Genius! I do.

Hi! I have a rental property with a RayPak propane heater. I need to be able to turn on the pool heater before the guests arrive. Which solutions do you folks recommend? Bonus would be to monitor the propane use. I have a wireless tank monitor but that's not very accurate. It's...

Dear Jim- Thank you so much! That all makes sense. I will go try it. Im pretty sure the skimmer is supposed to be full on. I didnt know that either position was a 90/10 proposition. How do you measure the percentage with that valve. What are the two scenarios I have illustrated...

Hi! I replaced the salt cell on my pool yesterday. I think I might have placed the 3-way valve in the wrong position when I finished. My pool has one inlet, one return and the floor drain. I believe thats how the valve should be configured. I know it was either in the position that...

Ok James. Thanks. Your information is invaluable. Im doing this remotely from the home and don't have readings. Only a message from company that I need a new cell. I will be there tomorrow and will get readings (its been so long that I will have to watch a video).

I have yet to ascertain for sure that the quote is for the SAME cell. Moreover, as someone else suggested, the quote MIGHT include the board. I have yet to hear back from the company about that. I have no problem paying for good service and parts. My original post was asking if anyone...

Im assuming its just for the cell until I hear differently. So they are all the same? Is "Extended Life Pro" just marketing speak? I think it this one: TurboCells | Sanitizers | In Ground Pool Sanitizers - Hayward Pool Products - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - I know. I see them...

hey all- i havent been able to maintain my pool myself this summer. the pool maintenance company said the cell doesnt seem to be producing chlorine. I think the cell is at least 5 years old. I cleaned it in muriatic acid myself last summer. I guess this is something companies won't do...

Hi- Can you operate the heater with the mesh on? I've seen this topic discussed on other sites and everyone says to remove all the material when the heater is in use. It didnt make sense to me as I can't figure out how the mesh interferes with operation.

Re: Just had my liner replaced. Lost 1/2" of water from 8PM til this AM. What next? Hey there. Thanks for responding. The pump was running (the skimmer wasn't though, only the drain). The guys from the company came back today and plugged up some questionable lines and lights. I filled...

Just had my liner replaced. Lost 1/2" of water from 8PM til this AM. What next? Our pool was constantly needing to be refilled last summer. We had a 25+ year old vinyl liner. My pool service company recommended a liner replacement company and they cut out the old one and installed a new...

Hi there. Yes I do have those two modes. That doesnt really solve my Night/Day requirement which I only want on the weekends. Could I take your solution of a 7-day programmable timer and be able to have the following two states: 1. Heater on with 2 set points. Spa (night) and Pool (day)...

Hello TFP people! I will be having paid weekend guests this summer in my New England home. We have a 4' deep 20x40' pool . We have a Hayward 406a propane heater. Guests will arrive on Friday night and leave Sunday night. They want the pool heated during the weekend. I want them to...

Thanks!

Hiya TFP people- Well since joining the community I've done a great job of maintaining my pool chemistry. My pool is scheduled to close this pm. I have still retained my company to help me with this as I can't handle the cover myself. Free Chlorine: 3.5 Combined Chlorine - none/trace PH...

Ill be closing the pool down in a month or so. Last week of September. Yup. I'm going to add some more this afternoon. Thanks!

Taylor K2006. I'm pretty diligent about it since i started.

Ok. I will. I thought that in Auto mode it took care of itself. I'll turn it to 10% and see what happens. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey there. Thanks for responding. I added 4 lbs. don't really have a goal but i had zero. Will pick some more up today. I haven't really learned to manage chlorine production with the pump. The pool company had taken care of everything. I guess that's next -- perhaps having the pump run...

(apologies for posting this in pool chemistry as well....please advise where it is appropriate) Hello all- This weekend, I decided to start taking care of the pool myself. First order of business was to clean my Hayward Turbo Cell. Bam. Done. Chlorine is getting produced. I had put it on...

Hello all- This weekend, I decided to start taking care of the pool myself. First order of business was to clean my Hayward Turbo Cell. Bam. Done. Chlorine is getting produced. I had put it on SuperChlorinate for 24 hours after cleaning on Saturday and then switched it back to Auto...

Thank you sir! You've done us all a great service with this forum. I feel like I'm in good hands.

Yeah...i do live in the boonies. i have a small place among many large estates (50+ acres). Not a lot of density of pools + few pools/sq mile + weekenders (more than 50% of the homes) = $$$$

Hey Jim- Thanks for your advice! As I told kimkats, I currently have FC of 6.2 this morning. I bought a 4lb bottle of powdered CYA. Wondering if I should wait until the chlorine burns to 4.0 (if it does) before I add. The instructions say add to the skimmer. I know I will need more...

Those are great! Thanks for posting that information. Here are my latest readings as of 8AM this morning: FC: 6.2 CC: 0.2 (maybe....the pink is so faint in this test im never sure i have any CC) PH: 7.5 TA:80 Hardness: 180 CYA: 0 I was able to find a hardware store with HTF Stabilizer. I'm...

Hey guys. So I spent a lot of time researching robots and last night took your reco's and added them to the mix. After much consideration, I went ahead and bought the Polaris 9450 Sport. Based on: 1. Programmability 2. Wide intake 3. Large capacity (though we don't get much debris and...

Thanks! So what brand/model robot would you advise getting? Do I need something that climbs walls? If you have any suggestions I would be very glad to hear them. Reliability is my #1 concern. I will pay more if the unit is reliable. Grass clippings would be the main thing in the...

Hey kimkats- I tested the pool with the TAYLOR TECHNOLOGIES INC K-1766 DROP TEST CHLORIDE SALT WATER and the TAYLOR-K2006 TEST KIT. I have some stuff in my shed that I believe is some salt of salt treatment. Its from Phoenix supplies and is called Saline 7. I went to a local pool company...
