resurface with plaster, and then coat with eCoFinish Aquabright. I'm concerned that any missed or future delaminations in the plaster could still imprint or show with the Aquabright...

Hi. I am getting quotes on replastering my pool and I've noticed a difference in the removal method. The hammer method seems to reduce the price by $3-4 thousand. The hydroblast method is more expensive but they indicate it is a better method which finds all the weaknesses in the surface...

Doug, Replying to your thread as I am in a similar situation; I have numerous delamination spots in my plaster pool so am getting quotes on it now. I have a quote for an Aquabright finish and it is coming in comparable to hydroblasting and a quartz plaster finish but on the Aquabright it...

I had a pool company come out today and they indicated that I should tear out the plaster and replace it in the Spring time. They believe the prior owners let the pool stay dry for a long time in the summer when they replaced the tile and it has resulted in micro cracking all over the plaster...

Thanks for the reply everyone. So I am understanding from this that there isn't much point in patching the blister spots. I was hoping I could patch these and extend out the time before I need to re-do the whole thing. Give than the plaster coming off is fairly shallow in depth, what is the...

Hi. I have owned this pool for about 3 months now and it looks like I've got plaster delamination. I believe the plaster is original from about 1997. I have one spot where the blister has cracked open and the plaster came off to a depth of about 1/4" and there are more blisters that will...

Hi I am a new pool owner and have been really grateful for the wealth of knowledge on this forum; I've learned a lot in a short period of time and the information here has already saved me a lot of time and money. Thanks!!!:p Here's my issue: I am surprised at the delta between my TFP test kit...

Hi. Since the motor seems to be running fine and turning but the torque limiter seemed separated from the shaft and would not tightened, I went ahead and ordered a new torque limiter. However, in pulling the motor to replace the torque limiter I am realizing it may be a different problem: I...

Hi my pool cover stopped working over the weekend one day before my big pool party on the 4th of July. I had noticed that the cover seemed to struggle and pause a bit at times when opening and closing and it failed altogether and stayed stuck in the closed position. I was able to crank it...

Hi I am a first time pool owner as of a month ago and this is my first ever post! I am wondering what is a typical amount of water loss that I should be expecting as I have found that I am having to add water every few days to keep the water from dropping below the tile line. I marked the...
