I am having a day just like yours (critters, kids, mow & swim) and yes this is the life. Cheers!

Hey all, Thanks for all the advice! I have had a Warrior SI for a few months and GOODNESS my pool looks amazing. Quick question: Pre-robot cleaner, I used to manually scrub and vacuum the pool about once a week. It would look great for a day or two and then slowly attract stuff blown in from...

Ahhhh florida..... Seattle is 60 and grey today!!! No pool action except maybe fishing my kids swimsuits out of the pool. Everything blows in there.....

Thanks so much!

I got a robot (Warrior SE) for Mother's Day and haven't vacuumed the pool since!!!! HEAVEN!!!

Hi all, I've got pH at 8.5 and TA at 120, poolmath has me adding 2 quarts, 3 cups of muriatic acid to reach targets for pH and TA. I would like to scrub the tiles at the waterline and the diving board with a diluted muriatic acid wash. If I use the 2 quarts recommended to correct pH and TA...

Following. Seattle here. There are very few pool companies up here, so the prices are ridiculous. We did a quickie DIY drain, scrub, patch and fill when we first moved into the house three years ago. The pool was in okay shape for a 50 year old pool, but the pool was relatively unused for a...

Ran the lil' scrubby (Warrior SE :) my mothers day present) and drank a few brewskis while cannonballing with the kiddos & hubs. First warm day in a while!!!

Any recommendations on pool thermometers that transmit to a display indoors? Ours just died and we need a replacement. We use ours all the time, in Seattle the weather is very changeable (it can be rainy and cold one day and sunny the next) so the wireless to indoor display feature is very...

I know I don't need to introduce myself as a newbee, but here I am!!! I was taught by pool machinery guy (actually a straight shooter and very nice), when backwashing you run for 2/3 mins at "backwash" and then follow with approx 10 sec at waste. Is this correct? My filter says to go to...

Bought the house from a lady who didn't use the pool much (for 50+ years!) Recoat the plaster might be in my future :oops: Thanks so much for the feedback! These forums have been a game changer!

My guess is that everyone is home and opening their pools! They are busy and possibly understaffed for distancing reasons. They open at 10am & I left a voicemail at 10:19 (their local time). Got a call around noon......

No I'm in Seattle and we mostly have rainwater & snowmelt in our city water, very soft. Thinking about leaching if there is not enough calcium?

So, I got really granular with the new test kit. I like playing "Mad Scientist".....:laughblue: TCL 5 Ph 7.8 FC 6ppm CC 0 CH 500 TA 110 CYA 30 (Separate test for salt was 2700) Should I even bother with the Ph adjustment? Besides the CYA I'm looking okay....right? My biggest concern is my pool...

You were right, one more call and they knew I wasn't going away THAT easily!!!! :D

The reason I ask is that I can order from PoolSupplyUnlimited or Amazon and get other models relatively quickly, which isn't ideal but it can be done. I've been reaching out to Marina's since Mother's Day weekend and have gotten one email back.

Hi All, I'm going to pull the trigger and finally get a pool cleaner. The Pentair Warrior SE and Dolphin 200 look just fine, I don't need a caddy or remote programming. I've emailed and called with Marina's Pool & Spa to make a purchase and everything has gone to voicemail. Are they possibly not...

I actually said "ooooooh" looks awesome!

Dumb beginner question..... we are getting a lot of evaporation when heating the pool. I have used solar shield additives in the past with some success. Are there covers for a lagoon shaped pool? I'll see if I can throw in a photo. Similar shape & size to this one:

Hi all! I'm new to posting on the forums but I've lurked around for a bit. In my signature I have detailed a bit of my pool, it is a salt water mid-century pool with sparkly plaster, crazy curves and features. I love it. When we bought the house 3 years ago, we drained and gave the plaster a...

Brush and a quick swipe with the leaf basket. I HAVE GOT to get me a robot!
