OK, I wasn't sure this belonged under this thread so if there is a better one, feel free to move me along :) I wanted to share some pics of my new liner install. I am so freaking happy with this liner and the overall color effect. The pictures hardly do it justice Liner is by GLI - Durango 20...

Hello, Yesterday I went out to clean my skimmer baskets and noticed that there was not water coming from my returns. Walked over to equipment pad and pump was not running. Not sure what happened. Initial thought was maybe we lost power over night and it hadn’t restarted automatically. So I went...

Hello! Not sure if this was the correct forum for this. Apologies if not, feel free to relocate as appropriate. I am getting a new liner this year and I am heavily leaning toward the Shimmer Stone line from GLI: SHIMMER STONE FOR DESTINATION SERIES Specifically either the Esagono or Obsidian...

Hello! I am having a new liner installed this month. My pool runs off of an SWG, however, I assume it will need liquid chlorine to start once we get it filled so as not to overtax the SWG cell/equipment. That aside, I'm planning for how much salt I'm going to need to purchase. I have a pretty...

Hello! Hoping someone here can help me out. The pool that came with our house has two of these light boxes but I don’t know how they work or even if they work. There’s no sign of a switch or remote control. The lights have never come on since we’ve moved in/opened the pool so no type of sensor...

Hi there I have a brand new unit. Installed in April and put into service in May. Yesterday I got an error code for cell maintenance so today I soaked it in 1p. MA and 5p. Water for 10 min. I will add that it didn’t look dirty and there was no bubbling or fizzing at all. When I reinstalled it...

Hello! I got my test kit last summer and ordered the one with the PH meter. I’ve never really felt it was very accurate and have struggles to trust it. This summer I decided to try again and I am attempting to recalibrate it and it’s just rapidly and randomly changing numbers (number scale is...

Hi all, I’m working on getting my cya up and have added stabilizer to a nylon in front of a return. It’s now been 6 hours and I’ve been squishing it every hour or so and it’s not dissolving and when I squish it no white cloud (best way I can describe it) of product is coming from the sock...

Hello! So the pool company just came out and “opened” the pool for the season. All I have them do is the physical/hardware stuff (safety cover, handrails, diving board, skimmers, etc.) I take care of the water chemistry. However upon start up only two of my four returns have water coming out of...

Hello, I recently replaced all of my pool equipment. New pump, filter, heater, and added an SWG. One thing I didn't realize when I chose my new filter is that it doesn't have a waste/discharge line...my previous filter (Jacuzzi model unknown) had three 'ports'... the inlet (coming from the...

Hello from still chilly Michigan - I am scheduled to have my SWG installed next week (with pool opening to follow in early May). I want to be sure I am buying a good quality salt product...is this sufficient? Or do you recommend something different? Thanks! Stephanie

Hi there, so we are still a couple of months away from opening (it's still dang cold here in MI), but I purchased an SWG at the end of last year that will be installed this spring along with my new filter, pump & heater!! Super excited for all the brand new equipment :D So here is my question...

Hello, well it's a sad day here in MI as I am closing up the pool for the winter :( The good news about this is that I am about to order the new pool equipment I've been wanting. I've been waiting for the filter to come in as it has been on backorder and I just got the email saying it is back...

Hello, I plan to convert to SWG next season and I will be replacing all of my equipment at that time as well (pump, filter, and heater). I really want the XL kit that discount salt pool sells (CircuPool® Ultimate Combo (Large) with SmartFlo 3.0 THP) but the larger filters Triple 400 and Triple...

Hello! I am curious about valve positions/identification. Obviously there is off and “not off” but sometimes the “not off” has more than one position and I’m wondering if it matters. For example the one labeled S for skimmers can be turned to three different positions. Valve off (handle pointing...

Hello! One of the elbow pieces has cracked (going from the heater to the return jets). I've called around and no one can get out to repair it in the next week (at best). The leak is bad, I cannot run my pump without keeping my hose in the water to replace what I am losing via the leak. This...

Hello, I'm hoping someone here might have some ideas on how to fix an issue I am having with the App. I subscribed to the premium version, however every time I create a new log, or try to, it tells me I am not subscribed - so I go into the subscription and re-subscribe, and then it works. But I...

Hi there, Our new pool is surrounded by a stamped concrete. It gets RIDICULOUSLY freaking hot and my poor pups are feeling the burn on their feet. Does anyone have any suggestions, tips, or tricks on how to protect their feet? Thinking that I may put some kind of mat all the way around? Or try...

Hi all How would you read this? I think it’s approx 7.4? It still seems a little more orange than red to me. Agree? Disagree?

Hello! So we just moved into our new house with our new pool. Still learning a lot but I tested the water today and two days ago (I hope my logs are showing up?) Just in case, today's numbers are: FC 6.0 pH 7.0 (did not use the meter as I haven't calibrated it yet - just used the color...

Hello! When I ordered my test kit from tfptest kits.com, I also got the PH-009(I)A pen type pH meter. I am attempting to calibrate it for the first time and it says it needs 250 mL of deionized water. I did a quick search for deionized water And apparently it’s not just something I can get from...

Hello! I hope this is the right forum for my question. Please feel free to relocate if needed. We close on our house this week. One of my first projects is to convert the pool to an SWG and replace the equipment (pump and filter (keeping existing heater)) - I'm leaning toward the CircuPool...

Hi there, I've never used liquid chlorine before (always had a SWG on previous pools). Are these the correct items? One of the HDX says it is Shock but according to the ingredients it's the same percentage of Sod. Hypo. vs. "other" ingredients. How do I know if the those "other" ingredients...

Hello, I am in the process of buying a house with an IG pool (what details I know at this time are in my signature). I grew up with above ground pools and have had one much of my life, but they were always salt water pools. I would like to convert this one at some point but from what I've read...

Hello, we are buying a home that has a large inground pool (25 x 45). We live in Michigan and get significant snowfall during the winter. The current owner covers the pool in the winter with a standard cover held in place by the "water balloons" (sorry I don't know the technical name). However...

Hello, we have put an offer in (which was accepted) on a "new to us" house that has a very large inground pool. The current owner bought the house as a foreclosure a few years ago and therefor has no manuals, records, or anything really regarding the pool beyond her own maintenance when she took...
