Hi, my pentair vacuum is going round in circles only in the same spot. I cleared out the baskets and I have opened it up nothing was stuck in it. I wanted to ask if anyone has any suggestions how to fix it. I bought it in 2017 so it's 5 years old, I am not sure how long they are supposed to...

I think it is this one, IntelliBrite® 5G Color LED Pool Lights Thank you for responding to my post!!! I have asked the builder I used to email me the information.

If anyone can give me some guidance on how to change out a pool light order where I can order a new Pentair light? Thank you!!

The small LED light in the deep end is not working properly, it turns on but it will not stay on one solid color when I set it, it keeps changing color. I think water has entered it, and I believe it is pentair not to sure. Does anyone in Las Vegas have any recommendations who I can call or...

Good Morning, It has been a while that I have posted anything here. I woke up this morning to the shallow end of the pool being frozen, and half of the top layer of the spa. The variable pump anti freeze was running all night, I am glad I invested in this. My question is do I need to added...

The water is 32 degrees, the with a layer of ice on the shallow end. Burrrr it’s cold outside.

Thank you Dirk, I want to make sure I follow all the rules to make sure it is very safe. :)

Good Morning, I wanted to ask if anyone could guide me were I can find out what are the pool gate requirement codes in Clark County Nevada? I have been getting quotes on replacing our back yard gate with a taller one that reaches the cinder block (7ft), of course it needs to auto shut, and I...

Thank yo Jason, I should have know not to listen to that pool guy. I asked him if it would ruin my colored plaster and said he wasn't sure..... :confused:

Hi FF, yes, the reason for the drain would be for the high CH. The pool guy started asking me if I need any services such as draining, I did mention to him I know how to do it on my own. That's when he told me about bleaching the walls. I told him my walls were fine. He said that there is always...

Thank you Knauss and Dirk. I was not aware of this. My neighbors pool guy was trying to get me to hire him about a year ago, and he asked me the other day how everything was. We started talking about draining, he told me when I drain I need to poor Chlorine down the side of the pool on the...

Thank you , I only use liquid chlorine for the pool (bleach). I think about the borates. I would like to find a solution the wasp that are flying over to our pool to take a little dip. [emoji4]

Thank you, my CH is always climbing . When I drain and fill it is at at 400, last drain was oct or November last year . My CH is at 850 now. I have been making sure my numbers are all good FC 5 PH 7.5 TA 70 Cya 30-this one always confuses me CH 850 I don’t want to drain until Jan or Feb. I...

I am thinking of adding borates to the pool, to help manage the Ph and keep bees, wasps and pigeons out of the water. We had no idea that we had so many other animals around the yard, before the pool was built. I think some around us has a wasp nest, and this morning I found something that...

Thank you, Knauss. I have adjusted the flow to a lower speed a few months ago, it has helped a little not to much, it will always mess with the PH unfortunately. I am not sure how to keep the CH from raising, when I drain and fill with new water, it's always at 400. I will need to drain in the...

The water is from the Las Vegas Valley Water District. The PH is kind of hard to manage, we do lower it to keep the TA at 70 and CSI down. When we had the pool built the designer suggested that we have a spill over on the spa, and it wraps around the spa, sounded good at the time. The water...

Thank you, I wanted to test because the water will build up the salt, is that correct... :)

Good Morning, I use Bleach our pool, and it does not have a SWG. I wanted to ask what do i need to buy to test the salt that has accumulated in the water from the Bleach and MA? Thank you,

I will be placing an order tomorrow. Thank you !

Thank you Will, I will definitely be taking care of our pool the TFP way [emoji4].

Hi Will, I just saw this post. I am feeling more confident with the testing and adding the chemicals that are needed. I am having an issue with keeping my CH down. I think I may drain 50% of my water this weekend. I may need to do this every opening of the pool for the summer or try to figure...

Thank you Dirk, I will be reading more of your thread this evening. We don't get to much rain in here in Vegas. I wonder what others are doing about the hard water we have in here in Vegas. :confused:

Thank you Kim, I don't use the tablets, I use bleach, MA and when needed baking soda. My tap water reads at a 325, not sure if that has anything to do with it. I keep thinking it's something I am doing with the chemicals. Dirk, I would like to hear about you adventures when you have time. :)...

Hi Everyone, I have opened our pool, cleaned the filters last weekend. I did a full test last night, and this is what I came up with. FC 2- added 38oz of bleach last night to bring it up to a 5 PH 8.0- added 19oz of MA last night to drop it to a 7.5 TA- 60- going to test this today, since I...

Vegas OB! Just got plans back and need some feedback (pics included ? ) Your home is an oasis , it looks amazing!

Yesterday morning , Cleaned filters gave the pool a good scrub , added a little Bleach. The pool is officially open for the summer. The water was 70 degrees and the kids didn’t mind it, still to cold for me. [emoji4]

Wow, the yard looks amazing! I may be sending you a PM for your landscapers number. :) I might be barrowing a few of your landscaping ideas, if you don't mind.

Wow ,this is a amazing, and gorgeous! I’m thinking about adding a fire pit in our yard. I will be looking in to the fire kit you mentioned in a previous post. Thank you for sharing.

Hello mknauss, My CYA is at 19 (this test is always gets me). I went to the pool store to find out what they said about the CYA , they said it was at a 15. I have added 9oz of conditioner to try to bump up the CYA closer to a 30, as we get close summer, as you advised. My water has been...

I really like the shed and of course the fabulous pool!
