    Pentair app, pool temp not changing

    All - I have a Pentair easytouch. I am not getting an accurate reading from the pool temp probe. It reads a constant 55 degrees on the app. If I stick the probe in ice water the temp on the easytouch changes but it doesnt change on the app. Its been like this for a while and I finally have the...

    Shotcrete (input needed)

    Thanks for the replies. The top of the raised bond beam is 25' long. The sheer descent pipe is right at 12'3". The center of the cut out is 14'6". So the pipe is just about centered. I think that once the pool is complete it will look like a body of water and the left of center cut out will...

    Shotcrete (input needed)

    Hello all we moved to a new home and are doing a BYOP build. We got our shotcrete last week. When they did the shotcrete they placed our sheer descent in what would be the very middle of the swimming area of the pool (where we wanted the deepest part of the pool). But its not centered in the...

    New owner-builder (kinda) in Arizona

    We went with Blue Granite Pebble sheen and love it. But if you are wanting "sapphire blue" water then Blue Granite probably isn't what you would want. Pebble Tec stands behind their product and if we were to build another pool or resurface we would use them with out a second thought. Here is a...

    Motor identification

    Thanks for the recommendations and advice. I believe my pump runs on 115V. Can anyone recommend a direct replacement for my current pump? I have found several options online but none of them seem to cross reference. Any help is appreciated.

    If 75 degrees is okay with you than a big solar system might just do the trick. Here is the best data that I found when I was doing all my research. Solar Pool heating in Phoenix, Arizona

    They are making a profit on you going with them instead of the other guys always remember that! They should be happy to hear from you no matter the question. now is the time to make changes and get the pool you want. Once its done its done! Making changes after the fact is very costly!

    How often does a cartridge filter need cleaning?

    I clean mine twice a year. As long as your pressure is steady at 10 and no other parameters have changed you should be good to go.
