Hi there, I have a Jandy JXI natural gas heater and about a week ago I started getting the low flow warning coming on at my lowest pre-set pump speed setting (which I believe is set at 1750 rpm). I have had no issue in the several years since our pool installation. The heater has no issues...

Hi and thanks in advance for any feedback/comments. While doing some unrelated research on the TFP site, someone had mentioned the Pool Blaster brand; specifically the Pool Blaster Catfish. When I looked it up it got me thinking that something like this would be useful for me for in between...

First off thanks too everyone on this site for feedback and all the resources that are available. I'm on my second year being a pool owner. Last year went pretty well in terms of maintaining the water. The only things I needed to add to the water last year were stabilizer and muriatic acid. I...

I hesitated to ask this as it feels like an odd question but here goes. I don't get that much "nature debris" (leaves, plant material, etc.) in my backyard which is nice. The main source of anything in my backyard mainly comes from a neighbors tree when it is windy. After a recent clean up...

Hi all, My mind keeps drifting to opening our pool in May - it can't come soon enough! I am going into my second year as a pool owner. I sort of recall reading here and there about daily storage of robot cleaners and wanted to ask about that. Last season I was storing my robot on the...

I just wanted to share some of my experience with my recent robot purchase. I did a lot of research as I always do before I bought the robot. It was a bit difficult though in terms of research as most of the robots I read about did not seem to be available in Canada. I ended up going with...

Hi all, I'm still very new, new fiberglass pool was finished about 6 weeks ago. For warranty purposes i'm supposed to get the water tested once a month at a pool store. I had the water tested yesterday, and today I ran my own tests (I meant to do my own tests yesterday as well but couldn't)...

Hi everyone, new pool owner here, would love some feedback on fine tuning my water. Here are my test results: FC 4.5 CC 0 TC 4.5 CH 200 TA 80 CYA 60 PH 7.8 Salt 3,600 To date I have only put into the pool granular stabilizer (about 1,800 grams) and about 47 oz of muriatic acid, this...

Hi all, I'm completely new to having a pool. My gas line was just hooked up and I started using the heater. I understand that as the pump runs the water is heated as it passes through the heater, easy enough. However, I noticed that when I stopped the pump the heater then gives a warning...

Hi everyone, We have been looking at pavers and finally settled on one. We want a uniform look so we wanted the coping to be an exact match to the paver stones. The problem is that the stone that we would use for coping is not really made as pool coping but rather as a piece that would sit on...

Hi everyone, I would greatly appreciate some feedback as I haven't been able to come to a conclusion from doing my own research. note that i'm a complete rookie never having had a pool before. I'm going to be installing the Leisure Pools 26' Elegance model, I calculate that it holds approx...

Hi, I'm currently looking into getting a new inground pool, likely would be 14,250 gallons. Does anyone have any thoughts on the Hayward Aquarite low salt SWG? Is there some benefit to having a lower salt level? AquaRite Low Salt | Hayward Canada Not sure why but it is only listed on the...

Hi everyone, some quick background on myself - my wife and I live in Toronto, Canada, have never owned a pool and are looking into getting an inground fiberglass pool. Everything I currently think I know is from a few months of internet research, a few meetings/quotes from pool builders, and...

Hi there, My wife and I are in the quote stage for a new inground pool. We have never owned a pool and our current knowledge is mainly from web browsing and speaking with some friends that own vinyl IG pools. I've poked around on this site and others and it's extremely overwhelming as to...
