Re: So you want to add borates to your pool--Why and How Thot I'd mention that I test my water every Mon and run the numbers on Taylor Tech. and they never seem to recommend anything, except when I wanted to lower the TA from 90 to 70 to begin the process to add the borax...Can it really be...

Re: So you want to add borates to your pool--Why and How Thanks for the quick reply! But after reading the post from Freelancer, I decided to forego the borax tx totally. My ph doesn't seem to have moved since I opened the pool this spring, algae hasn't been present since I started...

Okay, I hope I can get some answers here....since I'm coming in long after the discussion's over. I went out and bought the borax and acid. Had to add 28oz of acid (per pool calc) to get my TA/ph where they need to be. TA was 90 and Ph 7.3 When adding the acid...my goodness, the fumes about...

Nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem. THANKS!

Yes outside.

Thanks, that's what I'll do. What should I cover the drain tile with? rock?

we recently put in a 28' AG. Had to excavate the back hill out so pool and new deck would meet up with existing covered deck. All is good, except the ground around the pool is now rain soaked and holding water. This is the front of the hill, so it goes from about 3.5 ft to 0 as it goes...

After reading all these posts, I have come with an idea. My solar frame is close to the pool. I do not have the space for a huge roll of solar cover so I was thinking about getting some webbing and making about 6-8 cradles attaching one end to the solar frame and the other end to the pool...

I tried to send my pics to an outsource place, couldn't get it to work. Could I just email my pics to you? I too have a rover Jr. what do you mean when you say you hard plumbed it?

I took pics but when I tried to upload just one of them it came back the file is too big...?????

I have l fafco Bear and one Sunsetter (believe its manuf. by fafco) My son came over and installed them on a panel he built. The newest panel is on the bottom and it has a springlocated in the middle and a shut off valve. The older cheaper model on top has none. So he plumbed in an "H"...

UPDATE Good news. The guy that installed my pool is going to fix the motor(he too said it was probably berrings) and I'm dropping it off at his house today and it'll be ready tomorrow!! Somewhere i read the best way to connect 2 solars panels together but can't find it anywhere! Something...

I will definately try to find a motor repair place on Monday! Thankyou so much for your advise. I'd read and read all the posts ect for over 3 hours last night and with my limited knowledge of mechanical things, I was afraid it was that. I forgot to metion that while the pump was off, it...

I am new to pool ownership, new to forums in general and this one in particular. I'm at a loss...and a crossroad between crying hystically and running as far away from this pool as I can get. It is the "pool from heck" one thing leads to another and now my pump just started making a LOUD...
